This study empirically investigates how the degree of transparency in sustainability reporting influences earnings management practices among listed companies in Indonesia's energy sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, covering the period from 2021 to 2024. Grounded in three theoretical perspectives Agency Theory, Stakeholder Theory, and Legitimacy Theory this study argues that when companies disclose their sustainability information more comprehensively, management's capacity to manipulate reported earnings becomes increasingly constrained, owing to reduced information asymmetry and heightened external scrutiny. The independent variable is measured through the Sustainability Reporting Disclosure Index (SRDI), constructed based on the GRI Standards 2021, while earnings management is proxied by the absolute value of discretionary accruals derived from the Modified Jones Model. Firm size and leverage are incorporated as control variables. Using purposive sampling, 32 companies were selected, generating a total of 128 observations. The data were analysed through panel data regression employing a Random Effects Model with White's cross-section robust standard errors. The results reveal that sustainability reporting transparency does not exert a statistically significant effect on earnings management. This finding suggests that, within Indonesia's energy sector, sustainability reporting tends to function more as a legitimacy-seeking tool rather than a genuine expression of corporate transparency. Firm size was found to have a significant negative effect on earnings management, whereas leverage did not demonstrate a meaningful influence. This study contributes to the growing body of literature examining the relationship between sustainability reporting and earnings management, with particular relevance to the energy sector in the Indonesian context.

This study examines the predictive influence of religious habituation and teacher role modeling on students’ emotional intelligence in an Islamic elementary school context. A quantitative approach with an ex post facto design was employed, involving 78 students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that religious habituation has a positive and significant effect on students’ emotional intelligence, while teacher role modeling demonstrates a relatively stronger contribution. Simultaneously, both variables significantly predict emotional intelligence, explaining 74.9% of its variance. These results suggest that students’ socio-emotional development is shaped by the integration of structured religious practices and pedagogical modeling within the school environment. The study contributes to the ecological-religious perspective on character education by emphasizing the importance of consistent spiritual habituation and teachers’ personal competence in fostering emotional regulation and social skills. Practically, Islamic elementary schools are encouraged to strengthen religious culture programs and support teachers’ emotional and moral development to enhance students’ emotional intelligence.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing global health concern that significantly affects patients’ quality of life. At Bhakti Asih General Hospital, Tangerang, the number of hemodialysis patients increased by 20.42% and dialysis procedures by 25.06% between 2023 and 2024. Despite this service expansion, preliminary findings revealed that 32% of patients reported poor quality of life, 31% experienced low engagement in care, 34% demonstrated low self-efficacy particularly in dietary and fluid management and 32% faced accessibility barriers. These findings indicate a gap between increased service volume and patient-centered outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the effects of patient engagement and self-efficacy on the quality of life of hemodialysis patients, with healthcare accessibility as a mediating variable. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed. Active hemodialysis patients were selected using purposive sampling.

Accessibility also significantly influenced quality of life and strengthened the relationships between patient engagement, self-efficacy, and quality of life.These findings highlight the importance of integrating patient engagement strategies, strengthening self-efficacy through education, and improving service accessibility to enhance quality of life among hemodialysis patients

This research intends to examine how the environment of a store impActs the likelihood of customers returning, specifically focusing on the experiences of patrons at Baso Malang Fortuna. The motivation behind this study stems from varying sales outcomes combined with a low propensity for consumers to come back. A quantitative research design was utilized involving survey techniques. Data was gathered by administering questionnaires to shoppers, employing a non-probability sampling approach. The analysis of the data was performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate both direct and indirect influences among the studied variables. The findings reveal that the store's atmosphere significantly and positively affects customer experience, that the store's atmosphere has a substantial positive influence on the desire to return, and that customer experience also positively and significantly influences the intention to revisit. In addition, customer experience effectively mediates the relationship between the store atmosphere and the intention to return. These results validate that an optimally maintained store atmosphere fosters enjoyable customer experiences, which in turn boosts consumers' desire to return.

In response to the evolving landscape of public healthcare services, hospitals are expected not only to maintain operational efficiency but also to adapt to the shifting needs and expectations of patients as healthcare consumers. The presence of non-BPJS patients in regional public hospitals plays a strategic role not only contributing to revenue diversification but also reflecting service quality, institutional competitiveness, and shaping public perception. The declining trend in outpatient visits by general patients at RSUD Balaraja over the past three years highlights the need to understand the factors influencing consumer behavior in determining revisit intentions. This study examines the effect of co-creation and hospital image on the revisit intention of outpatient general patients at RSUD Balaraja, with patient experience as a mediating variable. The research employed a quantitative explanatory design involving 278 outpatient general patients selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that patient experience plays a significant mediating role in shaping revisit intention among general outpatients at RSUD Balaraja. These findings confirm that patient experience serves as a central factor in post-service evaluation processes, which ultimately drive patients’ intention to return. Therefore, hospitals need to enhance patient involvement in service processes (co-creation), improve public perception of institutional image (hospital image), and develop patient-centered service systems as a key strategy to increase revisit intention among general outpatients.

This study aims to analyze the influence of manager competence, financial technology, and internal control systems on MSME financial performance, both directly and indirectly through Sharia financial literacy as a mediating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with an exploratory design. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 400 MSMEs in Semarang City selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS. The results show that manager competence and financial technology have a positive and significant influence on MSME financial performance, while internal control systems do not have a significant direct influence. Manager competence, financial technology, and internal control systems are proven to have a positive and significant influence on Islamic financial literacy. Furthermore, Sharia financial literacy has a positive and significant influence on MSME financial performance and is able to mediate the influence of manager competence, financial technology, and internal control systems on MSME financial performance. These findings confirm that Sharia financial literacy is a strategic capability that plays a role in transforming an organization's internal resources into improved financial performance. This research contributes to the development of the Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capability theories and offers a model for improving the financial performance of MSMEs based on Islamic financial literacy.

This study aims to analyze the influence of sustainability reporting, good corporate governance (GCG), and company size on the value of companies with financial performance as a mediating variable in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research approach uses quantitative methods with causality design, as well as secondary data in the form of financial statements and sustainability reports. The research sample consisted of 60 observations obtained through purposive sampling techniques. The analysis was carried out by descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and mediation tests using the Sobel Test. The results of the study show that sustainability reporting, GCG, and company size have a positive and significant effect on financial performance. Furthermore, financial performance has been proven to have a positive effect on the company's value. In the full model, all independent variables together with financial performance have a significant effect on the company's value. The mediation test confirmed that financial performance partially mediated the relationship between sustainability reporting, GCG, and company size to the company's value. These findings confirm that improving the quality of sustainability reporting, implementing good governance, and optimizing company size can increase company value both directly and through financial performance. The implication of this research is the need for energy sector companies to strengthen transparency, governance, and efficiency of asset management to increase attractiveness in the eyes of investors.

Political participation is a key indicator of local democratic quality. However, participation levels are shaped not only by structural factors but also by the configuration of social and psychological determinants underlying voting behavior. This study examines the configuration of social and psychological factors in political participation in Bangko District during the 2024 Merangin local election. A qualitative case study approach was employed. Informants were obtained using snowball sampling, including voters, community leaders, local election organizers, and campaign teams. Data were collected through in‑depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that participation is shaped by three key social factors family influence, neighborhood networks, and proximity to local political actors and three psychological factors political trust, perceived vote efficacy, and pragmatic motivation. The interaction of these dimensions produces a rational‑communal participation pattern, in which voting decisions are influenced by both benefit considerations and social pressure. These findings highlight that local political participation emerges from the interplay between social structure and individual psychological orientation. The study contributes to the literature on voting behavior in Indonesian local politics.

The rapid growth of TikTok Shop as a social commerce platform has led to the emergence of 'toxic content' produced by influencers as a marketing tactic that effectively influences Generation Z's shopping behavior. This study investigates the role of TikTok Shop influencers and their 'toxic content' in stimulating impulse buying behavior among Generation Z consumers in the fast fashion sector, focusing on the psychological mechanisms involved, the most frequently purchased product categories, and the broader impacts of these consumption patterns. A qualitative research approach with a phenomenological design was used, and data were gathered through in-depth interviews with eight informants: six Generation Z consumers aged 19–24 years and two active TikTok Shop fashion influencers, selected via purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014). Findings show that 'toxic content' acts as a stimulus within the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theoretical framework, triggering impulse buying within minutes by evoking positive emotions and urgency. The Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) mechanism, driven by emotional triggers like time scarcity, social proof, and exclusivity, was the most dominant psychological factor. The most commonly purchased items were tops, coordinated sets, aesthetic bottoms, locally-made footwear, and accessories. The effects of 'toxic content' are financial, psychological, social, and environmental. This study advances influencer marketing literature and provides insights into Generation Z’s consumer behavior in the social commerce age.

The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) has become an important element in improving healthcare service quality, efficiency, and patient safety in hospitals. However, the benefits of EMR depend not only on system availability but also on the quality of the information provided and how actively the system is used by healthcare professionals. This study aims to analyze the influence of electronic medical record content and perceived ease of use on the net benefits of EMR, with actual system use acting as an intervening variable. The research applied a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design conducted at RSM Hospital. The population consisted of all general practitioners and specialist doctors working at the hospital, totaling 51 respondents, and the study used a total sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires measured using a Likert scale and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The results show that EMR content and perceived ease of use significantly influence the net benefits of EMR. Both variables also significantly affect the actual use of the system, while actual use significantly influences the benefits obtained. Furthermore, actual use mediates the relationship between EMR content, ease of use, and net benefits, indicating that better information quality and usability can encourage greater system utilization and maximize the advantages of EMR implementation.

This study focuses on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Central Jakarta, which play an important role in the national economy, particularly through their contribution to state revenue from the taxation sector. The purpose of this study is to examine how taxpayers’ knowledge and compliance with tax regulations influence tax revenue generated from the MSME sector. The distribution of questionnaires to MSME taxpayers was used as the main instrument to collect research data through a quantitative approach. A total of 164 respondents were selected using a purposive sampling method by considering specific criteria relevant to the research objectives. To evaluate and analyze the collected data, this study employed SmartPLS software using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results indicate that tax revenue from MSMEs is positively and significantly influenced by taxpayer compliance in fulfilling their tax obligations. Furthermore, there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between the level of tax knowledge and the increase in tax revenue. These findings highlight the importance of improving taxpayers’ understanding and compliance as an effort to enhance tax revenue from the MSME sector. This study is expected to provide practical contributions to the Directorate General of Taxes in formulating more effective policies to improve compliance and optimize tax revenue from MSME taxpayers.

This research benchmarks multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms for large-scale loan default prediction using a real-world dataset of 255,000 borrower records, where default cases represent only ~9–12% of total observations. The study addresses the persistent gap in comparative analyses of ML models that balance predictive accuracy, interpretability, and computational efficiency for credit risk assessment. Six algorithmic families were evaluated Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Stacked Ensemble—using standardized preprocessing, hybrid imbalance handling (SMOTE, class weighting, under-sampling), and comprehensive evaluation metrics (AUC, F1, Recall, Precision, PR-AUC, and Brier Score). Empirical results show Logistic Regression achieved the highest AUC of 0.732, outperforming nonlinear models under the baseline configuration, while LightGBM attained perfect recall (1.0) but low precision (0.116), indicating over-prediction of defaults. Gradient boosting models demonstrated robust calibration (Brier ≈ 0.114–0.116) and the best computational efficiency, with LightGBM showing the fastest training and lowest memory use. CatBoost exhibited strong recall but the slowest computation, and ANN underperformed on tabular data (AUC ≈ 0.56). The Stacked Ensemble delivered balanced results with AUC = 0.664 and improved overall stability. These findings confirm that boosting-based models, particularly LightGBM and CatBoost, offer superior scalability and calibration, whereas Logistic Regression remains a valuable interpretable baseline. The study concludes that effective default prediction requires integrating rebalancing, calibration, and threshold optimization to enhance recall and operational deployment reliability in large-scale credit ecosystems.

This study examines how the transition from manual to digital services influences user satisfaction through digital service quality and user perception at the Marine and Fisheries Office of Pekalongan Regency. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining a quantitative survey (N = 40) using Pearson correlation analysis with qualitative interviews involving service leaders and operators. The results reveal very strong correlations between service quality, user perception, and user satisfaction, as well as the critical role of system stability and operator assistance in shaping user experience. Qualitative findings confirm that changes in work culture, leadership, and human resource adaptation are key factors in the success of digitalisation. The study implies that the success of digital public services is determined not only by technology but also by strengthening human resource capacity, simplifying service design, and providing operator support for users with low digital literacy. The limitations of this study include the small sample size, the single organisational context, and reliance on perception-based data. Future research is recommended to conduct comparative cross-agency studies, longitudinal approaches, and structural model testing to examine the mediating roles of digital literacy and operator assistance.  

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Financial Risk, dan Capital terhadap Opini Audit, dengan Earning sebagai variabel intervening dan Reputasi Kantor Akuntan Publik (KAP) sebagai variabel moderasi, pada perusahaan perbankan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) periode 2020–2024. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif kausal dengan data panel dari 15 bank yang dipilih secara purposive sampling, sehingga diperoleh 75 observasi bank-tahun. GCG diproksikan dengan jumlah Dewan Direksi dan Komite Audit; Financial Risk diproksikan dengan Non-Performing Loan (NPL) dan Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR); Capital diproksikan dengan Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) dan Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR); Earning diproksikan dengan Return on Assets (ROA) dan Return on Equity (ROE); dan Opini Audit diukur dengan skor 1–5 berdasarkan jumlah catatan tambahan auditor. Data dianalisis menggunakan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) berbantuan SmartPLS dengan konstruk formatif dan prosedur bootstrapping 5.000 resample. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Financial Risk dan Capital berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap Earning, sedangkan GCG tidak berpengaruh signifikan. GCG dan Capital berpengaruh signifikan meskipun dengan arah negatif terhadap Opini Audit, sementara Financial Risk dan Earning tidak berpengaruh signifikan. Earning tidak terbukti memediasi pengaruh variabel eksogen terhadap Opini Audit, dan Reputasi KAP tidak terbukti memoderasi hubungan Earning-Opini Audit, meskipun berpengaruh positif secara langsung terhadap Opini Audit. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa pada industri perbankan yang sangat teregulasi, opini audit lebih ditentukan oleh kewajaran penyajian laporan keuangan dan kredibilitas auditor dibandingkan kinerja profitabilitas semata.
