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.

Financial consolidation has become a crucial strategy for multinational companies in addressing increasingly intense global competition. It is often employed as a primary approach to expand market reach and drive corporate growth, ultimately affecting liquidity, equity-earning based measures, and profitability. This study specifically examines the impact of consolidation on a company's liquidity, equity-earning based metrics, and profitability using financial ratio analysis, including Current Ratio (CR), Earnings Per Share (EPS), and Net Profit Margin (NPM) as key indicators. Adopting a quantitative approach, the research utilizes secondary data from the financial statements of PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk before and after consolidation in 2023. The methods applied include a comparison of financial statement items pre- and post-consolidation and a literature review relevant to financial performance analysis. The data analysis results reveal that post-consolidation, PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk recorded an increase in liquidity ratio (current ratio) by 15.26%, reaching 1.9171, and an equity-earning based ratio (earnings per share) rise of 53.74% to 0.001309, which positively impacted the company. However, profitability ratio (net profit margin) declined by 22.81% to 0.1028, indicating challenges in cost management and operational efficiency following the consolidation.

This study aims to examine the existing literature on the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), company size, and tax avoidance. CSR encompasses ethical business practices adopted by companies, including their compliance with tax regulations. In contrast, larger companies often have more resources and broader networks, which enable them to implement more effective tax avoidance strategies. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, which includes the development of a theoretical framework, identifying relevant variables, and analyzing findings from previous studies. The main objective is to investigate how CSR and company size influence tax avoidance. The results show significant differences in the interaction between CSR, company size, and tax avoidance, highlighting inconsistencies in previous research findings. Thus, this study provides a deeper understanding of the current dynamics surrounding these issues.
 

The aim of this research is to find out how the role of e-commerce increases opportunities for MSMEs in Indonesia. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with literature study as the main data source. We carried out the data collection process by searching literature with the keyword "The role of e-commerce in Indonesian MSMEs." on the Google Scholar platform. The results show that e-commerce has made a significant contribution to the MSME players themselves. The role of e-commerce has also increased since the COVID-19 pandemic, which at that time became the main solution for MSMEs to survive amidst the crisis caused by restrictions on physical activity. With e-commerce integrated with social media, MSMEs can still operate and maintain income because they are able to adapt to changes in market behavior. However, this research also identified several main challenges, one of which is the low interest in reading which causes a lack of digital literacy among MSME players. Therefore, technology training, digital infrastructure development, and policies that support the empowerment of MSMEs in the digital era are needed. By conducting this research, of course there is hope that strategic steps can be formulated to maximize the potential of e-commerce, not only in expanding market access on a global scale, but also being able to increase the global competitiveness of MSMEs in a sustainable manner.
 

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.
