Bowo Prasetyo, Tri Nur Wahyudi — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 03:49:11 +0000

Digital payment transactions and the widespread use of electronic devices are hallmarks of the cashless society that is emerging in tandem with the Fourth Industrial change and the change in financial technology. This study aims to examine how people in Central Java perceive the ease, benefits, and hazards of using QRIS, and how these factors influence their decision-making process. This study used a casual associative design and was quantitative in nature. This study used purposive sampling, which selects a population subset according to norms. One hundred people participated in this study. This study included multiple linear regression, hypothesis testing, classical assumption testing, and instrument testing. With a simultaneous test value of 70.201 and a Ftable value of 2.70, along with partial test values of the three variables exceeding the t table value of 1.986, this study concludes that perceptions of convenience, benefits, and risk significantly impact the decision to use BRImo QRIS in Central Java.

Ria Andiani Supriarti, Hary Febriansyah — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 03:38:03 +0000

As Labkes Jabar prepares to become a BLUD (Public Service Agency) in 2025, it must address the critical issue of effectively managing its human capital to achieve organizational readiness. The organization must prepare its human capital to be more agile in adapting to new organizational changes and to become the most fundamental asset of the organization in BLUD implementation. Human capital is very influential to the success of an organization in improving their organization’s performance. This study identifies the strategic human capital management (HCM) practices that will drive the success of BLUD implementation, focusing on areas that remain flexible within the constraints of government regulations. The study assesses the organization's human capital practices through a combination of qualitative thematic analysis and quantitative SEM-PLS methods. The findings reveal that while leadership practices are already strong and effective, there is room for improvement in other areas crucial to the transformation. The study recommends the adoption of an advanced Human Capital Management System (HCMS) to optimize leadership development, enhance learning opportunities, improve workforce efficiency, increase knowledge accessibility, and boost employee engagement. By integrating these improvements into a structured HCMS, the organization can better manage and develop its human capital, aligning employee capabilities with the strategic objectives of the BLUD transition. The study further proposes a 7S change management framework as a strategic foundation for implementing these HCM practices. The framework enables the organization to identify change in an organized manner, ensuring that all critical issues are addressed and aligned with the transformation goals. It highlights the necessity of a specialized committee to supervise the development and implementation of these initiatives, accentuating the significance of leadership in facilitating organizational transformation. The research highlights the significance of digitalization, talent management, structured training programs, employee well-being initiatives, and continual competency and performance evaluation as important elements in attaining long-term success. In summary, this investigation offers practical suggestions for Labkes Jabar to improve its human capital management, thereby enabling a seamless transition to BLUD status. Future research should explore broader applications of these strategies across similar government institutions and regions to validate and refine the proposed HCM approach.

Imam Darul Firmansyah, Mohammad Herli, Ahmad Ghufrony — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 07:37:21 +0000

The latest study highlights the importance of the role of digital transformation in increasing the competitiveness of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, the complex interaction between factors influencing digital adoption in MSMEs in the creative economy sector is still unresearched, especially in developing countries. This study aims to investigate the determinants of digital transformation adoption among MSMEs, focusing on the relative influence of organizational, technological, and environmental factors. We use a quantitative approach by conducting a survey of 254 MSME owners and managers. The data was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess the relationship between variables. Our findings reveal that organizational factors exert the strongest influence on digital transformation adoption, followed by technology factors. Environmental factors, while significant, show a relatively lower impact. This study contributes to a more diverse understanding of digital transformation in MSMEs by emphasizing the excellence of the organization's internal capabilities. Our study shows that policies aimed at driving digital adoption should prioritize strengthening organizational readiness alongside technology support.

Triana Agustini, Esti Tri Endarwati, Aliming Bassi, Widarti Widarti — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 08:21:30 +0000

In Indonesian retail organizations, this study examines the effects of Social Media Marketing (SMM) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on Brand Image, with Consumer Trust as a mediating variable. With a sample size of 270, data were gathered quantitatively using a Likert scale (1–5), and structural equation modeling with partial least squares (SEM-PLS 3) was used for analysis. The findings show that SMM and CSR have a substantial positive direct impact on consumer trust, which significantly benefits brand image. Brand Image can be enhanced through substantial channels, as demonstrated by the indirect benefits of SMM and CSR through Consumer Trust. The model displays intense goodness of fit and predictive relevance, suggesting that SMM and CSR play critical roles in forming consumer trust and, in turn, brand image. These findings offer insightful information for retail businesses looking to enhance their brand image through socially conscious activities and strategic marketing.

Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach for Selecting Audit Team to Reduce Audit Report Lag

Yaumal Arafat, Santi Novani — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 09:02:18 +0000

Customs and Excise Audit is the authority held by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DGCE) in accordance with 125/PMK.04/2007 concerning Customs Audits. West Java's DGCE (one that has that function) has nine audit teams and aims to complete 42 audit reports in 2023. In mid-October 2023, this office received a non-regular audit assignment of seven auditees and had to select a team that could be assigned from a total of nine audit teams. The average audit completion time from 2017 to mid-2023 has always increased. Audits ideally finish within three months of assignment, as per Minister of Finance Regulation No. 125/PMK.04/2007, Article 12, paragraph (1). The author uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method in the decision-making process to determine seven audit teams with the smallest potential for audit report lag. Collaboration with experts and previous research results are also used to determine the criteria in the process. Notably, the identification of audit teams 1 and 5 as having the highest potential for audit report lag, based on criteria derived from expert collaboration and previous research, was empirically validated. Both teams, when assigned audits under real-world conditions, produced reports with completion times exceeding the average, underscoring the predictive validity of the study's methodology.
