THE INFLUENCE OF WEBSITE-BASED SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE ON FIRM VALUE (Study of IDX ESG Leaders)

Mohune, Sesylia, Mahmud, Muliyani, Pilomonu, Mentari Rizki Sawitri
Abstract: The phenomenon of increasing attention toward environmental and sustainability issues has driven companies to improve information transparency, moving beyond mere financial reports to include non-financial disclosures. One… ne form of this transparency is realized through website-based sustainability reporting, which allows companies to convey sustainability information more openly and accessibly to stakeholders. On the other hand, capital structure decisions remain a fundamental factor that can potentially influence market perceptions of firm value, as they relate to the balance between internal and external funding in supporting operational continuity and growth strategies. This study aims to determine the influence of website-based sustainability reporting and capital structure on firm value through multiple linear regression analysis. Using a quantitative approach and secondary data obtained from annual reports and official company websites, the study focuses on issuers consistently listed in the IDX ESG Leaders index during the 2023–2024 period. The sample selection utilized purposive sampling, resulting in 20 companies with a total of 40 data observations. Firm value was measured using the Tobin’s Q ratio, the level of sustainability reporting disclosure was proxied through the Sustainability Report Disclosure Index (SRDI) based on GRI 2021 standards, and capital structure was measured by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER). The partial results of the study show that website-based sustainability reporting has a positive coefficient but no significant effect on firm value. Similarly, capital structure shows a positive direction but is not statistically significant. Furthermore, the two variables simultaneously have no significant effect on the firm value of IDX ESG Leaders issuers. These findings indicate that although website-based sustainability disclosure and capital structure tend to have a direct relationship with firm value, the influence is not yet strong enough to significantly affect market valuation within a group of issuers that already meet sustainability criteria. Consequently, the firm value of IDX ESG Leaders issuers is not solely determined by the level of website-based sustainability disclosure or the company's capital structure.

THE EFFECT OF DIGITAL LITERACY ON STUDENTS’ LEARNING OUTCOMES IN A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS COURSE IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING STUDY PROGRAM AT UNIVERSITAS HAMZANWADI

Isnein Akbar, Mutia Permata Sari, Agus Muliadi Putra
Abstract: The rapid development of information and communication technologies has significantly transformed higher education. Teaching and learning processes are increasingly supported by digital platforms, Learning Management Systems&#8230; tems (LMS), and abundant online learning resources. In this context, university students are required to possess adequate digital literacy, particularly in software- and spatial-analysis-based courses such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which is a key course in the Environmental Engineering curriculum. This study aimed to analyze the effect of digital literacy on students’ learning outcomes in a GIS course offered in the Environmental Engineering Study Program at Universitas Hamzanwadi. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed. The population consisted of students enrolled in the GIS course in the odd semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, and all 44 students were taken as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. Digital literacy was measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) covering technical skills, information search and evaluation, information management, online communication and collaboration, and ethical use of digital media, while learning outcomes were obtained from the final course grades. The data analysis showed that the mean score of students’ digital literacy was 3.6 (moderately high), with a standard deviation of 0.45, whereas the mean GIS course grade was 78.5 with a standard deviation of 6.8. Pearson correlation analysis indicated a positive and significant relationship between digital literacy and learning outcomes (r = 0.62; p < 0.01). Simple linear regression further revealed that digital literacy accounted for approximately 38% of the variance in learning outcomes (R² = 0.38), with the regression equation Ŷ = 52.3 + 7.3X. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening students’ digital literacy in GIS instruction through training, project-based assignments, and the optimal utilization of Learning Management Systems.

EXPERIENTIAL VALUE AS A DRIVER OF BRAND LOVE AND CUSTOMER LOYALTY THROUGH CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IN THE SLOW BAR COFFEE SHOP TOKO KOPI LAJENG

Rama, Putu Nina Madiawati, Arry Widodo
Abstract: The increasing popularity of slow bar coffee shops in Indonesia reflects a shift in consumer preferences towards more personalized, immersive, and educational coffee experiences. This study aims to examine the effect of&#8230; Experience Value, consisting of Customer Return on Investment (CROI), Service Excellence, Aesthetics, and Enjoyment, on Brand Love and Customer Loyalty through the mediating role of Customer Satisfaction among customers of Lajeng Coffee Shop in Bandung. A quantitative survey was conducted using purposive sampling, collecting 251 valid responses through a Likert scale questionnaire, and the data were analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS. The results show that Experience Value has a significant effect on Customer Satisfaction (β = 0.721; p < 0.001). Customer Satisfaction acts as a partial mediator in the relationship between Experience Value and Brand Love and Customer Loyalty. Furthermore, the effect of Customer Satisfaction on Customer Loyalty (β = 0.462; p < 0.001) is stronger than its effect on Brand Love (β = 0.441; p < 0.001), indicating that satisfaction is more easily translated into loyal behavior than into emotional attachment. These findings extend customer experience research in the slow bar context and offer practical guidance for managers to prioritize experience investments that strengthen loyalty and brand love.

THE INFLUENCE OF DIGITAL LITERACY, FINANCIAL LITERACY, GENDER, AND FEAR OF MISSING OUT (FOMO) ON STOCK INVESTMENT DECISIONS WITH INFORMATION DISCLOSURE AS A MEDIATING VARIABLE AMONG GENERATIONS Y AND Z IN WEST JAVA

Rina Herlina, Erna Puji Hartanti
Abstract: The This study is based on the phenomenon of increasing investment losses and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) in Indonesia, with illegal investment losses amounting to IDR 139 trillion and FOMO among young people rising to 80%&#8230; % by 2024. This trend aligns with the growing number of investors and digital literacy in Indonesia, particularly in Java, which has the highest concentration of investors. The large population of Generations Y and Z in West Java serves as the subject of this research, highlighting the gap between financial literacy (56.10%) and financial inclusion (88.31%). This reinforces the urgency of this study. Information disclosure is considered crucial in reducing information asymmetry and managing risk in investment decision-making. The main objective of this study is to examine the direct and indirect effects of digital literacy, financial literacy, gender, and FOMO on stock investment decisions, as well as to test the role of information disclosure. A quantitative approach is used, with a questionnaire distributed to 443 respondents from Generations Y and Z in West Java, all of whom have investment experience in stocks. The purposive sampling technique was used, and data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to test model validity, reliability, and relationships between variables. The results show that digital literacy, financial literacy, gender, and FOMO significantly affect stock investment decisions. Information disclosure mediates the relationship between financial literacy, gender, and FOMO on investment decisions but does not mediate the relationship between digital literacy and investment decisions. Furthermore, information disclosure positively influences stock investment decisions, emphasizing the importance of transparency. This study contributes to the development of a theoretical model that highlights the role of market discipline through information disclosure. Practically, the findings can guide OJK and companies in designing digital-financial literacy programs and improving information transparency to prevent investment fraud and increase investor confidence. The study suggests that investors should enhance their understanding of investment risks and critically assess available information. Limitations include the focus on Generations Y and Z in West Java using purposive sampling, and the exclusion of other factors like education. The self-report quantitative method may lead to bias, and cross-sectional data does not capture changes in investment behavior over time. Future research is recommended to expand the demographic sample, include additional variables, and use a mixed-method approach for more comprehensive results.

Fardhan M Nur Poloalo, Fityan Halid, Sahmin Noholo
Abstract: The increasing complexity and uncertainty of the organizational environment demands a management system capable of anticipating various risks in a structured manner. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a comprehensive approach&#8230; proach to managing organizational risk, but its implementation often fails to run optimally without the support of strong corporate governance. This study aims to examine the role of corporate governance in strengthening organizational risk management through a systematic literature review. The research method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of relevant national and international journals. The results of the study indicate that corporate governance plays a strategic role in ensuring the effectiveness of ERM implementation through oversight mechanisms, clarity of responsibilities, and the integration of risk into strategic decision-making. This study provides a conceptual contribution by presenting a synthesis of the literature on the relationship between governance and risk management as a basis for developing more transparent and accountable organizational practices.

THE CONCEPT OF TA’DIB IN ISLAMIC EDUCATION AS A SOLUTION TO THE DIGITAL ETHICS CRISIS AMONG STUDENTS: THE PERSPECTIVE OF SYED MUHAMMAD NAQUIB AL-ATTAS

Suyono, Diky Ardha Sundawa, Rizaldi Isnanta, Jailani, Bahtiar Siregar
Abstract: The increasingly pervasive development of digital technology has not been fully accompanied by the strengthening of ethical awareness in its practical use. This situation is reflected in various phenomena among students,&#8230; including the tendency toward excessive use of social media, the declining quality of ethics in online communication, and the weakening of mutual respect in digital spaces. These conditions indicate that digital ethics cannot be understood merely as a technological problem but are closely related to the direction of values and the fundamental goals of education. Departing from this reality, this study aims to examine the concept of ta’dib in the thought of Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas as an alternative conceptual framework for responding to the digital ethics crisis from the perspective of Islamic education. This study employs a qualitative approach through library research by critically examining al-Attas’s major works as well as national and international scholarly journal articles from the past five years relevant to digital ethics and Islamic education. The findings reveal that the weakening of digital ethics is rooted in an educational paradigm that tends to emphasize cognitive aspects and technical skill mastery, while the formation of adab as the core of education is neglected. Within this framework, the concept of ta’dib offers a holistic philosophical foundation by positioning education as a process of internalizing adab that integrates intellectual, moral, and spiritual dimensions in an integral manner. Therefore, this study concludes that the application of the concept of ta’dib has the potential to serve as a strategic foundation for building sustainable, value-oriented digital ethics among students that are relevant to the challenges of Islamic education in the digital era.

FORMULATING BUSINESS STRATEGY AND PROFITABILITY TO INCREASE COMPANY VALUE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE MEDIATING ROLE OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Erlita, Arry Widodo, Putu Nina Madiawati
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of business strategy and profitability on firm value, with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a mediating variable at Bank BPD DIY. This study uses a quantitative causality&#8230; approach with a confirmatory nature, testing the extent to which the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Stakeholder Theory are confirmed in the context of the regional banking industry. Primary data were collected through a 1–5 Likert-scale questionnaire from all BPD DIY managers (census method, 163 respondents) who met the criteria of managerial position, minimum three years of service, and involvement in strategic policy. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the assistance of SmartPLS. This involved testing the outer model (convergent validity, discriminant validity, reliability) and inner model (path coefficient, R², f², Q²) to assess the direct and indirect effects between variables. The variables studied included business strategy, profitability, CSR, and firm value, operationalized across several dimensions, including future orientation, operational efficiency, the social and environmental dimensions of CSR, and market value and corporate reputation. The instrument was independently developed based on theoretical synthesis (David & David, Houston, Teodorescu Ionescu, Carroll, and others), then validated through expert judgment before being tested for validity and reliability on pilot respondents. The results showed that business strategy had a positive effect on CSR and firm value, while profitability had a positive effect on CSR and firm value, aligning with the view that slack resources and a prospector strategy encourage stronger CSR activities and improved market perception. CSR was shown to have a positive effect on firm value and acted as a mediating variable in the relationships between business strategy and firm value and profitability and firm value. Thus, CSR implementation strengthens the transmission of the influence of strategy and financial performance on increasing firm value. These findings confirm that the integration of a sustainability-oriented business strategy, strong profitability performance, and consistent CSR implementation is a crucial combination for enhancing firm value in the regional banking sector.
