Competence, Workload, Personality Type, and Auditors’ Fraud Detection Ability: Evidence From The BPK Representative Office of Central Sulawesi Province

Orcitia, Suryanti, Tenripada, Jamaluddin, Darmawan, I Putu Edi
Abstract: The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of auditors’ competence, workload, and personality type on auditors’ fraud detection ability at the Central Sulawesi Province Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) Representative… sentative Office. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consisted of 40 auditors, and the sample was determined using a saturated sampling technique (total sampling), involving all 40 auditors as research respondents. Data collected through Likert-scale questionnaires were analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. The results indicate that personality type has a positive and significant effect on auditors’ fraud detection ability, while competence and workload do not show significant partial effects. However, all independent variables simultaneously influence fraud detection ability. Based on the adjusted R-square value of 0.324, the research model explains 32.4% of the variation in auditors’ fraud detection ability, while the remaining 67.6% is explained by other factors outside the research model

How Individualized Consideration Enhances Work-Life Balance: The Mediating Role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior and the Moderating Effect of Work Overload

Arifin, Zainal, Sanusi, Fauji, Ichwanudin, Wawan, Mukhsin, Moh., Prahiawan, Wawan, Setya, Yanto Azie
Abstract: Maintaining employees’ Work-Life Balance (WLB) remains a major challenge for organizations operating under high operational demands. This study examines the effect of Individualized Consideration on Work-Life Balance through… hrough Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), with Work Overload as a moderating variable. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using a census survey involving 149 operational employees at PT PLN (Persero) UPT Cikupa, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The findings reveal that Individualized Consideration has a positive and significant effect on Organizational Citizenship Behavior but does not have a significant direct effect on Work-Life Balance. Organizational Citizenship Behavior, in turn, has a positive and significant effect on Work-Life Balance and fully mediates the relationship between Individualized Consideration and Work-Life Balance. Meanwhile, Work Overload does not significantly moderate the relationship between Individualized Consideration and Work-Life Balance. These findings demonstrate that individualized leadership contributes to employees’ Work-Life Balance primarily through the development of Organizational Citizenship Behavior rather than through a direct mechanism, particularly in a high-demand operational environment. Practically, the study suggests that organizations should strengthen Organizational Citizenship Behavior by fostering collaboration, voluntary support, and constructive interpersonal behavior among employees, rather than relying solely on individualized leadership practices to improve Work-Life Balance.

FACTOR OF SAFETY AND PROBABILITY OF FAILURE ASSESSMENT OF ROCK SLOPES IN ARTISANAL KAOLIN MINE USING LIMIT EQUILIBRIUM METHOD AND MONTE CARLO SIMULATION

Rianse, Mohammad Suriyaidulman
Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the stability of three rock slopes in an artisanal kaolin mine in Semin, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using deterministic and probabilistic approaches, and to identify the geotechnical… parameters most influencing slope stability. The evaluation is conducted in compliance with Indonesian Mining Regulation (Kepmen ESDM No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018) to provide quantitative geotechnical evidence for a mine that has been operated without prior formal geotechnical assessment. Field data were collected using the scanline method to characterize rock mass discontinuities. Laboratory tests comprising direct shear and physical properties tests were conducted to determine cohesion (c), friction angle (ϕ), and unit weight (γ) for each slope. Seismic coefficient (ks = 0,0913) was incorporated as a dynamic loading parameter. Slope stability was analyzed using the General Limit Equilibrium (GLE) method to obtain the deterministic Factor of Safety (FoS). Monte Carlo simulation (N = 10.000 iterations) was applied to determine the Probability of Failure (PoF), coefficient of variation of FoS (CoV), and reliability index (β). Sensitivity analysis was performed to quantify the contribution of each geotechnical parameter to FoS reduction. Results show that FoS values ranged from 2,019 (Slope III) to 10,55 (Slope II), all exceeding the regulatory minimum of 1,1. The PoF was 0,00% for all three slopes, well below the maximum allowable limit of 25%, with reliability indices ranging from 5,70 to 31,38. The CoV of FoS ranged from 3% to 9%, indicating low dispersion in stability outcomes despite parameter variability. Sensitivity analysis identified cohesion as the most dominant parameter in Slopes I and II, contributing 28% and 31% to FoS reduction respectively, while Slope III exhibited near-equal contributions from cohesion (20%) and friction angle (21%), reflecting its lower shear strength conditions. All three slopes satisfy the acceptance criteria of Kepmen ESDM No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018 under current geotechnical and geometric conditions. The combined deterministic-probabilistic approach provides a more comprehensive slope safety assessment than deterministic analysis alone and is recommended for application in artisanal kaolin mining operations. Cohesion is identified as the critical parameter to be monitored and preserved to maintain slope stability.

Governing Food Security in The Low-Carbon Transition: A SEM Analysis of Sustainable Industrialization, Sustainable Remediation, and Circular Supply Chain Governance

Prananta, Arie Wahyu, Suyadnya, I Wayan, Kusumawardana, Indra Jaya, Abidin, Zainal
Abstract: Food security in the low-carbon transition is increasingly shaped by industrial decarbonization, environmental restoration, and circular supply-chain coordination, yet these domains are often modeled as separate sustainability&#8230; bility agendas. This study addresses the gap by developing a governance-centered structural equation model that links sustainable industrialization, sustainable remediation, circular supply chain governance, and food-security outcomes. Using the available 455-response dataset, the empirical test operationalizes industrialization intensity (IND) as a proxy for sustainable industrialization, digital-institutional capability (DIC) as a proxy for circular governance capability, and social-economic resilience (SER) as a proxy for food-system security. Confirmatory factor analysis supports the measurement model: standardized loadings range from .778 to .849 for IND, .804 to .835 for DIC, and .800 to .843 for SER; CR values range from .901 to .914; AVE ranges from .646 to .681; and model fit is acceptable (chi-square/df = 2.108, CFI = .961, TLI = .951, RMSEA = .049, SRMR = .038). The SEM results show that IND significantly predicts DIC (beta = .537, p < .001), DIC predicts SER (beta = .424, p < .001), and IND retains a direct effect on SER (beta = .337, p < .001). The indirect effect is significant (beta = .228, 95% CI [.178, .282]). The article contributes a cautious, data-grounded framework for analyzing food security as a governance-mediated outcome of low-carbon industrial transition.

The Effect Of Packing Machine Automation On Operator Productivity With Moderation Of Technical Competence And Workload Perception

Kartika, Mohammad, Churiyah, Madziatul, Soetjipto, Budi Eko
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.&#8230; 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.

Determinants of Auditor Turnover Moderated by Job Satisfaction at Public Accounting Firms in East Java

Koeswardani, Grana, Sulistyo, Endah, Sari, Rida Perwita
Abstract: The present study is a statistical hypothesis testing research aimed at examining the determinants of auditor turnover intention, specifically the influence of work motivation, workload, and time budget pressure as independent&#8230; endent variables, with job satisfaction acting as a moderating variable. The research was conducted among auditors working at Public Accounting Firms in East Java. The population of the study consisted of junior and senior auditors employed at medium- and large-scale firms operating in the region. Data were collected using a survey method through primary questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0 to test the structural relationships between variables. The findings of this study indicate that work motivation negatively influences turnover intention, whereas workload and time budget pressure positively influence turnover intention. The results also show that job satisfaction moderates the relationship between work motivation and turnover intention, strengthening its negative effect. However, job satisfaction does not significantly moderate the influence of workload or time budget pressure on turnover intention. Overall, the study highlights the crucial role of job satisfaction in reducing the tendency of auditors to leave their organization, especially in environments with varying levels of motivation, workload, and time pressure.

Abstract: This study aims to design the warehouse tata letak at PT MIKRON PRESISI INDONESIA that experiences post-relocation irregularities in production facilities, along with adjustments to the area area and available rental costs.&#8230; ts. The absence of a racking system and clear classification of goods has caused the storage, retrieval, and work safety processes to not run efficiently. The research approach uses a qualitative descriptive method by collecting data through field observations, interviews, and documentation. The tata letak design was carried out by implementing the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) and Activity Relationship Diagram (ARD) methods, then tested through simulations using FlexSim software with two operator scenarios. The simulation results showed that the proposed alternative tata letak design was able to improve the workflow by grouping goods into seven categories and arranging shelves based on the level of proximity of activities. However, the utilization rate of operators is still relatively low, namely 17.65% and 19.78%, due to the periodic pattern of goods arrival and efficient search times due to a more structured storage system. These findings indicate opportunities for human resource optimization through reducing the number of operators or adjusting workloads. The resulting tata letak design makes a practical contribution to improving warehouse space efficiency and operations, and can be used as a reference for applications for companies with similar characteristics.
