This study was conducted to analyze the influence of transformational leadership and work morale on employee performance at company X, both partially and simultaneously. The study used a quantitative approach with a causal associative design aimed at testing the cause-and-effect relationship between variables. The study population consisted of 37 permanent employees who were also sampled using a total sampling technique, so that the entire population was represented in the study. The main instrument for data collection was a questionnaire using a Likert scale, which allows respondents to provide measurable answers. The collected data were analyzed through multiple linear regression with the help of the SPSS program version 26 to test the influence of each independent variable on the dependent variable. The results showed that the transformational leadership variable obtained an average score of 3.86 which is included in the good category, the work morale variable had an average score of 4.08 also in the good category, and the employee performance variable obtained an average score of 4.17 which is in the good category. Partial regression analysis revealed that transformational leadership has a significant influence on employee performance with a contribution of 40%. Meanwhile, work morale also has a significant influence, although its contribution is smaller at 10%. Simultaneously, both independent variables, transformational leadership and work morale, significantly influenced employee performance, with a combined contribution of 41%. This finding indicates that a transformational leadership style implemented by leaders and high employee work morale can significantly improve performance. However, 59% of other factors outside this study also influence employee performance, such as organizational culture, reward systems, work environment, and intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of implementing transformational leadership and company efforts to improve employee work morale to achieve optimal performance.

This study is an experimental research type with a 3 x 2 factorial design with 6 treatments. The data collection technique in this study was in the form of observations carried out by 3 trained panelists, 31 semi-trained panelists, and 19 untrained panelists with data collection instruments using a hedonic test assessment sheet with criteria for color, aroma, crispiness, taste, and overall. The data analysis technique used was two-way ANOVA assisted by SPSS version 22 software and continued with Duncan's follow-up test if a significant interaction was found. The results showed that 1) mocaf flour substitution affected on the level of likeability of elephant ear cake in terms of crispiness and taste; 2) the addition of carrot puree did not have a significant effect on all aspects of preference; 3) the interaction between the two only affected the crispiness; and 4) the best nutritional content of elephant ear cake was obtained from 4.81% fat, 1.25% ash, 7.88% protein, 1.02% water, 82.01% carbohydrate, 2.82% fiber, and 86.50 mg/100g beta-carotene

This study aims to analyze the influence of brand image, product variety, and bundling price on purchasing decisions among X consumers. The method used is a quantitative approach with a causal research design, so as to be able to explain the cause-and-effect relationship between variables. The research data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to 96 respondents who are active consumers of X. To ensure data quality, a series of tests were conducted including validity, reliability, normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. The main analysis used multiple linear regression supported by t-tests, F-tests, and coefficient of determination (R²) processed using SPSS software version 26. The results showed that brand image had a significant effect on purchasing decisions, indicating that consumers' positive perceptions of X's reputation were able to encourage higher purchasing interest. Bundling price also proved to have a significant effect, because the strategy of combining package prices was considered to provide economic benefits and added value for consumers. In contrast, product variety did not have a significant effect, indicating that consumers place more emphasis on brand image and pricing strategies than simply menu diversity. However, when tested simultaneously, all three variables were still shown to have a significant influence on purchasing decisions. The coefficient of determination value of 0.594 indicates that the combination of the three variables can explain 59.4% of the variation in purchasing decisions, while the remaining 40.6% is influenced by other external factors such as service quality, consumer trends, promotions, and customer experience. These findings reinforce the understanding that a strong brand image-based marketing strategy and the implementation of appropriate bundling prices can be key to increasing consumer appeal. For local coffee businesses like X, this study provides practical implications to focus more efforts on strengthening brand image, creating a consistent consumer experience, and optimizing pricing strategies.

This study aims to analyze the influence of capital structure, liquidity, sales growth, and green accounting, assessed through environmental performance and environmental costs, on the profitability of companies. The research focuses on the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period, which represents one of the most dynamic and environmentally impactful industries in Indonesia. The sample consists of 30 companies selected using a purposive sampling technique based on predetermined criteria, ensuring the representativeness and relevance of the data analyzed. The study employs multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS version 22.0 to test the hypotheses and measure the extent to which the independent variables contribute to profitability as the dependent variable. The findings reveal that liquidity and sales growth exert a positive and significant influence on profitability, indicating that firms with higher liquidity levels and stronger sales growth are better positioned to enhance their financial performance. In contrast, capital structure demonstrates a negative and significant effect, suggesting that higher levels of debt reduce profitability due to increased financial burdens. Similarly, green accounting, when assessed through environmental performance, also shows a negative and significant impact, implying that companies focusing on environmental initiatives may face higher costs that suppress short-term profitability. However, green accounting as measured by environmental costs does not show any significant effect on profitability, highlighting that disclosure or allocation of environmental costs alone may not directly translate into financial outcomes. Overall, the study concludes that capital structure, liquidity, sales growth, and green accounting—when measured through both environmental performance and costs—jointly influence the profitability of food and beverage companies on the IDX during the observed period.

Competition in the local culinary business is getting fiercer as consumers become more selective in choosing products based on quality, experience, and social media influence. Nasi Uduk Pemuda in Doko Village, Kediri Regency, is one of the culinary businesses that strives to survive by leveraging brand trust, distinctive flavors, and promotions through social media influencers. This study aims to analyze the extent to which brand trust, flavor, and social media influencers influence consumer purchasing decisions. The research method used is quantitative with a survey approach to consumers who have purchased the product. The number of samples was determined using the Slovin formula to ensure representativeness. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires, then analyzed using SPSS 29 software. The analysis included validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, partial t-tests, simultaneous f-tests, and calculation of the coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that partially, brand trust has a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions, as does the taste variable, which has been shown to play an important role in driving consumer loyalty and repurchase intention. Meanwhile, promotion through social media influencers showed a positive but insignificant influence, indicating that the presence of influencers does not fully determine consumer decisions in the context of traditional culinary products. The f-test showed that all three variables simultaneously had a significant influence on purchasing decisions. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.669 indicates that 66.9% of the variation in purchasing decisions can be explained by brand trust, taste, and social media influencers, while the remainder is influenced by other factors outside the study. This finding emphasizes the importance of maintaining consistent product quality, building brand trust, and continuing to utilize social media strategically as an effort to increase the competitiveness of local culinary businesses.

This study was conducted to analyze the effect of occupational safety and health (OHS) training, OHS compliance, and leadership style on the workplace accident rate among employees of PT. XYZ. Workplace accidents remain a significant problem in the industrial sector, thus this study seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the factors that can reduce this risk. The research method used was a quantitative survey approach, where primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 40 respondents selected using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling method. The analysis techniques used in this study were descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software version 25.
