Changes in working-hour policies can bring both positive and negative impacts to an organization. At a private university, the implementation of such a policy has generated noticeable reactions among employees, particularly administrative staff who are directly affected by daily operational regulations. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the revised working-hour policy, specifically how it is understood, practiced, and accepted by administrative personnel. In addition, the study examines the relationship between employees’ acceptance of the policy and Barnard’s theory of acceptance of authority, which emphasizes four conditions that must be met for individuals to willingly comply with directives or regulations. The results show that violations of the working-hour policy fall into the low category at 64%, medium at 24%, and high at only 12%. These findings indicate that the majority of administrative staff still attempt to comply with the policy despite adjustments that may be perceived as burdensome. Among the four conditions supporting compliance according to Barnard, the belief that the policy does not conflict with personal goals was found to have a significant relationship with the level of violation, with a correlation coefficient of 0.304 and a significance value of 0.032. This suggests that the greater the alignment between the policy and individual goals, the lower the likelihood of violation. Future studies are needed to convert violation rates into compliance measures so that the direction of the correlation can be interpreted more accurately.

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.

This study aims to examine the effect of Leverage and capital intensity on tax avoidance with independent commissioners as a moderating variable in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Tax avoidance practices in this sector are considered relatively high due to the complexity of fixed asset management and financing structures. The study applies a quantitative approach with an associative method and purposive sampling, resulting in 21 companies as the final sample with a total of 105 observations during the 2020–2024 period. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with SPSS version 25. The results show that leverage has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, indicating that a higher level of debt usage increases the likelihood of tax avoidance through interest expenses. Capital intensity also has a positive and significant effect on tax avoidance, as higher investment in fixed assets provides opportunities for firms to utilize depreciation expenses in reducing taxable income. The moderating test reveals that independent commissioners do not moderate the relationship between leverage and tax avoidance but significantly moderate the relationship between capital intensity and tax avoidance in a negative direction, thereby weakening the effect. These findings highlight the importance of corporate governance mechanisms through the presence of independent commissioners in mitigating tax avoidance, although their effectiveness remains limited to specific aspects. This study contributes empirically to the taxation and corporate governance literature and provides recommendations for regulators and tax authorities in strengthening tax compliance monitoring in the property sector.

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.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition of severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that can cause serious physical and psychological effects on pregnant women. In addition to biological and hormonal factors, psychological aspects such as anxiety are thought to play an important role in the occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of anxiety in pregnant women and the occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum. The study uses a quantitative approach with an analytical observational design through a cross-sectional method. The study sample consisted of 30 pregnant women in their first trimester who were selected using purposive sampling. Anxiety levels were measured using a standardized anxiety questionnaire and categorized as moderate and severe anxiety, while the incidence of hyperemesis gravidarum was determined based on complaints of excessive nausea and vomiting and clinical data. Data analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the Goodman–Kruskal tau test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents experienced moderate to severe anxiety, and some respondents experienced hyperemesis gravidarum. Bivariate analysis showed a significant and very strong relationship between anxiety levels and the incidence of hyperemesis gravidarum. These findings indicate that the higher the anxiety level of pregnant women, the greater the likelihood of hyperemesis gravidarum. The conclusion of this study confirms that anxiety is an important psychological factor associated with the occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum. Therefore, the integration of anxiety screening and management into antenatal care is essential as part of a comprehensive, mother-centered approach to pregnancy care

A crane is a mechanical device used to move loads from one location to another, with gantry cranes being one of the most commonly used types in the industrial sector, particularly at container terminals. While offering numerous benefits, the use of gantry cranes also presents several risks, such as potential structural failure of the crane, falling loads due to damage to hooks or ropes, and collisions with other objects. Additionally, lifting loads beyond the crane’s capacity can lead to equipment damage and even fatal accidents caused by electric shocks or adverse weather conditions like strong winds and rain. This study aims to identify and minimize workplace accident risks by applying the SWIFT (Structured What-If Technique) method. This method identifies hazards through the "what if" approach and evaluates risks using the Risk Rating Number (RRN), which measures the severity and likelihood of potential hazards. The results of this study show that ARTG and STS gantry cranes have 25% of hazards in the priority one category, while RTG has 20% of hazards in the same priority. From these findings, it can be concluded that risk mitigation should be focused on the ARTG and STS types, which show higher risk proportions. The recommendations from this study are to enhance safety procedures, provide continuous training for operators, and conduct regular crane maintenance to reduce the potential for accidents. By implementing these mitigation measures, it is hoped that workplace safety will be maintained and the risk of workplace accidents at the Semarang Container Terminal can be minimized.

Fraud is an unlawful act characterized by intentional misconduct, malicious intent, manipulation, concealment, and abuse of trust, deliberately committed by individuals or groups to gain personal benefits. Financial statement fraud can result from various factors such as weak internal control systems, financial pressures, and organizational culture. This study focuses on understanding the factors influencing the occurrence of financial statement fraud in rural banks (BPR) in Denpasar City. A total of 204 respondents from 22 BPRs were selected using purposive sampling. The study reveals that internal control systems do not have a significant effect on the tendency to commit financial statement fraud. However, financial pressure was found to have a positive and significant impact on the likelihood of financial statement fraud, suggesting that employees or management under financial strain may resort to fraudulent activities. On the other hand, organizational culture, characterized by ethical practices and strong values, showed a negative and significant effect, indicating that a strong ethical culture helps reduce fraudulent behavior in BPR

Burnout is a psychological issue often faced by Civil Servants (ASN) due to demanding job responsibilities, negatively impacting performance, motivation, job satisfaction, and productivity. Excessive workload is a primary factor contributing to burnout, making it essential to examine their relationship in the governmental context. This study investigates the perception of workload and the level of burnout among civil servants at the National Unity and Political Agency (Kesbangpol) of Jambi Province. Using a quantitative correlational approach, the study involved 65 civil servants selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered through an online questionnaire consisting of a workload perception scale (30 items) and a burnout scale (22 items). The Pearson Product Moment correlation test with SPSS software was used for data analysis. Descriptive results showed that most respondents reported moderate to high levels for both variables. A correlation coefficient of r = 0.503 with a significance level of p = 0.001 (p < 0.05) indicates a significant positive relationship between workload perception and burnout. This suggests that higher perceived workload increases the likelihood of experiencing burnout. To reduce burnout and maintain optimal performance, balanced workload management, social support, and stress management strategies are essential for civil servants.

This study examines in depth the risk factors influencing financial statement fraud in the Indonesian banking sector by employing the Fraud Hexagon framework. This framework comprises six core elements—pressure, opportunity, rationalization, capability, arrogance, and collusion—each representing potential drivers of fraudulent behavior. The study also aims to assess whether institutional investor involvement can serve as a moderating factor capable of reducing the likelihood of fraud. The research uses secondary data derived from the annual reports of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020–2023. Logistic regression analysis is employed to examine the relationships between the Fraud Hexagon variables and financial statement fraud, as well as to test the moderating role of institutional ownership. The findings reveal that, among the six elements of the Fraud Hexagon, only auditor changes (representing rationalization) and political connections (representing collusion) have a significant effect on financial statement fraud. The other elements—pressure, opportunity, capability, and arrogance—do not show a significant impact. Furthermore, institutional investor involvement is found not to moderate the relationship between the Fraud Hexagon elements and financial statement fraud, indicating that external monitoring through institutional ownership remains ineffective in the context of Indonesian banking. These results underscore the importance of closer supervision of rationalization and collusion factors, as well as the need for stronger internal control mechanisms to prevent fraudulent financial reporting. The study’s findings are expected to provide valuable insights for regulators, banking management, and other stakeholders in their efforts to enhance fraud prevention measures in the financial sector.

The Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) methodology is a qualitative risk analysis technique commonly used to detect potential work hazards. CV. Suryadi Sentosa, also known as Bapak Suryadi's Home Tempe Industry, is a home-based business that produces tempeh. Almost all of the production procedures are still carried out manually, and occupational accident analysis measures have not been implemented. The factory conditions indicate inadequate lighting and ventilation, as well as relatively slippery floors. It is also observed that the industry workers do not pay much attention to their posture, and they do not use personal protective equipment (PPE). This research was conducted directly at the CV. Suryadi Sentosa Tempe Factory, using interviews and observations of seven workers involved in the production process. The steps taken in this study are compiling the sequence of the production process. By using a Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) worksheet, identify potential risks, conduct risk control analysis, monitor and evaluate, implement improvements, and draw conclusions. The analysis found 9 stages of tempeh production at Mr. Suryadi's facility. Several improvements are needed, including involving several workers to handle soybean processing, creating ventilation to provide good and healthy air circulation for workers, adding lighting as a light source so that workers can perform their tasks comfortably, and using ergonomic chairs and work tables to prevent fatigue and increase factory productivity.

This study was motivated by the high number of stunted children found in stunting locations, namely in Kelurahan Kahean and Sigulang-gulang, Kecamatan Siantar Utara, Kota Pematangsiantar. This study also found indications of inadequate parenting patterns in terms of nutrition and child health care. This condition is a serious concern because stunting not only affects children's physical growth but also influences their cognitive development and future quality of life. To understand this phenomenon in depth, this study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, literature studies, and documentation, involving six main informants. The results of the study revealed that 4 of the 6 parents with stunted children practiced inadequate parenting, particularly neglectful parenting, which was the most dominant parenting style. This neglectful parenting style was characterized by a lack of adequate supervision and attention to providing nutritious food and health care for children. Parents who apply this parenting style tend to consistently ignore their children's nutritional and health needs, thereby increasing the risk of stunting. In addition, some parents also apply a permissive parenting style, which is characterized by allowing children to freely choose food without clear boundaries or rules. As a result, children often consume unhealthy foods and have irregular eating schedules. In addition to parenting factors, limited socioeconomic conditions also exacerbate the risk of stunting. Parents' low level of knowledge about balanced nutrition and child health care further increases the likelihood of children experiencing stunting. This shows that economic and educational factors are major obstacles in efforts to prevent stunting in the Kecamatan Siantar Utara.

This study aims to examine the relationship between paternal involvement and bullying victimization in Pharmacy students in West Sumatra. Using a quantitative approach, this study involved 320 respondents selected from various Pharmacy colleges in the region. The research instrument was independently developed by the researcher, with the paternal involvement scale compiled based on Lamb's (2010) theory which includes the dimensions of direct involvement, emotional availability, and paternal responsibility. Meanwhile, the scale of bullying victimization refers to the theory of Smith et al. (1999), which includes forms of physical, verbal, social, and cyber victimization. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson correlation technique, which showed a significant negative association between paternal involvement and bullying victimization (r = -0.728; p = 0.000). These findings indicate that the higher the level of father's involvement in a child's life, the lower the likelihood of the child experiencing bullying victimization. On the other hand, low involvement of fathers can increase the risk of students becoming victims of bullying. The results of this study make an important contribution to understanding the role of fathers as a protective factor against victimization behavior, as well as being the basis for the development of family interventions in the context of higher education. This research also opens up space for further studies on family dynamics and student mental health.

This study is prompted by the reduction in the Rexona brand index in 2024, which coincided with several program-related mistakes that generated consumer dissatisfaction and led to a noticeable erosion of both brand image and brand trust. Such circumstances highlight the vulnerability of even well-established brands when faced with consumer discontent, as missteps in marketing campaigns or product related initiatives can have a lasting impact on how consumers perceive and evaluate a brand. For companies operating in highly competitive industries, these issues raise serious concerns, since negative brand perceptions and diminished trust are likely to undermine consumer loyalty, weaken brand equity, and reduce the likelihood of long-term purchasing behavior. Against this backdrop, the present research seeks to examine more deeply how brand image and brand trust contribute to shaping consumers repurchase intention for Rexona products in Surabaya, a city that represents a dynamic and diverse consumer market. To achieve this objective, the study adopted a quantitative research approach, applying the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method for statistical analysis. Data were obtained through purposive sampling, involving 110 respondents who were identified as active and cosistent user of Rexona products within the city of Surabaya. The findings of the research reveal that brand image shows a benefical effect on repurchase intention, while brand trust demonstrates a significant role in enhancing consumer willingness to engage in repeat purchases. These results emphasize that the synergy between a strong brand image and sustained consumer trust acts as a fundamental determinant for maintaining repurchase intention, particularly within highly competitive market environments.

This study aims to examine the influence of Product Quality, which includes performance, durability, and the features offered. In addition, price plays an important role in the purchase decision, although in some cases it may be influenced by the consumer’s perception of the product's value. Brand Equity includes factors such as brand awareness, brand image, and consumer loyalty, and is also considered a highly influential element in the Purchase Decision of Asus Laptops among students of the FISIP Faculty at Universitas Mulawarman. This study employs a quantitative approach with a survey method. The sampling technique used is probability sampling with a simple random sampling method, involving 98 respondents. Data is collected through questionnaires distributed to FISIP students at Universitas Mulawarman who are users or buyers of Asus laptops. Data analysis is performed using multiple linear regression to determine the relationship and influence between independent variables (product quality, price, and brand equity) and the dependent variable (purchase decision). The results indicate that product quality, price, and brand equity both partially and simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on the purchase decision, meaning that the greater the likelihood of students purchasing an Asus laptop. These findings show that these three variables are key factors influencing consumer behavior in making a purchase decision for Asus laptops. This study provides valuable insight into the factors influencing technology product purchase decisions among students.

This study aims to determine the influence of independent variables, namely Promotion, Location, and Product Variation, on the dependent variable, Purchase Decision, at Seduhlur Coffee Kediri. The research method used is quantitative, employing multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 26 software. The sampling technique applied in this study is incidental sampling, which involves selecting respondents who happen to be present and meet certain criteria at the time the research is conducted. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that the Promotion variable has a positive and significant partial effect on Purchase Decision. This indicates that the better the promotional strategies carried out, the more likely consumers are to make a purchase. Similarly, the Location variable also shows a positive and significant partial influence, suggesting that the comfort and accessibility of Seduhlur Coffee’s location play an important role in influencing consumer decisions. Product Variation is also found to have a positive and significant partial effect on Purchase Decision, meaning that a greater variety of products offered increases the likelihood of attracting consumer interest. Simultaneously, all three variables — Promotion, Location, and Product Variation — have a significant and positive influence on Purchase Decision. This research is expected to provide useful input for Seduhlur Coffee Kediri in improving its marketing strategies and service quality to encourage and increase consumer purchasing decisions.

Preventing accidents during drilling and well service operations is a constant and primary concern for every company or contractor operating in the upstream business. Accident analyses often identify a number of causative factors and/or anomalies, where equipment-related items play a significant role. This article concentrates on the rig inspection process as a consistent method for detecting equipment-related anomalies before operations commence. These inspections allow necessary repairs to be made in a timely manner, thereby limiting the occurrence of accidents after the rig becomes operational. When thorough and systematic rig inspections are performed, the percentage of accidents where equipment failure is the primary cause remains very low. However, the factor of equipment condition contributing to accidents still persists in a significant number of cases. Drilling rig mast inspection is a crucial component in maintaining the safety and efficiency of drilling operations. This inspection process aims to detect structural anomalies and equipment conditions that could affect rig performance. In this study, we analyze the inspection methods applied to rig masts, including visual inspection, non-destructive testing, and condition monitoring. The results of these inspections are expected to identify potential risks and enable necessary repairs before operations begin. Through the implementation of systematic and standardized inspection procedures, companies can reduce the likelihood of accidents and equipment failures, thereby enhancing workplace safety. This study also discusses the importance of training for inspection personnel to ensure they possess the necessary knowledge and skills to detect potential problems that may arise. Thus, drilling rig mast inspection contributes not only to safety but also to overall operational efficiency.

Homogeneous leukoplakia is a mucosal lesion that is mostly white in color with a thin, flat surface that cannot be scraped off, most commonly found on the buccal mucosa, tongue, and floor of the mouth. In contrast to non-homogeneous leukoplakia, which appears white and red, and is nodular, speckled, or granular, non-homogeneous leukoplakia has a higher risk of malignant transformation. However, homogeneous leukoplakia is more commonly encountered than the non-homogeneous type. This article aims to report the management and implementation of communication, information, and education (CIE) in a suspected case of homogeneous leukoplakia in a 20-year-old woman. The patient presented to the Soelastri Dental and Oral Hospital in Surakarta with a complaint of a white patch on the tip of her tongue that had been present for six months. The patient had previously undergone scraping with gauze and betadine and was given antibiotics and mouthwash, but there was no significant change. Intraoral examination revealed a white patch on the dorsum of the tongue with a velvety surface, well-defined borders, asymptomatic, soft consistency, and rough texture. The management of this case included a thorough oral cavity examination, as well as providing detailed CIE about the condition experienced by the patient, including the importance of eliminating risk factors and reducing the likelihood of malignant transformation. The patient was also advised to undergo supportive testing, including biopsy, to confirm the diagnosis. In conclusion, homogeneous leukoplakia is a lesion that is mostly white, thin, flat, and cannot be scraped off. Management focuses on appropriate CIE, managing the existing lesions, eliminating causal factors, and monitoring the risk of malignant transformation. The implementation of CIE is effective in improving patient understanding and supporting patient involvement in managing the condition, thereby minimizing complications and long-term risks.

PT. Indosato Jaya Makmur is a company engaged in the culinary sector through the operation of a family restaurant called Washoku Sato, which serves authentic Japanese cuisine. The company is committed to maintaining taste quality, hygiene, and production consistency by utilizing mostly locally sourced raw materials. However, the company faces a serious challenge in the form of high employee turnover intention, which can negatively affect operational continuity, team stability, and service quality. This study aims to analyze the influence of workload (X1) and job satisfaction (X2) on turnover intention (Y). A quantitative research approach was employed, with data collected through the distribution of Likert-scale questionnaires to 86 permanent employees as respondents. The data were analyzed using a series of statistical tests, including validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The findings reveal that workload has a positive and significant effect on turnover intention, indicating that the higher the workload perceived by employees, the greater their tendency to leave the company. Conversely, job satisfaction has a negative and significant effect, suggesting that higher job satisfaction reduces the likelihood of turnover intention. Simultaneously, both independent variables significantly influence turnover intention, with an Adjusted R² value of 35.6%, while the remaining 64.4% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. These findings emphasize the importance of balanced workload management and continuous efforts to improve job satisfaction in order to minimize turnover intention and support the company’s operational sustainability.
