dengan kematangan karier adalah keikutsertaan siswa dalam kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kematangan karier antara siswa yang mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler dengan siswa yang tidak mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler di Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Kota Serang. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode komparatif. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 404 siswa yang berasal dari MAN 1 Kota Serang dan MAN 2 Kota Serang, yang dipilih menggunakan teknik stratified random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan angket kematangan karier yang disusun berdasarkan enam aspek kematangan karier yaitu orientasi karier, informasi dan perencanaan karier, konsistensi pilihan karier, pemantapan karakteristik diri, kemandirian dalam memilih karier, serta kebijaksanaan dalam memilih karier. Data dianalisis melalui uji normalitas, uji homogenitas, dan uji komparatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kematangan karier siswa secara umum berada pada kategori baik dengan nilai rata-rata sebesar 194,16. Namun demikian, hasil pengujian hipotesis menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara siswa yang mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler dan siswa yang tidak mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler (Sig. = 0,347 > 0,05). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa keikutsertaan dalam kegiatan ekstrakurikuler bukan merupakan faktor yang membedakan tingkat kematangan karier siswa. Kematangan karier diduga lebih dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor lain, seperti pemahaman diri, dukungan keluarga, pengalaman belajar, layanan bimbingan karier, dan akses terhadap informasi karier.
Career maturity is an important aspect that students need to develop in preparing for future educational and occupational choices. One factor that is assumed to be related to career maturity is participation in extracurricular activities. This study aimed to examine the differences in career maturity between students who participated in extracurricular activities and those who did not in State Islamic Senior High Schools (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri) in Serang City. This study employed a quantitative approach using a comparative research design. The sample consisted of 404 students from MAN 1 Serang City and MAN 2 Serang City selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a career maturity questionnaire six dimensions of career maturity: career orientation, career information and planning, consistency of career preferences, crystallization of self-characteristics, career independence, and wisdom in career choice. Data were analyzed using normality testing, homogeneity testing, and comparative analysis. The results indicated that students' career maturity was generally at a good level, with a mean score of 194.16. However, the hypothesis testing revealed no significant difference in career maturity between students who participated in extracurricular activities and those who did not (Sig. = 0.347 > 0.05). These findings suggest that participation in extracurricular activities is not a distinguishing factor in students' career maturity. Career maturity is likely influenced by other factors, including self-understanding, family support, learning experiences, career guidance services, and access to career information.

p between research paradigms and research methods, particularly in determining the approach that best suits the research objectives. This study aims to analyze the concept of research paradigms and their relationship to the selection of research methods. The study employs a qualitative approach using library research through the analysis of various relevant scientific sources, including books, journal articles, and conference proceedings. Data were analyzed using content analysis to identify and synthesize various concepts related to research paradigms and methods. The results indicate that research paradigms—such as positivism, post-positivism, interpretivism, constructivism, pragmatism, and the critical paradigm—possess distinct characteristics that influence the selection of research methods. Furthermore, the pragmatist paradigm serves as the dominant foundation for the use of mixed methods. This study makes a theoretical contribution by clarifying the relationship between research paradigms and research methods and serves as a practical reference for researchers in determining the appropriate research approach.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the effect of Initial Public Offering (IPO) on Return on Assets (ROA) by considering Firm Size, Liquidity, Leverage, and Tangibility in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The…
he study adopts a quantitative explanatory research design using secondary data obtained from audited annual financial statements of companies that conducted IPOs during the observation period. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, while panel data were analyzed using the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) to examine the relationships among the variables. The findings indicate that IPO has a positive but insignificant effect on ROA, suggesting that additional capital raised through public offerings does not immediately improve corporate profitability. Firm Size and Leverage exhibit significant negative effects on ROA, indicating that larger firms may experience operational inefficiencies, while excessive debt increases financial burdens and reduces profitability. Conversely, Liquidity and Tangibility show positive but insignificant effects on ROA. Simultaneously, IPO, Firm Size, Liquidity, Leverage, and Tangibility significantly influence ROA, with the model explaining 59.11% of the variation in profitability. These findings imply that post-IPO financial performance depends not only on capital acquisition but also on effective asset utilization, prudent debt management, and efficient operational strategies. The study contributes to the literature on post-IPO corporate performance and provides practical insights for managers and investors in evaluating financial performance after public offerings

ycle management and optimal funding supported by internal company characteristics. The research problem proposed is to determine how to achieve increased profitability in an automotive distributor company through the efficiency factors of Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC), Firm Size (Firm Size), Leverage (DER), and historical profitability factors (ROA_Lag). The sample of this study is the financial statements of PT New Ratna Motor (Nasmoco Group) in Semarang City for the 2021-2024 period, which were transformed into quarterly data (N=16). The results of data analysis indicate that this research model has a good level of feasibility (goodness of fit) with the ability to explain variations in profitability (Adjusted R Square) of 78.1% and successfully overcome autocorrelation interference. Simultaneously, there is a strong relationship between the independent variables and the company's profit movements. Partially, the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) variable is proven to have a negative and significant effect on profitability, while the Firm Size and Leverage variables have not shown a significant effect at the 95% confidence level.

rust in influencer-based marketing content on social media platforms. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 purposively selected participants who actively consume beauty content on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis encompassing open coding, axial coding, and selective coding procedures. The findings reveal five core themes: (1) authenticity as the primary driver of trust formation; (2) the negative impact of excessive commercialization on perceived credibility; (3) the role of influencer expertise and product knowledge in legitimizing recommendations; (4) parasocial relationships as amplifiers of emotional attachment and brand loyalty; and (5) consumer skepticism as an emerging critical evaluation strategy. The study demonstrates that trust remains the central mediating variable linking influencer characteristics to purchase intentions. Consumers exhibit nuanced evaluation behaviors, distinguishing between genuine advocacy and sponsored content. The research contributes theoretically by integrating Source Credibility Theory, Parasocial Interaction Theory, and the Trust-Commitment Theory within the influencer marketing context. Managerially, the findings suggest that brands should prioritize authentic, transparent, and expertise-driven influencer collaborations rather than high-volume promotional campaigns.
Abstract:This study aims to develop and implement a sustainability reporting framework for Tulungrejo Village based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. Unlike evaluative studies, this research focuses on designing…
a village sustainability report that had not previously been available. The research process involved identifying sustainability issues, engaging stakeholders, and conducting a materiality analysis in accordance with GRI 3 to determine relevant topics. The selected material topics were then mapped into GRI 200 (economic), 300 (environmental), and 400 (social) standards, and compiled using the “with reference” approach. The findings indicate that village sustainability reporting can be implemented adaptively by selecting indicators that align with the village’s characteristics and capacity. This study proposes a GRI-based sustainability reporting framework that can serve as a practical guideline for village governments to enhance transparency and accountability in resource management.

be used for food development. One alternative is to use the yard of the house. Home gardens not only function as areas that provide beauty and coolness, but also as productive land that supports national food security by empowering local potential, both in rural and urban areas. Apart from that, the use of the yard also contributes to improving the family's economy. This research aims to examine the characteristics of residents regarding the use of homestead land in rural areas, analyze their utilization patterns, and assess the effectiveness of using homestead land in supporting food availability. The data in this research were analyzed using an experimental method, which involved initial measurements (pre-test), providing treatment in the form of guidance or direction regarding land use, and follow-up measurements (post-test). The research sample was selected using the snowball sampling method, namely a sampling technique based on individual networks. The research results show that the use of yard land is effective in supporting food availability. This is shown by the respondent's answer score on the program effectiveness variable, which is in the range of 50-100%, so it is included in the effective category
