This research looks at why freelance event crews think about leaving Maharagung Organizer by focusing on two things: the rewards they receive and the punishments they face in a project-based setup. The core issue is that crews feel dissatisfied when rewards are unclear or rarely given, while discipline rules can feel uneven, so the goal is to see whether these practices actually change how much people want to quit. The study uses a simple survey design and analyzes the results with a PLS model in SmartPLS after checking that the questions reliably measure reward, punishment, and turnover intention, and it includes everyone active and reachable during the data phase. The results point one way: fair, transparent rewards help people want to stay, while discipline does more to set standards than to keep people from leaving; taken together, that means rewards carry most of the weight for retention, and punishments mostly support order and safety. The bottom line for managers is to make rewards predictable, tied to performance, and clearly communicated, then keep discipline fair and consistent in the background so crews feel respected and choose to keep taking future event offers.

The motorcycle industry in Indonesia has experienced rapid development, particularly in the scooter segment, which dominates the market due to its convenience and efficiency. Despite this growth, Yamaha’s market share has shown fluctuations, indicating inconsistent consumer purchase intention. This study aims to analyze the effect of Word of Mouth (WOM), Brand Image, and Social Media Marketing (SMM) on purchase intention of Yamaha motorcycles in Denpasar City, using the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) as the underlying framework. The research employed a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 104 respondents. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results demonstrate that WOM, Brand Image, and SMM each have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention, with WOM emerging as the most dominant factor. The regression model indicates that these three variables jointly explain 77.2% of the variance in purchase intention, while the remaining 22.8% is explained by other factors not included in this study. The findings confirm that strengthening WOM, enhancing brand image, and optimizing social media strategies are essential to increase consumer purchase intention. This study contributes to both theoretical development and managerial practice in the field of consumer behavior and marketing strategy in the automotive industry.

Islamic economic instruments in the Indonesian economic system play an important role, such as waqf which can provide many benefits to society. Waqf instruments continue to innovate, where previously they were limited to land or buildings, now there are waqf instruments in the form of money. However, cash waqf is considered to be still not optimal because the potential of existing waqf is very far from the waqf that can be collected. This study aims to determine whether there is an influence of attitudes, subjective norms, performance expectations and social influences on intentions to endow money. The population of this study is the Muslim community in the city of Semarang. By taking a sample of 150 respondents by purposive non-random sampling. The data collection used a Googleform questionnaire, the data analysis method used SEM (Structural Equation Model) based on the SmartPLS 3.0 application. The results showed that the research model used was valid and reliable so that it was used properly. Based on the hypothesis test, the result is that attitude has a positive and significant direct effect on the intention of cash waqf. Subjective norms have a positive and not significant direct effect on cash waqf intentions. Performance Expectation has a positive and significant effect on cash waqf intentions. Social influence has a positive and insignificant effect on cash waqf intentions. The conclusion from this study is that the higher the attitude factor in a person which comes from beliefs in behaviour, the higher the intention of cash waqf, and the higher the performance expectation factor which comes from the level of confidence in obtaining profits in behaviour, the higher the intention of cash waqf. Likewise, subjective norm factors originating from social pressure have no influence on cash waqf intentions and social influence factors originating from social pressure in perceiving the use of the system have no influence on cash waqf intentions.

This study aims to analyze the influence of employer branding and digital capability on turnover intention, with employee engagement serving as a mediating variable, in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Central Java Province. The research design uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research method. The research sample consists of 205 SMEs employees selected using purposive sampling techniques with criteria of a minimum of six months of service and active use of digital technology in their work. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that employer branding has a positive effect on employee engagement and a negative effect on turnover intention. Digital capability has a positive effect on employee engagement, but its direct effect on turnover intention is not significant. Employee engagement was found to mediate the relationship between employer branding and turnover intention, as well as between digital capability and turnover intention. These findings reinforce the relevance of Social Exchange Theory and the Resource-Based View in the context of human resource management in the SME sector, while also providing practical implications that strengthening employer branding and enhancing employees' digital competencies can reduce turnover intention.

This study investigates how the perception of corporations acts as a mediator connecting employer branding with applicants’ intentions to apply for jobs from the Gen Z demographic in Indonesia’s private banking sector. While the broader context refers to the Indonesian private banking industry, the empirical support identified in this study was drawn from Semarang, involving 120 Generation Z respondents who were either final-year students or recent graduates residing in the city. A quantitative design was conducted through a survey approach with purposive sampling, and data were acquired through web-based questionnaires. The evaluation was carried out employing the PLS-SEM method with SmartPLS version 4. 0. The findings indicate that employer branding significantly influences both the reputation of the company and the likelihood of application in a positive manner. Additionally, a company's reputation is strongly and positively linked to the intention to apply, serving as a bridge between employer branding and the desire to seek employment opportunities. The study highlights that employer branding, when managed effectively, enhances Generation Z’s application intention, operating both as a direct driver and via the mediating influence of corporate reputation. Practically, this implies private banks in Indonesia particularly those operating in Semarang should concentrate on advancing employer branding practices while upholding a strong corporate reputation to draw and involve talented candidates from Generation Z. This study provides a contribution to the academic field by highlighting empirical evidence collected in Semarang reflect the interaction between employer branding and corporate reputation in influencing job application behavior of Generation Z within the private banking sector.

The return of state financial losses does not eliminate the criminal penalty for perpetrators of corruption. However, differences in the application of Restorative Justice in corruption cases have created legal uncertainty, especially in resolving corruption cases that involve relatively small state financial losses. This study aims to examine and analyze the implementation of Restorative Justice for perpetrators of corruption in the management of village funds, which are often caused by administrative errors, lack of understanding, or weak supervision rather than intentional acts of enrichment. This type of research is Doctrinal, using the statute approach, namely legal research that focuses on the application and interpretation of normative legal provisions (laws and regulations) as well as a theoretical concept approach to understand justice in a restorative framework. The resolution of village fund corruption cases with small losses should ideally prioritize recovery of losses and community restoration, but cannot eliminate the criminal aspect entirely, so clear legal guidelines are needed to ensure fairness and legal certainty.

Repurchase intention represents a tangible form of consumer satisfaction toward a product or service offered by a brand, which fosters a desire among consumers to make repeat purchases of the same brand. Several factors influence repurchase intention, including brand trust, brand image, and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM). The existence of repurchase intention has significant implications for various industries, particularly the food and beverage (F&B) sector. One of the most recognized F&B franchises in Indonesia is the international brand Pizza Hut. This study aims to analyze the influence of brand trust, brand image, and e-WOM on repurchase intention among consumers of the international Pizza Hut franchise in Denpasar City. The research was conducted on consumers of the international Pizza Hut franchise in Denpasar, with a total of 100 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through the distribution of offline questionnaires. The data analysis techniques employed in this study include multiple linear regression, as well as descriptive and inferential analyses using SPSS software. The findings indicate that brand trust, brand image, and e-WOM have a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the international Pizza Hut franchise consider the aspects of brand trust, brand image, and e-WOM as key strategies to enhance consumers’ repurchase intention.

The local cosmetics industry in Indonesia continues to grow rapidly and has become increasingly popular among Generation Z. However, the boycott issue against ESQA Cosmetics, triggered by a controversy involving one of its founders, has led to a decline in consumer trust. This study aims to examine the influence of social media marketing on purchase intention through brand trust in the case of ESQA Cosmetics. The research was conducted in Bali using a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected through an online questionnaire involving 110 Generation Z respondents who had never purchased ESQA products but had interacted with ESQA’s official social media account (@esqacosmetics). Data analysis was performed using SmartPLS with mediation testing to examine the relationships among variables. The results indicate that social media marketing has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention through brand trust, suggesting that the effectiveness of social media strategies can strengthen brand trust and ultimately increase consumer purchase intention. This finding highlights that brand trust serves as a key psychological mechanism linking social media marketing to purchase behavior. The study recommends that ESQA Cosmetics enhance interaction and transparency in its social media communication, provide prompt responses to consumers, and emphasize the authenticity and benefits of its products to rebuild trust and strengthen purchase intention following the boycott issue.

A will is a legal instrument that enables an individual to determine the distribution of their assets after death. One type recognized in the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata) is the closed will (testament olograph), written or signed confidentially by the testator and submitted to a notary before four witnesses. This form of will emphasizes secrecy and the protection of the testator’s final intentions, requiring a clear legal framework to ensure its validity and lawful execution. Within this framework, the Balai Harta Peninggalan, or Heritage Hall, functions as a state institution responsible for receiving, safeguarding, unsealing, and executing closed wills after the testator’s death. The institution’s role ensures that the process is orderly, transparent, and legally compliant. This study examines the procedural mechanism for administering closed wills by the Balai Harta Peninggalan, covering the stages from unsealing to execution in accordance with statutory provisions. Using a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, the research analyzes the Civil Code, implementing regulations, and legal literature. The findings show that the execution of closed wills under Balai Harta Peeninggalan’s authority is well regulated under Indonesian law and plays a key role in ensuring legal certainty and protecting heirs’ rights. However, administrative obstacles and low public awareness remain significant challenges.

This study aims to analyze the influence of product differentiation, social media promotion, and service quality on consumer purchase intention at Tea Break Sambi Kediri. The research employed an associative quantitative approach using a survey method with questionnaires distributed to 88 respondents selected through an accidental sampling technique. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS version 25. The results revealed that both partially and simultaneously, product differentiation, social media promotion, and service quality have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention. Social media promotion is the most dominant variable influencing consumer buying interest, followed by service quality and product differentiation. These findings highlight the importance of creative digital promotion strategies and high service quality in enhancing consumer attraction and loyalty. This research provides practical implications for business owners in designing digital-based marketing strategies and academic contributions to the development of consumer behavior and marketing strategy literature within modern beverage SMEs.

This study analyzes the partial and simultaneous influence of four factors—Publication (X_1), Access Convenience (X_2), Perceived Ease of Use (X_3), and Trust (X_4)—on the dependent variable, Intention to Use/Purchase (Y) Tiket.com for airline ticket purchases in Semarang City.1 Using an associative quantitative method, data were collected from 100 Tiket.com users (N=100) and analyzed via Multiple Linear Regression (SPSS 25.0).1 The analysis confirmed that all four independent variables positively and significantly influence the Intention to Use (all t_{hitung} > t_{tabel} 1.98498).1 The variable Perceived Ease of Use (X_3) was identified as the most dominant factor, showing the highest regression coefficient (\beta = 0.375), suggesting that the intuitive and effort-free experience of the application is the primary psychological driver for adoption among Semarang users.1, The overall model demonstrated a very strong explanatory capability, with an Adjusted R^2 of 0.792. This means 79.2\% of the variation in Intention to Use Tiket.com is jointly explained by these four variables, with 20.8\% attributed to factors outside the model.1 Managerial implications suggest prioritizing user experience design, clear information presentation, and maintaining transaction security to convert high interest into committed use.

This study explores key antecedents of turnover intention among employees in the warehouse industry, with a focus on workload, work stress, and job satisfaction. Conducted at CV. Sejati Pati, the research involved 102 respondents selected using a saturated sampling technique. The study applied a quantitative approach, using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed through multiple linear regression using IBM SPSS 27, including classical assumption tests such as normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. The results showed that workload and work stress have a positive and significant effect on turnover intention, while job satisfaction has a negative and significant effect. In contrast, compensation and work environment were found to be statistically insignificant. Simultaneously, all variables jointly contribute to explaining 64.9% of the variation in turnover intention. These findings underscore the critical role of managing job demands and psychological pressure while enhancing employee satisfaction to reduce the likelihood of resignation. The research provides empirical insights for human resource management in high-pressure sectors, particularly warehouses, where operational continuity and labor stability are crucial. It also offers practical implications for developing targeted strategies to improve employee retention and foster a more resilient workforce in logistics operations.

This study examines the views of community and traditional leaders on the practice of giving alms derived from unusual sources of income in Mojopuro Village. The tradition of giving alms in Mojopuro has strong cultural roots and social values, reflecting a blend of Islamic teachings and local wisdom. However, historically, almsgiving has sometimes come from less than halal sources, such as gambling proceeds, which were once considered commonplace due to limited religious understanding. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, using interviews with community and traditional leaders as key informants. The results show a significant shift in how the community interprets almsgiving. Religious leaders now emphasize the importance of halal sources of income and sincere intentions in giving, while traditional leaders emphasize social values such as mutual cooperation and caring for others. This transformation reflects a shift from traditional practices to a deeper religious understanding, without diminishing the values of togetherness that are characteristic of Mojopuro. Thus, the tradition of giving alms in Mojopuro is not only a form of worship but also a means of fostering morality and social solidarity that persists amidst changing times

The contemporary digital era has triggered the normalization of pornography and promiscuous sexual behavior, which significantly threatens the theological understanding and sacramental practice of Catholic marriage among young adults. This article aims to examine, from a theological-juridical perspective, how canons 1055–1101 of the Code of Canon Law (CIC) serve as the authoritative foundation for the Church in safeguarding the dignity and validity of the sacrament of marriage. The method employed is a comprehensive literature study of the CIC, relevant magisterial documents of the Church, and contemporary scholarly works on the dynamics of young adult relationships. The concise findings indicate that exposure to and normalization of pornography directly weaken three fundamental aspects of Catholic marriage, namely the capacity to give free consent, the intention to practice permanent fidelity, and the correct understanding of the body’s meaning as a total self-gift. Nevertheless, the Church possesses solid canonical and pastoral instruments to address these challenges and facilitate restoration. In conclusion, a synergistic integration of canonical approaches, moral teachings, and pastoral guidance is required to assist young adult couples so that they may realize marriages that are not only canonically valid but also psychologically mature and sacramentally holy.

This study investigates the mediating roles of brand trust and brand engagement in the relationship between social media marketing (SMM) and repurchase intention, using Coffee Shop Nyeduh Kopi in Tabanan as a case study. Grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model, this research explores how SMM, as an external stimulus, influences brand trust and brand engagement to drive repeat purchases. A quantitative approach was employed, collecting data through an online survey from 170 consumers of Coffee Shop Nyeduh Kopi. Data analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS via SmartPLS 3.0.  Results confirm that SMM positively and significantly influences repurchase intention, brand trust, and brand engagement. Furthermore, both brand trust and brand engagement directly and positively affect repurchase intention. Crucially, brand trust and brand engagement were found to partially mediate the relationship between SMM and repurchase intention. These findings highlight the importance of cultivating brand trust and engagement through SMM to foster customer loyalty and repeat purchases. 

Student mental health is an important issue in higher education, yet many students remain reluctant to utilize counseling services. Several factors are suspected to influence students’ willingness to participate in counseling, including stress levels, social support, public stigma, and self-stigma. This study aimed to determine the relationship between stress level, social support, public stigma, and self-stigma with students’ intention to engage in mental health counseling. The research used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 202 first-year nursing students from Campus I of Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang were selected using a total sampling technique. The research instrument was a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, and data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test. The results showed that most students had a moderate level of stress (52.8%), adequate social support (58.1%), moderate public stigma (53.7%), and moderate self-stigma (55.3%). Students’ willingness to seek counseling was also in the moderate category (63.4%). Statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between stress level (p=0.000), social support (p=0.002), public stigma (p=0.000), and self-stigma (p=0.000) with the intention to engage in mental health counseling. These findings highlight the importance of promotive and preventive approaches from educational institutions to enhance students’ awareness and access to mental health counseling services.

This study examines the strategic role of job satisfaction in shaping organizational commitment in the context of companies by synthesizing empirical evidence published between 2016 and 2025. Although it has been extensively researched, findings related to the consistency and determinants of the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment are still scattered and have not been integrated, thus requiring comprehensive mapping. Therefore, this study aims to identify empirical patterns, conceptual issues, and theoretical foundations that explain how job satisfaction contributes to the formation of organizational commitment. Using the PRISMA based Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, 35 articles were selected through the stages of identification, screening, quality assessment, and thematic synthesis. The review results show that job satisfaction is consistently a major predictor of organizational commitment in various corporate sectors. These findings are consistent with theories such as Social Exchange Theory, Equity Theory, Herzberg's Two Factor Theory, and Job Demands Resources Model, which explain the cognitive and affective mechanisms of commitment formation. In addition, variables such as work environment, job involvement, work life balance, internal CSR, and HR practices were identified as mediators or moderators that strengthen this relationship. This study concludes that increasing job satisfaction is an important strategy for strengthening commitment, reducing turnover intentions, and improving organizational performance. This review contributes to an integrative understanding of empirical developments and theoretical perspectives, and provides recommendations for future research to expand the data base and consider cross-cultural dynamics in organizations.

This study explores the intellectual and thematic evolution of green sukuk research within Islamic sustainable finance from 2015 to 2025. Using a hybrid methodological design that integrates the PRISMA-guided Systematic Literature Review with Watase Uake network analysis, the study identifies 17 core Scopus-indexed articles that collectively define the field’s conceptual and empirical development. Results reveal a three-phase evolution: (1) a formative stage emphasizing ethical legitimacy and Sharia compliance; (2) a transitional phase integrating pricing efficiency, market risk, and policy frameworks; and (3) a maturity phase characterized by econometric modeling, behavioral-finance integration, and sustainability governance. Thematic clusters extracted from bibliometric mapping include financial performance and market dynamics, institutional legitimacy and policy frameworks, behavioral intention and investor psychology, and technological innovation and ESG disclosure. Despite methodological advancement, the literature remains geographically concentrated in Malaysia and Indonesia and exhibits theoretical fragmentation across behavioral, financial, and institutional models. Findings highlight key research gaps involving contradictory evidence on yield–risk relationships, inconsistent behavioral determinants of investment intention, and insufficient integration of moderating or mediating mechanisms. The study advances theoretical pluralism by connecting the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Institutional and Legitimacy Theory, and Resource-Based View (RBV) into an integrated model explaining how legitimacy, behavior, and strategic capability jointly drive green sukuk adoption. Policy implications emphasize the need for harmonized regulation, behavioral incentives, and digital transparency to strengthen credibility and accelerate sustainable-finance transformation in line with SDGs 7 and 13.
