Property technology (PropTech) applications are growing rapidly in Indonesia, especially in the Greater Jakarta area, reflecting the increasing demand for efficient digital property transactions. This study seeks to assess the factors that influence users' intention to engage with PropTech applications using a model that combines variables such as Perceived Usability, Perceived Ease of Use, Trustworthiness, Accuracy of Perceived Information, and Quality of Perceived Information. The data were analyzed using a research model developed from previous literature, adopting a modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) that incorporates several relevant factors influencing the adoption of Property Technology (PropTech) applications. Perceived Compatibility, Perceived Risk, and Social Influence. The data were collected through a survey involving 400 Indonesian respondents living in Greater Jakarta. The findings show that factors such as perceived usability, trust, and social Influence significantly influence users' intent to use PropTech applications. This research offers valuable insights for improving marketing strategies and improving service quality among PropTech application providers. These results underscore that utility, information quality, and social Influence are the main drivers for adopting PropTech solutions, while trust and risk serve as mediators that increase perceived usability.
This study examines how electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM), national identity, and perceived quality influence the online purchase decisions of Indonesian products among the Indonesian diaspora in Qatar. The study provides insight into the role of digital communication and national identity in shaping consumers' quality evaluations and cross-border purchasing behavior. A quantitative approach was employed using data collected from 200 respondents through purposive sampling and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that e-WOM and national identity positively and significantly affect perceived quality. Furthermore, perceived quality and national identity have positive and significant effects on purchase decisions. Perceived quality also partially mediates the relationship between national identity and purchase decisions. The findings are discussed from the perspectives of digital communication and social identity, emphasizing the interaction between online information and consumers' attachment to their home country. The study demonstrates that the purchase decisions of the Indonesian diaspora are shaped not only by national identity but also by quality perceptions developed through digital communication.
This study aims to analyse the role of Generation Z leadership in supporting work-life balance implementation and its implications for enhancing professionalism in public service at the Sumbawa Barat Police Traffic Unit. The development of Generation Z leadership characteristics, which are characterised by open communication, collaboration, technological adaptation, and concern for members’ welfare, presents an interesting phenomenon to examine within police organisational environments that have high work demands and are oriented towards public service. This research also identifies supporting and inhibiting factors for Generation Z leadership in realising work-life balance to improve the quality of service to the community. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected from various literature sources, including scientific journals, books, and previous relevant research related to Generation Z leadership, work-life balance, professionalism, and public service. Data analysis involved data collection, reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions from findings related to the research focus. The results indicate that Generation Z leadership plays a strategic role in supporting work-life balance through digital technology adoption, open communication, a collaborative work culture, and member empowerment. Supporting factors for implementing work-life balance include the ability to utilise digital technology, transformational leadership, a collaborative work culture, organisational support, and flexible work management. Conversely, inhibiting factors include high public service demands, hierarchical work culture, work-related stress, blurred boundaries between work and personal life due to technological developments, and differing perceptions between organisational generations. Implementing work-life balance has shown positive effects on public service quality, member productivity, job satisfaction, organisational commitment, reduced work-related stress, and increased professionalism in the Sumbawa Barat Police Traffic Unit.
The Shopee app is widely used in Indonesia, making it one of the fastest-growing e-commerce marketplaces. This study examines how perceived value influences electronic word-of-mouth (E-WoM) and brand loyalty, and investigates the mediating role of brand loyalty among users of Shopee's gamification features. This study employs a quantitative methodology, applying Hair's formula to analyze data collected from 180 active Shopee consumers via a questionnaire. The study analyzed the data using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that brand loyalty and E-WoM are positively and significantly influenced by perceived value, which encompasses utilitarian, hedonic, and social value. Furthermore, this study shows that brand loyalty mediates the effect of perceived value on E-WoM, meaning that enhancing users' perceived value can strengthen customer loyalty and encourage the tendency to share information online.
Nickel downstreaming has become a public agenda that brings together industrial development narratives with environmental concerns, public health, governance, employment, occupational safety, and social impacts. This study analyzes the agenda-building process within the corporate communication strategy of PT Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP) when responding to nickel downstreaming issues in the media. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach and a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four IWIP communication practitioners; content analysis of JATAM and Mongabay as the context for external issue agendas; 13 IWIP owned-media posts; 152 media placement publications; and corporate communication documents from January to July 2025. The findings show that IWIP's agenda-building process consists of six interconnected stages: monitoring external issue agendas, mapping issue substance and escalation, selecting the response agenda, coordinating cross-functionally and validating data, constructing corporate issue attributes and messages, and distributing them through owned media and media placement. The company does not respond directly to every issue but selects issues based on relevance, impact, organizational authority, data readiness, and communication risk. Owned media sustains the corporate agenda through representations of activities and programs, while media placement broadens reach and situates issues within the contexts of downstreaming, occupational safety, employment, sustainability, and development. The findings indicate that corporate responses to media issues are not merely message-delivery activities, but a selective, data-based, non-confrontational, and long-term corporate agenda-building process.
This study examines the influence of brand ambassador, brand image, social media marketing, and word of mouth on students' purchasing decisions for Samsung smartphones at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Wijayakusuma Purwokerto. The study used a quantitative associative approach with multiple linear regression analysis. The sample size was determined using the Lemeshow formula, yielding a minimum of 97 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire and analyzed using validity, reliability, classical assumption, and hypothesis tests. The regression equation obtained was Y = 2.702 + 0.174X₁ + 0.300X₂ + 0.297X₃ + 0.290X₄ + e, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.608, indicating that the four independent variables explain 60.8% of the variance in purchasing decisions. The F-test result (F = 14.081 > F-table = 2.471, sig. = 0.000) confirmed the model's overall significance. The t-test results showed that brand ambassador (t = 2.151), brand image (t = 2.530), social media marketing (t = 3.568), and word of mouth (t = 3.794) each exceeded the critical t-table value of 1.662 with significance levels below 0.05, indicating that all four variables have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. These findings suggest that Samsung should continue to leverage credible brand ambassadors, consistent brand positioning, engaging social media content, and positive consumer-to-consumer communication to strengthen purchasing decisions among student consumers.
Land Sale and Purchase Agreements (PPJB) frequently lead to disputes between the parties because of an imbalance in rights and obligations, unclear land ownership status, and breaches of contractual obligations. The legal issues arising from these disputes concern the notary's role as a public official authorized to prepare authentic deeds, particularly when those deeds later become the subject of legal disputes. Accordingly, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the notary's role in resolving PPJB disputes and to identify the legal principles that form the basis of the notary's authority in mediation. This research employs a normative juridical method using both statutory and conceptual approaches. The statutory approach examines the legal provisions governing the role and authority of notaries, while the conceptual approach draws on literature reviews and legal doctrine to provide a comprehensive understanding of the notary's position in mediating PPJB-related disputes. The findings reveal that notaries perform a strategic function not only as officials responsible for drafting authentic deeds but also as mediators in resolving disputes arising from Land Sale and Purchase Agreements (PPJB). Their mediation role contributes to strengthening the principles of legal certainty, utility, and justice. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of this role remains constrained because existing regulations do not expressly recognize mediation as a principal authority of notaries. Therefore, legal regulations should be strengthened to provide stronger legitimacy for the notary's mediation function in settling civil disputes.
Background: Digital platforms increasingly mediate welfare, services, finance, labour, and entrepreneurship, while research on platform power remains fragmented and Global-North dominated. Gap: Platform political economy, algorithmic governance, data extraction, and inclusion are rarely integrated with development theory or Global South evidence. Objective: This study maps these gaps and develops a structural synthesis. Method: An interpretive systematic review of 30 Scopus-retrieved scholarly publications (journal articles and scholarly books/book chapters) published in 2010–2025 used PRISMA reporting and thematic–geographic coding. Results: Algorithmic governance dominated (18; 60%); resistance (9; 30%), infrastructure (8; 27%), and data colonialism/digital sovereignty (7; 23%) followed. Five studies (17%) engaged development theory; four (13%) focused directly on the Global South. Conclusion: The review develops a four-dimensional typology rather than a validated causal model. Implications: The framework extends dependency, developmental-state, and capability perspectives and guides future empirical testing.
Financial conglomerates hold the majority of Indonesia’s financial system assets. The recent enactment of Law No. 4 of 2023, alongside OJK Regulation No. 30 of 2024, has significantly widened the supervisory perimeter from four to thirteen categories of financial services institutions. Despite these massive regulatory shifts, whether this structural policy pays for itself in performance terms remains empirically untested. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether the financial conglomerates policy raises banking profitability and efficiency in Indonesia when the macroeconomic environment is held constant. The research employs a dynamic panel analysis of fifteen conglomerate groups observed quarterly from 2019Q1 to 2025Q2 (315 usable observations), estimated via fixed effects with standard errors clustered at the group level. Dependent variables include return on assets, net interest margin, and the operating-expense-to-operating-income ratio. Conglomeration policy is proxied by group asset share and group membership share, supported by macroeconomic control variables. Furthermore, a PRISMA-based systematic literature review of eleven Scopus-indexed studies complements the estimation. The results show that the asset-share proxy carries a negative and weakly significant coefficient on return on assets and is statistically indistinguishable from zero for margin and cost efficiency. By contrast, the membership proxy is positively and significantly associated with return on assets, indicating that perimeter breadth and asset concentration operate through opposite channels. Ultimately, the findings conclude a resilience-profitability trade-off: the conglomerate structure that improves credit risk outcomes simultaneously compresses returns. As a policy implication, financial supervisors should price this trade-off explicitly rather than assume that prudential consolidation is performance-neutral.
Content Knowledge (CK) and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) are core components of mathematics teachers’ competence, yet they are rarely measured simultaneously through technology-based diagnostic assessment. This study measures and profiles the CK and PCK of mathematics pre-service teachers using a diagnostic Computer-Based Test (CBT). A quantitative descriptive-correlational design was applied to 30 purposively selected pre-service teachers. Each construct was measured with 25 multiple-choice items whose content validity was established by expert judgment and whose reliability was confirmed before use (KR-20 = 0.81 for CK; 0.79 for PCK). Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression after assumption checks. Mean CK (50.00%) and PCK (52.67%) were both below the 75% mastery threshold, with 60% of students in the low category; specialized content knowledge and knowledge of content and curriculum were the weakest dimensions. CK and PCK correlated strongly and positively (r = 0.72; p < 0.001), with CK accounting for about 52% of the variance in PCK as a predictive, non-causal association. The CBT generated actionable diagnostic profiles at the dimension and indicator levels. These findings support using diagnostic CBT to guide data-driven curriculum reform integrating content mastery and pedagogical capacity.
Learning fractions remains a significant challenge in elementary education, often hindered by specific learning obstacles. This study aims to develop GeoGebra-assisted teaching materials integrated with a Hypothetical Learning Trajectory (HLT) to bridge the gap between these obstacles and conceptual understanding. Adopting an Educational Design Research (EDR) approach, the study progressed through three iterative phases: analysis and exploration, design and construction, and evaluation and reflection. The development was grounded in an initial pedagogical analysis of student learning obstacles, which informed the HLT design. Data were collected through expert validation, teacher interviews, and field testing with 161 elementary students (divided into small-scale and large-scale trials), then analyzed qualitatively using retrospective analysis and constant comparative methods.The quantitative results indicate that the GeoGebra-based materials are highly valid (92.75% from media experts) and practical (81.75% in large-scale trials), effectively transforming the HLT into a verified learning path. However, qualitative findings revealed a critical nuance: while students engaged enthusiastically with dynamic visualizations, some faced challenges in transitioning from visual area models to formal symbolic notation. This underscores the necessity of teacher-led instrumental orchestration to scaffold mathematical generalizations. This research concludes that the synergy between dynamic geometry software and a structured learning trajectory provides a robust framework for overcoming cognitive barriers, provided it is integrated within a dialogic instructional environment.
Background: Public-sector audits are expected to strengthen accountability and fiscal management, but their relationship with regional development remains unclear, particularly when audit intensity is positioned as an intervening construct. This study examines whether perceived audit intensity mediates the associations between fiscal-economic conditions and regional development in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 539 officials purposively selected from 26 provincial, district, and municipal government entities. Data were collected using an 81-item five-point Likert questionnaire and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Specific indirect effects were assessed using the delta method. Results: Economic growth was positively associated with regional development (β = 0.709, p < 0.001). Economic growth (β = 0.280, p = 0.001), local revenue (β = 0.294, p < 0.001), investment (β = 0.134, p = 0.036), and accountability and effectiveness (β = 0.562, p < 0.001) were positively associated with perceived audit intensity. Conversely, perceived audit intensity was negatively associated with regional development (β = −0.261, p = 0.008). Significant negative indirect associations were observed for economic growth, local revenue, and accountability and effectiveness, but not for investment. The model explained 71.4% of the variance in regional development. Conclusion: Perceived audit intensity did not constitute a positive pathway between fiscal-economic conditions and regional development. Its developmental value may depend on whether audit findings are translated into corrective action and integrated into planning and budgeting. Given the cross-sectional design, purposive sampling, and perceptual measures, the indirect effects represent concurrent statistical associations rather than causal mediation.
This study aimed to examine the effect of the Cooperative Learning model of the Group Investigation (GI) type assisted by the Make a Match game on students’ mathematical problem-solving ability in statistics. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 53 eighth-grade students, with 27 students in the experimental group and 26 students in the control group. Data were collected using an essay test of mathematical problem-solving ability that met the validity and reliability requirements (r₁₁ = 0.930). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Lilliefors normality test, the homogeneity test, an independent-samples t-test, and Cohen’s d effect size. The results showed that the mean posttest score of the experimental class was 83.78, compared with 78.96 for the control class. The t-test result showed a t-count of 2.190, which was greater than the t-table value of 2.008 at α = 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. The Cohen’s d value of 0.60 indicated a medium effect. Therefore, the Cooperative Learning model of the Group Investigation type assisted by the Make a Match game had a significant and practically meaningful effect on students’ mathematical problem-solving ability in statistics.
Mathematical problem-solving ability is an essential competency in mathematics learning, yet students still experience difficulties in understanding problems, determining strategies, and evaluating solutions. Although Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) and Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) have been widely applied in mathematics learning, their integration to improve mathematical problem-solving ability remains relatively limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of the RME-based ADI learning model on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities in Systems of Linear Equations in Three Variables (SPLTV). This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design involving 72 Grade X students at SMA Negeri 2 Percut Sei Tuan. Data were collected using an essay test and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk test, Levene's test, independent-samples t-test, and Cohen's d. The experimental class obtained a higher mean post-test score (85.24) than the control class (67.56), with p < 0.001 and an effect size of 3.548, categorized as a huge effect. These findings indicate that the RME-based ADI model can be an effective alternative for improving students' mathematical problem-solving abilities.
Mathematics learning requires instructional approaches that enable students to understand abstract concepts through meaningful experiences. Ethnomathematics offers opportunities to connect mathematical ideas with cultural contexts; however, previous studies have largely focused on identifying mathematical concepts in cultural objects, while empirical evidence on the effectiveness of culture-based instructional materials remains limited. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Banten culture-based ethnomathematics video instructional materials in learning the Pythagorean Theorem. This study employed a posttest-only quasi-experimental design involving 60 eighth-grade students from a junior high school in Banten, Indonesia. The participants were divided into an experimental group ( ) and a control group ( ), with initial equivalence examined using Mid-Semester Test scores. Data were collected through a validated essay test and analysed using descriptive statistics, assumption tests, and an independent samples t-test. The experimental group achieved a higher mean posttest score (66.98) than the control group (46.11). The difference was statistically significant, , , with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.95). The findings indicate that the developed instructional materials significantly improved students’ learning outcomes compared with conventional textbook-based instruction. However, the study was limited to one school and a relatively small sample. Future studies should involve broader contexts and additional learning variables.
Urban flooding has become increasingly frequent due to rapid urbanization, climate change, and the limited capacity of drainage infrastructure, prompting growing scholarly attention to the effectiveness of drainage revitalization policies across countries. However, the literature examining the relationship between policy implementation and flood management effectiveness remains fragmented across different disciplines and methodological approaches, and has not yet been systematically synthesized. This study aims to identify, evaluate, and synthesize scientific literature on the effectiveness of flood management through the implementation of drainage revitalization policies, using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA 2020 framework. Literature searches were conducted in Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, MDPI, and Scopus databases using the keywords policy implementation, drainage revitalization, flood management effectiveness, and flood management policy implementation, resulting in 41 relevant articles selected from an initial pool of 312 studies after undergoing the stages of identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion. The synthesis identified four major themes influencing flood management effectiveness through drainage revitalization: governance and institutional coordination; technical and infrastructural capacity; community participation and social adaptation; and approaches based on natural processes and geomorphology. The findings indicate that the success of drainage policies is consistently determined by the quality of implementation, particularly communication, resources, implementers' disposition, and bureaucratic structure, as proposed by Edwards III (1980), rather than solely by the scale of investment in physical infrastructure. This study concludes that flood management effectiveness results from a multidimensional interaction among policy quality, infrastructure performance, and institutional capacity. Therefore, future evaluations of drainage policies should integrate these three dimensions simultaneously to achieve more effective and sustainable urban flood management.
Extreme poverty remains an urgent global development challenge. Determinants such as education, employment status, and household size are often studied in isolation, fragmenting understanding of their interactions, while findings are inconsistent, particularly for household size and informal employment, motivating this review. This study synthesizes empirical evidence on how educational attainment, employment status, and household size affect the probability of household extreme poverty, identifying patterns of consistency and inconsistency across prior studies. Following PRISMA guidelines, this Systematic Literature Review searched Scopus using a Boolean string combining keywords for education, employment status, household size, and extreme poverty. Studies were selected via inclusion and exclusion criteria on year, language, type, and relevance; extraction was narrative, without formal quality assessment. Twelve studies support a negative education effect, though two report non-significant or reversed results. Eight studies link unstable employment to higher poverty risk, but only two directly test the formal-informal dichotomy. Nine studies agree that a larger household size raises poverty risk, though the magnitude varies up to sevenfold. Education and household size offer the most consistent evidence as determinants, while employment status needs further direct testing given reliance on non-equivalent proxies. Future research should integrate all three determinants into a single model and apply meta-analysis to test the identified magnitude gaps.
Local governments in Indonesia increasingly rely on multi-actor collaboration to deliver targeted social assistance to vulnerable groups, including the elderly poor. This study examines the stakeholder network underlying the Elderly Welfare Program (Program Sejahtera Lansia, ROSELA) implemented by the Social Affairs Office of Lamongan Regency, which provides a food-assistance cash transfer of Rp900,000 per beneficiary family (Keluarga Penerima Manfaat, KPM) every three months, reaching 80 KPM across eight sub-districts (kelurahan) in Lamongan District by fiscal year 2026. Using a descriptive qualitative case-study design, primary data were collected through in-depth interviews and field observation of purposively selected informants, complemented by secondary data from technical operational guidelines and integrated social welfare records. Data were analysed using Creswell's qualitative analysis procedure and interpreted through three complementary frameworks: Social Network Analysis (SNA), the policy implementation model of Van Meter and Van Horn, and Van Waarden's seven dimensions of policy networks. Findings show that the ROSELA network is complex and multi-actor, with the Social Affairs Office occupying a central hub position; high density at the operational level but low density across sectors; an isolated cluster of unregistered elderly; and the strongest triadic closure among the village head, social assistance officer, and food-catering provider. Policy standards are clear at the output level but not the outcome level; financial resources are adequate through partnership with a regional bank, but human resources and legal grounding remain weak. The network is best characterised as a centralised, hierarchical, directive network at a moderate level of institutionalisation, with uneven power distribution favouring government actors over beneficiaries. The study concludes that ROSELA is operationally effective but institutionally fragile, and recommends a permanent legal framework, cross-sectoral integration, and formal participation channels for beneficiaries.
The rapid expansion of digital financial services in Indonesia has increased fraud risks and intensified demands for technological transformation. Although artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied in fraud detection, the process through which governance conditions contribute to fraud reduction remains insufficiently understood. This study examines the development of AI capabilities within Indonesian financial institutions by integrating the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework and the Information Systems Success Model. AI capability development is conceptualized through three stages: AI Integration, AI Assimilation, and AI Effectiveness. Survey data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that regulatory pressure does not directly improve fraud reduction outcomes. Instead, regulatory and organizational conditions support Data Quality, facilitating AI Integration and strengthening subsequent AI capability development. Fraud reduction is achieved only when AI systems reach operational effectiveness. The results suggest that fraud reduction represents an outcome of organizational capability development rather than a direct consequence of regulatory pressure or technological implementation alone.
Hospitals are under increasing pressure to improve service quality while maintaining financial sustainability under Indonesia’s National Health Insurance (JKN) reimbursement system. Clinical Pathway (CP) implementation and Length of Stay (LOS) are considered important strategies for improving cost efficiency, yet their financial impact remains inconsistent across healthcare settings. Previous studies have primarily examined the influence of Clinical Pathway implementation on service quality or Length of Stay separately. In contrast, evidence regarding the combined effects of Clinical Pathway compliance and Length of Stay on hospital cost efficiency, particularly in Type D hospitals, remains limited. This study aimed to analyse the effects of Clinical Pathway compliance and Length of Stay on cost efficiency among inpatients at Marsudi Waluyo Hospital, Malang Regency, using Gross Profit Margin (GPM) as the indicator of cost efficiency. A quantitative study with an observational, analytic, and retrospective design was conducted using secondary data from medical records, Clinical Pathway forms, hospital information systems, billing records, and casemix data. The study included 361 inpatient care episodes selected through total sampling. Multiple linear regression was employed to examine the relationships among variables, and bootstrap analysis with 1,000 resamples was applied to enhance the robustness of the estimates. Clinical Pathway compliance significantly affected Gross Profit Margin (β = −0.341, p = 0.029), while Length of Stay also showed a significant negative effect (β = −10.385, p < 0.001). Simultaneously, both variables significantly influenced Gross Profit Margin (F = 30.800, p < 0.001), explaining 14.7% of its variance (R² = 0.147). Length of Stay demonstrated a stronger influence on cost efficiency. This study also contributes empirical evidence on hospital cost efficiency in a Type D hospital and provides practical guidance for hospital managers in developing evidence-based cost-control strategies.
