The effect of ethical leadership and perceived organizational support on job satisfaction mediated by psychological empowerment
Full text linkNurses are the largest representative of the health worker population in Indonesia, who play an important role in patient care, health, and safety. However, nursing is a field of work with a high level of stress and can trigger a decrease in job satisfaction. This also happened at Ari Canti Hospital in Gianyar Regency, Bali Province-Indonesia. The results of the Employee Satisfaction Survey in 2023 showed that 489 respondents had a job satisfaction level of 66.5%, and the nursing unit had the lowest satisfaction level among other units. This hospital has not met the level of employee job satisfaction that must be achieved, which is a minimum of 80% based on the requirements of the Hospital Accreditation Standards. This study aims to analyze the effect of ethical leadership and perceived organizational support on nurse job satisfaction with psychological empowerment as a mediating variable. Based on the Social Exchange Theory, the reciprocal relationship between nurses, superiors, and organizations plays an important role in creating job satisfaction. This study was conducted at Ari Canti Hospital with a sample of 154 nurses. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Squares approach. 
The mediating role of the dark triad in the effect of emotional intelligence on turnover intention
Full text linkTurnover intention refers to an employee's tendency or intention to voluntarily leave or move from their current position and seek employment elsewhere. This study aims to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence and turnover intention with dark triad as mediating variable, based on the Social Exchange Theory and Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Theory. A quantitative approach with a causal associative method was employed in this research. The sampling method used was proportional random sampling, with a total sample of 235 employees. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) to examine both direct and indirect relationships among the study variables. The findings reveal that emotional intelligence has a significant negative effect on turnover intention. Furthermore, emotional intelligence significantly negatively influences Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. In turn, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy have a significant positive effect on turnover intention. The mediation analysis indicates that Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy partially and competitively mediate the effect of emotional intelligence on turnover intention. These results provide practical implications for IHG as valuable input and consideration in managing human resources to reduce employee turnover. 
Digital MSME Transformation: The role of strategy e-marketplace mediates the influence of social media promotion and marketing innovation on marketing performance
Full text linkThe development of digital technology has driven transformation in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which play a strategic role in the Indonesian economy. Despite their significant contribution, most MSMEs still face obstacles in utilizing digital platforms to improve their marketing performance. Social media and marketing innovation are believed to be capable of strengthening the competitiveness of MSMEs, but previous research findings have been inconsistent. This study aims to analyze the influence of social media promotion and marketing innovation on marketing performance, as well as to examine the strategic role of e-marketplace utilization as a mediating variable. The study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method targeting MSME actors in Bali. Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The results show that social media promotion and marketing innovation have a positive effect on marketing performance, both directly and through the use of e-marketplaces. In addition, e-marketplaces are proven to be able to mediate the relationship between social media promotion and marketing innovation with the marketing performance of MSMEs. These findings emphasize the importance of utilizing digital platforms as a strategy to increase competitiveness and expand markets.
Comparative study of highway performance using Recycled Asphalt (RAP) and conventional asphalt in supporting sustainable development
Full text linkThis study compares the performance of roads using recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and conventional asphalt in supporting sustainable development. The research was conducted using a literature review and secondary data analysis from various laboratory test results and field projects in Indonesia. The findings indicate that asphalt mixtures with RAP content ranging from 30–50% can achieve Marshall stability equivalent to or even higher than conventional asphalt, with material cost savings of up to 35–40% per ton. Additionally, RAP significantly reduces the consumption of new aggregates, construction waste, and carbon emissions, thereby supporting the principles of green roads and resource efficiency. However, the use of high levels of RAP requires the addition of rejuvenating agents to maintain the flexibility and durability of the mixture. Therefore, optimising the use of RAP through proper proportioning, mixing technology, and supportive policies can serve as a strategic solution for environmentally friendly, efficient, and sustainable road infrastructure development in Indonesia

Understanding electric vehicle purchase intentions through the technology acceptance model
Full text linkElectric vehicles represent a new technology and an environmentally friendly transportation option for the community. This study analyzes the application of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to understand the purchase intention of electric vehicles among people in Denpasar City. The research involved 200 respondents who had never owned an electric vehicle, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using SEM-PLS. The study indicates that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a significant and positive impact on users’ attitudes toward using electric vehicles. In addition to this, both perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and attitude toward using electric vehicles also directly contribute to purchase intention. Moreover, attitude toward using electric vehicles serves as a partial mediator in the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and purchase intention. Based on these findings, companies should highlight product advantages such as responsive acceleration, comfortable driving, extended travel range, and smart features. Expanding dealer and authorized workshop networks and increasing public awareness about the environmental benefits of electric vehicles are also important. Governments are encouraged to increase public charging infrastructure, implement carbon emission-based tax policies, and provide incentives for electric vehicle users
