The research instrument was a semi-structured interview guide. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews and analyzed using phenomenological analysis through the stages of transcription, coding, grouping themes, and extracting essential meanings. The results show that sharia accountability is interpreted as a professional, moral, social, and spiritual responsibility manifested through trustworthiness, transparency, sharia compliance, fair service, and supervision. The conclusion of the study confirms that sharia accountability is not only understood as formal reporting, but as an ethical and religious practice carried out in daily work activities.
Abstract:In carrying out its integrated regulatory and supervisory function in the financial services sector, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) receives various reports from Financial Services Institutions (LJK), Issuers, and…
d Public Companies regarding the receipt and distribution of funds. The complexity of funding and financing relationships between financial service actors creates concentration risks that have the potential to disrupt financial system stability. Experiences from the 1998 Indonesian crisis and the 2008 global financial crisis demonstrate that concentration of exposures and interconnectedness between entities can exacerbate systemic risk. This study aims to identify current supervisory data analysis practices and propose the development of a concentration risk analysis that integrates the loan exposures of large debtor groups with their funding sources. The study used a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results indicate that OJK supervisors need an integrated concentration risk analysis across various LJKs and customer groups. Currently, the analysis process is still carried out manually, resulting in inconsistent results and difficult to replicate. The implementation of Supervisory Technology (SupTech) can improve supervisory effectiveness while transforming supervisors' tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge that is documented, standardized, and easily shared. This research contributes to the development of technology-based risk monitoring and knowledge management models in the financial services sector.

Abstract:This study discusses the effectiveness of the Swallow Nest Tax in increasing Regional Original Revenue (PAD) in Luwu Regency. The research problem focuses on the low realization of tax revenue compared to the set target…
and the suboptimal contribution of the swallow nest tax to PAD. The objective of this study is to analyze the level of effectiveness of the swallow nest tax and the factors influencing it.
This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using an elasticity ratio approach and an interactive analysis model. The results show that the swallow nest tax has not been effective in increasing PAD, with an average elasticity value of -0.03% (inelastic) during the 2022–2024 period. The realization of tax revenue is still far below the established target. This condition is influenced by low taxpayer awareness, suboptimal business reporting, limited supervision, and unstable harvest yields. As a result, the tax effectiveness remains low and has not provided a significant contribution to PAD.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the level of taxpayer compliance in paying Motor Vehicle Tax at the Samsat Office of Bantaeng Regency. The research uses a descriptive quantitative and qualitative approach with data collection…
techniques through documentation, interviews, and observation. Quantitative analysis is carried out by measuring the formal compliance ratio based on the number of taxpayers who pay on time compared to the number of registered taxpayers, while qualitative analysis is conducted through indicators of awareness, compliance with due dates, compliance with regulations, willingness to pay, and views on Samsat services. The results of the study indicate that the level of taxpayer compliance is relatively high, but it shows a tendency to decrease from year to year. The decrease is influenced by the increasing number of registered vehicles that is not matched by an increase in awareness, the economic factors of the community, and delays in payment due to other priority needs. Service innovations such as mobile services and digital convenience contribute positively, but have not fully encouraged optimal compliance. This study confirms that improving compliance requires continuous education strategies, strengthening public services, and consistent supervision
Abstract:The purpose of this study is to examine how product quality influences consumers' decisions to buy electric cars in Makassar City, using brand image as a mediating factor. The swift expansion of electric vehicle adoption…
necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing customer purchasing behavior in this nascent sector. A quantitative methodology utilizing an explanatory study design was implemented to examine the causal links among the variables. The population comprised consumers who had acquired or utilized electric vehicles in Makassar City, while the precise population size remained unspecified. A purposeful non-probability sampling strategy was employed, resulting in 105 respondents who completed a structured online questionnaire sent using Google Forms. The data were analyzed utilizing SEM-PLS with SmartPLS to investigate both direct and indirect effects among the constructs. The findings demonstrate that product quality positively and significantly impacts purchase decisions, product quality positively and significantly influences brand image, and brand image positively and significantly affects purchase decisions. Additionally, brand image serves as a partial mediator in the correlation between product quality and purchasing decisions. The findings indicate that superior product quality in electric vehicles is more influential in influencing purchasing decisions when it concurrently cultivates a favorable brand image in consumers' perceptions, thus offering strategic insights for manufacturers and distributors in formulating marketing strategies that enhance both product quality and brand image.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the influence of packing machine automation on operator productivity in the facial tissue industry by considering the role of moderation, technical competence and operator workload perception.…
The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by reviewing scientific articles published in the 2020–2026 range from reputable databases such as Scopus. The selection process was carried out using the PRISMA approach through the identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages, resulting in a number of articles relevant to the topics of industrial automation, labor productivity, technical competence, and workload. The results of the study show that the implementation of packing machine automation in general has a positive impact on increasing operator productivity through time efficiency, quality consistency, and reduction of manual errors. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of automation is highly dependent on the level of technical competence of the operator, especially in the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of the machine. In addition, workload perception has also been shown to moderate the relationship, where automation can lower physical workloads but potentially increase mental workloads due to the demands of automated system supervision. Other findings suggest that an imbalance between automation levels and human resource readiness can hinder productivity optimization. Conceptually, this study confirms that the relationship between packing machine automation and operator productivity is not linear, but is influenced by individual and psychological factors. The practical implications of this study are the importance of technical competency-based training as well as adaptive workload management in supporting the successful implementation of automation in the manufacturing industry. This research contributes to the development of an integrative model that connects technology, people, and operational performance in the context of the tissue processing industry.
Abstract:Digital transformation is an important agenda in tax administration reform in Indonesia. One of the strategic steps taken by the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) is the implementation of the Core Tax Administration System…
tem (CTAS) as a core system that integrates all tax administration processes. This study aims to examine the role of CTAS in strengthening taxpayer compliance supervision in Indonesia. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach by utilizing secondary data in the form of DGT performance reports, official publications, and literature related to tax modernization. The analysis was carried out by examining changes in administrative processes, data management, and supervision patterns after the implementation of CTAS. The results of the study show that CTAS plays a role in improving the quality and integration of tax data, strengthening risk-based supervision, and supporting more systematic compliance monitoring. However, the effectiveness of the implementation of CTAS still faces challenges, especially related to the readiness of human resources and the equitable distribution of technological infrastructure.
