Phenomenological Study: The Impact of Financial Technology on Financial Satisfaction (Case Study of Meatball and Chicken Noodle Traders in Jagakarsa District)
This study aims to examine the influence of financial technology (Fintech) on the financial satisfaction of micro business actors, especially meatball and chicken noodle traders in Jagakarsa District, South Jakarta. Using a phenomenological approach combined with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, this study explores how Fintech features such as transaction security, ease of access, ease of use, speed, and transaction costs affect user satisfaction. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with 15 selected vendors and the administration of a paired comparison questionnaire. The results show that transaction security is the most dominant factor influencing financial satisfaction, followed by ease of access and ease of use. Speed and cost are considered less important. Among the Fintech alternatives evaluated, e-wallets (e.g., GoPay, OVO, DANA) are rated as the most effective tools in increasing satisfaction, slightly outperforming mobile banking. QRIS has a moderate impact, while digital lending received the lowest rating due to concerns over complexity and risk. These findings show that Fintech solutions aimed at micro-entrepreneurs must prioritize simplicity, accessibility, and most importantly, trust. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on digital financial inclusion, which offers practical implications for Fintech developers, policymakers, and financial institutions seeking to support informal sector businesses through inclusive, user-centric digital innovation.

Relational Marketing Strategies in Building Consumer Trust in Printing Businesses in Padang City
In the digital era, printing businesses face significant challenges in retaining customers due to intense competition and rapidly changing consumer behaviors. Beyond product quality, modern consumers increasingly value transparent, consistent, and meaningful interactions with businesses. This study examines how relational marketing strategies can foster consumer trust in printing businesses. Using a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with business owners and customers, and the data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns in relational marketing practices and their impact on trust. Findings reveal that clear and consistent communication, high-quality service, and personalized attention to customer needs strengthen emotional connections and long-term loyalty. The strategic use of digital media facilitates faster and more flexible interactions, while long-term commitments, such as after-sales support, continuous innovation, and loyalty programs, emerge as critical for sustaining trust. These results highlight that consumer trust is not solely built through product quality but also through the ongoing cultivation of relational ties. The study concludes that printing businesses should integrate effective communication, consistent service, personalization, digital engagement, and long-term commitment to enhance customer loyalty and competitive advantage in an increasingly complex market. This research provides practical insights for business owners seeking to strengthen customer relationships and sustain growth in the digital era.

Dynamic System Analysis of Vannamei Shrimp Supply Chain: Evaluation of Distribution Delays in Cold Chain Logistics at Exporting Companies
Vannamei shrimp is one of Indonesia's leading export commodities that relies heavily on the efficiency of cold chain logistics to maintain product quality during shipping. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the factors causing distribution delays in the vannamei shrimp supply chain at a seafood exporting company in Makassar, South Sulawesi, and evaluate their impact on product quality, return rates, and export prices. Methods: The method used is the System Thinking and System Dynamics approach, by building a dynamic system model using Vensim software. Data were obtained through literature studies, interviews, field observations, and historical distribution data for 2023. Results: The results show that an average distribution delay of 12–18 hours causes an increase in temperature during transportation by 2–3°C, resulting in a decrease in shrimp quality and an increase in return rates of up to 7% of total monthly exports. Through simulations of improvement scenarios, the model shows that optimizing the criteria for export-worthy shrimp and increasing the efficiency of distribution rates can reduce the number of damaged shrimp and increase export volume. Model validation tests with a MAPE value of 5.16% indicate a good match between the simulation results and actual conditions in the field. Implications: This research is expected to be a reference for exporting companies in designing strategies to improve cold chain logistics to increase the competitiveness of Indonesian shrimp products in the international market.

Optimizing Digital Marketing Strategies to Increase Coffee Tourism Competitiveness in a Sustainable Economy
This study aims to analyze digital marketing strategies to enhance the competitiveness of coffee tourism as part of sustainable economic development. Tourism based on local commodities, particularly coffee, has great potential to boost community welfare because it integrates aspects of agriculture, culture, and the creative economy. Coffee is not merely a consumer product but also a cultural identity that can be packaged as a tourist attraction through educational activities, agrotourism, and experience-based tourism. However, limited technology utilization and suboptimal digital marketing strategies remain major obstacles to coffee tourism development. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews with managers, field observations, documentation of promotional activities, and literature studies supporting the analysis of digital marketing theory. The results show that optimizing digital marketing strategies can be done through consistent use of social media, strengthening branding based on positioning and uniqueness, and involving local communities in developing promotional content. Social media, such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, have proven effective in building visual narratives about the uniqueness of coffee tourism, while branding that emphasizes the quality of Gayo coffee and the authenticity of the experience is able to attract tourists within a more specific market segment. Furthermore, the involvement of local communities in digital marketing strategies serves not only as promoters but also as cultural agents that maintain the authenticity of the tourism experience. This involvement strengthens the image of coffee tourism as an inclusive, participatory, and sustainable destination. The positive impact of implementing this strategy is not only seen in the increase in tourist visits but also in the opening of new business opportunities for the local community, ranging from homestay management and local transportation to creative coffee-based products. This aligns with the concept of a sustainable economy, where economic benefits are felt not only by business owners but also by the local community as a whole. Therefore, the results of this study confirm that digital marketing strategies play a crucial role in strengthening the competitiveness of coffee tourism, both locally, nationally, and internationally. Successfully utilizing digital technology for promotion not only provides short-term benefits in the form of increased tourism but also encourages the creation of a more sustainable tourism ecosystem. Coffee tourism can develop as a commodity-based tourism model that maintains a balance between economic, social, and environmental aspects, while strengthening regional identity amidst increasingly fierce global competition.

Analysis of Accounting Information System in the Management of Merchandise Inventory at Zeirrie Collection Store
The Accounting Information System (AIS) is a computer-based system that transforms accounting data into information to support business continuity. Merchandise inventory, as a crucial component, requires proper management since it represents a significant current asset. This study aims to analyze the implementation of AIS in inventory management at Zeirrie Collection Store. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method through observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects of this study were the owner, warehouse staff, and cashier of Zeirrie Collection Store. The findings indicate that the use of the accounting information system in managing merchandise inventory has not yet been fully optimized. Discrepancies between system data and physical stock were still identified, caused by input errors, manual recording, and weak internal controls. The absence of standard operating procedures (SOPs), unclear division of tasks, and limited employee understanding of the system are identified as inhibiting factors. Thus, the AIS applied has not been fully capable of supporting operational efficiency and inventory information accuracy.

The Influence Of Public Trust And Tax Socialization On Tax Compliance Of Msme Taxpayers (Case Study On Individual Taxpayers At Kpp Pratama Bandung Bojonagara For The 2023 Period)
Taxpayer compliance is a key factor in optimizing state revenue. However, the compliance level of MSME taxpayers in Indonesia, including those registered at KPP Pratama Bandung Bojonagara, remains relatively low despite the continuous increase in the number of taxpayers. This condition indicates a gap between potential revenue and the realization of Annual Tax Return (SPT) reporting. This study aims to examine the effect of Public Trust and Tax Socialization on the compliance of MSME individual taxpayers who are non-employees and registered at KPP Pratama Bandung Bojonagara in 2023. The research employed a quantitative approach with descriptive and verificative methods. The population consisted of more than twenty-two thousand taxpayers, with a sample of one hundred respondents determined using Slovin’s formula. Primary data were collected through questionnaires, while secondary data were obtained from official documentation of the tax office. The data analysis involved validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination, F-test, and t-test. The findings reveal that Public Trust and Tax Socialization simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance. Partially, both variables also show a positive and significant effect. The coefficient of determination indicates that Public Trust and Tax Socialization explain only a part of taxpayer compliance, while the remaining portion is influenced by other factors beyond this study

Communal Accounting in Minangkabau Culture: An Ethno-Cultural Study of Badantam Practices
This study examines the practice of Badantam, a tradition of financial mutual aid in Minangkabau wedding ceremonies, particularly in Nagari Ketaping, Padang Pariaman Regency. This tradition functions not only as a mechanism for pooling funds but also reflects the principles of customary-based accounting implemented simply yet imbued with cultural values. The primary focus of this research is to explore the accounting system used in Badantam, specifically a cash-basis system, in which recording occurs only for transactions received in cash or cash equivalents at the time of the event. A qualitative approach with ethnographic methods was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, involving informants such as customary leaders, religious figures, community leaders, the wedding organizing family, and surrounding community members. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, while data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The findings indicate that Badantam operates through four main stages: collection, recording, announcement, and supervision. During the recording stage, all contributions— whether cash or gold converted to cash value—are formally documented in a special ledger according to sequence and kinship category. This demonstrates the practical application of cash-basis accounting, where recognition occurs only upon actual receipt of funds. Furthermore, transparency is ensured through public announcement of each contribution via loudspeaker; accountability is reflected in clear reporting accessible to all; and supervision is implemented collectively by both the committee and community through direct verification of records and physical cash.This, Badantam can be viewed as an embodiment of cultural accounting, integrating cash-basis principles with the values of transparency, accountability, and collective oversight. This tradition demonstrates that modern accounting principles have long been embedded in Minangkabau customary systems, grounded in local wisdom, social solidarity, and internalized religious values. Keywords: Badantam, Communal Accounting, Minangkabau Culture

The Influence of Collateral and Business Conditions on Non-Performing Loans with Debtor Character as a Moderating Variable at PT. BPR Duta Paramarta
This study investigates the influence of collateral and business conditions on non-performing loans (NPLs), with debtor character as a moderating variable, at PT. BPR Duta Paramarta. Using a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected from 100 debtors through loan records and structured questionnaires. Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0 was employed to analyze the relationships. The results indicate that collateral (β = 0.424, p < .001) and business conditions (β = 0.362, p = .001) significantly reduce the probability of NPLs. The moderating effect of debtor character on collateral was insignificant (β = –0.079, p = .254), suggesting that collateral remains the dominant predictor regardless of behavioral attributes. However, debtor character significantly moderated the relationship between business conditions and NPLs (β = 0.274, p = .011), amplifying repayment success when favorable traits are present. These findings extend the 5C credit evaluation model and highlight the importance of integrating behavioral assessment in rural banking risk management.

Comparative Analysis of Impairment Loss Allowance Before and After the Implementation of SAK EP and Its Effect on Profit at PT. BPR Duta Paramarta
This study aims to compare the allowance for impairment losses before and after the implementation of Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards for Private Entities (SAK EP) and to examine its impact on the profitability of PT BPR Duta Paramarta. Using a quantitative and comparative approach with secondary financial data, the analysis employed descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test to assess differences in impairment provisions under SAK ETAP and SAK EP. The results reveal a significant difference in the calculation of impairment loss allowance between the two standards, confirming the shift from a rule-based to a principle-based approach in credit risk assessment. However, regression analysis indicates that impairment loss allowance under SAK EP has a positive but not statistically significant effect on profit. These findings suggest that while the adoption of SAK EP leads to more comprehensive recognition of credit risk, its immediate impact on profitability is limited. The study contributes to the understanding of regulatory changes in financial reporting and their implications for the banking sector, particularly rural banks. Keywords: financial reporting, incurred loss concept, credit risk management, profitability, regulatory compliance.

This study aims to analyze the extent to which corporate image and social media marketing influence purchasing decisions at PT. Yusuf Mamlaka Mubarokah, an agribusiness company based in Bojonegoro Regency. Employing a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis, the research involved 108 active consumer respondents. The findings indicate that both corporate image and social media marketing have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. Corporate image is shaped by elements such as impression, trust, and attitude, while social media marketing is supported by dimensions of content, audience engagement, and digital interaction. These results highlight the importance of optimizing corporate communication strategies and strengthening digital promotion efforts to enhance consumer loyalty and purchase intention.

A Predictive Model of Buying Intentions Based on Product Attributes and Geographical Factors: A Case Study in Pabean Market Surabaya
The objective of this research is to experimentally investigate the impact of product diversity, product quality, price, and location on consumer purchasing interest in a traditional market, namely Pasar Pabean Surabaya. The study utilized quantitative, correlational methodology through a survey method. Data was gathered from 40 consumers. The instrument utilized was a Likert-scale questionnaire, and the analysis employed multiple linear regression via SPSS 25. The results show that all four independent variables significantly affect purchase interest simultaneously and partially. Product quality dominates, followed by price and location. Although insignificant, product diversity has a significant impact. Purposive sample and contextual limitation to a particular traditional market may limit generalization. Quality of service, interaction with clients, and advertising strategies could be added to future studies. The findings suggest that market managers and local vendors should increase product quality, fair pricing, market accessibility, and product variety to attract and keep customers under current retail competition. This research contributes to the limited literature on consumer purchase behavior in traditional markets by integrating key marketing variables into a coherent statistical model.

Omnichannel Strategy, Chatbot Responsiveness, and Same-Day Delivery's Influence on Customer Satisfaction in the Metaverse Commerce Era: A Case Study of Bukalapak and Zalora"
This research aims to examine the influence of omnichannel strategy, chatbot responsiveness, and same-day delivery on customer satisfaction within the context of metaverse commerce. Using a quantitative approach with regression analysis, the study focuses on a case study of two e-commerce platforms, Bukalapak and Zalora. Data was collected through online questionnaires from a sample population of 300 people in Samarinda and its surrounding areas who have used these three services. The analysis method used was a combination of SEM-PLS. The research findings show that all three independent variables—omnichannel strategy, chatbot responsiveness, and same-day delivery—have a significant influence on customer satisfaction. All alternative hypotheses were accepted. Among the three variables, same-day delivery showed the strongest influence, indicating that delivery speed is a crucial factor for customers. Meanwhile, chatbot responsiveness and omnichannel strategy also had a positive influence, although their impact was smaller compared to same-day delivery. The model was able to explain a large portion of the variation in customer satisfaction. The implications of these findings suggest that companies like Bukalapak and Zalora need to prioritize delivery services to improve customer satisfaction. The results of this study can serve as a guide for optimizing omnichannel strategies, chatbots, and logistics. It is also recommended that future research includes additional variables and uses qualitative methods to provide a more comprehensive understanding.

An Analysis of the Effectiveness of TikTok Video Content in Increasing Customer Engagement (A Study on Fashion MSMEs in Samarinda)
This study aims to analyze the most effective TikTok content strategies for fashion Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Samarinda and to determine the influence of content quality on increasing customer engagement. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, with quantitative data obtained through customer surveys and the analysis of over 100 promotional posts (Code A1-A100) during the April 2025 period. Quantitative analysis utilized Descriptive Statistics and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), with robust model validation (CFI: 0.925; RMSEA: 0.057). The results of the hypothesis testing indicate that TikTok Video Content has a positive and significant influence on the Increase in Customer Engagement (Standardized Coefficient = 0.684, ). The most effective content is dominated by the principles of Entertainment (highest mean ) and Relatability, with an optimal duration of 15 to 30 seconds. The engagement pattern found tends to be higher in passive and value-marking metrics (Likes and Saves) compared to active metrics (Comments and Shares). Format-wise, Video dominates the awareness metric with the highest Views (Post A44 reached 423,000 Views), while the Carousel format excels in the long-term value (Saves)metric (Post A32 recorded 11,249 Saves). The implications of these findings suggest that MSMEs must focus on duplicating the successful formulas of Video for awareness and Carousel for value, while prioritizing clear Call-to-Actions (CTAs) to boost conversion. However, optimal effectiveness is hindered by major factors such as inconsistent content production and difficulty in mastering the rapid changes in TikTok trends.

Maqashid Shariah-Based Development Strategy of Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) for Sustainable Economic Empowerment in Jambu Village
This study aims to analyze the development strategy of the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) Jambu in Jambu Village using the maqashid shariah approach as an effort to realize sustainable economic empowerment. The research employs a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation study techniques. The findings indicate that the development strategy focuses on optimizing local potential through three main business units: the Savings and Loan Unit, printing services, and the agricultural sector. This approach aligns with the concept of Falah, which integrates material and spiritual well-being. However, its implementation still faces several challenges, including limited production facilities, weak institutional management, low community participation, and suboptimal integration of maqashid shariah values. The principle of hifzh al-mal has been applied through business financing access, but Islamic financial literacy remains limited, while the aspects of hifzh al-nafs and hifzh al-‘aql have not yet been strengthened through systematic training and education

Different Markets, Different Choices: Halal Certified Chicken Consumption Among Muslims in Taiwan and Indonesia
Purpose: This study investigates differences in purchasing decisions for halal-certified chicken between Muslim consumers in Indonesia and Taiwan. It explores the socio-cultural, institutional, psychological, and economic factors shaping consumer choices, while assessing the role of halal literacy and certification. Methods: A qualitative comparative design was applied, using semi-structured interviews with Muslim consumers in both countries. Purposive sampling was conducted in Indonesia, while snowball sampling was employed in Taiwan due to the smaller and dispersed Muslim population. Data were analyzed thematically with NVivo and ATLAS.ti, supported by secondary sources such as halal regulations and community initiatives. Results: Findings reveal that Indonesian consumers often rely on trust-based relationships with Muslim vendors and assume halalness as a cultural default, reducing the urgency of certification. In contrast, Taiwanese consumers emphasize halal logos and certification bodies as primary assurances of Sharia compliance and food safety. Affordability and social familiarity drive Indonesian preferences, while availability, institutional trust, and diaspora support dominate in Taiwan. Implications: The study highlights that halal consumption is influenced not only by religious obligations but also by broader socio-cultural and institutional contexts. Results underscore the need for stronger halal assurance for fresh products in Indonesia and wider distribution of halal-certified foods in Taiwan, offering insights for policymakers and future research on Muslim consumer behavior across different settings.

The Economic Impact of Pesantren Haul Traditions on Local MSME Income: Evidence from Gentur Cianjur, Indonesia
This study aims to analyze the effect of pesantren haul traditions on the income growth of local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), with a case focus on Pesantren Gentur in Cianjur Regency, Indonesia. The haul tradition is viewed not only as a religious activity but also as a socio-economic phenomenon that has a significant impact on the surrounding community. A quantitative approach with an explanatory design was employed. Primary data were collected through surveys and interviews with 111 MSME actors around Pesantren Gentur and analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. The results reveal that the pesantren haul tradition has a positive and significant effect on MSME income growth, with a path coefficient of β = 0.843, T-statistic = 27.710, and p < 0.001. The structural model explains 71% of the variance in MSME income growth with a substantial effect size (f² = 2.451) and strong predictive relevance (Q² = 0.593). These findings confirm that pesantren haul functions not only as a spiritual event but also as a local economic driver. The implications suggest that better management of haul traditions is essential to optimize economic benefits for MSMEs without diminishing their religious values. Local governments and pesantren managers are expected to synergize in supporting infrastructure, event governance, and MSME empowerment. Future studies are recommended to expand the scope to pesantren in other regions and to integrate variables such as MSME digitalization to enrich the analysis of religious tradition-based economic development.

The Role of Organizational Culture in Improving Employee Performance through Human Resource Development
The impact of organizational culture on employee performance is crucial in enhancing productivity and work environment within companies. This study explores the influence of organizational culture on employee performance, with human resource development acting as a mediating factor. The research employs a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis, based on survey data collected from 32 employees at CV. Pangan Makmur Irja Sorong. The findings reveal that organizational culture has a positive influence on both employee performance and human resource development. However, despite the positive influence of human resource development on employee performance, this effect was found to be statistically insignificant. Additionally, human resource development was not a significant mediator between organizational culture and employee performance. This research contributes to existing literature by providing insights into the mediating role of human resource development in the context of organizational culture and employee performance in SMEs in Sorong. The practical implication of this study suggests that managers should focus on reinforcing organizational culture and aligning human resource development programs with organizational goals to improve employee performance. Targeted HR development initiatives can be a key factor in supporting overall business objectives and improving company performance.

Customer Satisfaction as a Mediator: Service Quality, Repurchase Intention, and Loyalty in Five-Star Hotels At Losari Beach
This study aims to analyze the effect of service quality on repurchase intention and customer loyalty, with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable, in five-star hotels located in the Losari Beach area of Makassar. The sampling method employed was purposive sampling, involving 390 customers as respondents. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) approach. The results indicate that service quality has a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention, customer loyalty, and customer satisfaction.

Government Internal Control as a Moderator of the Effect of Regional Financial Accounting Systems on Accountability
The objective of this study is to examine the effect of the regional financial accounting system on the accountability of regional financial management at the Berau Regional Financial Management Agency (BPKAD), and to assess the moderating role of the government’s internal control system in this relationship. Primary data were obtained from 67 employees of BPKAD Berau through structured questionnaires. Data analysis employed validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, simple linear regression, t-tests, the coefficient of determination, and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The findings reveal that the regional financial accounting system has a positive and significant impact on financial management accountability (t = 2.903 > 1.997, p = 0.005 < 0.05). Moreover, the implementation of the government’s internal control system strengthens this relationship, as indicated by a significant moderating effect (p = 0.038 < 0.05). The inclusion of the internal control system increases the explanatory power of the model by 41.1%, underscoring its importance in enhancing accountability within regional financial management.

The Effect Of Organizational Culture And Emotional Intelligence On Employee Engagement With Work-Life Balance As A Moderating Variable
This study aims to analyze the influence of organizational culture and emotional intelligence on employee engagement, with work-life balance as a moderating variable. The research method uses a quantitative approach with the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. Data were obtained through questionnaires distributed to 361 employees in the manufacturing industry in Tangerang City and analyzed using the SmartPLS application. The results show that organizational culture has no significant effect on employee engagement, while emotional intelligence has a positive and significant effect. In addition, work-life balance has a direct positive effect on employee engagement. Moderation tests show that work-life balance weakens the effect of organizational culture on employee engagement, but strengthens the effect of emotional intelligence on employee engagement. This finding presents the novelty that work-life balance can play a more dominant role than organizational culture in increasing employee engagement. The practical implication of this study is the need for companies to emphasize the development of employee emotional intelligence and create adaptive work-life balance policies to strengthen employee engagement. Meanwhile, organizational culture needs to be re-evaluated to align with employee welfare needs. Thus, this research not only enriches theoretical studies on employee engagement but also makes a tangible contribution to human resource management strategies in companies.

The Influence of Work Environment And Individual Characteristics on Employee Performance Through an Integrative Approach
This study aims to analyze the influence of the work environment and individual characteristics on the performance of production employees at PT. Jenggong Mulya Jaya Sentosa, Gresik. Using a quantitative approach, the entire population of 29 production employees was sampled using a saturated sampling technique. Information was gathered through a Likert-scale survey and examined using multiple regression analysis in SPSS version 27. 00. Validity and reliability test results indicate that all research instruments are valid and reliable. The classical assumptions (normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity) were also met, indicating a good regression model. A partial t-test revealed that the work environment (X2) had a significant partial effect on employee performance (Y), with a Sig. value of 0.045. However, human relations (X1) did not show a significant partial effect on employee performance (Y), with a Sig. value of 0.659. Furthermore, the simultaneous test (F test) shows that together, the work environment and human relations do not have a significant influence on employee performance (F count = 2.319 < F table and Sig. = 0.119 > 0.05). Finally, The outcome of the coefficient of determination assessment (Adjusted R Square) of 0. 089 shows that the two independent variables can account for only 8. 9% of the differences in employee performance, while the other 91. 1% is attributed to additional factors not included in the research model. This study concludes that although the work environment is individually important, further exploration is needed on other factors that influence employee performance at PT. Jenggong Mulya Jaya Sentosa to achieve optimal production results.

Analysis Of The Impact Of Digital Era Developments On The Needs For Frontliners In Indonesian Sharia Banks Branch Office of Padang Bulan
This study aims to analyze the impact of digital banking transformation on the demand for frontliners at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) KCP Padang Bulan using a mixed methods approach. Quantitatively, data were collected through questionnaires from 112 respondents and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression in SPSS 20.0. Qualitatively, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted on relevant studies from 2018–2024 to identify trends and patterns in the shift of frontliner roles. The results show that digital banking significantly affects the demand for frontliners, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 23.4% and a positive regression coefficient (B = 0.218). While digitalization reduces routine transactional tasks typically handled by frontliners, it simultaneously redefine their roles into more strategic, consultative, and digital-support functions. The findings indicate that frontliners are still needed, but with new competencies, especially in digital literacy and customer engagement. This implies that Islamic banking institutions must reorient their human resource strategies to sustain relevance in the digital era

The Effect of Good Corporate Governance, Corporate Social Responsibility, Liquidity, and Leverage on Financial Performance through Earnings Management Mediation
This study aims to examine the effects of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Liquidity, and Leverage on financial performance, with Earnings Management acting as a mediating variable. The research is based on data from publicly listed non-financial State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in Indonesia from 2020 to 2022. The hypotheses proposed include the direct effects of GCG, CSR, Liquidity, and Leverage on financial performance, as well as their influence through Earnings Management. Data were collected from annual financial reports available on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) website, and the analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The results show that Liquidity has a significant positive effect on financial performance, while GCG, CSR, and Leverage do not show significant direct or indirect effects. Earnings Management was found not to mediate the relationship between the variables and financial performance. These findings imply that while Liquidity plays a critical role in enhancing financial performance, the influence of GCG, CSR, and Leverage, as well as the role of Earnings Management, remains limited in the context of Indonesian SOEs. Future research could explore other mediating variables or focus on different industries or regions to further investigate these relationships.

THE The Influence of Workload, Employee Compensation, And Employee Competence on Employee Performance at The Simpang Tiga Redelong District Court And The Simpang Tiga Redelong Syar’iyah Court, Bener Meriah Regency, Aceh Province
This study aims to analyze the effect of workload, employee compensation, and employee competence on employee performance at the District Court of Simpang Tiga Redelong and the Syar’iyah Court of Simpang Tiga Redelong, Bener Meriah Regency, Aceh Province. The number of research samples was determined using the Slovin formula, resulting in 53 respondents from the total population of employees. The research method applied a quantitative approach with multiple regression analysis conducted through SPSS version 16.0. Descriptive analysis revealed that the workload variable was categorized as low, while employee compensation, employee competence, and employee performance were categorized as good. The simultaneous test (F-test) produced an F-value = 9.546 with a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that workload, employee compensation, and employee competence collectively have a significant effect on employee performance. However, the partial test (t-test) showed varying contributions of each variable. The workload variable (BK) obtained a t-value of -0.953 with sig. 0.345 (> 0.05), meaning it had no significant effect on performance. The employee compensation variable (KSP) had a positive and significant effect with a t-value of 2.436 and sig. 0.019 (< 0.05). Meanwhile, the employee competence variable (KMP) showed a positive but not significant effect with a t-value of 1.679 and sig. 0.100 (> 0.05). Based on these findings, it is suggested that institutions should pay greater attention to balanced workload distribution, strengthen a fair and performance-oriented compensation system, and continuously foster employee competence development to enhance the long-term performance of judicial institutions.

Strengthening Fraud Prevention in Islamic Banks: The Roles of Islamic Corporate Governance, Sharia Compliance, and Internal Control
This study aims to examine the influence of Islamic Corporate Governance (ICG) and Sharia Compliance on fraud prevention with Internal Control as a moderating variable in Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia for the period 2016 to 2024. This study uses a quantitative approach with 90 observations from 10 banks selected through a purposive sampling method. Sharia Compliance is measured using two proxies, namely the Islamic Income Ratio (IsIR) and the Profit Sharing Ratio (PSR). Data were obtained from annual reports, financial statements, and Good Corporate Governance (GCG) reports, then analyzed by Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) using E Views 12 software. The results show that ICG has a negative but insignificant effect on fraud prevention, IsIR has a significant positive effect, and PSR has a significant negative effect. The moderating role of Internal Control produces varying findings, namely insignificant in the relationship between ICG and fraud, significant negative in the relationship between IsIR and fraud, and significant positive in the relationship between PSR and fraud. The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive approach, integrating governance, sharia compliance, and internal control into the analysis of fraud prevention in Islamic banking. The results provide theoretical contributions to the literature on sharia governance and provide practical input for Islamic banking in strengthening transparency, accountability, and risk management.

Total Quality Management (Tqm) Analysis Of Zakat At The Muhammadiyah Zakat, Infak, And Shadaqah Institution (Lazismu) In West Java Region, 2021 Period
This study aims to analyze the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in zakat management at the Muhammadiyah Zakat, Infaq, and Alms Institution (LAZISMU) in West Java, and its implications for improving service quality, muzakki trust, and the effectiveness of zakat fund utilization. The approach used is descriptive-qualitative with phenomenological analysis of primary and secondary data through documentation, observation, and interviews. The results show that the implementation of TQM at LAZISMU West Java includes three main aspects: strengthening the organizational management system, increasing the competence of amil resources, and digital-based service innovation. The principles of continuous improvement, customer focus, and employee involvement are applied contextually within the framework of sharia values, resulting in institutional governance that is accountable, professional, and oriented towards the welfare of the community. In addition, the implementation of TQM integrated with maqāṣid al-syarī'ah strengthens the social function of zakat as an instrument of economic justice and community empowerment. This integration places the spiritual and moral dimensions as part of the institution's quality system, so that zakat management not only produces organizational efficiency, but also contributes significantly to the objectives of sharia in safeguarding wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl), soul (ḥifẓ al-nafs), and reason (ḥifẓ al-'aql). This study confirms that TQM in zakat institutions can be a sustainable Islamic quality management model to strengthen public trust and the socio-economic effectiveness of Islamic philanthropic institutions in Indonesia

The Effect of Job Quality And Competence on The Performance of The Quality Control Department Through Supervision
This study aims to analyse the effect of work quality and competence on the performance of the Quality Control department in construction manufacturing companies, with supervision as an intervening variable. The background of this study stems from the important role of Quality Control in maintaining product quality, where factors such as work quality, employee competence, and the effectiveness of supervision are believed to contribute directly or indirectly to performance. The research method used a quantitative approach with path analysis techniques. Data were obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to employees working in the Quality Control department. The variables measured included job quality (X1), competence (X2), supervision (Y), and performance (Z). The results of the study indicate that work quality and competence have a positive and significant effect on supervision. In addition, both work quality and competence have a direct effect on employee performance. Supervision has the most dominant effect on performance, while also acting as a mediating variable that strengthens the effect of work quality and competence on performance. Thus, improving work quality and employee competence will have a more optimal effect on performance if supported by effective supervision. The implications of this study emphasise the importance of companies developing the technical and professional skills of Quality Control employees, strengthening their monitoring systems, and integrating both to achieve sustainable optimal performance.

Optimization of Strategy Implementation of Financial Governance in an Effort To Improve The Quality of Financial Reporting in The People's Consultative Assembly (MPR - RI)
The People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) is a strategic high-state institution with constitutional functions that support accountable financial governance (Law of the Republic of Indonesia, 2003). Good financial governance in government institutions has become increasingly crucial, and the quality of financial reporting in the MPR-RI is often linked to the enhancement of public trust in the management of government finances. This research aims to evaluate the presentation of financial statements at the People's Consultative Assembly by analyzing financial governance, evaluating the presentation of financial statements, identifying what obstacles are faced in financial governance, and formulating optimal strategies that need to be implemented in good financial governance. The data in the present research was processed and scrutinized employing qualitative methods and strategy formulation with SWOT analysis. There are some conclusions obtained that the financial report of MPR-RI is currently in a good position, with a WTP status obtained from BPK. The results of the SWOT analysis in the context of MPR RI's financial governance are located in Quadrant 2, with a SW value of 0.03 and an OT value of -0.04. This result leads to a recommended strategy of diversification or defensive strength, which means that the MPR RI has good internal strength in financial management, but faces external threats (such as public pressure, changes in regulations, budget constraints, or national political dynamics). Some of the resulting recommendations are strengthen the security of data and financial application systems (SAKTI) using encryption and role-based authorization to prevent access breaches, utilize the advantages of internal oversight (Inspectorate and SPIP) to ensure consistent implementation of regulations across units, leverage external audits by the BPK to anticipate reporting discrepancies and encourage compliance with timelines, develop SOPs and cross-unit coordination protocols based on the successful experiences of existing reporting and oversight systems, and be responsive to technological changes by forming a special digital adaptation team in the financial sector.

The Application of Environmental Management Accounting in Developing Sustainable Business Plans among Entrepreneurial Students of Politeknik Negeri Medan
This study aims to (1) identify the level of understanding of entrepreneurial students at Politeknik Negeri Medan regarding the principles of Environmental Management Accounting (EMA), (2) analyze the extent to which their business plans substantively reflect environmental aspects, and (3) formulate a conceptual model for implementing EMA as a foundation for sustainable entrepreneurship development. Method: This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach through a case study design. Primary data were obtained from in-depth interviews with relevant participants and content analysis of the business plans they developed. The analysis focuses on exploring students’ perceptions, the challenges they encounter, and the environmental cost management components embedded in their planning. Results: The findings reveal a contradiction between the students’ strong commitment to ethics and sustainability and their limited technical competence in applying EMA to business planning contexts. Environmental aspects in their business documents are largely expressed qualitatively (such as environmentally friendly pledges) and have not yet integrated detailed calculations of environmental costs and eco-efficiency potential. This condition constrains the development of accountable business planning. Implications: These results highlight the critical need to revise the vocational education curriculum. Institutions should introduce practical EMA modules emphasizing environmental cost measurement so that Polmed graduates can design business plans that are not only ethical but also strategic and measurable from an accounting perspective.

Online Reviews, Trust, and Booking Intention: Airbnb Villas in Seminyak
This study investigates the mediating role of trust in the relationship between online reviews and booking intention for Airbnb villas in Seminyak, Bali. A quantitative descriptive approach was applied using questionnaires distributed to 140 Airbnb users who had previously booked villas in the area. Data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique in SmartPLS 4 to test direct and indirect relationships. The results indicate that online reviews significantly influence user trust but do not directly affect booking intention, while trust alone also shows no significant effect on booking intention. However, when tested as a mediating variable, trust successfully connects online reviews to booking intention. This implies that online reviews can enhance booking intention only by first strengthening user trust. Practically, the findings emphasize the importance for Airbnb managers and accommodation providers to ensure credible and transparent reviews as a strategy to build trust and encourage confident booking decisions.

The Effect Of Motivation On Visiting Decisions Mediated By Perception And Satisfaction At Pandawa Beach
This study examines the influence of motivation and perception on tourists’ visiting decisions, with satisfaction as a mediating variable, grounded in the Expectation Disconfirmation Theory (EDT). A quantitative approach was employed with 240 respondents, consisting of domestic and international tourists who had visited or were currently visiting Pandawa Beach, selected through accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that motivation has a direct and significant effect on both satisfaction and visiting decisions. Perception also contributes to enhancing satisfaction, although its direct impact on visiting decisions varies across tourist segments. Satisfaction acts as a key mediating factor linking motivation and perception to visiting decisions. These results enrich the theoretical understanding of tourist behavior and provide practical insights for Pandawa Beach management to improve service quality, comfort, and facilities in order to strengthen tourist satisfaction and encourage repeat visitation.

The Influence Of Tourism Product, Service Quality, And Authenticity On Revisit Intention Moderated By Cultural Spirituality In Tana Toa Village
This study analyzes the influence of tourism products, service quality, and authenticity on domestic tourists’ revisit intention in Tana Toa Tourism Village, Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, with spirituality as a moderating variable. Tana Toa represents the Kajang indigenous community that upholds the kamase-masea philosophy and Pasang ri Kajang customary law, making it a spiritually unique destination rooted in local wisdom. Using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, quantitative data were obtained from 295 domestic tourists and analyzed through PLS-SEM, while qualitative insights were drawn from in-depth interviews with key informants. Findings reveal that tourism products, service quality, and authenticity significantly affect revisit intention. Spirituality moderates the relationship between authenticity and revisit intention, but not between tourism products or service quality and revisit intention. The study’s novelty lies in integrating indigenous spirituality as a moderating variable in cultural tourism research. Practically, the findings emphasize the importance of cultural–spiritual narratives as unique selling propositions that strengthen Tana Toa’s tourism sustainability.

The Role Of Memorable Tourism Experience, Destination Image, And Perceived Value On Revisit Intention At Uluwatu Temple
This study investigates the influence of Memorable Tourism Experience (MTE) and Destination Image on Revisit Intention, with Perceived Value as a mediating variable, at Pura Luhur Uluwatu, Badung Regency, Bali. A mixed-method design combining quantitative and qualitative approaches was employed. The quantitative analysis was based on a survey of 315 domestic tourists who had previously visited Uluwatu, selected through accidental sampling, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The qualitative approach involved in-depth interviews with destination managers, tourism stakeholders, tour guides, and tourists to strengthen the interpretation of results. Findings reveal that both MTE and Destination Image significantly influence Perceived Value and directly affect Revisit Intention. Moreover, Perceived Value mediates these relationships. Theoretically, the results validate the Expectation–Disconfirmation Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior in explaining behavioral intention. Practically, the study suggests strategies to enhance experience quality, strengthen cultural image, and balance perceived benefits to sustain Uluwatu’s tourism competitiveness.

A qualitative method with a case study approach was applied in this research. Data was collected using interviews, psychometric tests, and from internal documents. Following descriptive and psychometric analyses, the causes of sales attrition in stages 1, 2, and 3 were personality reasons, inability to meet the target, and not receiving a promotion, respectively. To resolve these issues, we proposed that Bank Y conduct profiling during the hiring process and work, train the new hires, and transform the KPIs and incentives systems based on the sales staff profile. This study provides practical strategies and valuable information for human resource management to reduce employee attrition.

Implementation of Cross Border Insolvency Regulations in Bankcruptcy Cases in Indonesia
Complex bankruptcy issues are still possible, notwithstanding the rise in trade between businesspeople of different nationalities, particularly in cases of cross-border insolvency or bankruptcy that transcend national borders. The severity of the issues in cross-border insolvency proceedings in Indonesia is increased by the lack of consistency or harmonization of bankruptcy laws (statutory regulations) throughout nations worldwide about proposed bankruptcy rulings. This study employs the Normative Juridical research method, emphasizing literature reviews using relevant Indonesian laws and regulations and several relevant book references. It also takes an analytical descriptive approach. The following research findings were derived from the studies that were conducted: Efforts to create legal products that agree on cross-border bankruptcy laws in order to tackle global economic integration, particularly in the ASEAN region, are greatly aided by the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency with Guide to Enactment. Indonesia may choose to implement the Model Law in light of ASEAN's economic cooperation. Only three articles—Articles 212, 213, and 214—of the Bankruptcy Rules now in force govern international matters. These three paragraphs do not govern the technique and process of execution; they solely deal with the transfer of assets included in bankruptcy overseas and the transfer of all or a portion of debts or receivables to third parties.

The research employs a qualitative approach using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA protocol, through the review of over 300 international and national scholarly articles, which were then filtered down to 48 articles relevant to the research topic. The findings indicate that the application of STP plays a crucial role in understanding consumer characteristics, selecting appropriate target markets, and establishing a strong brand position. Meanwhile, the Ansoff Matrix provides strategic guidance for directing business growth through four alternatives: market penetration, product development, market development, and diversification. The integration of these two frameworks produces a comprehensive, long-term-oriented marketing strategy, enabling coffee shops to enhance competitiveness, expand market reach, and create sustainable added value. The study concludes that the synergy between STP and the Ansoff Matrix can serve as an effective conceptual guide for coffee shop entrepreneurs in designing marketing strategies that are adaptive to changes in consumer behavior and industry dynamics.

Development Of A Competency Model For Millennial Noken Crafters To Enhance The Competitive Advantage Based On The Creative Economy In The City Of Jayapura
This study examines the competencies of millennial noken crafters in Jayapura City to improve competitive advantages based on the creative economy. The research design uses a mixed method with an Explanatory Sequential Design approach. Quantitative data was collected through a survey of 27 noken crafters with data analysis using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and multiple regression. Qualitative data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies. The results show that the competence of noken craftsmen is largely determined by attitudes and values (β=0.403), while the competitive advantage of noken is determined by product differentiation (β=0.430). The most dominant aspect of the creative economy is the ability of noken crafters to access markets and marketing (β=0.321). Qualitative analysis highlights the need for technical training, strengthening cultural values, design differentiation, consistent promotion, and the role of government support. The competency model developed is the result of integrating attitudes and values, knowledge, and skills, then linking them to markets and marketing, creativity and innovation, collaboration and policy, cultural added value, quality and consistency to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of noken businesses in the creative economy era. This model is expected to serve as a practical guideline for the development of millennial noken crafters in Jayapura.

Implications Of The Unified Theory Of Acceptance And Use Of Technology 2 (Utaut2) Model On Cryptocurrency Investment Intentions Among Generation Z In Jayapura City With Financial Literacy As A Moderator
This study aims to analyze the effect of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) construct on the intention to invest in cryptocurrency among Generation Z in Jayapura City, with financial literacy as a moderating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory method. Data were obtained from 210 respondents aged 18–30 years through probability sampling techniques. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modelling–Partial Least Squares (SEM–PLS) with the assistance of SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results showed that of the eight variables tested, only financial literacy had a positive and significant effect on cryptocurrency investment intentions. Meanwhile, the seven primary constructs of UTAUT2—performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, and habit—had no significant effect. In addition, financial literacy was found to act as a moderating variable that strengthens the influence of hedonic motivation and weakens the influence of facilitating conditions on investment intentions. These findings indicate that Generation Z's investment decisions in Jayapura are more influenced by their level of financial knowledge and readiness than by technological readiness. Theoretically, this study expands the UTAUT2 model by adding financial literacy as a relevant contextual variable in explaining digital investment behaviour in developing regions. Practically, the results of this study emphasise the importance of strengthening digital financial literacy programs for young investors, developing educational content on investment platforms, and integrating digital financial literacy into college curricula to encourage rational and sustainable investment behaviour.

E-Digital Transactions From An Islamic Economic Perspective Among Students of The Faculty of Islamic Economics And Business, North Sumatra State Islamic University
The phenomenon of game top-up transactions among students is part of the rapidly growing digital economy in the modern era. This study aims to determine the behavior of students at the Faculty of Economics and Islamic Business at UIN North Sumatra in conducting game top-up transactions and to assess their compliance with Islamic economic principles. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation of active students who regularly conduct game top-ups. The results of the study show that most students make game top-ups as a form of entertainment and fulfillment of digital recreational needs, but there is still a lack of awareness of sharia principles such as prudence in spending, the prohibition of tabdzir (wastefulness), and the urgency of ensuring that transactions are free from elements of gharar and maisir. This study recommends the importance of strengthening Islamic economic literacy among students so that they can be selective and wise in utilizing digital technology in accordance with sharia values.

Javanese Cultural Dynamics and the Halal Industry: A Systematic Literature Review
The interaction of culture, particularly Javanese culture, with the halal industry is a unique topic, as it examines how long-held traditional values adapt to modern developments within the halal industry, which has an Islamic identity. More comprehensive research is needed, gathering perspectives from relevant literature related to Javanese culture and the halal industry. Therefore, this study aims to gather various literature and its developments, while analyzing them to identify key themes, identify research gaps, and provide possible future research directions. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, using the PRISMA program using the Watase UAKE program, was chosen to achieve the research objectives. The research results demonstrated the relevance and validity of 47 articles out of 142 Scopus articles. The publication trend for "Javanese culture and the halal industry" has increased significantly since 2022. The main theme of Javanese culture is reflected in the keyword "Javanese culture," while in the halal industry, it is reflected in the keywords "halal industry" and "halal food." A variety of holistic and comprehensive approaches to understanding the dynamics of Javanese culture and the halal industry is needed to address various research gaps in the previous literature. Therefore, in the future, mixed-methods research will be the best choice, utilizing various theories, including Cultural Integration Theory.

Analysis Of The Effectiveness Strategy Of E-Samsat In Increasing Motor Vehicle Tax Revenue At The Kisaran Pependa UPTD
This research was conducted at the Kisaran Regional Revenue Service Office (UPTD Pependa) to analyze the effectiveness of e-Samsat in increasing motor vehicle tax revenue, addressing the issue of low public participation in paying taxes through the e-Samsat application. The method used in this study was a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques used were field studies consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that E-Samsat is very efficient in improving internal administrative processes, reducing recording errors, and accelerating financial reporting. However, its effectiveness in increasing overall PKB revenue remains low, marked by minimal taxpayer participation (0.153%). This is due to uneven and ineffective socialization, as well as slow community adaptation due to low digital literacy, limited access to technology, and doubts about the security of online systems amidst rampant fraud and lack of education. The implication is that although E-Samsat is an efficient innovation, its full potential in increasing PKB revenue has not been achieved, requiring a more comprehensive and equitable socialization strategy, increased technological accessibility, and ongoing education to build public trust and digital literacy.

Analysis of Financial Inclusion and Sustainability of Women's MSMEs
The existence of women-owned MSMEs makes a significant contribution to improving the local economy and community welfare. However, in managing MSMEs, women entrepreneurs also face challenges in supporting business sustainability, both internal and external challenges. This study aims to analyze the relationship between financial inclusion and the sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) managed by women in Pekanbaru City. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach by providing questionnaires to respondents. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. The data analysis technique used was Partial Least Square (PLS). The test results show that digital literacy has a direct influence on financial inclusion, while government support, financial literacy, and education have a direct influence on the sustainability of women's MSMEs in Pekanbaru City. Furthermore, it was also found that there was no indirect influence moderated by the financial inclusion variable. So financial inclusion is not a variable that is able to connect financial literacy, digital literacy, education and government support for the sustainability of women's MSMEs in Pekanbaru City.

Analysis Of Local MSME Community Business Models Towards MSME Sustainability: An Nvivo Approach To Understand Business Perceptions And Practices
This study analyzes the business model of local MSME communities in supporting business sustainability in Medan City. The main focus is on the strategies implemented by MSME communities to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of their members' businesses, as well as the challenges faced in adopting sustainable business models. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis.

The findings indicate that MSME communities such as Bazar Orang Medan (BOM), Rumah Kawan Bunda (RKB), and About Women Community (AWC) play a significant role in supporting their members' business sustainability through digital marketing, business management training, and access to networks and resources. The business strategies implemented are based on the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach, covering economic, social, and environmental aspects. However, the environmental aspect has not been fully integrated into MSME business practices. The MSME community acts as a catalyst for business desires, and further synergy is needed between the government, society, and business actors to develop more sustainable business strategies.

Analysis of The Principles of Village Financial Management at The Karangsentul Village Office, Gondangwetan Sub-District, Pasuruan Regency
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the principles of village financial management in Karangsentul Village, Gondangwetan District, Pasuruan Regency based on the Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri) No. 20 of 2018, focusing on the principles of transparency, accountability, participatory governance, and orderly and disciplined budgeting. This research employs a qualitative method using interviews and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that the implementation of these financial management principles is not yet optimal. In terms of accountability, the village faces challenges related to delays in reporting and data input errors in the Siskeudes system, which affect the quality of financial accountability. In terms of transparency, budget information has been published through public billboards, yet the updates are not conducted regularly, resulting in limited access to up-to-date information for the community. Regarding the participatory principle, village meetings are still dominated by village officials and certain local figures, while general community participation remains relatively low. In the aspect of orderliness and budget discipline, delays in financial administration, limited understanding of technical regulations among village apparatus, and sudden policy changes without adequate training have led to budget implementation that is not fully aligned with the principles of orderliness, timeliness, and consistency with predetermined plans. The implications of this study highlight the need for strengthening the competency of village apparatus, developing more adaptive internal SOPs, and optimizing village financial information systems as strategic efforts to enhance effective village financial governance. Keywords: Accountability, Transparency, Village Financial Management

Early Detection of Financial Reporting Fraud in State-Owned Banks: The Role of Good Corporate Governance Mechanisms with the F-Score Model
This study aims to determine the effect of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) mechanisms on indications of financial statement manipulation in the banking sector of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2017–2023 period. GCG is measured by three indicators, namely external audit, audit committee effectiveness, and independent board of commissioners using the F-Score method. The sampling technique used in this study is purposive sampling with a sample of 4 SOE banks or 28 data on SOE companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017–2023. The data used are secondary data obtained from the company's annual report and the official BEI website. This research method uses a quantitative method and the analysis uses logistic regression analysis using IBM SPSS 26. The results of the study indicate that GCG, namely, external audit, audit committee effectiveness, and independent board of commissioners have a simultaneous effect on indications of financial statement manipulation of SOE banks with the help of control variables, namely company size and leverage. In addition, external audit, audit committee effectiveness, and independent board of commissioners partially do not affect indications of financial statement manipulation of SOE banks. These findings indicate that the implementation of effective corporate governance collectively has an important role in reducing the potential for financial reporting manipulation in the state-owned banking sector.

The Role of Brand Love in Mediating the Influence of Brand Image and Customer Experience on Consumer Loyalty of Pond’s Cosmetics (A Study Among Students of the University of Mataram)
This study analyzes brand love's mediating role in the relationship between brand image and customer experience on consumer loyalty toward Pond's Whitening Cream among University of Mataram students. The cosmetics industry in Indonesia demonstrates rapid growth at 5.35% annually, yet Pond's market share declined significantly from 25.3% in 2023 to 9.5% in 2024, necessitating comprehensive consumer behavior investigation. This quantitative research employed an explanatory design with 150 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via online questionnaire utilizing a five-point Likert scale encompassing 19 items across four constructs: brand image, customer experience, brand love, and consumer loyalty. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0 software analyzed the data through outer and inner model evaluation, incorporating 5,000 bootstrap permutations. Results demonstrate that brand image exerts the strongest direct effect on brand love (β = 0.567, p = 0.000), while customer experience demonstrates lesser influence (β = 0.328, p = 0.001). Both variables maintain significant direct pathways to consumer loyalty (β = 0.420 and β = 0.194 respectively). Critically, brand love mediates both relationships with substantial effect magnitude (β = 0.328, p = 0.000). The study concludes that brand love functions as a pivotal mediating mechanism, with brand image representing the paramount antecedent for emotional brand attachment. Future research should incorporate longitudinal designs, expand sample composition to non-academic populations, and investigate supplementary mediating variables including brand authenticity and perceived value.

Analysis of Factors Influencing Students' Financial Analysis Skills with GPA as a Control Variable
Higher education contributes significantly to developing students' financial analysis competencies, but the gap between academic achievement and practical skills remains a major challenge. This study was designed to analyze factors influencing students' financial analysis skills with Grade Point Average (GPA) as a control variable. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 415 active Accounting and Management student respondents from ten universities in Palembang City. Data were collected through a five-point Likert scale-based questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 26. The research constructs consisted of understanding basic accounting concepts, financial management, the use of digital accounting technology as independent variables, financial analysis skills as dependent variables, and GPA as control variables. The results showed that the three independent variables had a positive and significant effect on financial analysis skills with an R Square value of 0.807. The use of digital accounting technology was the most dominant factor with a beta coefficient of 0.592, followed by financial management (beta 0.220) and understanding basic accounting concepts (beta 0.127). The Grade Point Average strengthened the relationship between the independent variables and financial analysis skills. In conclusion, the integration of digital literacy, conceptual competency, and financial management understanding is crucial for developing students' analytical skills in the digital age. Higher education institutions need to optimize their technology-based and practice-based curricula to prepare graduates who are competitive in the financial industry

The Influence of Social Media Marketing on Brand Engagement and Consumer Brand Knowledge in Fashion Shoe Products
The digital era has made social media a strategic platform for the fashion footwear industry in building brand engagement and consumer knowledge, but its effectiveness still shows inconsistent results. This study aims to examine the influence of five social media marketing elements including entertainment, customization, interaction, electronic word-of-mouth, and trendiness on brand awareness and brand image of fashion footwear products. A quantitative approach was used with a survey method on 116 respondents selected using purposive sampling from active social media users who have interacted with fashion footwear brands. Data were collected through an online questionnaire based on a four-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Squares approach through SmartPLS. The results showed that none of the social media marketing elements had a significant effect on brand awareness (R2 = 0.278 in the moderate category), and brand awareness also had no significant effect on brand image (R2 = 0.042 in the weak category). In conclusion, individual brands' social media marketing efforts have a marginal impact on building brand knowledge of fashion footwear products, so integration with a more comprehensive offline marketing strategy is needed, emphasizing content relevance and value propositions, and focusing on the credibility and consistency of brand communication.

Shopping Lifestyle As A Moderating Variable Of The Influence Of Hedonic Shopping Value On Impulse Buying
This study aims to analyze and test the role of Shoppng Lifestyle variables as moderating variables in strengthening or weakening the influence of Hedonic Shopping Value (HSV) on Impulsive Buying (IB). Impulsive buying is a consumer behavior phenomenon characterized by lack of planning, quick decisions, and strong emotional drives, which often have significant financial consequences, especially in the context of e-commerce and stimulation-rich retail environments. Previous research has confirmed that hedonic value, namely the aspects of pleasure, excitement, and fantasy obtained from the shopping process, is a strong predictor of impulsive tendencies . However, the magnitude of this influence is believed not to be universal, but rather depends on the individual context, one of which is the internalized consumption pattern, namely shopping lifestyle. This study adopts the StimulusOrganismResponse (S-O-R) framework, where HSV serves as an internal stimulus (O) that triggers an impulsive buying response (R), and this interaction is moderated by shopping lifestyle. This study employed a quantitative design with a survey of active online shoppers in Indonesia. The target population was individuals with moderate to high levels of hedonic consumption. The analytical technique used was Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to test the moderation hypothesis. It is hoped that the findings of this study will provide theoretical contributions by validating shopppng lifestyle as an important contextual variable in consumer behavior models and provide practical implications for retailers in designing marketing strategies that target consumers based on their lifestyle profiles.

The Influence of Price (VAT) and Brand Image on Purchase Decisions of Scarlett Skincare Products in TikTok Shop through Consumer Trust as a Mediating Variable among Generation Z in Indonesia
This study aims to examine the effect of Price (VAT) and Brand Image on Purchase Decisions of Scarlett skincare products through TikTok Shop, with Consumer Trust serving as both a mediating and moderating variable among Generation Z in Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed, targeting Generation Z consumers who have purchased Scarlett products via TikTok Shop. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, with the criteria of respondents aged 13–28 years. Based on the Rao Purba formula, the minimum required sample size was 96.4 respondents, rounded up to 100, which is considered appropriate according to Roscoe’s rule of thumb suggesting an ideal range of 30 to 500 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires with a five-point Likert scale and analyzed with SmartPLS software. The findings reveal that Price (VAT), Brand Image, and Consumer Trust have a positive and significant effect on Purchase Decisions, both directly and indirectly. More specifically, Consumer Trust plays a mediating role in strengthening the influence of Price (VAT) and Brand Image on Purchase Decisions. Thus, Consumer Trust emerges as a key factor that bridges and reinforces the interrelationships among the variables, resulting in a more consistent and significant impact on Purchase Decisions

Does Work Stress Influence the Psychological Well-Being of Outsourcing Employees in Jabodetabek?
This study investigates the influence of work stress on the psychological well-being of outsourced employees in the Jabodetabek region, Indonesia. The research background demonstrates that regulatory expansions permitting outsourcing in core business functions have intensified employment precarity and occupational stress among outsourced workers. This descriptive quantitative research examined 122 outsourced employees through validated questionnaires measuring work stress (19 items) and psychological well-being (26 items). Data were collected via online and face-to-face questionnaire administration, with simple linear regression analysis conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25 software following classical assumption testing. The validity tests confirmed all 45 measurement items as valid (r-values ranging 0.581 to 0.934), while reliability testing achieved exceptional Cronbach's Alpha coefficients for work stress (0.963) and psychological well-being (0.985), both exceeding the 0.70 threshold. Results from simple linear regression analysis revealed that work stress exerts a statistically significant negative influence on psychological well-being (t-value = 11.396; p = 0.000; beta = 0.721). The regression equation Y = 152.316 + 1.265X demonstrates that each unit increase in work stress corresponds to a 1.265-point decrease in psychological well-being. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.520) indicates that work stress accounts for 52% of the variation in psychological well-being outcomes. Findings confirm that work stress systematically and significantly diminishes psychological well-being among outsourced employees, necessitating comprehensive organizational interventions including stress management programs, flexible work arrangements, and enhanced occupational health support specifically designed for precarious workers.

Evaluating Marketing Strategy GrabFood Through Agile Marketing Capability Framework: A Case Study of XYZ Coffee
The rapid growth of digital food delivery platforms has transformed marketing practices among micro and small enterprises (MSMEs), requiring greater adaptability and data-driven decision-making. This study aims to evaluate how Soulja Coffee’s digital marketing strategy on the GrabFood platform demonstrates the four dimensions of the Agile Marketing Capability (AMC) framework: adaptability, collaborative integration, continual innovation, and forecasting and monitoring of market needs. An explanatory sequential mixed-method design was employed. The quantitative phase analyzed six-month Grab Merchant Dashboard data (January–June 2025), including sales trends, advertising performance indicators such as click-through rate and return on ad spend, and promotional outcomes. The qualitative phase involved semi-structured interviews with two internal informants (a manager and a marketing staff member) to contextualize the quantitative findings. Results indicate evidence of adaptability through rapid promotional adjustments following sales declines; collaboration through routine coordination between management, marketing, and frontline staff; and innovation through dashboard-based experimentation, including the use of a discount calculator, which contributed to an increase in ROAS from 1.68 in March to 37.43 in June. Forecasting and monitoring practices were still descriptive, relying on manual dashboard review rather than predictive analysis. Overall, Soulja Coffee demonstrates early-stage marketing agility that remains operational rather than strategically institutionalized. The study extends AMC application to Indonesian micro-MSMEs, showing how informal learning, platform-provided tools, and iterative experimentation shape marketing agility under resource constraints, offering guidance for MSMEs to strengthen data-driven decision-making in platform-based commerce.

The Effect of Leverage on Profitability with Firm Size and Sales Growth as Moderating Variables in LQ-45 Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
This study examines the effect of financial leverage (Debt to Equity Ratio) on corporate profitability, measured by Return on Assets, Return on Equity, and Net Profit Margin, among companies listed in the LQ-45 Index of the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Firm size and sales growth are analyzed as moderating variables to understand how internal capacity and market performance influence the leverage–profitability relationship. The research applies a quantitative approach using secondary data from 45 listed companies during 2022–2024. Panel data analysis with a Fixed Effect Model (FEM) and Generalized Least Squares (GLS) correction was employed to address heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation issues. The results indicate that leverage has a significant negative effect on profitability, confirming the relevance of the Trade-Off Theory in the Indonesian capital market context. Moreover, firm size strengthens this negative relationship, while sales growth moderates it positively. These findings provide new insights into how financial structure decisions affect performance among large and liquid firms in emerging markets. The study contributes to financial management literature by validating classical capital structure theories within Indonesia’s dynamic market environment.

The Effect of Enterprise Risk Management Based on Iso 31000 Company Performance According to An Islamic Business Perspective (Study on Pt Pln Nusantara Power up Tarahan)
The electricity sector faces significant challenges related to operational risks, efficiency, and energy supply reliability. This situation demands an integrated and sustainable risk management system. PT PLN Nusantara Power UP Tarahan, as one of the power generation units in Sumatra, has a high urgency to strengthen its risk governance system through the implementation of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) based on ISO 31000. In addition, the application of Islamic Business Values such as trustworthiness (amanah), honesty (shiddiq), and justice (‘adl) is expected to enhance integrity and ethical culture within the organization. This study aims to analyze the effect of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) based on ISO 31000 on Corporate Performance, as well as to examine its implementation from an Islamic Business Perspective at PT PLN Nusantara Power UP Tarahan. The research employed a quantitative explanatory approach involving 31 respondents selected through purposive sampling, supported by interviews with the Quality, Risk, and Compliance Management Department. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results indicate that all constructs were valid and reliable, with outer loading values > 0.70, Cronbach’s Alpha ranging from 0.781 to 0.951, Composite Reliability from 0.872 to 0.962, and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) from 0.620 to 0.836. Empirically, Enterprise Risk Management has a positive and significant effect on Corporate Performance (T-statistics > 1.96; P-value < 0.05). ISO 31000 has a positive and significant impact on ERM, but it does not have a direct effect on Corporate Performance. In contrast, the Islamic Business Perspective has a positive but insignificant effect on Corporate Performance

Employer Branding and Person-Organization Fit in Building Career Intention Gen Z
This study aims to examine the effect of Employer Branding and Person-Organization Fit on Career Intention of Digital Business Study Program students at Jember State Polytechnic. This research uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory method. The research sample amounted to 72 students selected through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a closed questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that simultaneously, Employer Branding and Person-Organization Fit had a significant effect on Career Intention (p < 0.05), but partially only Person-Organization Fit had a significant effect. The Person-Organization Fit variable has a dominant influence, while Employer Branding does not show a significant influence individually. In conclusion, value fit between individuals and organizations is a key factor in shaping students' career intentions.

The Influence of Customer Experience and Brand Awareness on Customer Loyalty of the Muslim Fashion Brand Rabbani with Customer Retention as a Mediating Variable
This study addresses inconsistent findings in previous research by analyzing the influence of customer experience and brand awareness on customer loyalty toward the Muslim fashion brand Rabbani, with customer retention as a mediating variable, grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework. A quantitative survey of 257 Rabbani customers in Tasikmalaya, Indonesia, was conducted using purposive sampling based on specific criteria: residing in Tasikmalaya, having monthly income, and purchasing Rabbani products at least once within the past year. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that customer experience demonstrates the strongest influence on customer retention (β = 0.517; T = 7.631; P = 0.000) and customer loyalty (β = 0.263; T = 3.816; P = 0.000). Brand awareness significantly affects customer retention (β = 0.328; T = 3.782; P = 0.000) but shows no direct effect on customer loyalty (β = 0.132; T = 1.373; P = 0.170). However, the effect becomes significant through full mediation of customer retention (β = 0.166; T = 2.886; P = 0.004). These findings validate the applicability of the S-O-R model in Muslim fashion contexts and resolve theoretical inconsistencies regarding brand awareness effects on loyalty. The results suggest that Rabbani should prioritize service excellence, implement retention-focused loyalty programs, and shift marketing resources from awareness campaigns toward personalized customer relationship management initiatives to reverse declining Top Brand Index performance and strengthen brand competitiveness in Indonesia's growing Muslim fashion market.

The Effect of Product Quality and Price Perception on Purchase Decision-Making Process Mediated by Brand Image in EdTech Start-Up
The quick development of digital technology has changed consumer behavior and sped up the expansion of Indonesian educational technology (EdTech) platforms. Among these, one of the digital training platforms is crucial for enhancing digital proficiency. With brand image acting as a mediating variable, this study attempts to investigate how product quality and price perception affect the decision to buy. 205 respondents, who were both participants and alumni of Dibimbing's bootcamp programs, participated in a quantitative study that used a convenience sample strategy. The findings reveal that the purchase decision-making process is positively and significantly impacted by both price perception (β = 0.214; p < 0.000) and product quality (β = 0.397; p < 0.000). Moreover, The impacts of Price Perception (indirect effect β = 0.123; p < 0.000) and Product Quality (indirect effect β = 0.183; p < 0.000) on the Purchase Decision-Making Process are considerably mediated by Brand Image. The direct effect of Product Quality remains stronger than the mediated one, suggesting that perceived quality is the dominant factor influencing purchasing behavior in EdTech contexts. These results highlight the strategic importance of enhancing product quality, implementing value-driven pricing, and strengthening brand image through testimonials and digital innovation to improve users’ purchasing decisions

Governance and Sustainability in the Local Context: An Interpretative Study of BUMDes in Banten
Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in Indonesia are mandated to implement good governance principles and advance sustainable development. However, understanding how governance and sustainability operate in local contexts remains limited. This qualitative interpretive study examined governance and sustainability practices across five purposively selected BUMDes in Banten Province. The research employed multiple case study design with data collected through ten semi-structured in-depth interviews with BUMDes managers, village officials, and community leaders, combined with document analysis of strategic plans, governance reports, and financial records from 2022 through 2025. Interview and documentary data were analyzed using thematic analysis methodology employing systematic coding, theme development, data triangulation, and reflexive interpretation to ensure analytical credibility and dependability. The findings reveal four critical themes. First, BUMDes governance operates through dynamic duality where formal structures provide legitimacy while informal networks grounded in kinship relations exert preponderant influence over actual decision-making. Second, sustainability is interpreted adaptively, emphasizing short-term economic survival despite embedded social and environmental commitments rooted in local values. Third, persistent tensions exist between organizational efficiency imperatives and stakeholder inclusivity, resulting in marginalization of women and youth. Fourth, social capital encompassing trust and community cohesion functions as critical institutional buffer enabling organizational resilience during crises. The research concludes that governance and sustainability in BUMDes represent ongoing navigation processes between competing institutional imperatives rather than matters of simple regulatory compliance. Governance requires contextually adaptive approaches recognizing informal mechanisms as legitimate institutional contributions deserving deliberate strengthening. Support programs should emphasize social capital cultivation alongside technical skill development and facilitate dialogue between formal and informal governance systems to enhance organizational capacity and institutional sustainability

The Influence of Islamic Store Atmosphere, Service Quality and Digital Marketing on Consumer Purchase Decisions
This study aims to analyze the extent to which the store atmosphere characterized by Islamic values, service quality, and digital marketing strategies influences consumers' purchasing decisions at Foresthree Coffee Shop. The background of this study is based on the rapid growth of the coffee shop industry and the shift in consumer tastes that now prioritize a comprehensive experience not only on the taste of coffee, but also the comfort of space, quality of service, and digital interaction. A quantitative approach was applied in this study using a survey method of 460 respondents from five favorite coffee shops in Bukittinggi City. The collected data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The findings of the study show that the three variables of the Islamic atmosphere, service quality, and digital marketing have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. The presence of Islamic elements in store design fosters a sense of comfort and increases the confidence of Muslim consumers (β = 0.232; p = 0.000). On the other hand, responsive and friendly service strengthens the level of customer satisfaction (β = 0.268; p = 0.000). The digital marketing strategy through social media and online platforms has proven to be effective in expanding brand reach and strengthening relationships with consumers (β = 0.130; p = 0.007). Overall, these three factors contributed 23.1 percent to the purchase decision variable (R²= 0.231). Based on these results, business actors are advised to integrate Islamic elements into the concept and atmosphere of the store, maintain and improve the quality of service consistently, and optimize the use of digital channels to strengthen customer loyalty

Public Perception of the Accountability of the Genteng Wetan Village Government's Financial Reports
This study aims to understand in-depth how the community interprets the accountability of village government financial reports in Genteng Wetan Village, Genteng District, Banyuwangi Regency. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, where informants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. A total of 12 informants were involved, including the village head, village secretary, treasurer, BPD members, community leaders, and village residents. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis such as village budget reports and village meeting minutes. The research results show that village governments have attempted to implement transparency through the publication of financial reports, but most residents do not understand the content and meaning of these reports due to limited financial literacy. Citizen participation in accountability forums is also low and tends to be symbolic. This finding confirms that the success of public accountability is not only determined by the availability of reports, but also by the public's ability to understand the information and engage in the oversight process. This study suggests that village governments increase the dissemination of financial reports in simple language, expand citizen participation, and optimize the use of the Village Financial System (Siskeudes) as a means of transparency.

Annesang (Muzara'ah) Based on Maslahah and CIBEST in Improving Farmer Welfare in Bulukumba Regency
This study focuses on the implementation of the Annesang (Muzara'ah) system based on the Maslahah concept to improve the welfare of farmers in Batulohe Village, Bulukumpa District, Bulukumba Regency. The phenomenon of profit-sharing cooperation between landowners and rice farmers is important because of income inequality and the risk of injustice in the distribution of harvests, and highlights the spiritual aspect that has so far received little attention. This study uses a qualitative phenomenological approach with observation methods, in-depth interviews, questionnaires, and documentation of 30 farmers. The CIBEST (Center of Islamic Business and Economic Studies) model is used as a multidimensional measuring tool that assesses welfare and poverty from a comprehensive material and spiritual aspect. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Maslahah-based Annesang (Muzara'ah) system and the CIBEST model significantly improved the welfare index of farmers in Batulohe Village, particularly in terms of higher income, economic resilience, spiritual satisfaction, and a more balanced quality of life. Challenges encountered included the implementation of oral contracts, unclear capital participation, and risk management that requires a more professional and legal approach. The implications of the study emphasize the importance of strengthening the Maslahah-based Annesang system as a model for fair, sustainable agricultural cooperation, and integrating the spiritual values ​​of agrarian communities. The CIBEST model is recommended as a holistic welfare evaluation instrument that facilitates the formulation of integrated economic and socio-spiritual intervention policies and programs. Regulatory support, facilitation of contract legalization, farmer capacity building, and legal protection by the government and related institutions are expected to ensure that this profit-sharing practice runs effectively, transparently, and is able to improve the welfare of the community as a whole

Good Corporate Governance Mediates The Effect of Taxes on Transfer Pricing In Creating a GOLD Indonesia 2045
Transfer pricing (TP) practices by multinational corporations (MNCs) are a crucial issue in tax administration that has the potential to reduce the domestic tax base, a significant threat to state revenue collection efforts needed to realize Indonesia Emas 2045. This study aims to examine the mediating role of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) in the relationship between taxes (proxied by tax rates) and corporate decisions to conduct transfer pricing . Based on Agency Theory , differences in interests between principals (owners/tax authorities) and agents (management) can encourage aggressive TP practices aimed at minimizing tax burdens. GCG, through principles such as transparency, accountability, and independence, is expected to act as an effective internal and external monitoring mechanism . The proposed research method is a quantitative approach with path analysis on data from MNC companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during a certain period. The expected results are to prove that GCG not only weakens the tax incentives for aggressive TP (moderation role), but also forms a more responsible channel in determining transfer prices that is in line with the Arm's Length Principle . These findings will emphasize that the synergy between strict tax regulations and strong GCG implementation is key to ensuring sustainable tax compliance, creating a healthy investment climate, and supporting state financial accountability which is vital for achieving Indonesia's long-term development vision.

Halal Supply Chain Management: An Analysis of Decision-Making factors at Ngebum Beach in Kendal
purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the factors causing the decline in the number of visitors to Ngebum Beach in Kendal Regency. Furthermore, the researcher will implement Halal Supply Chain Management in the tourism industry by applying the concept of halal tourism at Ngebum Beach in Kendal. The researcher will then analyze whether the implementation of halal supply chain management in the field of halal tourism can be one of the factors that attract tourists to visit Ngebum Beach.Methods: The research method used was qualitative research with a ground theory approach. The data collection techniques used were reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The data analysis technique used was data triangulation.. Results: The results of the study show that the factor causing the decline in the number of visitors to Ngebum Beach after it became a trending topic was that visitors were no longer curious about Tiram Bakar.

The Influence of Return on Assets (ROA), Total Assets Turnover (TATO), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Earnings per Share (EPS) on Stock Returns: A Case Study of the Oil and Gas Industry Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019–2023 Period
One of the main considerations for investors in the capital market is obtaining an optimal stock return, as stock returns reflect market perceptions of a company’s performance and future prospects. This study aims to examine how Return on Assets (ROA), Total Assets Turnover (TATO), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Earnings per Share (EPS) influence stock returns in oil and gas companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2019–2023 period. A quantitative method with a descriptive approach was applied. The research population consisted of oil and gas companies registered on the exchange within the specified period. Using a purposive sampling technique, 16 companies met the criteria, producing a total of 80 observational data points. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression through EViews 12. The findings indicate that ROA, TATO, DER, and EPS jointly have a significant effect on stock returns. However, in the partial analysis, only ROA demonstrates a positive and significant influence on stock returns, while TATO, DER, and EPS do not show significant effects. These results highlight that profitability, as represented by ROA, plays a more dominant role in determining stock return movements in the oil and gas sector

The Role of Digital Transformation in Strengthening Indonesia’s Sharia Capital Market
This study aims to analyze the digital transformation of Sharia capital market services in Islamic banking institutions, focusing on their opportunities, challenges, and implications for customer perceptions. The research employs a systematic literature review (SLR) approach to synthesize national and international scholarly publications from 2015 to 2025 that discuss the digitalization of Islamic financial institutions. The findings indicate that digital transformation has improved operational efficiency, inclusiveness, and transparency in Sharia-based investment activities through the adoption of innovations such as mobile banking, Islamic mutual funds, sukuk, and Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS). However, the transformation process still encounters several obstacles, including cybersecurity risks, limited human resource capacity, low levels of financial literacy, and a regulatory framework that has not fully adapted to technological progress. Furthermore, customer perceptions of digital Sharia services are shaped by perceived usefulness, ease of use, service quality, and the assurance of Sharia compliance, all of which influence customer trust and loyalty. The study concludes that the effectiveness of digital transformation in Islamic banking depends on the synergy between technological innovation, adaptive regulation, financial literacy enhancement, and adherence to maqasid al-shariah principles to reinforce the role of the Islamic capital market in achieving an inclusive and sustainable Islamic financial ecosystem.

Loyalty, Satisfaction, and Performance: Do We Really Need Training as a Mediator?
This study aims to examine the influence of loyalty and job satisfaction on employee performance and to analyze the mediating role of human resource training at CV Putra Mahkota. Using a quantitative explanatory design, all 65 employees were surveyed through questionnaires and the data were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The findings show that loyalty and job satisfaction positively and significantly affect both employee performance and human resource training, and that training itself significantly improves performance. However, human resource training does not mediate the effects of loyalty or job satisfaction on performance. These results imply that organizations should strengthen direct strategies to enhance employee loyalty and job satisfaction, while improving training programs to ensure they are more structured, continuous, and aligned with performance needs, offering valuable direction for future research and managerial practice.

Moral Dilemma Of Sellers In The Practice Of Manipulation Of Institutional Purchase Transaction Notes From The Perspective Of Islamic Business Ethics
This study examines the moral dilemma experienced by household furniture store sellers when facing requests for invoice manipulation from institutional buyers. This phenomenon is rarely discussed despite reflecting the conflict between economic interests and ethical responsibility in institutional transactions. The research aims to explain the forms of moral dilemma faced by sellers, how sellers interpret and respond to these dilemmas, and the application of Islamic business ethics principles as a resolution framework. A qualitative approach with phenomenological design was employed to understand the subjective experiences of sellers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observation with household furniture store owners in Kecipir, Palangka Raya who serve institutional purchases. Findings reveal three patterns of invoice manipulation: price increases exceeding actual transactions, provision of blank stamped invoices, and addition of fictitious items. Sellers experience internal conflict between maintaining integrity and retaining regular customers as stable income sources. These practices violate the principles of amanah, shiddiq, justice, and tabligh in Islamic business ethics. The root cause lies in structural injustice characterized by the absence of employee compensation policies and weak internal control systems in institutions. The study concludes that strengthening spiritual awareness, establishing fair compensation policies, improving audit systems, and implementing strict sanctions are necessary to address this moral dilemma. The findings contribute to developing the concept of moral dilemma in Islamic business ethics, particularly in the context of institutional transactions that have been rarely examined previously.

Background: The Indonesian cosmetics industry faces intense competition, with Sariayu experiencing declining market share from 15% in 2020 to 8.9% in 2024, indicating weakened consumer loyalty. Purpose: This study examines the mediating role of brand love in the relationship between brand trust and consumer loyalty toward Sariayu facial mask products. Methods: A quantitative explanatory design was employed with purposive sampling of 150 University of Mataram students aged 18-25 years with minimum twice product usage. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results: Brand trust significantly influenced brand love (β = 0.785, p < 0.001). Both brand trust (β = 0.661, p < 0.001) and brand love (β = 0.230, p = 0.009) positively affected consumer loyalty. Brand love partially mediated the trust-loyalty relationship, indicating emotional bonds amplify trust effects on loyalty. Conclusion: Brand love functions as a significant mediator between brand trust and consumer loyalty, emphasizing the importance of cultivating both cognitive trust and affective commitment in building sustainable loyalty for local cosmetic brands. These findings validate theoretical frameworks while extending applicability to the Indonesian halal cosmetics industry.

The Role of Management Accounting in Determining Dui'menre'in Bugis Traditional Wedding Traditions
This research examines the shift in meaning of dui' menre' in Bugis society from a traditional symbol to a socio-economic burden. This tradition has serious consequences, including delayed marriage and elopement (silariang; Bugis), due to its often irrational nominal value and the pressure to maintain prestige. Through a qualitative approach, this study finds tension between the traditional meaning of dui' menre' as a marker of self-esteem (siri') and the financial reality of the younger generation, exacerbated by the gap with the principle of simplicity in Islam. As a solution, this study offers an alternative perspective by rationalizing its determination through a management accounting framework. Dui' menre' is analyzed as a project cost (wedding party) that requires strategic planning. The proposed framework combines target costing to set minimum costs based on real budgets, value-based pricing to calculate honor premiums fairly, and cost control mechanisms to ensure accountability. Thus, this study not only contributes academically by expanding the application of management accounting to the cultural realm, but also provides a practical framework for communities and traditional leaders to balance the preservation of traditions with financial sustainability and the alignment of Islamic values.

Examining the Value of Gratitude in Determining Selling Prices
This study attempts to explore and uncover the meaning of determining the selling price of fish traders.This study uses phenomenology as a method with data collection through interviews and documentation. The study shows that fish traders tend to ignore the calculation of the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). The values ​​of gratitude and love expressed in the COGS are used as the basis for determining the selling price of fish. The low selling price of fish for informants is conceptualized as a "feeling" of mutual love for others. Several non-material aspects underlie the neglect of COGS, such as the attitude of fish traders and collectors who often express gratitude for the results of fish sales. The implied gratitude illustrates the neglect of the cost aspect in COGS in determining the selling price. This study reveals the phenomenon of determining COGS and fish selling prices for fish traders.

Accounting Analysis of Sharia Based Financing in the Selin Karya Murni MSME (Descriptive Qualitative Study)
This research aims to understand the meaning of accounting for installment sales financing under the sharia system in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) at Selin Karya Murni. Using a qualitative approach with an ethnomethodological framework, through analysis of indexicality, reflexivity, and shared understanding. This research collects data through interviews, observations, and company documents, then compares it with the Al-Qur'an and Hadith to assess its conformity with sharia principles. The research results show that the implementation of sharia financing at Selin Karya Murni emphasizes contract transparency, no interest, and fairness for both parties, thereby providing convenience for consumers without late fees and aligning with Islamic economic values. This research enriches the discourse on sharia accounting practices at the MSME level, provides practical guidance for business actors who wish to implement sharia-based financing, and theoretically develops Islamic accounting by connecting ethnomethodological findings with Islamic law. The limitation of the research lies in its focus on a single case study of MSMEs, which limits generalizability. It is recommended that further research involve more MSMEs to make the results more representative.

Mental Value Added and Sharia Value Added: Phenomenological Reflection of the Meaning of Zakat as Altruistic Behavior
This study aims to deeply uncover the meaning of zakat for companies, particularly in the context of zakat as mental value added and as part of the Sharia Value Added (SVA) concept. Departing from an interpretive paradigm with a phenomenological approach, this study examines how business actors interpret zakat not only as a sharia obligation, but also as altruistic behavior that contributes to mental, spiritual, and social well-being. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of company leaders and employees who consistently pay zakat. The results show that zakat is interpreted as a voluntary act of helping others, which brings a sense of joy, pride, and satisfaction to those who do it. Informants feel that zakat functions not only as a distribution of wealth, but also as a means of purifying the soul, strengthening humanitarian values, and forming inner peace. This sense of satisfaction arises from the awareness that some of the wealth owned is the right of others.

Development Of Integrated Transportation System To Enhance Inter-District Connectivity In Jayawijaya Regency
Transportation plays a central role in supporting regional development, particularly in areas with challenging geographical conditions such as Jayawijaya Regency in the Papua Mountains Province. To date, approximately 45% of the 27 districts in Jayawijaya still face isolation due to poor road infrastructure. This condition directly impacts community access to markets, public services, and the distribution of goods and services. This study aims to design an integrated transportation system that can improve connectivity between districts by considering local geographical conditions. The method used combines Geographic Information System (GIS) for road network mapping, Integrated Rural Accessibility Planning (IRAP) for priority route planning, and Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to analyze the causal relationship between infrastructure quality, connectivity, economic accessibility, and local economic growth. The results of the GIS analysis show significant disparities between districts, with most road networks in poor to very poor condition. The SEM-PLS tabulation data proves that infrastructure quality (X1) has a significant effect on economic accessibility (X3) and economic growth (Y), while connectivity (X2) has no direct effect on growth. The mediation pathway X1→X3→Y proved significant, emphasizing the crucial role of infrastructure as a key factor in development. This study confirms that improving the quality of transportation infrastructure, followed by a strategy for integrating transportation services, is a strategic step to encourage sustainable economic growth in Jayawijaya, particularly in the agriculture, trade, and tourism sectors.

The Relevance of Ibn Tufail's Economic Theory to Modern Economic Thought: A Critical Analysis of the Concept of Rationality and Its Implications for Islamic Economic Development
The purpose of this study is to analyze the relevance of Ibn Tufail's theory of rationality in Hayy ibn Yaqzan to modern economic thought and its implications for Islamic economic development. This study uses a qualitative method based on a philosophical literature review. This study highlights two main aspects the epistemology of rationality, which emphasizes the independence of reason and empirical experience, and the spiritual ethics of economics, which balances the material and moral dimensions. The results of the study indicate that Ibn Tufail's rationality differs from the purely utility oriented homo economicus. Ibn Tufail offers an integrative rationality that unites reason, ethics, and spirituality, positioning humans as socially and divinely responsible caliphs. The implications of this study can be the basis for formulating Islamic economic policies that are just, sustainable, and oriented towards maqasid al-shariah. This study also recommends further research to develop a model of Islamic rationality in public policy and contemporary economic practice.

Understanding Profit from the Perspective of Women Daily Cake Sellers
This study aims to uncover the meaning of profit from the perspective of home-based cake sellers in Rappocini District, Makassar, as household-based micro-enterprises who play dual roles in the family economy. Using an interpretive phenomenological approach and The Cultural Shaping of Accounting framework, this study explores how life experiences, cultural values, and domestic conditions shape the meaning of profit beyond formal accounting concepts. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, then analyzed using NVivo 12. The results of the study revealed five main themes of profit meaning, namely: as a means of fulfilling daily food needs, financing children's education, household needs, savings to face uncertainty, and as working capital for business sustainability. These findings indicate that profit is understood as a source of welfare, security, and family stability and links the household economy and business economy. This study contributes to the development of accounting studies with a cultural and gender perspective, and provides implications for mentoring MSMEs in the social behavior of micro enterprises.

From Brand Credibility to Skincare Purchase Intention: The Mediating Role of Fear of Missing Out in E-Commerce
This study aims to analyze how brand credibility influences skincare purchase intention among Gen Z consumers using e-commerce platforms and examine the mediating role of fear of missing out (FoMO). Four hypotheses are proposed: brand credibility positively influences FoMO and purchase intention, FoMO positively influences purchase intention, and FoMO mediates the relationship between brand credibility and purchase intention. This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design with an online survey of 285 Gen Z consumers in Indonesia who had searched for or purchased local skincare products through e-commerce platforms. Respondents were selected using non-probability purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Brand credibility, FoMO, and skincare purchase intention were measured using an adapted multi-item Likert scale, and the data were analyzed using PLS-SEM, including evaluation of the measurement model and structural model. The results indicate that brand credibility increases FoMO and directly strengthens purchase intention. At the same time, FoMO is the strongest predictor of skincare purchase intention and partially mediates the effect of brand credibility on purchase intention. These findings indicate that brand credibility in the context of social commerce not only serves as a rational signal that reduces risk but also as a FoMO trigger that accelerates purchase intention

Profitability, Liquidity, and Activity on Financial Perfomance with Firm Value as a Mediating Variable
This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, liquidity, and activity on financial performance with firm value as a mediating variable in food and beverage manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2021-2024 period. The research method used is panel data regression, classical assumption test, and Sobel test using the Random Effect Model and Common Effect Model approaches. The results of this study indicate that profitability (ROA) does not significantly affect financial performance (DER) and firm value (PBV), while liquidity (CR) has a significant negative effect on financial performance, indicating that companies with high liquidity tend to use less debt in their funding structure because they have a good ability to meet short-term obligations using their current assets. However, liquidity (CR) does not significantly affect firm value (PBV). Activity (TATO) does not affect financial performance (DER), but activity (TATO) has a significant positive effect on firm value (PBV). Firm value (PBV) has a significant positive effect on financial performance (DER). The Sobel test results indicate that firm value (PBV) is unable to mediate profitability, liquidity, and activity on financial performance.

Analysis of the Application of Signal in Motor Vehicle Tax Payment at UPT Samsat Bangkinang
This study analyzes the implementation of the SIGNAL (National Digital Samsat) application for Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) payments at the UPT Samsat Bangkinang. Using a descriptive qualitative method with SWOT analysis, the research identifies internal and external factors. The results show that the strategic position lies in Quadrant II (WO Strategy), indicating significant opportunities amid internal weaknesses. The main strength is practicality and efficiency, supported by the Indonesian National Police (Korlantas). However, notable weaknesses include limited socialization budgets, lack of trained human resources, and insufficient digital promotion. Opportunities arise from the growing trend of digitalization in public services. The recommended WO strategy focuses on allocating funds for socialization, improving human resource capacity through training, and optimizing social media for public education. These efforts are expected to enhance the effectiveness of SIGNAL implementation and increase taxpayer participation in online services.

Unlocking Sustainable Firm Performance: The Influence of Sustainability Reporting, Green Accounting, and Intellectual Capital
Companies play an important role in driving national economic growth, however, their operational activities may also pose environmental risks. This study aims to examine the influence of sustainability reporting, green accounting, and intellectual capital on the performance of basic materials companies listed on the IDX during 2021–2024. A quantitative approach was employed using secondary data obtained from annual and sustainability reports. From a population of 110 companies, 16 firms were selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS 31. The results show that sustainability reporting, Value Added Capital Employed (VACA), and Value Added Human Capital (VAHU) exert a positive and significant influence on firm performance, while green accounting and Structural Capital Value Added (STVA) have no significant influence. Furthermore, the three independent variables simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on firm performance. These findings suggest that enhancing the quality of sustainability disclosures and optimizing intellectual capital, particularly financial and human resources, may strengthen firm performance.

Governance, Risk and Compliance in a Cutting-edge Perspective: Empirical Synthesis, Theoretical Gaps and Research Agendas
This study aims to comprehensively examine the development of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) studies during the period 2013–2025 and identify inconsistencies in empirical findings, methodological fragmentation, and future research opportunities in the context of modern governance. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach and thematic analysis, the study examined dozens of reputable articles from various international databases, including Scopus, ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar. Literature selection was carried out through the PRISMA procedure, followed by the process of open coding, thematic synthesis, and mapping of the evolution trends of GRC research. The results show that the GRC literature is still fragmented and has not produced consistent conclusions about the influence of GRC on company performance and value. Empirical evidence shows that the results vary due to differences in GRC measurement instruments, unequal industry contexts, and inequality in the maturity level of GRC implementation across different organizations. Another important finding suggests that the integration of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is still very limited, although these themes are increasingly relevant in modern corporate governance. This research contributes to formulating seven main research gaps and offers a future research agenda, including the development of the GRC Maturity Index, the Digital GRC Capability Model, conceptual integration of GRC–ESG, as well as the need for qualitative and mixed-methods approaches to understand the dynamics of GRC implementation in a more contextual and in-depth manner. These findings make an important theoretical contribution to strengthening the conceptual foundations of GRC as well as practical contributions for organizations looking to improve governance capabilities in the digital and sustainability-oriented era.

Economic Perceptions, Cultural Values, and Supporting Infrastructure as Determinants of Muslim-Friendly Tourism Acceptance: The Moderating Role of Community Resistance in North Toraja
This study aims to examine the influence of economic perception, cultural values, and supporting infrastructure on the acceptance of Muslim-Friendly Tourism, with community resistance serving as a moderating variable in North Toraja Regency. Using a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the research analyzes questionnaire data from local respondents. The results show that economic perception (T = 2.105; p = 0.029), cultural values (T = 2.086; p = 0.037), and supporting infrastructure (T = 3.780; p = 0.000) significantly affect tourism acceptance. Community resistance moderates these relationships by weakening the effects of economic perception (T = 2.288; p = 0.004) and cultural values (T = 2.671; p = 0.015), while strengthening the positive influence of supporting infrastructure (T = 2.027; p = 0.005). Overall, the findings highlight that acceptance of Muslim-Friendly Tourism in non-Muslim regions is shaped not only by economic benefits, cultural norms, and facility availability, but also by the ability to manage community resistance so that tourism initiatives remain aligned with local identity and cultural values.

The Role and Contribution of Islamic Economic Thought to the Development of Modern Economics
This study aims to analyze the influence and contribution of Islamic economic thought on the development of modern economics from theoretical, practical, and philosophical aspects. The research method used is descriptive qualitative through library research, by reviewing classical and contemporary literature relevant to Islamic economic theory, its historical development, and its application in the global economic context. The results of the study indicate that Islamic economic thought plays a significant role in forming the foundation of modern economic theory through the concept of equitable wealth distribution, stable and inclusive Islamic financial principles, and the application of business ethics based on the values of honesty, justice, and social responsibility. In addition, Islamic economic instruments such as zakat, waqf, sukuk, and microfinance institutions have proven effective in addressing inequality, increasing financial inclusion, and promoting sustainable development. These findings emphasize that the integration of Islamic values in the global economic system is not merely a normative alternative, but a strategic necessity in creating a just, inclusive, sustainable, and welfare-oriented economic order.

Enhancing Investment Intention through Return and Risk: The Role of Financial Technology Among Millennial Generation
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the influence of perceived risk and perceived return on investment interest among Indonesian millennials, and to examine whether fintech moderates the relationship between perceived risk and investment interest. The research focuses on millennial employees of PT Brantas Abipraya as the target population. Methods: An explanatory quantitative design was applied using path analysis with SEM PLS. The study involved 170 millennial respondents selected from PT Brantas Abipraya. The research instrument measured investment interest, fintech, perceived risk, and perceived return, adapted from validated constructs in previous studies. Key features of the analysis included model measurement, structural assessment, and evaluation of the moderating effect of fintech. Results: The findings indicate that perceived risk negatively affects investment interest, while perceived return shows a significant positive effect. The moderating influence of fintech on the relationship between perceived risk and investment interest was found to be insignificant. The results highlight that perceptions of risk and return remain the primary drivers of investment decisions, regardless of fintech adoption. Implications: The study suggests the need to strengthen financial literacy and reduce perceived risk, particularly through fintech platforms, to enhance capital market participation among the younger generation. Further research should examine external determinants of investment behavior and incorporate longitudinal approaches to capture changes over time in investment interest

Karl Marx's Socialist Economic Perspective Compared To Umar Bin Abdul Aziz's Islamic Economic Thoughts On Social Justice
The concept of social justice in societal development. Karl Marx, through his socialist economic theory, highlighted the inequality born of the capitalist system, while Umar bin Abdul Aziz, in the Islamic economic tradition, emphasized the principle of equitable distribution of wealth based on sharia values. This study aims to compare the thoughts of Karl Marx and Umar bin Abdul Aziz from a social justice perspective, while identifying common ground and conceptual differences between the two. The study employed a qualitative approach through library research. The analysis was conducted using a comparative-descriptive method. The analysis shows that Karl Marx rejected capitalism because it resulted in class exploitation and proposed the abolition of private ownership of the means of production in order to create a classless society. In contrast, Umar bin Abdul Aziz maintained the recognition of individual ownership but emphasized distributive justice through zakat, taxes, and redistribution policies. The similarities between the two lie in the goal of creating social justice, but fundamentally different in their ideological foundations: Marx's origins stem from historical materialism, while Umar bin Abdul Aziz's is based on monotheism and Islamic law. This comparison of the thoughts of Karl Marx and Umar bin Abdul Aziz demonstrates that social justice can be understood from both secular and religious perspectives. Marx's thought offers a structural critique of capitalism, while Umar bin Abdul Aziz presents solutions rooted in moral and religious values. Both make important contributions to contemporary social justice discourse

Implementation of Baznas RI Decree Number 1 of 2024 Concerning the Nisab of Income Zakat and Its Impact on Civil Servant Compliance
The Decree of the Chairman of BAZNAS RI Number 1 of 2024 provides clear guidance on the provisions and procedures for calculating zakat on income and services, with the hope of increasing awareness and compliance among State Civil Apparatus (ASN). This study focuses on analyzing the implementation of this decree at BAZNAS RI and evaluating its impact on the compliance of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in paying zakat on income and services. In conducting this research, the author used a field research method with a qualitative research type in the form of a case study with an empirical juridical (socio-legal) approach. The results of the study show that: First, the Decree of the Chairman of BAZNAS RI No. 1 of 2024 stipulates zakat on income with a nisab of 85 grams of gold and a level of 2.5% of gross income. This decree uses the qiyas syabah approach which combines the principles of gold zakat (nisab and level) with agricultural zakat (payment time). Second, the Implementation of the Decree of the Chairman of BAZNAS RI No. 1 of 2024 was carried out with three approaches, namely: (1) Implementation of the Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) strategy by combining the Above The Line (ATL) and Below The Line (BTL) approaches, (2) segmentation of prospective muzakki, (3) establishing cooperation with the National Zakat Collection Institution (LAZNAS). Third, the Implementation of the Decree of the Chairman of BAZNAS No. 1 of 2024 has had a significant impact on the collection of income and service zakat. This is indicated by a 20.62% increase in BAZNAS's zakat maal collection in the first semester of 2024.
