EXPLORATION OF GLOBAL LEADERSHIP IN BUILDING EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IN MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES IN BEKASI CITY

Sumarsid Sumarsid — 2026-04-30

This study aims to explore the role of global leadership and organizational culture in building employee engagement in multinational companies in Bekasi City. The approach used was qualitative with exploratory descriptive methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using NVivo software to identify key themes. The results showed that adaptive, communicative, and participatory global leadership can increase employee trust and engagement. In addition, an inclusive, collaboration-oriented organizational culture that upholds the value of integrity has proven to be an important factor in creating a conducive work environment. This study also found a synergy between global leadership and organizational culture in strengthening employee engagement, both emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally. However, there are still challenges in implementation that are not evenly distributed across all levels of the organization. Therefore, companies need to develop an integrated strategy by strengthening cross-cultural leadership and internalizing organizational values. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions to the development of human resource management in multinational companies.

THE EFFECT OF FIRM SIZE, LEVERAGE, AND PROFITABILITY ON FIRM VALUE WITH SYSTEMIC RISK AS A MODERATING VARIABLE IN BANKING COMPANIES LISTED ON THE INDONESIA STOCK EXCHANGE DURING 2021-2025

Heri Susanto — 2026-04-30

This study aims to examine the effect of firm size, leverage, and profitability on firm value with systemic risk as a moderating variable in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2025 period. The research employed a quantitative approach using panel data, combining time-series and cross-sectional data. Panel data regression with the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) approach was applied to analyze the relationships among variables. The findings indicate that firm size has a positive but insignificant effect on firm value, implying that asset scale is no longer the primary consideration for investors in assessing banking firms. Leverage shows a negative and significant effect on firm value, indicating that high debt levels increase investors’ perceptions of financial risk. Profitability demonstrates a relatively weak influence on firm value in the baseline model. However, after systemic risk is incorporated as a moderating variable, the relationships among variables become more dynamic and significant. Systemic risk strengthens the effect of profitability and mitigates the negative impact of leverage on firm value, while weakening the influence of firm size. These results confirm that firm value in the modern banking industry is determined not only by internal financial fundamentals but also by external conditions and financial system stability. Therefore, banking companies need adaptive strategies through effective risk management, operational efficiency, and stronger resilience to systemic pressures in order to enhance firm value sustainably

THE EFFECT OF SUSTAINABILITY REPORT DISCLOSURE, GREEN ACCOUNTING AND CAPITAL INTENSITY ON THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Siti Nurfadlilah — 2026-04-30

In the era of increasing globalization, companies are no longer judged solely on their financial performance, but also on the social and environmental impact they generate. Therefore, the disclosure of sustainability reports, the implementation of green accounting, and capital intensity are important factors in evaluating the company's performance. This study aims to analyze the influence of sustainability report disclosure, which consists of economic, social, and environmental dimensions, as well as green accounting and capital intensity, on the company's financial performance as measured by Return on Assets (ROA). This study uses a quantitative method using secondary data obtained from the annual reports and sustainability reports of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2020–2024. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, while the data was analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS statistical software. The results show that the social dimension of sustainability reports, environmental dimensions of sustainability reports, and capital intensity have a significant influence on the company's financial performance, while the economic dimension of sustainability reports and green accounting do not have a significant effect on financial performance. However, at the same time, all variables have a significant effect on the company's financial performance. These findings show that a company's financial performance is not influenced by a single factor, but by a combination of various aspects of sustainability and overall management of the company's resources

INTEGRATING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, SOCIAL INFLUENCE, AND VALUE ALIGNMENT IN SUSTAINABLE CONSUMER BEHAVIOR: EVIDENCE FROM GENERATION Z IN URBAN INDONESIA

Rumna Rumna — 2026-04-30

This study examines the determinants of Sustainable Consumer Behavior (SCB) among Generation Z students in Bogor City, focusing on Emotional Intelligence (EI), Social Influence (SI), and Perceived Value Alignment (PVA). Using a quantitative, cross-sectional survey, 400 university students completed structured online questionnaires. Data were analyzed through SEM-PLS, assessing both measurement and structural models. Results indicate that Emotional Intelligence is the strongest predictor of SCB, followed by Perceived Value Alignment, while Social Influence exerts a smaller yet positive effect. The model explains 82.1% of the variance in SCB, demonstrating substantial predictive power. Discriminant validity assessments revealed high correlations among constructs, suggesting conceptual overlap. The study extends the Theory of Planned Behavior by integrating affective, value-based, and social dimensions in a post-digital context. Findings provide practical guidance for policymakers, marketers, and sustainability advocates in promoting sustainable consumption among digitally engaged youth

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK DISCIPLINE, ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT, AND JOB SATISFACTION TOWARD ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR (OCB) AMONG VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATORS IMPLEMENTING THE REGULAR GOVERNMENT-FUNDED TEACHING FACTORY PROGRAM IN JOMBANG REGENCY

Sholichatun Aisah Rahmawati — 2026-04-30

This study aims to analyze the relationship between work discipline, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction toward Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) among teachers of Vocational High Schools (SMK) implementing the Government Assistance Teaching Factory (TeFa) Regular Program in Jombang Regency. OCB refers to voluntary work behavior that exceeds formal job responsibilities and contributes to organizational effectiveness. In the context of vocational education, particularly in the implementation of Teaching Factory programs, OCB plays a crucial role because teachers are required not only to perform instructional duties but also to support an industry-based work culture through cooperation, loyalty, and active participation in school activities. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The research population consisted of teachers at SMKs implementing the Teaching Factory program in Jombang Regency. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring the variables of work discipline, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and OCB. The data were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis to determine the relationships and effects among variables. Preliminary findings indicated that teachers demonstrated a high tendency of OCB, as reflected in the dimensions of altruism, conscientiousness, sportsmanship, courtesy, and civic virtue. The findings of this study are expected to show that work discipline, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction have positive and significant relationships with OCB, both partially and simultaneously. This study provides empirical contributions to the development of human resource management in vocational high schools, particularly in strengthening a positive work culture to support the success of vocational education revitalization programs through the Teaching Factory approach.

LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY ON FIRM VALUE IN LQ45 COMPANIES

Laynita Sari — 2026-04-30

This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity and profitability on firm value in LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. Liquidity is measured using the Current Ratio (CR), profitability is measured by Return on Assets (ROA), while firm value is proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV). The study applies a quantitative research approach using panel data analysis to evaluate the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The sample consists of 27 companies included in the LQ45 index, with a total of 108 observations selected through purposive sampling techniques based on predetermined criteria. The findings reveal that liquidity has a positive and significant effect on firm value, indicating that companies with stronger liquidity positions tend to have higher market valuations. Meanwhile, profitability shows a positive but insignificant effect on firm value, suggesting that increases in profitability do not necessarily lead to significant changes in market perception or company valuation during the observed period

THE ROLE OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (HRIS) INTEGRATION AND HR SYSTEM DIGITALIZATION IN IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

La Saudin — 2026-04-30

This study aims to analyze the role of Human Resource Information System (HRIS) integration and HR system digitalization in improving the quality of employee training and development at the Batui and Luwuk Selatan District Offices, Banggai Regency. The approach used was qualitative with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using NVivo to identify key themes related to HRIS implementation, HR digitalization, and the quality of employee training. The results show that HRIS implementation is still limited to basic administrative functions and has not been optimally integrated into the HR decision-making system. HR digitalization is still in its early stages with limited digital literacy among civil servants and uneven distribution of supporting infrastructure. The quality of employee training is not fully based on competency needs analysis, making it less effective in improving employee performance. This study concludes that HRIS integration and HR digitalization play an important role in improving the effectiveness of employee training and development, but still face various challenges in its implementation. System strengthening, increasing digital competence of civil servants, and optimizing the use of HR data are needed to support more effective decision-making within the sub-district government environment

LEVERAGE AND FIRM SIZE ON FIRM VALUE IN LQ45 COMPANIES

Laynita Sari — 2026-04-30

This study aims to analyze the effect of leverage and firm size on firm value in LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. Firm value in this study is measured using Price to Book Value (PBV). This research uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from the annual financial statements of LQ45 companies published on the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, resulting in 27 companies with a total of 108 observation data. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression analysis with the assistance of EViews software. The results indicate that leverage has a positive but insignificant effect on firm value, while firm size has a negative and significant effect on firm value. These findings indicate that the use of debt has not been able to significantly increase investor confidence in company performance, while larger company size tends to reduce firm value due to inefficiency and increasing operational complexity.

UNLOCKING FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: A SIMULTANEOUS EQUATION ANALYSIS OF INDONESIA'S TOP 10 ISLAMIC BANKS

Mamay Komarudin — 2026-04-30

Purpose This investigation explores how various factors simultaneously shape financial outcomes in Indonesia's ten largest Islamic banking institutions through block-recursive simultaneous equation modeling, specifically tackling endogeneity complications embedded within performance measurement systems. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on quarterly panel observations spanning 2020-2024 from Indonesia's ten largest Islamic banks, we implement Three-Stage Least Squares estimation techniques to examine three interrelated subsystems: earnings performance measured through ROA, cost management effectiveness captured by BOPO, and portfolio quality indicated by NPF. Our simultaneous framework reveals reciprocal linkages and feedback mechanisms operating among these endogenous constructs. Findings Empirical estimation uncovers substantial simultaneous linkages connecting performance dimensions. Cost inefficiency undermines profitability (β₁ = -0.0847, p<0.01), while portfolio deterioration exerts negative consequences on earnings (β₂ = -0.2341, p<0.01). Reciprocal influences demonstrate that enhanced profitability drives cost efficiency gains (α₁ = -0.3156, p<0.01) and strengthens portfolio quality (γ₁ = -0.1823, p<0.05). Institutional scale and capital strength function as pivotal performance drivers, whereas macroeconomic forces exhibit differential impacts across analytical blocks. Research limitations/implications Our investigation concentrates on ten leading institutions, potentially constraining applicability to smaller market participants. Subsequent investigations might incorporate nonlinear specifications and expanded risk measurement frameworks. Practical implications Evidence suggests Islamic banking institutions must emphasize cost efficiency enhancement to establish sustainable earnings trajectories. Supervisory authorities need to recognize interconnected performance dynamics when constructing prudential oversight mechanisms for Islamic financial institutions. Originality/value This work enriches Islamic banking scholarship by deploying simultaneous equation techniques to capture intricate interdependencies infrequently examined in prior investigations, yielding thorough perspectives on Indonesian Islamic banking operational dynamics.

THE INFLUENCE OF JOB MARKET CONSIDERATIONS, CAREER PATH, FINANCIAL REWARDS, AND MOTIVATION ON ACCOUNTING STUDENTS’ CAREER CHOICE AS PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Resta Nur Imani — 2026-04-30

Despite the increasing demand for public accountants, the interest of accounting students in pursuing careers in this profession remains relatively low. This condition indicates that various factors may influence students’ career decisions in the accounting profession. This study aims to analyze the influence of job market considerations, career path, financial rewards, and motivation on accounting students’ career choice as public accountants. This study employed a quantitative approach using a saturated sampling technique, involving 40 students from the Accounting Study Program at Universitas Sains Indonesia from the 2021-2022 cohorts as respondents. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics version 27. The results showed that partially, career path, financial rewards, and motivation showed positive but insignificant effects on students’ career choice as public accountants. However, simultaneously, job market considerations, career path, financial rewards, and motivation significantly influenced accounting students’ career choice as public accountants, with a coefficient of determination of 87.7%. These findings highlight the importance of providing comprehensive job market information and strengthening career education strategies by higher education institutions and professional organizations to enhance students’ interest in the public accounting profession.

THE PERFORMANCE PARADOX: WHEN SUCCESS METRICS HIDE THE TRUTH ABOUT EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IN REGIONAL PLANNING AGENCIES

Munawaroh Munawaroh — 2026-04-04

This phenomenological study explores employee engagement dynamics and organizational performance at the Regional Development Planning, Research, and Innovation Agency (BAPPERIDA) of Cilegon City. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 informants, participatory observation, and document analysis. Thematic analysis revealed a performance paradox: despite satisfactory quantitative achievements (78.70% financial realization; 81.71% program indicators), employee engagement demonstrates severe hierarchical stratification. Officials and planners exhibited high vigor, dedication, and absorption, while administrative staff showed low engagement with limited performance understanding (83% did not comprehend SAKIP). Three factors enhanced engagement: holistic organizational support, participative leadership, and inclusive performance communication. Qualitative assessment revealed planning process deficiencies, weak cross-agency integration, and strategic misalignment. Findings indicate employee engagement mediates between formal performance systems and substantive outcomes. Implications include democratizing performance literacy and creating inclusive participation mechanisms across all hierarchical levels.

IMPACT OF INDOOR AIR COMPOUNDS ON PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING THE RELATION BETWEEN AIR COMPOUNDS AND COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE

Firla Elok Mashita — 2026-04-30

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is identified as a primary determinant of cognitive performance, psychological well-being, and academic success among students. A comprehensive systematic review of literature published between 2000 and 2026 evaluated the accumulation of anthropogenic and ambient-derived pollutants, including carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter (PM2.5/PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and carbon monoxide (CO). Evidence showed that educational environments characterized by high occupancy and inadequate ventilation frequently lead to elevated CO2 concentrations exceeding 1500 ppm, which are robustly associated with diminished executive functions. Analysis revealed that particulate matter significantly increases error rates in attention-intensive tasks, while subclinical CO exposure is linked to heightened psychological distress and emotional lability. Furthermore, high TVOC levels were found to reduce task precision by approximately 5%. The integration of strategic environmental interventions, such as high-efficiency filtration and optimized air exchange, effectively mitigates these risks and enhances standardized assessment scores. Standardized IAQ monitoring remains essential as a cost-effective strategy to improve students' learning trajectories and ensure long-term academic competitiveness in higher education admissions.

Maemunah Maemunah — 2026-04-30

Teacher performance is a key factor in determining the quality of education. However, it is influenced not only by individual competence but also by organisational factors, such as the work environment, organisational climate, and job satisfaction. This study aims to examine the effects of the work environment and organisational climate on job satisfaction and their implications for teacher performance in public elementary schools in Bojong Subdistrict, Pandeglang Regency. This research employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design. Data were collected via Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 100 teachers and analysed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that both the work environment and organisational climate have positive and significant effects on teachers' job satisfaction. Job satisfaction was found to be the most dominant factor influencing teacher performance and also functioned as a mediating variable linking organisational factors to performance. In addition, the work environment and organisational climate had direct, significant effects on teacher performance. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening organisational conditions in schools to improve teacher performance. This study contributes to the development of educational management research by providing an integrated model linking work environment, organisational climate, job satisfaction, and teacher performance.

THE INFLUENCE OF SCOUTING EDUCATION, ORGANISATIONAL EXPERIENCE, ON SKILLS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS ON SCOUT LEADER PERFORMANCE IN MENES DISTRICT, PANDEGLANG REGENCY

Yayah Sunariah — 2026-04-30

Scouting education is part of the national education system and plays a vital role in shaping students' character, skills, and personality through a systematic, continuous development process. Scouting not only functions as an extracurricular activity, but also as a non-formal educational vehicle that supports the national education goal of developing people who are faithful, moral, independent, and possess life skills. In this context, the quality of development is greatly influenced by the competence and performance of scout leaders. This study aims to analyse the influence of scouting education and organisational experience on skills and their implications for the performance of scout leaders in the Menes District, Pandeglang Regency. The study used a quantitative, explanatory design. Data were collected through questionnaires from 98 scout leaders who served as respondents using a saturated sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modelling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that scouting education and organisational experience had a positive, significant effect on scout leader skills. In addition, scouting education, organisational experience, and skills significantly affected scout leader performance. Skills have been shown to have the strongest influence on performance and to mediate the relationship between scouting education and organisational experience on scoutmaster performance. These findings indicate that improved scoutmaster performance is not solely determined by education and organisational experience, but also by strengthening skills relevant to the coaching task. Therefore, developing sustainable scouting education, increasing organisational involvement, and strengthening scoutmaster skills programs are important strategies to improve the quality of scouter training in educational units.

TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL COMMITMENT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EMPOWERMENT AND TRUST

Sabrina Dachmiati — 2026-04-30

Professional commitment is an essential aspect that teachers need to continuously develop in order to perform their roles effectively and maintain educational quality. However, several factors may influence the level of teachers’ professional commitment, particularly empowerment and trust. This study aimed to determine whether empowerment and trust have significant effects on teachers’ professional commitment. The research was conducted among public junior high school teachers in Bogor City. A total of 184 teachers were selected as respondents through a multistage random sampling technique, while the sample size was determined using the Slovin formula. Data regarding professional commitment, empowerment, and trust were collected using measurement scales that had previously passed validity and reliability testing. The research hypotheses were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The findings revealed that both empowerment and trust significantly influence teachers’ professional commitment. Therefore, strengthening these factors may enhance commitment. Further studies are recommended to explore specific indicators of empowerment and trust related to teachers’ professional commitment.

BUILDING TOMORROW'S LEADERS TODAY: Strategic Talent-Succession Fusion in Indonesian Provincial Governance

Munawaroh Munawaroh — 2026-04-30

This study investigates the strategic integration of talent management and succession planning in human resource management within Banten Provincial Government, Indonesia, specifically examining the Regional Personnel Agency's (BKD) role as the primary architect of civil service workforce development. Employing a qualitative methodology combining desk research and structured observation, this research unveils a critical yet underutilized framework that positions talent identification, development, and succession as interconnected strategic imperatives rather than isolated administrative functions. Findings reveal that while regulatory infrastructure supports integrated talent-succession systems, implementation gaps persist due to inadequate information systems, cultural resistance to merit-based advancement, budget constraints, and political interference in personnel decisions. Key enablers include leadership commitment, comprehensive personnel databases, and supportive regulations. The strategic fusion of these systems significantly enhances organizational performance, employee retention, competency development, and cost efficiency. This research contributes actionable insights for public sector modernization in developing nations navigating the complexities of bureaucratic reform in VUCA environments, offering a replicable model for sustainable leadership development in Indonesian provincial governance.
