This study aims to assess extent to which leadership, communication, and competence influence employee performance at Point Coffee Medan. The research was motivated by field findings that indicated a decline in work quality, such as delays in task completion, miscommunication among employees, and a lack of capability in carrying out tasks effectively. These issues highlight the need for improvements in human resource aspects, particularly in leadership style, communication effectiveness, and employee competence. A quantitative research method with a descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 38 employees of Point Coffee Medan. The research instruments were tested for validity and reliability, and the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The goal of the study was to determine both the partial and simultaneous effects of the three independent variables on employee performance. The analysis results indicate that leadership, communication, and competence have a positive and significant impact on performance, both individually and collectively. Effective leadership helps guide and motivate employees in completing their tasks. Clear and open communication fosters collaboration and a harmonious work environment. Meanwhile, strong competence enables employees to work more efficiently, accurately, and productively.

This study aims to evaluate the financial recording system implemented by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the culinary sector, and analyze its impact on business performance. MSMEs are a very dynamic sector and contribute significantly to the national economy, but many of them do not yet have an adequate financial recording system. Good financial recording is key in business decision making, budget planning, and profitability assessment. The population in this study were 370 culinary MSMEs in Harjosari I Village. The research sample was taken at 20%, namely 74 respondents. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method through the distribution of questionnaires to 74 culinary MSMEs in Harjosari I Village, Medan Amplas. Data analysis was carried out using simple linear regression to see the relationship between the quality of the financial recording system as an independent variable and business performance as a dependent variable. The results showed that the better the financial recording system, the better the business performance, this can be shown by the regression equation, Y = 1.395 + 0.308 + e. The research results indicate that improving accounting literacy and the use of digital technologies, such as MSME bookkeeping applications, are essential. The involvement of local governments and financial institutions is crucial in educating and facilitating digital-based bookkeeping systems for culinary MSMEs to enhance their competitiveness and business sustainability.

This study investigates the impact of liquidity and profitability on firm value at PT Nippon Indosari Corpindo Tbk over the 2017–2024 period. Liquidity is measured using the Current Ratio, while profitability is represented by Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Firm value is proxied by the Price to Book Value (PBV). A multiple linear regression model is employed, complemented by univariate and bivariate analyses to mitigate potential multicollinearity between ROA and ROE. The findings reveal that neither the Current Ratio nor ROA significantly affects PBV, with an R-squared value of 0.175 and an F-statistic of 0.5315 (p = 0.618). An alternative model incorporating ROE yields similar results. While the model satisfies the assumptions of residual normality (Jarque-Bera p = 0.654) and shows no indication of significant autocorrelation (Durbin-Watson = 1.458), its explanatory power remains limited. These results suggest that external factors—such as market sentiment and long-term growth expectations—may have a more substantial influence on firm value than internal financial indicators.

This study aims to: (1) determine the influence of teacher Self Efficacy on students’ learning motivation in Economics Social Studies; (2) determine the influence of teachers’ teaching creativity on students’ learning motivation; (3) determine the influence of teacher attitudes on students’ learning motivation; (4) analyze the simultaneous influence of teacher Self Efficacy, teaching creativity, and teacher attitudes on students’ learning motivation; and (5) identify the most dominant variable affecting students’ learning motivation at SMP Negeri 9 Marusu, Maros Regency.

The sample consisted of 155 students selected through proportional random sampling. The research instrument was a Likert-scale questionnaire that had passed validity and reliability testing. Data were analyzed using classical assumption tests and multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS. The results of the study indicate that: (1) teacher Self Efficacy has a significant partial effect on students’ learning motivation (t = 3.606, Sig. = 0.000), but becomes insignificant in the simultaneous model (t = –0.531, Sig. = 0.596); (2) teaching creativity has a positive and significant partial effect (t = 5.852, Sig. = 0.000); (3) teacher attitudes have a positive and significant effect (t = 8.008, Sig. = 0.000) and are the most dominant variable, as shown by the highest regression coefficient (B = 1.456; Beta = 0.916); (4) simultaneously, teacher Self Efficacy, teaching creativity, and teacher attitudes significantly influence students’ learning motivation (F = 38.854, Sig. = 0.000); and (5) teacher attitudes are the most dominant predictor, as indicated by B = 1.456 and Beta = 0.916. This means that the more positive the teacher's attitude, the higher the students' learning motivation.

This study aims to analyze the influence of digital transformation and work environment on employee performance at the Energy and Mineral Resources Office of East Kalimantan Province. Digital transformation is a crucial element in promoting bureaucratic efficiency and public service quality, while a conducive work environment plays a vital role in enhancing employee motivation and productivity. A quantitative approach was applied using a survey method with a census of 68 employees. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 22. The results show that both digital transformation (t = 4.401; sig. = 0.000) and work environment (t = 2.126; sig. = 0.037) have a positive and significant partial effect on employee performance. Simultaneously, the variables also have a significant influence (F = 114.254; sig. = 0.000). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.780) indicates that 78% of the variation in employee performance is explained by these two factors. These findings emphasize the importance of implementing effective digital systems and creating a supportive work environment to optimize bureaucratic performance in the public sector

This study examines the influence of financial factors on the capital structure of basic chemical manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. The sample selection method used is purposive sampling, with specific criteria resulting in a sample of 51 companies and a total of 255 data points. After data processing, 80 outliers were identified, reducing the final sample to 175 company data points. This research adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS version 25. The findings reveal that profitability, asset structure, company size, and business risk have a significant impact on capital structure. In contrast, sales growth and dividend policy do not show a significant contribution to capital structure. Based on these findings, it is recommended that companies in the basic chemical manufacturing sector focus on improving profitability, optimizing asset structure, and managing business risks effectively to strengthen their capital structure. Additionally, company size should be considered when making financing decisions. Since sales growth and dividend policy were not significant factors, firms might prioritize internal financial management and risk control over aggressive sales expansion or dividend adjustments when aiming to optimize their capital structure. Future research could explore other potential factors or use alternative methodologies to deepen understanding in this area.
