Abstract: Studi literatur sistematis ini bertujuan untuk: (1) mensintesis dan menganalisis inkonsistensi temuan penelitian empiris mengenai efektivitas teori Fraud Pentagon dalam mendeteksi kecurangan laporan keuangan di Indonesia;&#8230; ; (2) mengidentifikasi sumber variasi hasil yang meliputi variasi operasionalisasi variabel, konteks penelitian, dan perbedaan metodologi; serta (3) mengembangkan dan mengusulkan seperangkat indikator operasional yang lebih komprehensif dan terstandarisasi untuk kelima elemen Fraud Pentagon berdasarkan konsolidasi tubuh literatur yang ada. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan systematic literature review dengan metode kualitatif deskriptif-analitis. Sumber data utama adalah 30 artikel jurnal ilmiah yang dipublikasikan pada periode 2020-2025, yang telah dipetakan sebelumnya. Teknik analisis data dilakukan melalui analisis konten tematik (thematic content analysis) dan sintesis naratif (narrative synthesis) untuk mengidentifikasi pola, kontradiksi, dan mengembangkan kerangka konseptual yang lebih kuat. Analisis mengungkap tiga temuan utama. Pertama, terdapat inkonsistensi hasil yang signifikan antar penelitian; misalnya, Financial Target (ROA) signifikan pada studi BUMN namun tidak signifikan pada sektor keuangan. Kedua, inkonsistensi ini bersumber dari: (a) variasi penggunaan proksi variabel (misal, Pressure diukur dengan ROA, leverage, atau perubahan aset), (b) pengaruh konteks spesifik (sektor, tata kelola), dan (c) perbedaan alat ukur kecurangan (F-Score, Beneish M-Score, studi kualitatif). Ketiga, sebagai kontribusi utama, penelitian ini berhasil mengembangkan 12 indikator Fraud Pentagon yang diperkaya dengan proksi empiris yang kuat dari literatur, seperti menambahkan frekuensi rapat dewan untuk Ineffective Monitoring dan kompleksitas kontrak untuk Nature of Industry. Kerangka indikator yang dikembangkan memberikan implikasi teoretis dengan memperkuat sifat kontingensi teori Fraud Pentagon, serta implikasi praktis bagi regulator, auditor, dan dewan komisaris sebagai alat risk assessment yang lebih komprehensif. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan uji empiris lebih lanjut terhadap indikator yang dikembangkan dan integrasi pendekatan kuantitatif-kualitatif dalam penelitian mendatang.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PROMOTION MIX AND THE COMPANY'S BRAND IDENTITY WITH CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AT PT. INO WANGSA BINJAI

Budi, Ivan Benedict Tambunan
Abstract: This study aims to deepen the understanding of the contribution of promotion and branding to increasing customer satisfaction at PT. Ino Wangsa Binjai. The study used primary data with a population of 300 buyers, and 75&#8230; respondents were selected as samples through calculations using the Slovin formula. The analysis techniques applied were quantitative, including validity tests, reliability, classical assumptions, simple linear regression, and hypothesis testing through t-tests and coefficients of determination (R²). Based on the analysis results, the promotional mix variable (E_Prmsi) obtained a t-count value of -1.824 with a significance level of 0.072 (> 0.05), while the t-table was 1.99346. Because the t-count is smaller than the t-table, it can be concluded that the promotional mix does not have a significant effect on customer satisfaction. In addition, a negative t-value indicates that the direction of the relationship between the promotional mix and customer satisfaction is not in line. Conversely, the partial test shows that the company's brand variable has a significant effect on customer satisfaction with a significance value of 0.00 (< 0.05). Therefore, the first hypothesis (H1) is declared accepted. From the results of the determination coefficient test, the R Square value is 0.495, which indicates that 49.5% of changes in customer satisfaction can be explained by the company's promotional mix and brand factors, while the remaining 50.5% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study. As a recommendation, the management of PT. Ino Wangsa Binjai, especially the branch manager, is advised to implement a more cost-effective, efficient, and targeted promotional strategy, as well as utilizing social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and print media such as newspapers to convey promotional information more effectively.

THE IMPACT OF STRESS AND WORK MOTIVATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF EMPLOYEES IN THE SIANTAR CITY MANPOWER DEPARTMENT

Binur Pretty Napitupulu, Haervi Yunira
Abstract: Work stress and motivation are two factors that can influence the increase or decrease in employee performance. This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of work stress and work motivation on employee performance&#8230; ce at the Siantar City Manpower Office. The focus of the study is limited to two independent variables, namely work stress and work motivation, and one dependent variable, namely employee performance. The formulation of the problem raised is whether work stress and work motivation affect employee performance. The population in this study amounted to 58 people who were also used as samples. The approach used is quantitative, with data collection through questionnaires and using secondary data. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression, with hypothesis testing through the t-test (partial), F-test (simultaneous), and the Coefficient of Determination (R²). The results of the study show a regression model Y = 0.550 + 0.447X₁ + 0.398X₂, where X₁ is work stress and X₂ is work motivation. Partially, work stress has a significant effect on employee performance with a significance value of 0.001 (<0.05) and a t-count of 3.543 (> t-table 1.673). Work motivation also shows a partial significant effect with a significance value of 0.002 (<0.05) and a t-count of 3.225 (> t-table 1.673). Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect on employee performance, with a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05) and an F-count of 34.156 (> F-table 3.17). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.554 indicates that 55.4% of the variation in employee performance is influenced by work stress and work motivation, while the remaining 44.6% is influenced by other factors outside this study. Thus, the relationship between work stress, work motivation, and employee performance is quite strong but not dominant.

Abstract: This study was conducted to analyze the influence of job satisfaction and work climate on employee morale at the Jakarta City Cooperatives and SMEs Office. The method used in this study was a sampling method, with 35 respondents&#8230; pondents taken from the relevant population. Based on the results of the F test, the F count value was 14.405 which was greater than the F table of 3.285, with a significance of 0.000 which was smaller than the significance level of 0.05. This indicates that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted, which means that job satisfaction and work climate simultaneously have a significant effect on employee morale. From the results of the t test, it is known that the t count value for job satisfaction is 3.181, greater than the t table of 1.692, with a significance level of 0.003 <0.05, which indicates a significant effect on work morale. Meanwhile, the work climate variable also showed a significant influence, with a calculated t value of 4.363 > t table 1.692 and a significance level of 0.000. The Adjusted R Square value of 0.441 indicates that 44.1% of the variation in work morale can be explained by the job satisfaction and work climate variables. The remaining 55.9% is influenced by other factors outside this research model.
