This study aims to analyze the effect of education level on the quality of financial statements based on SAK EMKM, with accounting information systems as a moderating variable, focusing on coffee shop micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Kediri City, Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed using primary data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 32 business owners or financial managers selected by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with SPSS software.The results indicate that education level has a positive and significant effect on the quality of financial statements, suggesting that higher educational attainment enhances accounting understanding and compliance with SAK EMKM. However, accounting information systems were found to weaken this relationship, indicating that system complexity, limited digital literacy, and insufficient technical training may reduce the effectiveness of education in improving financial reporting quality. These findings highlight that improving financial reporting quality among MSMEs requires not only higher educational capacity but also appropriate technological support and continuous technical assistance. This study contributes to the accounting literature by emphasizing the contextual role of accounting information systems in shaping the relationship between human capital and financial reporting quality in MSMEs.

This study aims to analyze the effect of work discipline, work environment, and effective communication on employee loyalty at PT. Sentong Sultan Keraton Majapahit in Kediri City. This research uses a quantitative associative approach with a survey method. The population consists of 35 employees, all of whom were selected as samples using the total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 25. The results show that work discipline and work environment have a positive and significant effect on employee loyalty, while effective communication has a positive but not significant effect. Simultaneously, all three independent variables significantly influence employee loyalty, with a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.779, indicating that 77.9% of loyalty variation is explained by these factors. Therefore, this study concludes that consistent implementation of work discipline and the creation of a conducive work environment are key determinants of employee loyalty, while effective communication should be strengthened to optimize its role in maintaining harmonious workplace relationships.

This study aims to analyze the influence of emotional intelligence, work discipline, and job commitment on employee productivity at DP3AP2KB Kota Kediri. The research employed a quantitative approach with a population of 45 employees, all of whom were included as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. The research instrument was a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS version 25, preceded by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity). The results indicate that emotional intelligence has a significant partial effect on employee productivity, while work discipline and job commitment show no significant effect. However, simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect productivity with an Adjusted R² value of 0.846. These findings highlight that emotional intelligence is the dominant factor influencing productivity, whereas work discipline and job commitment function more as basic requirements already embedded within bureaucratic systems. The practical implication of this study suggests the need for soft skill development programs, emotional management training, and the improvement of employees’ interpersonal skills to enhance productivity in the public sector.

This study aims to analyze the effect of member card usage on customer satisfaction at Bolly Department Store in Bima City. The research applied a quantitative approach with a survey method, where data were collected through questionnaires from 96 respondents selected using purposive sampling, specifically customers who owned a member card. The research instrument was tested using validity and reliability tests to ensure accuracy and consistency. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression, correlation coefficient, coefficient of determination, and t-test with the assistance of SPSS software. The findings indicate that the member card variable has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction. This is evidenced by the t-test result, where the t-value (1.894) exceeded the t-table value (1.661). However, the coefficient of determination (R²) was only 0.029, meaning that the member card explains merely 2.9% of the variation in customer satisfaction, while 97.1% is influenced by other factors. Therefore, although the member card improves customer satisfaction, its contribution is relatively small, suggesting that additional and more comprehensive marketing strategies are needed.

The research findings indicate that, on a partial basis, only the Work-Life Balance variable has a significant effect on employee performance, with a significance value of 0.029 and a t-value of 2.311. In contrast, the Physical Work Environment and Interpersonal Communication variables show no significant impact, with significance values of 0.774 (t-value -0.290) and 0.217 (t-value 1.264), respectively. Simultaneously, the three variables do not exhibit a significant influence on performance, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.056 on an F-value of 2.845. The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R²) of 0.240 suggests that the model explains only 24% of the variability in employee performance. These results imply that employee performance at PT Daihatsu Jolo Abadi is more strongly influenced by work-life balance than by the physical work environment or social interactions in the workplace. Therefore, strengthening work-life balance should be a strategic priority for enhancing performance, alongside exploring other relevant variables for future studies.

MSMEs play a key role in the national economy, especially in increasing economic growth and creating new jobs. However, in the digital era, MSMEs face major problems, such as low levels of digital literacy, limited access to the internet, and fierce competition with large companies that have used technology before. This study examines the variables that influence the sustainability of MSMEs amidst digital challenges and finds methods that can be used so that MSMEs can survive and grow. The research method was carried out through surveys and direct interviews with MSME actors at Pasar Pagi Setia Budi, Medan, North Sumatra. The results of the study showed that most MSME actors did not utilize digital platforms for marketing and transactions, which resulted in decreased income. To increase competitiveness, MSMEs need to improve their digital knowledge, adopt online marketing strategies, and optimize the use of e-commerce and social media. Support from the government, financial institutions, and technology companies is also very important. In the increasingly competitive digital era, by implementing the right digitalization strategy, MSMEs can improve operational efficiency, expand market reach, and maintain the sustainability of their business.
