DIGITAL HEALTH COMPETENCE AND HEALTHCARE SERVICE PERFORMANCE AMONG HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS IN SAUDI ARABIA

Albeah, Ali Mohammed, Hasan, Hafizah Che
Abstract: Digital transformation in healthcare services has significantly changed how healthcare professionals deliver clinical care, particularly in technology-based tertiary hospitals. Digital Health Competence (DHC) has become&#8230; a crucial factor determining service effectiveness, clinical decision quality, and operational efficiency in modern healthcare organizations. This study aims to analyze the influence of digital health competence on healthcare service performance at King Abdullah Medical City (KAMC), Saudi Arabia, with work engagement as a mediating variable and organizational support as a moderating factor. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 312 healthcare professionals at KAMC selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire ranging from 1 to 5 and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings revealed that digital health competence had a positive and significant effect on healthcare service performance (β = 0.412; p < 0.001). Digital competence also significantly influenced work engagement (β = 0.528; p < 0.001), while work engagement mediated the relationship between digital competence and healthcare service performance (β = 0.216; p < 0.001). Furthermore, organizational support strengthened the relationship between digital competence and work engagement. These findings indicate that digital competence not only improves service efficiency and quality but also functions as a psychological resource that enhances healthcare professionals’ motivation and dedication. Practically, the study provides important implications for hospitals in improving healthcare professionals’ digital competence through continuous training, the development of user-friendly digital systems, and adaptive organizational support.

A, Hanan Saad, Alayed, Alayed, Hasan, Hafizah Che
Abstract: Improving the quality of modern healthcare services largely depends on the effectiveness and efficiency of nursing personnel as the frontline providers of patient care. The complex and high-pressure work environment of specialized&#8230; pecialized hospitals requires nurses to cope with emotional demands, heavy workloads, and rapid decision-making in critical situations. These conditions make emotional intelligence one of the important psychological factors influencing nursing performance quality. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence and nursing work efficiency at King Fahad Specialist Hospital – Qassim Cluster, Saudi Arabia, in 2026. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all active nurses working at King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Qassim Health Cluster. A total of 312 nurses were selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Emotional Intelligence Scale and Nursing Work Efficiency Scale, both of which had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4 software. The results revealed that emotional intelligence had a positive and significant effect on nursing work efficiency, with a path coefficient of 0.642, t-statistics of 9.871, and p-value < 0.001. The R-square value of 0.58 indicated that emotional intelligence explained 58% of the variance in nursing work efficiency. Emotional regulation and empathy emerged as the dominant indicators contributing to improved communication quality, clinical decision-making, and patient care effectiveness. This study concludes that emotional intelligence is an important psychological resource in improving nursing work efficiency in specialized hospitals. The findings strengthen the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) Theory and Emotional Intelligence Theory in explaining the relationship between psychological resources and nursing performance. This study is expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of nursing management literature and practical contributions for hospitals in designing healthcare human resource development strategies based on psychological well-being.

Muliansyah, Eko, Ghazy, Muhammad Hashfi Al, Hajaria, Ainul, Nida, Fitrotun, Saputra, Muhammad Rafli, Mush'ab, Mush'ab
Abstract: Micro enterprises in the Keputih area of Surabaya play an important role in supporting local economic activity, particularly through small-scale food, beverage, and daily-consumption businesses. However, many micro-entrepreneurs&#8230; preneurs still face difficulties in managing their finances systematically. Financial records are often kept manually, inconsistently, or based on memory, making it difficult for business owners to clearly identify cash flow, operating costs, profit levels, and business growth potential. This study aims to analyze the financial management practices of micro enterprises in Keputih, Surabaya, identify the main challenges in applying simple accounting, and examine how basic accounting practices contribute to profitability and business sustainability. This research uses a qualitative approach through direct observation and in-depth interviews with micro-enterprise owners from different business sectors in the Keputih area. The findings show that most business owners have not yet implemented formal accounting systems, but simple practices such as recording daily income, separating business and personal funds, calculating basic costs, and monitoring stock can improve financial control and decision-making. The main obstacles include limited accounting knowledge, lack of discipline in record-keeping, and the perception that small businesses do not require structured financial reports. This study highlights the importance of simple accounting as a practical tool for strengthening profitability, financial awareness, and the sustainability of micro enterprises in local urban communities.

QUICK RATIO, DEBT TO ASSET RATIO, AND RETURN ON ASSETS DETERMINING FACTORS ON: FIRM VALUE (PBV)

Pratama, Mohamad Yudiansyah, Dama, Hais, Ishak, Idham Masri
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effect of Quick Ratio (QR), Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), and Return on Assets (ROA) on firm value as measured by Price to Book Value (PBV) in consumer non-cyclical sector companies listed on&#8230; the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. The consumer non-cyclical sector was selected because it consists of companies producing essential goods with relatively stable demand, making it an important sector in the national economy. This research employed a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the annual financial statements of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, resulting in 196 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS software, preceded by classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation tests. The results show that partially, Quick Ratio has no significant effect on firm value, indicating that short-term liquidity is not the main consideration for investors in assessing company value. Debt to Asset Ratio also has no significant effect on firm value, meaning that the level of debt dependence does not directly determine market valuation. Meanwhile, Return on Assets has a positive and significant effect on firm value, indicating that profitability is the main factor influencing investor confidence and market value. Simultaneously, Quick Ratio, Debt to Asset Ratio, and Return on Assets have a significant effect on firm value. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.510 indicates that 51.0% of firm value variation can be explained by the three independent variables, while the remaining 49.0% is explained by other factors outside this study.

Transyah, Chichi Hafifa, Oresti, Syalvia
Abstract: Healthcare service quality is an important factor influencing patient satisfaction, particularly in pediatric nursing services in hospitals. The SERVQUAL model, which includes the dimensions of tangible, reliability, responsiveness,&#8230; ponsiveness, assurance, and empathy, is widely used to evaluate healthcare service quality. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between service quality and pediatric patient satisfaction in the Bung Hatta Inpatient Ward of Tk III Dr. Reksodiwiryo Hospital, Padang. This study employed a quantitative approach with an analytic descriptive design and a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 30 respondents who were parents or guardians of pediatric patients hospitalized for at least three days. Respondents were selected using an accidental sampling technique. Data were collected using a SERVQUAL-based questionnaire with a Likert scale and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents were satisfied with nursing services (80%). Bivariate analysis indicated significant relationships between the tangible (p=0.033), reliability (p=0.049), and assurance (p=0.040) dimensions and pediatric patient satisfaction. However, responsiveness and empathy dimensions were not statistically associated with patient satisfaction (p>0.05). In conclusion, nursing service quality is associated with pediatric patient satisfaction in several SERVQUAL dimensions, particularly tangible, reliability, and assurance. Continuous improvement in nursing service quality is necessary to enhance satisfaction among pediatric patients and their families in hospital settings.

ANALYSIS OF THE CONFORMITY OF CARBON EMISSION DISCLOSURE BASED ON ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING THROUGH GRI 305 IN IDX LQ45 LOW CARBON LEADER INDEX COMPANIES (2022–2024)

Poliyama, Tyas Aswadina, Mahdalena, Mahdalena, Badu, Ronald S.
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the level of conformity of carbon emission disclosure based on Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) through the GRI 305 standard in companies included in the IDX LQ45 Low Carbon Leaders (LQ45LCL)&#8230; Q45LCL) index during the period 2022–2024. The increasing global attention to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues encourages companies to improve transparency in environmental reporting, particularly regarding carbon emissions. EMA plays an important role as an internal accounting system that provides environmental information used in sustainability reporting. However, variations in the quality of carbon emission disclosure among companies indicate that the implementation of EMA is not yet fully optimal. This research uses a quantitative descriptive approach by analyzing the level of disclosure conformity of GRI 305 indicators in sustainability reports of companies included in the IDX LQ45 Low Carbon Leaders index. The level of conformity is calculated by comparing the number of disclosed indicator criteria with the maximum number of criteria that should be disclosed. The classification of disclosure levels includes not applied, limited disclosure, partially applied, well applied, and fully applied. The results show that the level of carbon emission disclosure among companies varies across the observation period. Several companies demonstrate an increasing trend in disclosure, while others experience fluctuations or remain at a limited disclosure level. Overall, most companies fall within the partially applied category, indicating that carbon emission disclosure has not yet been comprehensively implemented according to the GRI 305 standards. These findings suggest that although companies in the LQ45LCL index are recognized as low-carbon leaders, improvements in the implementation of Environmental Management Accounting are still needed to enhance the transparency and completeness of carbon emission reporting.
