Transforming Challenges Into Opportunities: The Role Of Accounting Systems And Technology In MSME Performance Post-COVID-19, Enhanced By Market Innovation

Benny Oktaviano, Dian Sulistyorini Wulandari
Abstract: This research explores the impact of technology adoption on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the post-COVID-19 landscape, with a particular focus on the moderating role of market innovation.… ion. Utilizing a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, data was collected from MSMEs to evaluate the relationships among technology adoption, market innovation, and business performance. The findings reveal that technology adoption has a significant positive effect on MSME performance, contributing to operational efficiency and improved customer engagement. However, contrary to expectations, market innovation does not significantly moderate this relationship. This suggests that the immediate benefits of technology adoption are sufficient to drive performance improvements without the need for market innovation to enhance these effects. The research highlights the importance for MSMEs to prioritize technology adoption as a strategy for resilience and growth in the wake of the pandemic, while market innovation can be pursued as a complementary initiative for long-term competitiveness. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to support the recovery and development of MSMEs in Indonesia.

Edi Triwibowo, Dian Sulistyorini Wulandari, Titi Nandarwati
Abstract: This study investigates the factors influencing Individual Taxpayer Compliance in Indonesia, focusing on Tax Service Quality, Social Engagement and Education, and the moderating role of Information Technology. The findings… gs reveal that Tax Service Quality does not significantly impact taxpayer compliance, suggesting that improvements in service quality alone may not suffice to enhance compliance levels. In contrast, Social Engagement and Education are significant factors that positively influence taxpayer compliance, indicating the effectiveness of educational initiatives and community involvement in fostering compliance behavior. Furthermore, information technology has been found to have no significant moderating effect on the relationship between tax service quality or social engagement, education, or taxpayer compliance. These results underscore the importance of prioritizing social engagement and educational strategies while recognizing that technology should be integrated as a complementary tool to improve compliance outcomes. A balanced approach combining these elements is essential for fostering a more compliant taxpayer environment in Indonesia.

Sampel… el penelitian terdiri dari 87 perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) periode 2020–2024, dipilih menggunakan metode purposive sampling, sehingga diperoleh 435 unit observasi. Pengungkapan CSR diukur menggunakan indeks GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) G4, nilai perusahaan diukur dengan Tobin's Q, dan profitabilitas diproksikan dengan Return on Assets (ROA). Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah regresi moderasi (Moderated Regression Analysis/MRA) dengan data panel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengungkapan CSR berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap nilai perusahaan. Profitabilitas terbukti memperkuat (memoderasi secara positif) hubungan antara pengungkapan CSR dan nilai perusahaan.

Abstract: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh pengungkapan akuntansi lingkungan terhadap kinerja keuangan perusahaan pertambangan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) periode 2019–2023. Variabel independen&#8230; en yang digunakan adalah Environmental Disclosure Score (EDS) yang dikonstruksi berdasarkan Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, sementara kinerja keuangan diukur menggunakan Return on Assets (ROA) dan Return on Equity (ROE). Leverage, ukuran perusahaan, dan umur perusahaan digunakan sebagai variabel kontrol.

Data dianalisis menggunakan regresi data panel dengan pendekatan Fixed Effect Model (FEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengungkapan akuntansi lingkungan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap ROA (β = 0,124; p < 0,01) dan ROE (β = 0,187; p < 0,05). Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa perusahaan yang secara aktif mengungkapkan informasi lingkungan cenderung memiliki kinerja keuangan yang lebih baik, konsisten dengan teori legitimasi dan teori pemangku kepentingan. Implikasi penelitian ini mendorong regulator dan perusahaan untuk meningkatkan standar pelaporan lingkungan sebagai bagian integral dari tata kelola perusahaan yang baik

Nepotism Practices in Recruitment Lead to Declining Performance of Educational Personnel: A Case Study at Bosowa University

Wirawan
Abstract: This study seeks to examine the impact of kinship-based recruiting practices (nepotism) on the reduction in educational staff performance at Bosowa University, with an emphasis on mass recruitment in 2025, which is expected&#8230; ted to include features of nepotism. An explanatory survey design is combined with a quantitative approach in the study methodology. The 107 educational staff members of Bosowa University in 2026 make up the study population, and a complete sampling technique is used. Questionnaires, interviews, observations, and personnel data recording were used to gather data. Descriptive statistics, basic linear regression, and various tests were employed in data analysis. Kinship-based recruitment procedures fall into the top category, according to the study's results (score 4.17). An estimated 52% of the 42 educational employees hired between 2023 and 2025 did so through non-competitive means that included nepotism. The performance of education staff hired prior to 2023 (score 3.70) and those hired between 2023 and 2025 (score 2.31) differs significantly, by 37.6%. 48.3% of the reduction in performance is positively and significantly impacted by family-based recruitment techniques. For education staff hired through non-merit methods, this report suggests implementing a meritocracy system, thorough HR audits, and competency improvement initiatives.
