The Influence of Operational Cost Efficiency and Human Resource Competence on Product Quality at 1000 Rentcar Medan
Get PDFRapid industrial development and changes in consumer behavior require companies to continuously improve their competitiveness, particularly in maintaining customer satisfaction and trust. Operational cost efficiency is a company's ability to optimally manage expenses without compromising service quality. This study examines the effect of operational cost efficiency and human resource (HR) competency on product quality at PT 1000 Rentcar Medan. Using an associative quantitative method with multiple linear regression, data were collected from 35 operational and management employees. The results showed that operational cost efficiency had no significant effect on product quality. However, HR competency had a positive and significant effect on product quality. Furthermore, simultaneously, operational cost efficiency and HR competency significantly influenced product quality. These findings indicate that in the car rental industry, product quality is highly dependent on HR competency. Although customers do not directly feel internal cost efficiency, the synergy between the two is important for service quality
Analysis of PSAP (People Soft Account Payable) Information System in Improving Accountability at Hotel Z
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the role of the PSAP (PeopleSoft Account Payable) information system in improving financial management accountability at Hotel Z. Accountability is an important element in organizational governance, particularly in the process of recording and paying company obligations. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques were carried out through direct observation, semi-structured interviews with financial staff (Accounts Payable, General Cashier, and Accounts Receivable), and documentation. Data were analyzed using the triangulation method and reviewed using two analytical frameworks, namely accountability indicators (SOP, supervision, responsibility, reporting, evaluation) and the PIECES framework (Performance, Information, Economics, Control, Efficiency, Service). The results of the study indicate that the implementation of PSAP has supported accountability through the presentation of accurate financial data, stricter supervision, and efficiency of the reporting process. However, there are still technical obstacles, such as decreased system performance during high transaction loads, errors at the closing of the accounting period, and user errors that result in duplicate payments. Based on these findings, it is recommended that management improve system capacity, conduct regular training for users, and carry out continuous evaluation to ensure the system runs optimally. This research contributes to strengthening information system-based accounting practices in the hospitality industry, as well as being a reference in decision-making related to accountable and efficient financial management
Implementation of Green Purchasing in Hotel X: A Case Study in Bali’s Hospitality Sector
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the implementation of green purchasing at Hotel X, a five-star resort located in Bali, as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that Hotel X has integrated green purchasing practices into its procurement policy, guided by an internal document titled Section D: Sustainability Commitment. Most supplier selection indicators—such as eco-labeling, environmental auditing, and environmentally friendly packaging—have been adopted, although the implementation remains inconsistent across all suppliers. Furthermore, the procurement process incorporates the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3R), showing the hotel’s effort to minimize environmental impact through collaboration with sustainable suppliers. The implementation of green purchasing not only aligns with sustainability goals but also contributes to long-term operational cost efficiency. This research demonstrates that green procurement practices can serve as an effective strategy in achieving environmental legitimacy and competitive advantage in the hospitality industr
Analysis of the Influence of Digitalization, Information Quality, and Income Level on Compliance with Land and Building Tax Payment with Knowledge as an Intervening Variable in Karimun District, Karimun Regency
Get PDFTaxpayer compliance in paying Land and Building Tax (PBB) in Karimun Regency has declined. This condition is influenced by the low level of public knowledge regarding PBB, the lack of optimization in digitalization and tax information systems, as well as the relatively low level of income among taxpayers. This study applies a mixed-method approach, focusing on analyzing the effect of digitalization, information quality, and income level on PBB payment compliance, with knowledge as an intervening variable in Karimun District. The findings reveal that digitalization, income level, and PBB knowledge significantly influence taxpayer compliance, while information quality shows no significant effect. Furthermore, information quality and income level significantly affect PBB knowledge, while digitalization does not. Current levels of public knowledge are not yet able to strengthen the effect of digitalization on PBB compliance, but they do strengthen the effect of information quality and income level on taxpayer compliance. It is recommended that the Karimun Regional Revenue Agency optimize information quality and taxpayer knowledge through improved digitalization and information systems aligned with taxpayers’ conditions. Additionally, efforts to raise taxpayer awareness should be strengthened through programs and policies that promote equal distribution of knowledge related to PBB
A Comparative Analysis of Building Orientation and Indoor Thermal Condition of Some Buildings in Benin City, Nigeria
Get PDFThe study focuses attention on orientation of buildings as a significant design consideration due to its influence to improve the indoor thermal comfort. The aim of the study is to comparatively analysis the effect of building orientation on indoor thermal condition of buildings in the study area. To achieve the aim of the study, a field survey was carried out in five neighbourhoods using 550 administered questionnaires. Secondly, buildings relatively oriented longitudinally in the East-West and buildings oriented longitudinally in the North-south direction were identified for comparison in their indoor thermal condition. Thirdly, the indoor thermal condition of buildings in relation to building orientation in the study area are measured. Data obtained was analysed with the aid of analyses of variant to determine the influence of building orientation on indoor thermal condition of buildings. The result shows no significant relationship between building orientation and indoor thermal condition among the buildings assessed as the p-value equals 0.792. This result contrast most related research works, being that, most buildings were built with foreign building materials with one window in their functional spaces. No adequate building’s setbacks, high wall fence, and most buildings occupied more than 50% of the total plot size, which may have resulted in the distortion of air circulation around such buildings and increase in air temperature. The study therefore recommends a strict monitory of physical developments by relevant agency and proposed development must incorporate passive design strategies that works with the local climate to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors
