This study aims to analyze the effects of profitability, leverage, liquidity, firm size, and the audit committee on sustainability reporting in energy-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2024 period. This research is motivated by the increasing demand for corporate transparency and accountability regarding economic, environmental, and social impacts. The study uses secondary data from annual reports and sustainability reports, employing purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, corrected with the Newey-West method to account for violations of classical assumption tests. The results show that profitability, firm size, and the audit committee have positive and significant effects on sustainability reporting, while liquidity has a negative and significant effect. Meanwhile, leverage does not affect sustainability reporting. These findings support stakeholder theory, which posits that companies with strong financial performance and effective governance tend to enhance the disclosure of sustainability information. This study is expected to inform management and investors in their decision-making.

This study examines how environmental, social, and governance issues shape the impact of financial success on firm value. To understand the link between the variables, the legitimacy theory and signal theory are employed. The population used includes non-financial enterprises from 2019–2023 that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and are part of the Refinitiv database. Secondary data was gathered from the Indonesia Stock Exchange, official corporate websites, and the Refinitiv database in the form of sustainability reports, annual reports, and ESG scores. The sample size is 176 company data points over 5 years, selected using the purposive sampling method. Firm value is positively and significantly impacted by financial success, according to the research findings. ESG also improves the link between firm value and financial performance, according to the study. Lastly, the study's results also show that ESG increases business value, while not significantly. These findings suggest that the study's ESG variable is a pure moderator variable. Furthermore, the implications of the research both theoretically and practically have been discussed.

This study aims to analyze and provide empirical evidence on the influence of financial performance on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in healthcare companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020-2024. This quantitative research employs a descriptive explanatory causality approach to examine the relationships between variables. The sample consists of 19 companies selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 95 observations. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Classical assumption tests indicate that the data are normally distributed, while initial autocorrelation issues were addressed using the Cochran Orcutt approach, after which no violations of autocorrelation, multicollinearity, or heteroscedasticity were detected. The results show that return on assets (ROA), current ratio (CR), and net profit margin (NPM) simultaneously influence CSR. Partially, ROA has a negative and significant effect, while CR and NPM have positive and significant effects on CSR. This study contributes to legitimacy theory by providing empirical evidence of the role of financial performance in CSR disclosure within the Indonesian healthcare sector, while the negative effect of ROA offers additional insight into going concern theory. Practically, companies are advised to maintain liquidity levels between 150%-300% and optimize profit margins to support CSR strategies, while investors may use financial ratios as indicators to predict CSR performance.

This article proposes Marketing 0.0 as a fundamental conceptual repositioning of marketing theory rooted in the Trust Economy framework. Unlike mainstream marketing theory, which positions trust as an outcome of communication, persuasion, or brand reputation, cross-disciplinary studies in economics, sociology, and neuroscience suggest that trust functions as a pre-decisional condition that precedes market exchange. This research employs a conceptual-theoretical methodology, synthesizing transaction cost theory, social capital, neuroeconomics, and contemporary trust literature. The article's primary contribution is formalizing the shift in trust's position from a dependent variable to an ontological gateway in marketing decision-making. Marketing 0.0 is positioned not as a stage in marketing evolution, but rather as a conceptual ground zero that enables continuous tactical adaptation without reliance on pseudo-novelty. The article concludes with theoretical and practical implications for the development of marketing science in an era of uncertainty and information saturation.

This study aims to examine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) costs and financial characteristics on tax avoidance practices among publicly listed companies with the largest market capitalization in Indonesia. The study is motivated by Indonesia’s relatively low tax ratio compared to other emerging economies in the ASEAN region, which suggests the persistence of tax avoidance practices, particularly among large corporations. Grounded in legitimacy theory and agency theory, this research empirically investigates the influence of CSR costs, profitability, leverage, liquidity, activity ratio, growth ratio, and operating cash flow on tax avoidance. The research sample consists of 50 companies with the largest market capitalization listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the 2020–2024 period, employing a census sampling method and unbalanced panel data. Secondary data were obtained from annual financial reports and analyzed using panel data regression techniques. Tax avoidance is measured using the Book-Tax Differences (BTD) approach, while model selection is determined through the Chow test, Hausman test, and Lagrange Multiplier test. The results indicate that, simultaneously, all independent variables have a significant effect on tax avoidance. Partially, the activity ratio has a negative effect on tax avoidance, whereas the growth ratio and operating cash flow have a positive effect on tax avoidance. Meanwhile, CSR costs, profitability, leverage, and liquidity do not show a significant effect. These findings suggest that asset utilization efficiency tends to restrain tax avoidance behavior, while corporate growth dynamics and strong operating cash flows encourage more aggressive tax management strategies. This study provides empirical evidence from an emerging market context and offers insights for tax authorities and regulators in designing more effective, risk-based tax supervision policies.

This study aims to examine the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure and profitability with firm value. The research was conducted on companies in the oil, gas, and coal sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2024 period. The independent variables in this study are corporate social responsibility disclosure and profitability, while firm size is employed as a control variable. Firm value is proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV), whereas profitability is measured using Return on Equity (ROE). This study is grounded in Stakeholder Theory and Signaling Theory to explain the relationships among the variables. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, resulting in 29 companies. The data analysis techniques applied include Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression to examine both the simple relationships and the effects of corporate social responsibility disclosure and profitability on firm value. The results indicate that corporate social responsibility disclosure has a negative relationship with firm value, while profitability shows a positive and significant relationship with firm value.

This study examines the influence of foreign ownership, return on assets (ROA), and firm size on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure among energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2022–2024. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, including firms that consistently published annual and sustainability reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. ESG disclosure was measured as the proportion of disclosed GRI indicators to the total applicable indicators. Multiple linear regression analysis shows that foreign ownership and firm size significantly enhance ESG disclosure, while ROA has no significant effect. These results support legitimacy theory, suggesting that companies increase ESG transparency primarily to secure societal acceptance and maintain their social license to operate. In the energy sector, where environmental sensitivity and public scrutiny are high, ownership structure and firm scale emerge as stronger determinants of ESG disclosure than short-term profitability.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance on financial misreporting, with investor attention as a moderating variable in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2019–2022 period. The theoretical framework is grounded in Agency Theory and Legitimacy Theory to explain the role of ESG as an internal control mechanism and a means of gaining external legitimacy. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data from annual reports and sustainability reports. Financial misreporting is proxied by earnings management measured through discretionary accruals, while ESG performance is assessed using the GRI Standards index, and investor attention is proxied by institutional ownership. Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The findings reveal that all three ESG dimensions (environmental, social, and governance) have a significant negative effect on earnings management. Institutional investor attention is found to strengthen the negative relationship between environmental and social aspects with earnings management, but weaken the influence of governance. These results indicate that institutional investors tend to be more responsive to environmental and social issues compared to governance aspects. Practically, this study provides empirical evidence that ESG implementation can serve as a control instrument against financial misreporting in the banking sector, while theoretically enriching the literature on investor moderation in the relationship between ESG and earnings management practices.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the connection between the probability of financial statement fraud and the components of the Fraud Hexagon: pressure, opportunity, rationalization, capability, arrogance, and collusion. Additionally, we examine how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Disclosure functions as a moderator. Banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2021 and 2024 are the subject of this study. We make use of secondary data gathered from business sustainability and annual reports. Purposive sampling was used to choose the bank sample depending on the completeness of the data. We use the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), which works well for evaluating models with complex variables, for the analysis. The results of this study are expected to provide insights into how each element of the Fraud Hexagon contributes to financial statement fraud and how ESG Disclosure can mitigate these risks.

This study investigates the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and corporate financial distress, with board gender diversity examined as a moderating variable. Using 96 firm-year observations from manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2022–2024), the analysis employs variance-based Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings reveal that ESG performance does not exert a statistically significant effect on financial distress, and gender diversity does not moderate this relationship. These non-significant results constitute the central empirical contribution of the study, highlighting that ESG engagement and gender diversity have yet to translate into financial resilience in the Indonesian manufacturing context. The study underscores the importance of contextual factors—such as implementation costs, authenticity of ESG disclosures, and limited female representation on boards—in shaping the effectiveness of sustainability practices. The results provide theoretical implications for Stakeholder and Agency Theory and offer practical insights for managers, regulators, and investors in emerging markets.

The high level of Turnover Intention in regional banking industries indicates the importance of supervisor support in retaining employees. This study aims to analyze the effect of Perceived Supervisor Support on Turnover Intention with Work Engagement as a mediating variable. The research was conducted at PT BPR Bali Dananiaga involving 54 respondents selected using the purposive sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Path Analysis, Classical Assumption Tests, and the Sobel Test. The results show that Perceived Supervisor Support has a significant negative effect on Turnover Intention, Perceived Supervisor Support has a significant positive effect on Work Engagement, Work Engagement has a significant negative effect on Turnover Intention, and Work Engagement significantly mediates the effect of Perceived Supervisor Support on Turnover Intention. These findings strengthen Social Exchange Theory, stating that reciprocal relationships between supervisors and employees increase work engagement and reduce the intention to leave the organization.

This study investigates how Bahasa Medan, a distinctive regional dialect from North Sumatra, is used, transformed, and sustained within the digital environment of TikTok. Drawing on Hymes’ (1972) theory of the speech community and supported by sociolinguistic frameworks from Gumperz (1982), Holmes (2013), Bell (1984), and Bucholtz and Hall (2005), the research explores how Medanese youth employ their dialect across multimodal forms of communication—spoken performances, textual captions, and interactive comment exchanges. Using qualitative descriptive methods, the study examines content from selected TikTok creators who integrate Bahasa Medan into their videos to express humor, identity, and solidarity. The findings reveal that TikTok functions as a digital speech community where dialectal expressions such as palak, sor, beserak, slek, berondok, and merajok serve as linguistic markers of belonging and cultural pride. Furthermore, users exhibit strategic code-switching among Bahasa Medan, standard Indonesian, and English to balance local authenticity with global participation. These interactions demonstrate how linguistic creativity, humor, and social engagement enable regional dialects to thrive in transnational digital spaces. The research ultimately shows that Bahasa Medan on TikTok is not merely a form of entertainment but a dynamic expression of identity, cultural continuity, and community in the era of globalized media.

This study aims to analyze the influence of employer branding and digital capability on turnover intention, with employee engagement serving as a mediating variable, in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Central Java Province. The research design uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research method. The research sample consists of 205 SMEs employees selected using purposive sampling techniques with criteria of a minimum of six months of service and active use of digital technology in their work. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that employer branding has a positive effect on employee engagement and a negative effect on turnover intention. Digital capability has a positive effect on employee engagement, but its direct effect on turnover intention is not significant. Employee engagement was found to mediate the relationship between employer branding and turnover intention, as well as between digital capability and turnover intention. These findings reinforce the relevance of Social Exchange Theory and the Resource-Based View in the context of human resource management in the SME sector, while also providing practical implications that strengthening employer branding and enhancing employees' digital competencies can reduce turnover intention.

This study examines the strategic role of job satisfaction in shaping organizational commitment in the context of companies by synthesizing empirical evidence published between 2016 and 2025. Although it has been extensively researched, findings related to the consistency and determinants of the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment are still scattered and have not been integrated, thus requiring comprehensive mapping. Therefore, this study aims to identify empirical patterns, conceptual issues, and theoretical foundations that explain how job satisfaction contributes to the formation of organizational commitment. Using the PRISMA based Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, 35 articles were selected through the stages of identification, screening, quality assessment, and thematic synthesis. The review results show that job satisfaction is consistently a major predictor of organizational commitment in various corporate sectors. These findings are consistent with theories such as Social Exchange Theory, Equity Theory, Herzberg's Two Factor Theory, and Job Demands Resources Model, which explain the cognitive and affective mechanisms of commitment formation. In addition, variables such as work environment, job involvement, work life balance, internal CSR, and HR practices were identified as mediators or moderators that strengthen this relationship. This study concludes that increasing job satisfaction is an important strategy for strengthening commitment, reducing turnover intentions, and improving organizational performance. This review contributes to an integrative understanding of empirical developments and theoretical perspectives, and provides recommendations for future research to expand the data base and consider cross-cultural dynamics in organizations.

This study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure on firm value. The research sample was obtained using purposive sampling on mining firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2023 period, with a total of 102 observations. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression to test the proposed hypotheses. The results show that environmental disclosure has a significant positive effect on firm value, while social and governance disclosure have a significant negative effect. The theoretical implication of this study refers to agency theory, which asserts that information transparency through ESG can reduce information asymmetry between management and shareholders. However, if disclosure is carried out merely as a formality or symbolic practice, it may instead generate agency costs that are detrimental to the firm. In addition, these findings are also relevant to signaling theory, in which environmental disclosure can serve as a positive signal of a firm’s commitment to sustainability practices, thereby enhancing investor trust and strengthening the firm’s reputation. Practically, this study contributes to providing a more comprehensive understanding for firms, management, investors, and other stakeholders, while also serving as a reference for future research on ESG and firm value.

Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure reflects the extent to which a company communicates its overall responsibility for the impact of its activities in order to achieve business sustainability. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of firm size, firm age, profitability, and leverage on Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure. The research sample consists of energy sector and basic materials sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2022–2024 period that reported annual reports and sustainability reports using the GRI 2021 standards. The sampling method employed purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 33 companies with 99 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that firm age and profitability have a positive effect on Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure. Firm size and leverage do not have an effect on Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure. This study provides empirical evidence for Legitimacy Theory in explaining how internal company factors, particularly firm age and profitability, affect Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure as a form of aligning corporate activities with prevailing values and norms as well as societal expectations to obtain and maintain social legitimacy.

Climate change driven by global warming has prompted companies to enhance transparency regarding the environmental impacts of their operational activities, particularly in the disclosure of carbon emissions. Such disclosure is essential to address stakeholder demands and to gain social legitimacy, in accordance with stakeholder theory, which serves as the foundation of this study. This research aims to empirically examine the effect of environmental performance, profitability, and institutional ownership on carbon emission disclosure among non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The population of this study comprises non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2023. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 332 observations from 115 companies. The data analysis method employed is multiple linear regression analysis. The results reveal that environmental performance has a positive effect on carbon emission disclosure, indicating that the better the company’s environmental performance, the higher the level of carbon emission disclosure. Profitability and institutional ownership, however, have no significant effect on carbon emission disclosure.

This study examines how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance influences financial distress, incorporating cost of debt as a moderating variable. Financial distress is proxied by the Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR), reflecting a firm’s capacity to satisfy interest payments. The empirical sample consists of 655 firm-year observations of non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2014 to 2023. Panel regression with fixed effects and heteroskedasticity-consistent estimation (Panel EGLS with cross-section weights) is employed to analyze the data. Results indicate that ESG performance exerts a positive and statistically significant effect on ICR (β = 0.1189; p < 0.01), implying that firms with robust ESG practices are better able to service their debt and thus face lower financial distress. Additionally, the interaction term between ESG and cost of debt yields a negative and significant coefficient (β = −0.9714; p < 0.05), suggesting that elevated financing costs attenuate the beneficial impact of ESG on financial resilience. These findings are consistent with stakeholder theory, which advocates that proactive engagement with stakeholders enhances corporate stability, and trade-off theory, which underscores the necessity of balancing debt advantages against financial risk. This research contributes to the literature by demonstrating the conditional effect of cost of debt on the ESG–financial distress nexus. From a managerial perspective, the study underscores the importance of integrating ESG initiatives with cost-efficient funding strategies to mitigate financial distress risk and foster sustainable, long-term value creation.

This study aims to examine the mediating role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in the relationship between Perceived Organizational Support (POS), Perceived Organizational Commitment (POC), and employee performance in a state-owned enterprise in Indonesia. In the context of growing public expectations for improved service quality, organizations are challenged to enhance employee performance not only in formal roles but also in discretionary behaviors. Based on Social Exchange Theory (SET), this research proposes that POS and POC can affect performance both directly and indirectly through OCB. Data were collected through a census of 138 permanent employees at PT Jasa Raharja, East Java Branch. The analysis employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings show that POS has a significant positive influence on both OCB and employee performance. On the other hand, POC significantly influences OCB but does not have a direct impact on performance. The results also reveal that OCB plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between POS and performance, while it acts as a full mediator in the relationship between POC and performance. These findings emphasize the importance of fostering OCB within the organization to optimize the impact of support and commitment on employee performance. Encouraging voluntary, extra-role behaviors can bridge the gap between how employees perceive organizational treatment and how they perform. The study suggests practical implications for human resource management in public sector institutions. Policies should focus on building a supportive and engaging work climate that enhances affective commitment and acknowledges employee contributions beyond formal duties. Doing so will not only improve individual performance but also contribute to broader organizational effectiveness in a competitive and service-oriented environment.

In the rapidly changing digital and global era, organizations are required to be adaptive and innovative to survive and compete sustainably. Employee performance is one of the strategic factors in supporting organizational success. This research is motivated by the urgency of improving performance through innovative work behavior (IWB) and work engagement, which are considered two key elements in addressing the challenges of modern organizations. The main objective of this study is to analyze the effect of IWB on employee performance and evaluate the mediating role of work engagement in this relationship. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method, and was conducted on employees of the Batu City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). The results of the analysis indicate that IWB has a positive and significant influence on work engagement and employee performance. In addition, work engagement is also proven to act as a partial mediator that strengthens the relationship between IWB and performance. This means that the higher the innovative behavior of employees, the higher their engagement in work, which ultimately has a positive impact on performance improvement. These findings enrich the theoretical literature, particularly supporting theoretical frameworks such as Social Exchange Theory, Self-Determination Theory, Job Demands-Resources Model, and Conservation of Resources Theory. Practical implications of this research suggest that organizations need to create a work environment that supports innovative behavior and enhances employee work engagement by providing autonomy, recognition, and opportunities for self-development. This research suggests further studies to explore other contextual factors, such as organizational culture, transformational leadership, and supervisor support, which have the potential to strengthen the relationship between IWB, work engagement, and employee performance in various organizational sectors.
