This research aims to analyze the influence of technology and business duration on the income of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) coffee shops in Medan City, with labor as an intervening variable. The rapid growth of the coffee shop industry in Medan has intensified competition among business owners, making the adoption of technology, business experience, and labor effectiveness crucial factors for increasing income. This study employs a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS). The research sample consists of MSME coffee shop owners selected through purposive sampling. The variables include technology (X1), Length of a business (X2), labor (Z), and income (Y). The findings reveal that technology has a positive and significant effect on income and also influences labor. Business duration positively affects both income and labor. Moreover, labor significantly affects income and mediates the relationship between technology and income, as well as between business duration and income. These results indicate that optimal technology utilization, longer business experience, and sufficient labor quality are key determinants of income improvement among MSME coffee shops in Medan City. This research is expected to serve as a reference for business owners and policymakers in formulating strategies for sustainable MSME development

THE INFLUENCE OF CAREER EXPECTATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY LITERACY ON JOB-SEEKING INTENTION AMONG GENERATION Z THROUGH MOTIVATION: A CASE STUDY IN PEKANBARU
This study explores the influence of Career Expectations and Technology Literacy on Job-Seeking Intention (JSI) among Generation Z in Pekanbaru, with Motivation acting as a mediating variable. Through a quantitative approach, data was collected from 130 participants, including both students and recent graduates. The findings reveal that Career Expectations have an indirect influence on JSI through Motivation, emphasizing that while high Career Expectations shape Motivation, it is Motivation that more directly influences job-seeking behaviors. Additionally, Technology Literacy was found to significantly enhance JSI, highlighting the importance of digital skills in navigating modern job-search platforms. The study suggests that while Career Expectations set the foundation for motivation, it is the individual’s level of Motivation and Technology Literacy that drives their Job-Seeking Intensity. These results provide valuable insights into how Generation Z’s job-seeking behaviors are shaped by psychological and technological factors, offering practical implications for educational institutions and policymakers to better support the career readiness of young people.

INFLUENCE OF COMPANY AGE, GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, PRACTICES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE ON INTERNET FINANCIAL REPORTING (IFR) (Empirical Study on Company LQ45 Year 2017 - 2019)
Financial reporting on the internet is voluntary. There are no specific regulations governing IFR disclosure, so there is a gap in IFR practices between companies. This causes differences in the quality of reporting submitted by companies on their websites. The primary objective of this study is to investigate how the age of a company, effective corporate governance practices, and financial performance impact the extent of Internet Financial Reporting (IFR) disclosure. The data for this study was gathered from www.idx.co.id and company websites. The target population consisted of companies listed in the LQ45 index during August 2019. The sampling method employed was purposive sampling, resulting in 28 out of 45 companies meeting the criteria for inclusion in the study sample. Multiple regression analysis using SPSS 27 software was utilized to analyze the data. The findings of the study suggest that leverage plays a significant role in determining the level of Internet Financial Reporting (IFR) disclosure, while factors such as company age, Good Corporate Governance practices, and profitability do not seem to have an impact on the extent of IFR disclosure
ECONOMIC STRATEGIES OF PALM OIL FARMERS DURING THE REPLANTING PERIOD IN NAGARI SIPANGKUR, DHARMASRAYA REGENCY
Replanting is an essential step in maintaining palm oil productivity due to aging plants. However, this process causes a drastic decrease in farmers' income, up to 65% during the 3-5 years waiting period for harvest. This study aims to assess the socio- economic impacts and fulfillment strategies undertaken by farmers during the palm oil replanting period in Nagari Sipangkur, Tiumang District, Dharmasraya Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews with 12 informants selected by purposive sampling, and document studies. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman approach of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. James S. Coleman's rational choice theoretical framework was used to analyze farmers' strategic choices in meeting their needs. The results showed that farmers chose three main strategies to fulfill their needs during the replanting period. These strategies are occupational strategies by shifting the main job, maximizing asset potential and making efficiency. These strategies reflect farmers' adaptation and resilience in facing economic challenges during replanting. Therefore, this study concludes that in the implementation of replanting, it is very important to build farmers' rationality in maximizing the assets they have to get around economic challenges
