Political events often affect investors' decisions in taking wise steps. This paper analyses the impact of the political event "Emergency Alert" on the abnormal returns of IDX-listed infrastructure stocks using an event study methodology. Using a sample of 55 infrastructure stocks,the secondary data used are stock prices observed during the observation period. The difference in average returns before and after the event was assessed by analysing the estimated average abnormal return (AAR) and comparing the sample t-test statistics. The results of the analysis showed that a one-sample t-test (p < 0.05) indicated that abnormal returns were significant both before and after the event. However, a paired sample t-test showed that the difference between the average abnormal return rates of the two periods was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). This result suggests that although the "extraordinary alert" event has a significant impact on each period, its impact is not strong enough to cause a significant difference between periods. This study provides insights into stock market reactions to political uncertainty and serves as a reference for investors to address similar effects in the future.

The application of the Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS) method in employee performance assessment has been shown to increase the objectivity and accuracy of evaluations in various organizations. The BARS method assesses performance based on specific behaviors related to a particular task, thereby reducing subjectivity in assessment. Recent research by Hia et al. (2024) shows that the integration of the BARS method with a web-based system can facilitate the process of assessing and reporting employee performance. In this study, the BARS method was applied to identify factors that affect employee performance, while the web-based system helped to summarize assessment data efficiently. In addition, research by Rouza and Yanto (2020) at Pasir Pengaraian University developed a web-based Employee Performance Assessment Information System (SIPENTAJA) using the BARS method. This system makes it easier for leaders to assess and report employee performance quickly and accurately. Thus, the application of the BARS method integrated with a web-based system at di PT XYZ, Indonesia, is expected to increase the objectivity of employee performance assessments,facilitate the evaluation process, and support better decision making in human resource management.

Performance assessment is very important for a company when it comes to making decisions. Performance assessment can also affect employee motivation and commitment at work and can affect the criteria for promotion. In general, some companies use a performance assessment system that is subjective and is considered less effective because there is no standard, making employees feel less fair in terms of assessment. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to design an assessment system with the Behaviorally Anchor Rating Scale (BARS) method because this method is more objective in matters that need to be assessed. It is hoped that this BARS method can assess all employees more objectively and fairly and can affect the motivation of employees to be more active in work.
