UNDERSTANDING STUDENTS’ FINANCIAL BEHAVIOR THROUGH LIFESTYLE AND OPEN INNOVATION PERSPECTIVES

2025-12-19T06:22:55+07:00

The rapid growth of digital financial innovation has increased the complexity of financial decision-making among university students. Although financial literacy is commonly viewed as a key driver of financial behavior, prior studies report inconsistent results, indicating a persistent knowledge–behavior gap. Addressing this gap, this study examines the roles of financial attitude and lifestyle as mediating mechanisms linking financial literacy to students’ financial behavior, grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior and an open innovation perspective.

The study aims to analyze the direct and indirect effects of financial literacy on financial behavior among university students. Data were collected from 398 students across public and private universities and analyzed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 4. Measurement model assessment confirmed adequate reliability and validity, followed by structural model and mediation analyses. The results indicate that financial literacy has significant positive effects on financial attitude, lifestyle, and financial behavior. However, lifestyle emerges as the strongest predictor and the only significant mediator, while financial attitude does not mediate the literacy behavior relationship. These findings demonstrate that financial behavior is shaped more by daily consumption patterns than by attitudinal factors alone. This study contributes by extending TPB within an open innovation and complexity framework, emphasizing lifestyle based mechanisms as a key pathway for transforming financial knowledge into actual behavior.

ENHANCING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH THROUGH E-WOM, BRAND IMAGE, PRICE, AND CUSTOMER LOYALTY: EVIDENCE FROM BARENBLISS COSMETICS ON TOKOPEDIA

2025-12-09T23:55:08+07:00

The expansion of Indonesia’s digital economy has reshaped marketing practices, particularly in e-commerce, where beauty and personal care products are among the fastest-growing segments. Barenbliss Cosmetics, a Korean beauty brand gaining popularity in Indonesia, benefits from platforms such as Tokopedia to engage young, urban consumers. Prior studies confirm that Electronic Word of Mouth (E-WOM), brand image, and price significantly influence purchase decisions; however, limited research has examined how these variables collectively contribute to customer loyalty and sustainable growth in the cosmetics sector. This study addresses this gap by integrating loyalty and sustainable growth as strategic outcomes, offering a novel perspective that links tactical marketing factors to long-term business performance.

The objective of this research is to analyze the effects of E-WOM, brand image, and price on purchase decisions and to investigate how these decisions translate into customer loyalty and sustainable growth. A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected through online questionnaires distributed to Tokopedia consumers who have purchased Barenbliss products. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to test both direct and indirect relationships among variables.

The results demonstrate that E-WOM, brand image, and price significantly affect purchase decisions, with brand image emerging as the strongest predictor. Furthermore, customer loyalty is found to mediate the relationship between purchase decisions and sustainable growth. The findings highlight that integrating E-WOM, branding, and pricing strategies is essential not only for influencing short-term consumer behavior but also for ensuring sustainable growth in competitive digital marketplaces.

DETERMINATION OF THE GINI RATIO IN INDONESIA IN 2020–2024: A PANEL DATA STUDY OF 10 PROVINCES

2025-11-29T18:56:10+07:00

This study analyzes the effect of the Minimum Wage, Open Unemployment Rate, and Economic Growth on the Gini Ratio in 10 Indonesian provinces with high inequality—DI Yogyakarta, DKI Jakarta, West Java, Gorontalo, Papua, West Papua, East Java, South Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara, and Central Java—during 2020–2024. Using a quantitative approach with panel data multiple linear regression, the analysis applies the Chow, Hausman, and LM tests, along with classical assumption tests. Data were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency. The results indicate that the Random Effect Model (REM) is the most appropriate model. The Minimum Wage, Open Unemployment Rate, and Economic Growth each show positive but insignificant effects on the Gini Ratio and are also jointly insignificant, suggesting that income inequality in these provinces is influenced more by factors beyond these variables

DIGITAL STORYTELLING AND GREEN VALUE: BUILDING INTENTION FOR ECO-FRIENDLY SHOPPING BAGS

2025-11-08T15:14:45+07:00

This study explores how Digital Storytelling (DS) and Green Value Perception (GVP) influence consumers’ Purchase Intention (PI) toward recycled plastic shopping bags, with Customer Engagement (CE) acting as a mediating variable. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Narrative Transportation Theory, and Customer Engagement Theory, the research investigates how emotional stories and perceptions of environmental value encourage sustainable purchasing decisions. Data were obtained from 360 respondents in Palembang City, Indonesia, through a structured online survey, and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that both DS and GVP have significant positive effects on CE and PI, while CE partially mediates these relationships. These findings suggest that when consumers are emotionally drawn into authentic digital narratives and perceive clear ecological benefits, they are more likely to act on sustainable intentions. This study extends the growing body of sustainability marketing research by offering an integrative framework that connects narrative-based communication, perceived green value, and consumer engagement—providing insights especially relevant for developing markets seeking to foster environmentally responsible behavior.

ANALYSIS OF HUMAN CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND INCOME INEQUALITY IN INDONESIA

2025-11-29T22:49:31+07:00

This study examines the heterogeneous effects of human capital investment—encompassing education, job training, health, and technology—on income inequality across districts and cities in Indonesia. Using individual microdata from the 2023 National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) and the National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas), the data are aggregated to the district/city level to capture regional disparities in income distribution. The analysis employs multiple linear regression with robust standard errors to address heteroscedasticity inherent in aggregated data.

The empirical results indicate that regional health conditions are associated with significantly lower income inequality, while job training participation and technology adoption exhibit positive and significant relationships with inequality. These findings challenge the conventional assumption that all forms of human capital investment uniformly reduce inequality and instead highlight a “digital paradox,” whereby unequal regional access to skills development and technology intensifies income disparities. This study contributes to the literature by identifying job training and technology as potential drivers of inequality in the absence of inclusive regional access. The policy implications underscore the importance of targeted vocational programs and equitable digital infrastructure development in underdeveloped regions

ETNO TRADITIONAL ACCOUNTING: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE ACCOUNTING AND THEIR RELEVANCE TO THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY

2025-12-15T20:28:25+07:00

This study aims to explore accounting values in the local tradition of otok-otok and examine their relevance to the concept of time value of money from an ethno-accounting perspective. Otok-otok is a routine tradition of the Madurese people, similar to an arisan, which is carried out in turns with the aim of strengthening family ties and maintaining family harmony. This tradition is not only social in nature but also has accounting value as a form of collective savings (ompangan), for example, for weddings. This tradition focuses more on family routines or the family's intention to carry out otok-otok traditions such as circumcision, building a house, and requires capital based on trust and a sense of responsibility. Uniquely, otok-otok does not involve profit or interest in a continuous period, but rather a sense of shame, responsibility and kinship. This study uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods through observation, interviews and documentation in Bulang Hamlet, Pangilen Village, Sampang Subdistrict, Sampang Regency. The results of the study show that the otok-otok tradition, which is simply recorded in the jhelen book, still reflects the principle of time value of money without a formal discount mechanism. Thus, the otok-otok tradition is a cultural heritage as well as an alternative community financial system that is inclusive, fair, and sustainable

THE ROLE OF WORK DISCIPLINE AS A MODERATING VARIABLE IN THE EFFECT OF TRAINING AND JOB PLACEMENT ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE AT THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING AGENCY (BAPPEDA LITBANG)

2026-01-13T14:58:29+07:00

This study aims to examine the effect of training and job placement on employee performance with work discipline as a moderating variable at the Regional Development Planning, Research, and Development Agency of Banyuasin Regency. The research employs a quantitative approach using a census method, involving all 77 employees of Bappeda Litbang Banyuasin Regency as respondents. Research data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method with the assistance of SmartPLS version 3.0 software. The results indicate that training and job placement have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Work discipline is also proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. However, the moderation effect testing shows that work discipline does not moderate the relationship between training and employee performance, nor between job placement and employee performance. These findings suggest that improvements in employee performance are primarily influenced by the direct effects of training, job placement, and work discipline itself, without the role of work discipline as a moderating variable in the relationship among these variables.
