Yohana Yohana — 2025-03-05

This research is a quantitative study that aims to determine the effect of teacher digital literacy on the utilization of online learning media and the competence of elementary school teachers in Bongan District, West Kutai Regency. Sampling using random sampling technique. Data collection was done with a closed question questionnaire with a Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed by multiple linear regression.

The study found that partially there is no significant effect of digital literacy on teacher competence and produced a regression equation Y = 109.989 + 0.209X₁+ 0.05.. Meanwhile, the utilization of online learning media has a significant effect on teacher competence and produces a regression equation Y = 95.005 + 0.281X₂+ 0.05. Multiple regression analysis found that digital literacy and utilization of online learning media simultaneously have a significant effect on teacher competence. the test results of the coefficient of determination (R Square) produced an R square number (0.218) has a meaning equal to 21.8%. This figure means that the variance of the teacher competency variable (Y) contributed a value of 21.8%. Then the remaining 78.2% (100% - 21.8% = 78.2%) is influenced by other variables not examined in this study.

Legal Analysis of the Replacement of Retention Money with Retention Bond in Ongoing

Singgar Mataniari Wibowo — 2025-03-05

Purpose –This study aims to analyze the legal basis related to Retention Money and Retention Bond in construction contract practices and provisions regarding the implementation of the transition from Retention Money to Retention Bond in ongoing contracts.

Methodology/approach –This study uses a qualitative approach with analysis of contract documents, applicable legal regulations, and technical data related to the project. It also analyzes additional information obtained through previous literature reviews.

Findings –In Retention Money, the Owner will directly withhold payment for the work until an agreed amount is reached, but in the development of construction this will certainly hinder the investment capabilities of the party implementing the work.

Novelty/value –Considering the risks that may occur during the construction period, and ensuring the ability to carry out the work during the Defect Notification Period, retention is usually required. In its development, Retention Bond can be used to protect the Owner against the failure of the work implementer to perform after the work is carried out (Taking Over Certificate). Retention Bond can be constructed as an accessoir agreement, namely an additional or accompanying agreement and cannot stand alone without a preceding principal agreement.

Isomorphism of Hotel Management Contract and Capital Expenditure

Trilas Prillona — 2025-03-12

Purpose -The purpose of this study is to explore the power relationship between the hotel owner and operator in the hotel management contract and capital expenditure (FFE) and the contract has not fully fulfilled the management contract standards and the suitability of the objectives in improving the overall performance and value of the property.
Methodology/approach-This research is qualtitative, where informan from discusses the cooperation contract for the management of a local hotel chain between PT TBA.
Findings-The results show that hotel management contracts and capital expenditure in hotels, i.e. the power relationship between owners and operators, are influenced by the three types of isomorphism. Coercive isomorphism creates pressure to comply with regulations, mimetic isomorphism encourages owners to imitate successful practices, and normative isomorphism gives legitimacy to operators who have norms or standards in the hotel business. Capital expenditure and Return on Investment (ROI) analyzes are influenced by these three isomorphisms. Coercive isomorphism indicates pressure to fulfill regulations, mimetic isomorphism encourages owners to mimic successful investments from other Santika Hotels, and normative isomorphism gives legitimacy to capital expenditure that is in line with Santika Group Hotel standards.
Novelty/value-The isomorphism of hotel management contracts and capital expenditure can be seen from how hotels adapt and develop new practices in the face of pressures from both external and internal environments.

Liquidity and Company Size Impact on Capital Structure with Profitability Mediation

Muhammad Yusuf — 2025-06-15

This study examines and analyzes the effect of liquidity and firm size on capital structure, with profitability as a mediating variable in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) from 2019 to 2023. Capital structure is crucial in balancing debt and equity to support company operations and investments. According to the Pecking Order Theory, firms with high liquidity tend to rely on internal financing, whereas the Trade-Off Theory suggests that larger firms find it easier to access external funding at lower costs. This study analyzes seven causal relationships among liquidity, firm size, profitability, and capital structure. The research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression analysis and the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The sample was selected through purposive sampling, consisting of 10 mining companies that met specific criteria. Data processing is conducted using EViews version 12. The independent variables in this study are liquidity and firm size, while capital structure serves as the dependent variable, with profitability acting as a mediating variable. The results indicate that liquidity negatively affects both profitability and capital structure, whereas firm size positively influences profitability and capital structure. Profitability negatively impacts capital structure and mediates the relationship between liquidity and capital structure. However, profitability does not significantly mediate the relationship between firm size and capital structure. These findings have implications for companies in optimizing their capital structure management and for investors in assessing corporate financing policies for investment decisions.

Interaction Between Local Culture, Financial Technology, and MSME Performance: A Systematic Literature Review

Kurniati Karim — 2025-06-28

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a crucial role in the national economy, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. MSMEs not only contribute to GDP but also absorb a large number of workers (Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, 2023). In the context of globalization and digitalization, financial technology (fintech) is a new driver for MSMEs to increase access to financial services. However, the adoption of fintech cannot be separated from the local cultural context that influences the behavior, beliefs, and preferences of MSME actors. Therefore, it is important to understand the interaction between local culture, financial technology, and MSME performance. This study was conducted using a systematic literature review method with the PRISMA approach. The identification process was carried out through the Google Scholar, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases with the keywords: "local culture", "financial technology", "MSMEs performance", and "Indonesia". The selected articles numbered 25, published between 2013 and 2024, with a focus on empirical and conceptual studies that discuss the relationship between the three variables.
