Yolanda Ariyela — 2026-07-31

Purpose: Employee commitment is a psychological state that has direct implications on the decision to retain or terminate membership. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the role of emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and organizational support in increasing the commitment of employees of Muslim fashion retail companies in Cirebon City through a systematic and structured quantitative approach.

Design/methodology/approach: This study applied a descriptive-quantitative approach with a population as well as a sample of 83 employees. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire instrument distributed online using the Google Forms platform, with a four-point Likert model measurement scale. The data analysis was carried out in stages, including multiple linear regression tests, partial and simultaneous hypothesis testing, and path analysis with the support of SPSS 25 software.

Findings: The results of the analysis confirmed that the ability to manage emotions had a positive and real effect on the level of employee loyalty at PT GIIZ Sejahtera (t-count 7.415 > t-table 1.999; p = 0.037). Confidence in self-capacity also showed a significant impact on strengthening the affective bonds of workers in the same company (t = 2,117 > 1,999; p = 0.002). Similarly, perceptions of institutional support were statistically shown to increase organizational commitment (t = 6,956 > 1,999; p < 0.001). Overall, all three predictor variables—both when tested separately and combined—make a substantial and meaningful contribution to shaping employee attachment to the organization.

Nursitti Khumairoh — 2026-08-03

Purpose: This study develops a practical financial engineering model to improve cost efficiency, financial risk control, and competitiveness among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the cracker industry of Sidoarjo Regency, East Java, Indonesia.

Design/methodology/approach: The study applies a descriptive qualitative design supported by structured secondary-data extraction. Data were collected from government publications, MSME directories, previous studies, journal articles, institutional reports, and relevant online business sources. A total of 200 data items were organised into four analytical domains: cost structure and financial risks, financial engineering instruments for cost efficiency, financial risk control and competitiveness, and financial engineering model development.

Findings: The findings show that cracker MSMEs operate in a cost-sensitive environment shaped by raw material price volatility, energy costs, manual labour intensity, limited working capital, delayed payments, and informal pricing. Practical financial engineering instruments, including costing sheets, unit cost calculation, break-even point analysis, contribution margin analysis, working capital control, receivable monitoring, and a simple risk register, can improve pricing accuracy, liquidity discipline, and business resilience.

Research limitations/implications: The research object was local cracker business units and production clusters, particularly those associated with Kedungrejo-Jabon, Krembung, Tulangan, Porong, and other village-based MSME areas.

Practical implications: The proposed model can guide MSME owners, local government, cooperatives, and business mentors in designing cost-calculation training, digital bookkeeping assistance, risk-based pricing, and working-capital control programmes.

Originality/value: This article contributes a contextual financial engineering framework for food-based MSME clusters by integrating cost efficiency, financial risk control, and competitiveness improvement in one practical model.

The Influence of Product Imitation, Price, and Social Media Marketing on Consumer Confusion among Jims Honey Bag Consumers

Septi Apriliyanti — 2026-08-04

This study aims to analyze the influence of product imitation, price, and social media marketing on consumer confusion among consumers of Jims Honey bags in Cirebon City. The phenomenon of consumer confusion is increasingly common in Indonesia due to the high level of imitation of local fashion products in both online and offline markets. Marketplace data indicates that there are more than 3,860 product listings resembling Jims Honey, with the growth of imitation products reaching 35% year-over-year in 2024. Using an associative quantitative approach with a survey design, data were collected from 110 consumers through an online questionnaire and analyzed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that all three variables significantly influence consumer confusion. Price shows the highest influence with a path coefficient of 0.554 (t = 5.659; p = 0.000), followed by product imitation with a coefficient of 0.295 (t = 5.089; p = 0.000), and social media marketing with a coefficient of 0.152 (t = 2.661; p = 0.008). This study enriches Consumer Confusion Theory in the context of Indonesian local fashion products, demonstrating that consumer confusion is a systemic phenomenon arising from the complexity of market arrangements. The practical implications suggest that local brands need to focus their strategies on clear product differentiation, consistency in transparent pricing systems, and informative digital communication. Future research is recommended to expand the geographical context and product categories and to employ a longitudinal approach to better understand the dynamics of consumer confusion more comprehensively.

The Influence of Joy and Coolness on Willingness to Make In-Game Purchases Among Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Players Through the Mediating Roles of Game Experience and Immersion

Nur Ilma Shafarisa — 2026-08-04

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the influence of joy and coolness on willingness to make in-game purchases among Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) players in Indonesia, with game experience and immersion serving as mediating variables.

Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using an online questionnaire distributed to 100 active MLBB players across Indonesia who had previously made in-game purchases. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with bootstrapping procedures via SmartPLS software..

Findings: Of 13 hypotheses tested, three were supported. Joy significantly and positively influenced game experience (? = 0.549, p < 0.001), as did coolness (? = 0.264, p = 0.002). Together, these variables explained 54.6% of the variance in game experience. Immersion emerged as the sole significant direct predictor of willingness to make in-game purchases (? = 0.344, p = 0.001). All proposed mediation paths through game experience, immersion, and sequential chain mediation were not statistically supported.

Research limitations/implications: The sample size of 100 respondents limited statistical power for detecting indirect effects. The coolness construct also showed suboptimal reliability and convergent validity, requiring instrument refinement in future research.

Practical implications: Game developers and marketers should prioritize strategies that deepen player immersion — such as enriching gameplay mechanics, developing emotionally resonant narratives, and offering exclusive in-game items — as immersion is the most direct driver of in-game purchase intentions.

Originality/value: This study integrates the Hedonic Motivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM) with coolness theory in a single empirical model within the Indonesian mobile gaming context, providing novel insights into the role of immersion as a critical gateway to in-game purchasing behavior.

Chriestine Ayu Ashari — 2026-08-06

The transformation of higher education requires private universities to implement effective governance to enhance the quality of human resources and institutional competitiveness. This study aims to identify the main findings and future research directions regarding Good University Governance (GUG) within the context of human resource empowerment in private universities. The study employs a qualitative approach using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Data were obtained by searching Scopus-indexed scientific articles using the keyword "good university governance." The review process was conducted systematically through the stages of identification, selection, analysis, and synthesis of relevant articles. The results indicate that the implementation of Good University Governance principles, such as transparency, accountability, participation, independence, and fairness, contributes to improving the quality of university governance and supporting the development of human resource competencies. Furthermore, the application of GUG fosters a more adaptive, collaborative, and performance-oriented academic environment. This review also reveals that research on Good University Governance in private universities is still relatively limited; thus, further research development is required to integrate aspects of leadership, digital transformation, and organizational sustainability to support the future competitiveness of higher education institutions.

0.05 in 2021, before gradually improving to 0.56 in 2023 and slightly decreasing to 0.47 in 2024. The solvency
ratio indicates a high level of leverage, with the Debt to Asset Ratio consistently exceeding 0.5, reflecting a
strong dependence on debt financing. In terms of profitability, the company recorded negative performance in
several years, as indicated by negative Net Profit Margin values during the pandemic period. Furthermore, the
Total Asset Turnover remained below 1.0, indicating inefficient asset utilization. Overall, the findings suggest
that although PT Garuda Indonesia Tbk has shown gradual recovery after restructuring, the company still faces
significant challenges in achieving financial stability and operational efficiency. This study contributes to the
understanding of financial performance in capital-intensive industries during crisis and recovery periods.

The Effect of Inflation and Gold Prices on Stock Returns: An Empirical Study of Mining Companies in the Metals and Minerals Subsector Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the Period 2018-2024

Sri Aprillia — 2026-08-08

This study analyzes the stock returns of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the metals and minerals subsector during the 2018–2024 period. The effects of inflation and gold prices will be evaluated. Data analysis in this study employs multiple linear regression, preceded by tests of classical assumptions, including tests for normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation. Subsequently, hypothesis testing is conducted using the t-test, F-test, and the coefficient of determination (R²) to determine the magnitude of the independent variables’ influence on the dependent variable. Multiple linear regression and secondary data obtained from government databases form the foundation of the quantitative methodology used in this study. According to this study, stock returns are not influenced by inflation or gold prices. Furthermore, other variables play a more dominant role in influencing stock return movements, as the research model can only explain a small portion of the variance in stock returns. The findings of this study are expected to be beneficial for capital market researchers and investors.

Keyword: capital market; inflation, gold prices, stock returns.

Development of Risk Governance and Logistics Framework for Government Building Projects in 3T Areas

Suriano Buyung — 2026-08-15

The construction of government buildings in the Southwest Papua region faces different challenges compared to construction projects in urban areas of Indonesia. The characteristics of the archipelago, limited transportation infrastructure, high dependence on material distribution from outside the region, and socio-cultural complexity of local communities cause a high risk of project delays. This research aims to develop a risk management and logistics framework that is in accordance with the characteristics of government building construction projects in the Southwest Papua region. The research uses a qualitative case study approach with research locations on several government building projects implemented in Raja Ampat Regency, Sorong Regency, and Sorong City. The informants consist of contractors, supervisory consultants, commitment makers, project managers, and community leaders selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out using the interactive model Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña through the process of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that project delays are influenced by five main themes, namely geographical and logistical barriers, socio-cultural dynamics of local communities, weak coordination between stakeholders, limited project risk management capacity, and uncertainty in the procurement of construction materials. The research resulted in an archipelagic region-based integrated risk governance and logistics framework that emphasizes risk identification from the planning stage, strengthening multi-stakeholder coordination, logistics buffer strategies, and local community involvement. These findings make a theoretical contribution to the development of 3T regional construction project risk management as well as practical implications for local governments and construction implementers.

The Influence of Financial Literacy, Marketplace, and Financial Technology on Entrepreneurial Behavior with Self-Efficacy as a Moderating Variable among Undergraduate Students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Surabaya

Widantining Tyas Wilujeng Ardana Neswari — 2026-08-15

Entrepreneurial behavior among university students plays an essential role in fostering young entrepreneurs who can contribute to economic growth. However, the rapid development of digital technology and the improvement of financial literacy do not necessarily lead to increased entrepreneurial behavior. This study aims to examine the effects of financial literacy, marketplace utilization, and financial technology on entrepreneurial behavior, as well as to investigate the moderating role of self-efficacy among undergraduate students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Surabaya. This study employed a quantitative research approach using a survey method. The population consisted of undergraduate students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Surabaya, cohorts of 2022 and 2023, who had experience in running a business. A total of 240 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a financial literacy test and a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4 software.

The findings reveal that financial literacy has no significant effect on entrepreneurial behavior. In contrast, marketplace utilization has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial behavior, whereas financial technology has a negative and significant effect on entrepreneurial behavior. Furthermore, self-efficacy does not moderate the relationship between financial literacy and entrepreneurial behavior, nor does it moderate the relationship between financial technology and entrepreneurial behavior. However, self-efficacy negatively moderates the relationship between marketplace utilization and entrepreneurial behavior. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.684 indicates that 68.4% of the variance in entrepreneurial behavior is explained by the variables included in this research model, while the remaining 31.6% is influenced by other factors beyond the scope of this study. The findings imply that enhancing students' entrepreneurial behavior can be achieved more effectively by optimizing the use of marketplaces through entrepreneurship mentoring programs. In addition, the utilization of financial technology should be directed toward productive business activities to better support the development of student entrepreneurship.

ENVIRONMENTAL LAW IN APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT IN LARGE CITIES

Augustinus Setijanto — 2026-08-15

This study aims to analyze the legal responsibilities of developers and contractors in apartment construction under Indonesian environmental law and to examine the roles of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), Environmental Governance, and Relational Governance in the prevention of environmental disputes. This study employs a normative legal methodology using legislative, conceptual, and case study approaches to examine the construction of the Uttara Yogyakarta Apartment and the LA City Jakarta Apartment. The results indicate that environmental disputes are not only caused by physical environmental damage but also by failures in the governance of relationships among stakeholders. Compliance with Law No. 32 of 2009 is a minimum requirement, whereas the success of sustainable development requires community participation, transparency, communication, trust, and good governance. This study proposes a conceptual model, the Relationship-Based Environmental Governance Theory, which links ESG Compliance, Environmental Governance, Stakeholder Trust, Social License to Operate, and Dispute Avoidance as a new paradigm in construction environmental law.
