The property and real estate sub-sector serves as a strategic pillar for investment in Indonesia, despite BPS (2023) data showing a growth slowdown to 2.18% due to macroeconomic pressures. Financial performance throughout the 2021–2024 period exhibited significant volatility, with profit growth contracting to –5% in 2022 before rebounding to 15% in 2024. These fluctuations reflect the dynamics of economic recovery and the success of corporate operational efficiency in navigating interest rate hikes and inflation. This study aims to determine the effect of Company Size, Capital Structure, Return on Assets (ROA), and Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on Profit Growth. The population used in this study is the Property & Real Estate sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2021–2024 period. This study uses secondary data with a population of 68 companies. The sampling technique used a purposive sampling technique, resulting in a research sample of 30 Property & Real Estate sub-sector companies. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The results show that Capital Structure, Return on Assets, Total Asset Turnover, and Company Size influence Profit Growth.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Online Travel Agent (OTA) distribution channels in influencing room sales volume and net profit for hotels in Java. Although OTAs have become a primary distribution choice that successfully boosts sales figures, there is still a lack of research highlighting the impact on net profitability due to high commission costs.Using a quantitative associative method through panel data regression analysis, this study examines the causal relationship between the proportion of sales made via OTAs and two performance indicators over a two-year period (2021–2023). The primary findings reveal a dual effect:OTA Distribution Channels have a positive and significant influence on Room Sales Volume (supporting Hypothesis H1).Conversely, OTAs have a significant negative impact on Hotel Profit Margins (supporting Hypothesis H2), indicating a substantial financial trade-off.The contribution of this research is to provide balanced empirical evidence regarding volume gains versus margin losses resulting from OTA usage. The managerial implications suggested by these findings are that hotels need to implement distribution strategies focused on Net Revenue Management and channel mix optimization to achieve a balance between volume requirements and profitability.

This study examines the mediating role of SDG disclosure in the relationship between ESG score and financial performance within the mandatory reporting context of non-financial firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2021-2023. Using a purposive sample of 59 companies (177 observations), the analysis employs panel data regression and the Sobel test to evaluate ESG metrics from Refinitiv Eikon alongside disclosure and financial data from corporate reports. Empirical results show that ESG score does not significantly predict SDG disclosure nor directly affect financial performance measured by ROE. Furthermore, SDG disclosure shows no significant association with financial performance and fails to mediate the ESG-ROE relationship. Firm size is the only variable positively related to SDG disclosure, suggesting that reporting practices are more strongly driven by organizational resources and public visibility than by substantive ESG performance. Overall, the findings reveal a decoupling phenomenon, where sustainability reporting in Indonesia tends to reflect symbolic compliance rather than value-creating integration. The study concludes that a credibility gap exists in the capital market, as SDG disclosure has not yet functioned as an effective mechanism for converting ESG performance into financial gains. This study provides evidence on the limitations of SDG disclosure as a value transmission mechanism in emerging market, offering insights for regulators and market participants seeking to enhance the economic relevance and credibility of SDG reporting.

This study aims to examine the influence of internal control systems and the quality of accounting information systems on the accuracy of production cost calculations at PT. Tunggal Mitra Plantation – PKS Manggala. Accurate production cost calculation is essential for improving operational efficiency, supporting managerial decision-making, and ensuring reliable financial reporting. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consists of employees involved in accounting, finance, and production activities, with 31 respondents selected through the total sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS software. The findings indicate that the internal control system has a significant positive effect on the accuracy of production cost calculations. Likewise, the quality of the accounting information system significantly enhances the accuracy of cost determination. Simultaneously, both variables demonstrate a significant influence on production cost accuracy, indicating that effective internal controls supported by reliable accounting information systems contribute to more precise and consistent cost calculations. The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R Square) of 0.810 shows that 81% of the variation in production cost accuracy is explained by these two variables, while the remaining 19% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening internal control mechanisms and improving accounting information system integration to enhance operational performance, cost management, and strategic decision-making.

This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of transformational leadership and digital literacy on civil servant performance through the mediating role of adaptability. The research population comprised all 75 employees at the Regional Financial Management and Local Revenue Agency (BPKPAD) of Demak Regency, Indonesia. A saturated sampling method was employed, utilizing the entire population as respondents. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 3.3 software. The findings reveal that transformational leadership significantly and positively influences both civil servant adaptability and performance. Digital literacy demonstrates a significant positive impact on both adaptability and performance, emerging as the most dominant factor in the research model. Civil servant adaptability significantly and positively affects performance. However, mediation analysis indicates that adaptability does not significantly mediate the relationships between transformational leadership, digital literacy, and performance, suggesting that direct effects predominate over indirect effects in the BPKPAD Demak Regency context.

People with visual impairment face barriers in cash transactions, particularly in identifying banknote denominations and verifying authenticity, which can reduce independence and increase vulnerability to fraud. This issue is also closely linked to the financial inclusion agenda, as access to reliable information on the value and authenticity of cash is a prerequisite for safe transactions among vulnerable groups. This community service program aimed to improve users’ competence through individualized, home-visit–based education and mentoring on an optical–UV sensor–based banknote denomination and authenticity detector with audio feedback. The program was implemented in collaboration with the Kebumen branches of PERTUNI and ITMI from October to December 2025. The intervention stages included an initial needs assessment, structured training using a concise module, hands-on practice through transaction scenarios, and follow-up mentoring. Evaluation employed a pre–post knowledge test, a practical performance checklist, and a usability questionnaire. Results indicated that the mean knowledge score increased from 55.1 to 80.7, and the success rate of denomination identification improved from 60.7% to 90.0%. This approach is relevant as an individualized mentoring model for blind communities when group-based training is difficult to implement.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Digital Financial Literacy and Organizational Culture on Employee Performance with Financial Information Systems as a mediating variable in Kodam IV/Diponegoro. Using an explanatory quantitative approach, data was collected through a survey of TNI and civil servant personnel who handle financial administration (purposive sampling) and analyzed using SmartPLS. The test results show that Digital Financial Literacy has a positive and significant effect directly on employee performance. On the other hand, Organizational Culture does not have a significant direct effect on performance, but has been proven to have a positive and significant impact on the effectiveness of the Financial Information System. The key findings of this study confirm the strategic position of the Financial Information System which functions as a full mediator for the Organizational Culture in improving performance, as well as being the strongest determinant factor. The implications of this study suggest a priority on strengthening the reliability of the system and the digital  competence of personnel in order to realize transparent and accountable defense governance.

This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style and work motivation on employee performance with organizational commitment as an intervening variable at the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency of West Sumatra Province. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. Data were collected through distributing questionnaires to 45 employees using a census technique. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results show that leadership style and work motivation have a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment. In addition, leadership style and work motivation also have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. However, organizational commitment does not have a significant effect on employee performance and is unable to mediate the influence of leadership style and work motivation on employee performance. These findings indicate that improving employee performance in public sector organizations is more effective through directly strengthening leadership style and work motivation. This study is expected to provide theoretical contributions in the development of public sector human resource management studies and become practical considerations for organizational leaders in formulating human resource management policies oriented towards improving apparatus performance.

Official travel constitutes a routine yet strategically significant component of local government administration, closely intertwined with bureaucratic processes, public financial management, and accountability arrangements. Despite its operational importance and fiscal visibility, official travel management has received limited integrative attention in the public administration literature, and existing studies remain fragmented across procedural, financial, and governance perspectives. This article addresses this gap by providing a comprehensive literature review on administrative efficiency in official travel management within local governments, with particular attention to bureaucratic processes and cost control mechanisms. Adopting a narrative–analytical literature review design, the study employs a state-of-the-art and theory-driven synthesis of recent peer-reviewed scholarship in public administration, public financial management, governance, and related fields. The analysis integrates thematic and conceptual synthesis techniques to identify recurring patterns, relationships among key concepts, and unresolved issues in the literature. The findings reveal consistent patterns of procedural inefficiency, including administrative burden, complex approval chains, and process fragmentation, which persist even under formal cost control and accountability systems. The review further demonstrates that compliance-oriented financial controls often secure fiscal conformity without necessarily improving administrative efficiency, particularly when misaligned with bureaucratic workflows and constrained by limited administrative capacity. Governance and accountability mechanisms enhance transparency and oversight but frequently prioritize answerability over performance learning, thereby legitimizing inefficiencies rather than resolving them. By synthesizing insights from Administrative Efficiency Theory, Public Financial Management, Bureaucratic Process Theory, Administrative Capacity Theory, and Governance and Accountability perspectives, this article advances an integrative conceptual framework that explains efficiency outcomes as systemic products of interacting institutional dimensions.

The assessment of a company's value is crucial for investors to identify its prospects and performance. Financial ratios such as the Current Ratio (CR) and Return on Assets (ROA) are used to analyze factors affecting the company's value. This study aims to analyze the impact of CR and ROA on company value in manufacturing companies within the Miscellaneous Industries sub-sector for the period 2015–2024. The study uses a quantitative approach with data from annual financial reports of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Data analysis is conducted using panel data regression with the Random Effect Model (REM) as the best model. The dependent variable is company value, measured by Price to Book Value (PBV), while the independent variables consist of CR and ROA. The results show that CR does not have a significant effect on company value, while ROA significantly affects company value. Simultaneously, CR and ROA are proven to significantly affect company value, indicating that the combination of liquidity and profitability plays an important role in explaining PBV variations. This finding suggests that investors pay more attention to profitability than liquidity in the Miscellaneous Industries sector.

This study aims to analyze the financial performance of KSP Kopdit Obor Mas using the PEARLS method (Protection, Effective Financial Structure, Asset Quality, Rates of Return and Cost, Liquidity, Signs of Growth) and to examine its relevance within the Resource Based View (RBV) framework. The research employed a descriptive method with both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and cooperative financial reports from the Annual Member Meeting (RAT) for the period 2022–2024. The results indicate that the Protection aspect is categorized as healthy, as the risk reserve ratio is sufficient to cover delinquent loans. The Rates of Return and Cost aspect also shows good performance due to stable operational cost efficiency. However, weaknesses were found in the Effective Financial Structure, Asset Quality, and Signs of Growth aspects, particularly in the declining membership growth. From the RBV perspective, the cooperative possesses valuable and rare resources in the form of strong risk management capability and operational efficiency, but it has not fully developed a strong capital structure and asset quality to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, the cooperative should improve credit management, strengthen institutional capital, and enhance membership growth to maintain long-term financial sustainability.

Cashier service plays a crucial role in cooperative operations as it is directly related to members’ financial transactions. Service quality contributes to member satisfaction and loyalty, which in turn affects cooperative performance. This study aims to evaluate the role of cashier services in cooperative performance and member satisfaction at the Koperasi Simpan Pinjam Credit Union Bahtera Sejahtera. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that the cashier service system has generally been implemented well and is positively perceived by members. However, several constraints remain, particularly during peak service hours, including long waiting times caused by the limited number of cashier staff and overlapping responsibilities with customer service functions. These conditions reduce service responsiveness. Nevertheless, cashier services significantly contribute to enhancing member satisfaction and supporting cooperative performance through efficient financial transactions and increased member trust. Improvements in service efficiency and task allocation are therefore recommended to optimize cashier service quality.

Low financial literacy, weak sharia-based governance, and limited business legality remain key barriers to the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). These constraints reduce managerial capability, restrict access to formal financing, and hinder business growth. This study developed an integrated mentoring model combining financial literacy, sharia governance, and business legalization using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. 25 MSMEs in Brebes Regency participated in four stages: needs assessment, training, mentoring, and evaluation. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, bookkeeping observations, and legality checklists. Results showed significant improvements: financial literacy scores increased from 52 to 84 (61.5%), bookkeeping adoption rose from 20% to 88%, and Business Identification Number (NIB) ownership increased from 32% to 84%. Average monthly turnover also grew by 33%. These findings indicate that participatory and practice-based mentoring effectively enhances knowledge, behavior, and economic performance. The model offers a scalable strategy for strengthening sustainable and ethical MSME management.

Tobacco is a leading commodity that forms the foundation of the rural economy, but its cultivation faces challenges in the form of labour intensity, significant capital requirements, and farmers' lack of understanding of systematic cost structures. This study aims to analyse the production cost structure and evaluate the economic efficiency of tobacco farming managed by the Batu Daun Farmer Group in Batuan Village, Sumenep Regency. The research method used a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection through in-depth interviews with the head of the farmer group, field observations, and analysis of financial documents as secondary data. The analysis focused on identifying fixed and variable costs, as well as evaluating economic performance using the Break Even Point (BEP) and Revenue-Cost Ratio (R/C) indicators. The results showed that the total production cost was IDR 28,597,500 (fixed costs of IDR 3,450,000 and variable costs of IDR 25,147,500) for the production of 2,800 kg of tobacco with a gross income of IDR 70,000,000. The R/C ratio value of 2.44 (>1) indicates that the business is operating efficiently and profitably, while the BEP of 215.4 kg shows that actual production far exceeds the break-even point, meaning that the business is in an economically safe zone. The results of the study conclude that the tobacco farming business of the Batu Daun Farmer Group is economically viable and efficient.

International student enrollment is a critical driver of financial sustainability for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). While advanced forecasting is standard in the corporate sector, its application in educational planning remains limited. This study addresses this gap by comparing the predictive performance of ARIMA, Facebook Prophet, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models. Using a publicly available annual dataset from a US-based institution (2000–2022), the analysis employed a strategic partition training on 2000–2017 and testing on 2018–2019 to validate models on stable, pre-pandemic data. Empirical results revealed that the statistical ARIMA (2,1,0) model demonstrated superior accuracy, achieving a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 1.26%. Conversely, Prophet (11.81%) and LSTM (13.84%) struggled with the limited sample size, failing to generalize effectively compared to the linear approach. The findings suggest that for annual enrollment trends, parsimonious statistical models outperform complex deep learning architectures, providing administrators with a robust, accessible framework for data-driven strategic decision-making.
