Abstract:Fractional premium schemes in life insurance generally follow two main approaches: True Fractional Premiums, which are easy to implement but less fair to policyholders who die mid-period, and Apportionable Fractional Premiums,…
miums, which are more actuarially fair but administratively more complex. This study designs a Hybrid Fractional Premiums model that combines both approaches through a weighted linear combination using parameter , based on the 2023 Indonesian Mortality Table (TMPI), a 5% interest rate, a 10-year coverage period, and monthly premium payments. This descriptive quantitative study applies actuarial mathematics, covering the present value of insurance benefits, true fractional, apportionable fractional, and hybrid annuity factors, up to premium determination using the equivalence principle. The results show that the hybrid premium consistently lies between the true fractional and apportionable premiums, increases sharply with the insured's age, and is higher for males than females due to differences in mortality rates. Changes in the value of have a linear effect on the premium, although the impact is relatively small (a difference of less than IDR 200 per month). The hybrid model with is recommended as the optimal balance between actuarial fairness and ease of implementation, offering a more flexible alternative for premium determination in Indonesia's life insurance industry.
Abstract:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perilaku konsumen dalam keputusan pembelian cinderamata di kawasan Wisata Ke'te Kesu' Kabupaten Toraja Utara. Industri pariwisata budaya telah bertransformasi menjadi industri…
berbasis pengalaman yang mengedepankan nilai emosional, simbolik, dan kultural. Dalam konteks ini, pembelian cinderamata tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai barang konsumsi, tetapi juga sebagai simbol kenangan, identitas budaya, dan representasi pengalaman wisata. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi terhadap lima wisatawan sebagai informan kunci dan lima pelaku UMKM sebagai informan pendukung. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keputusan pembelian cinderamata di kawasan Wisata Ke'te Kesu' dipengaruhi oleh empat faktor utama, yaitu faktor budaya, sosial, pribadi, dan psikologis. Faktor budaya dan psikologis merupakan faktor yang paling dominan karena wisatawan memandang cinderamata sebagai representasi budaya Toraja yang autentik dan memiliki makna simbolik. Proses keputusan pembelian berlangsung melalui lima tahapan: pengenalan kebutuhan, pencarian informasi, evaluasi alternatif, keputusan pembelian, dan perilaku pasca pembelian. Wisatawan melakukan pertimbangan terhadap harga, kualitas, keunikan, dan nilai budaya produk sebelum memutuskan membeli. Pengalaman wisata yang positif memberikan pengaruh terhadap kepuasan wisatawan dan mendorong niat membeli ulang serta rekomendasi kepada orang lain. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keputusan pembelian cinderamata di kawasan Wisata Ke'te Kesu' tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh kebutuhan fungsional, tetapi juga oleh nilai budaya, pengalaman emosional, dan persepsi wisatawan terhadap keaslian produk budaya Toraja.
Abstract is a brief summary of the paper to help readers quickly determine the main research problem, solutions to solving This study aims to analyze consumer behavior in purchasing decisions of souvenirs at the Ke'te Kesu' Tourism Area in North Toraja Regency. The cultural tourism industry has transformed into an experience-based industry that prioritizes emotional, symbolic, and cultural values. In this context, souvenir purchases serve not only as consumer goods but also as symbols of memories, cultural identity, and representations of tourist experiences. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving five tourists as key informants and five MSME actors as supporting informants. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that souvenir purchasing decisions at the Ke'te Kesu' Tourism Area are influenced by four main factors: cultural, social, personal, and psychological factors. Cultural and psychological factors are the most dominant because tourists perceive souvenirs as authentic representations of Toraja culture with symbolic meaning. The purchase decision process occurs through five stages: need recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase decision, and post-purchase behavior. Tourists consider price, quality, uniqueness, and cultural value before deciding to purchase a product. Positive tourism experiences influence tourist satisfaction and encourage repeat purchase intentions and recommendations to others. This study concludes that souvenir purchasing decisions at the Ke'te Kesu' Tourism Area are not only influenced by functional needs but also by cultural values, emotional experiences, and tourists' perceptions of the authenticity of Toraja cultural products.
Abstract:Maintaining employee commitment is particularly important in palm oil mill operations, where shift work, physical demands, and limited career development opportunities may affect employees’ attachment to the organization.…
on. This study examines the influence of work-life balance and career development on the organizational commitment of operational employees at the Rimba Belian Palm Oil Mill Unit, Region 5, PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV. A quantitative associative design was employed, involving all 114 operational employees through a census approach. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression after completing instrument and classical assumption tests. The findings indicate that work-life balance and career development each have a positive and significant influence on organizational commitment. Both variables also jointly contribute significantly to strengthening employees’ commitment to the organization. Work-life balance showed a relatively stronger contribution, suggesting that employees’ ability to manage work demands and personal responsibilities is particularly important in a shift-based operational environment. This study extends the discussion of organizational commitment to the palm oil agro-industry, which remains less frequently examined than service and public-sector organizations. The findings imply that management should improve shift arrangements, rest periods, access to training, and the transparency of promotion and career development processes to maintain employees’ long-term commitment
Abstract:This study systematically reviews the development of Total Quality Management (TQM) practices in relation to Green Quality Intelligence Capabilities (GQIC), Circular Process Innovation (CPI), and Sustainable Operational…
Performance (SOP). Responding to the need for a clearer review method and a more focused novelty, this article applies the PRISMA 2020-based Systematic Literature Review approach. Articles were identified from the Scopus database using keyword combinations related to TQM, quality management practices, green capability, green innovation, circular economy, circular process innovation, Industry 4.0, Quality 4.0, and sustainability performance. After identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and quality appraisal, 27 articles published between 2016 and 2026 were included in the final synthesis. The findings show that TQM literature has shifted from traditional quality control and customer satisfaction toward digital, green, and sustainability-oriented quality management. Soft TQM dimensions, such as leadership, employee involvement, training, and quality culture, and hard TQM dimensions, such as process management, quality tools, continuous improvement, and data-based decision making, remain dominant. However, prior studies still frequently use general mediators, including knowledge management, organizational culture, innovation capability, and competitive advantage. This review proposes CPI as a more specific mediation mechanism that translates TQM and GQIC into sustainable operational outcomes through waste reduction, resource efficiency, material reuse, energy efficiency, and circular process redesign. The study contributes by offering an integrated conceptual model and propositions for future empirical research on quality management, green intelligence, circular innovation, and sustainable operations.
Abstract:Transformasi industri digital telah mengubah kebutuhan kompetensi lulusan perguruan tinggi sehingga mahasiswa tidak hanya dituntut memiliki kompetensi akademik, tetapi juga kesiapan karier (career readiness) yang sesuai…
dengan dinamika dunia kerja. Namun, berbagai program pendampingan karier di perguruan tinggi masih didominasi oleh penyampaian informasi yang bersifat umum dan belum terintegrasi dengan pengembangan pengalaman berbasis proyek. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan mengimplementasikan Project-Oriented Career Readiness Framework (PCRF) sebagai model pendampingan untuk meningkatkan kesiapan karier mahasiswa dalam menghadapi industri digital. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 8 Mei 2026 di Fakultas Teknologi Komunikasi dan Informatika (FTKI) Universitas Nasional dan diikuti oleh 156 mahasiswa peserta Yudisium Tahun Akademik 2025/2026. Metode yang digunakan berupa pendampingan partisipatif melalui lima tahapan PCRF, yaitu Industry Insight, Self and Skill Mapping, Career Planning, Project and Portfolio Development, serta Career Readiness Evaluation. Evaluasi kegiatan mengacu pada model Kirkpatrick pada aspek Reaction dan Learning melalui observasi partisipatif, diskusi interaktif, refleksi peserta, dokumentasi, dan umpan balik lisan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa implementasi PCRF mampu memfasilitasi mahasiswa dalam memahami perkembangan industri digital, mengidentifikasi kompetensi yang dimiliki, menyusun perencanaan karier, serta membangun portofolio profesional berbasis pengalaman proyek. Tingginya partisipasi dan antusiasme peserta selama kegiatan mengindikasikan bahwa pendekatan pendampingan berbasis proyek memberikan pengalaman belajar yang lebih kontekstual dibandingkan seminar karier konvensional. Dengan demikian, Project-Oriented Career Readiness Framework (PCRF) berpotensi menjadi model pendampingan kesiapan karier yang dapat direplikasi pada berbagai program pengembangan mahasiswa di perguruan tinggi untuk mendukung peningkatan daya saing lulusan menghadapi industri digital.
Abstract:This study examines the influence of Maqashid Sharia dimensions on halal cosmetic usage intention among married Muslim women and investigates the moderating role of price affordability. A quantitative approach was employed…
ed using a survey method involving 157 married Muslim women residing in the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek), Indonesia. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The findings reveal that among the five Maqashid Sharia dimensions examined, only hifz al-mal (protection of wealth) and hifz al-nasl (protection of lineage) significantly and positively influence halal cosmetic usage intention. In contrast, hifz al-din (protection of religion), hifz al-nafs (protection of life), and hifz al-aql (protection of intellect) do not show significant effects. Price affordability demonstrates a significant direct positive effect on usage intention; however, it does not moderate the relationships between any of the Maqashid Sharia dimensions and usage intention. The model explains 65.5% of the variance in halal cosmetic usage intention (R² = 0.655) with a predictive relevance value of Q² = 0.469. These findings suggest that economic rationality and family orientation serve as the primary drivers of halal cosmetic consumption among married Muslim women, rather than individual religiosity or health awareness. This study contributes to the literature by applying the Maqashid Sharia framework to consumer behavior research and provides practical implications for halal cosmetic industry stakeholders.
Abstract:Pasar modal merupakan industri berbasis kepercayaan (trust-based industry) yang idealnya mengedepankan prinsip transparansi dan keadilan publik. Namun, realitas di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) di awal tahun 2026 diwarnai oleh…
leh sanksi berat Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) terhadap emiten PT Multi Makmur Lemindo Tbk (PIPA) dan PT Repower Asia Indonesia Tbk (REAL) akibat kesalahan material laporan keuangan dan transaksi abnormal. Berbeda dengan riset terdahulu yang mengkaji kecurangan pasar secara parsial, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengintegrasikan praktik manajemen laba (earnings management), transaksi orang dalam (insider trading), dan manipulasi pasar (saham gorengan) sebagai satu kesatuan mata rantai kejahatan kerah putih (white-collar crime), sekaligus membedahnya melalui tinjauan etika bisnis normatif. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif-analitis, penelitian ini menerapkan teknik analisis konten (content analysis) dan studi literatur komparatif terhadap data sekunder rilis resmi regulator serta laporan keuangan emiten. Pisau analisis yang digunakan mencakup Fraud Diamond Theory, Teori Keagenan (Agency Theory), Asimetri Informasi, serta Paradigma Integritas Manusia Utuh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya sinkronisasi kecurangan yang terstruktur dari hulu ke hilir. Tahap hulu (the setup) diawali dengan rekayasa akuntansi melalui penyalahgunaan kapabilitas manajemen. Ketimpangan informasi di hulu kemudian dimanfaatkan di tengah jalan (the leak) untuk membocorkan informasi material kepada jaringan afiliasi, yang bermuara pada transaksi semu di hilir (the execution) guna menjebak psikologi investor ritel demi keuntungan egoistik sepihak. Dari tinjauan etika utilitarianisme dan deontologi Immanuel Kant, mata rantai kejahatan finansial ini dinilai cacat moral secara mutlak karena mencederai kewajiban moral kejujuran (duty of honesty) dan mengeksploitasi investor publik semata-mata sebagai alat komersial (means to an end). Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya penguatan sistem deteksi dini terintegrasi oleh regulator untuk memutus rantai kecurangan finansial di bursa nasional, Indonesia terutama ketika penerapannya masih bersifat formalitas dan belum didukung oleh budaya organisasi yang berintegritas. Perbedaan hasil juga dipengaruhi oleh sektor industri dan tingkat kematangan tata kelola masing-masing organisasi. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada perbandingan lintas sektor dan metode yang memperlihatkan bahwa efektivitas GCG dan audit internal sangat bergantung pada komitmen nyata dari manajemen serta internalisasi nilai-nilai etis dalam organisasi. Untuk penelitian selanjutnya, disarankan agar mengkaji variabel moderasi seperti budaya organisasi dan komitmen manajemen, serta memperluas cakupan sektor penelitian agar hasilnya lebih representatif.

Abstract:This study aims to explore and evaluate the development of studies on shariah-based governance in the takaful industry through a systematic literature review approach. Sharia governance has an important role in ensuring…
that all processes, policies, and operational activities of takaful companies are implemented in accordance with sharia regulations, while supporting the principles of transparency, accountability, fairness, and protection of participants' rights. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by adopting the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. The databases used are Scopus and Google Scholar with the keywords "Shariah Governance", "Islamic Governance", "Takaful Industry", "Takaful Governance", and "Shariah Governance in Takaful". Through the process of identification, screening, and feasibility assessment, 7 articles that meet the inclusion criteria were obtained for thematic analysis. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of sharia governance in the takaful industry is determined by five main elements: the role and competence of the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS), the sharia compliance and audit system, the corporate governance mechanism, the transparency of information disclosure based on AAOIFI standards, and the support of the regulatory framework. This research provides theoretical contributions to the development of the concept of sharia governance in the Islamic insurance industry as well as practical recommendations for regulators, takaful operators, and Sharia Supervisory Boards.
