This study aims to analyze the effect of Knowledge Sharing and Knowledge Leakage on Supply Chain performance, with Monitoring Opportunity as a mediating variable at the Library Office of Mesuji Regency. The research problem arises from the limited structure of knowledge-sharing practices, weak documentation of organizational knowledge, and the potential risk of knowledge leakage that may disrupt the effectiveness of library service supply chains. This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 115 employees of the Library Office of Mesuji Regency and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares with SmartPLS. The results show that Knowledge Sharing has a positive and significant effect on Supply Chain performance and Monitoring Opportunity. Knowledge Leakage does not have a significant direct effect on Supply Chain performance, but it has a negative and significant effect on Monitoring Opportunity. Furthermore, Monitoring Opportunity significantly mediates the relationship between Knowledge Sharing and Supply Chain performance, but does not mediate the relationship between Knowledge Leakage and Supply Chain performance. These findings indicate that knowledge sharing becomes more valuable when supported by monitoring capability, while knowledge leakage should be controlled through documentation, access control, and knowledge protection mechanisms. This study contributes to knowledge management and supply chain literature in public library service organizations.

This study examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing student collaborative learning, with a particular emphasis on AI-driven feedback mechanisms and patterns of student interaction in developing effective collaborative skills. Unlike prior studies, this research highlights the mediating effect of AI-driven feedback on teamwork efficiency and overall learning outcomes in collaborative environments. An explanatory quantitative approach was applied using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to ensure robust data analysis. Data were collected from 112 university students who were actively engaged in AI-assisted collaborative learning activities, using a structured online survey instrument. The data were subsequently analyzed using SmartPLS software. The results reveal that AI significantly enhances student interaction (β = 0.534, p < 0.000) and improves problem-solving feedback (β = 0.620, p < 0.000), both of which contribute to significantly strengthening collaborative skills (β = 0.716, p < 0.000). However, the findings also indicate that AI alone does not directly improve collaboration without the support of structured pedagogical design and guidance. Therefore, universities should strategically integrate AI-driven feedback into Learning Management Systems (LMS) and strengthen digital literacy initiatives to optimize the effectiveness and sustainability of AI in collaborative learning contexts.

This study analyzes the effect of capital structure and firm growth on firm value with dividend policy as a mediating variable in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2019-2024. The volatility of the property sector influenced by global and domestic economic conditions encourages the importance of understanding firm value formation mechanisms. The research method uses a quantitative approach with purposive sampling technique resulting in 66 observations from 11 companies during the research period. Data analysis uses Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling through SmartPLS application to test relationships between variables. The results show that capital structure and firm growth have no direct significant effect on firm value, but have a significant negative effect on dividend policy. Dividend policy has a significant positive effect on firm value and is able to fully mediate the effect of capital structure and firm growth on firm value with Variance Accounted For values of 151.6% and 90.4% respectively. These findings confirm the importance of dividend policy as a credible signaling mechanism regarding the company's ability to generate sustainable cash flows in creating value for shareholders amid the volatility of Indonesia's property sector.  

This study examines the effects of word of mouth, peer influence, and promotion on exercise decisions at gymnasiums in Bandar Lampung City, with hedonic motivation as a mediating variable. Drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior and consumer behavior perspectives, the research employed a quantitative causal-associative design. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from 100 active members of four gymnasiums and analyzed using Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS . The results indicate that word of mouth, peer influence, and promotion have positive and significant effects on hedonic motivation and on exercise decisions. Hedonic motivation also exerts a positive and significant effect on exercise decisions, suggesting that pleasurable and emotionally rewarding fitness experiences reinforce consumers' intention to engage in regular gym- based exercise. Mediation analysis further reveals that hedonic motivation significantly channels the effects of peer influence and promotion on exercise decisions, while the indirect effect of word of mouth is also significant, although its negative coefficient warrants careful interpretation. These findings demonstrate that exercise decisions are shaped not only by utilitarian health considerations but also by social influence, promotional exposure, and affective consumption experiences. The study provides practical insights for gym managers in designing service and marketing strategies that strengthen customer engagement and sustained participation.
