Foreign Direct Investment in Asean: The Moderating Role of Regulatory Quality on Macroeconomic Factors and Political Stability
Full text linkThis study examines the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in developing ASEAN countries, focusing on interest rates, exchange rates, inflation, and political stability, with regulatory quality as a moderating variable. Employing a quantitative, causal-comparative design, the study utilizes panel data from eight ASEAN countries (Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines, and Cambodia) spanning the period from 2003 to 2023, sourced from the World Bank and the Worldwide Governance Indicators. Chow and Hausman tests indicate that the Fixed Effects Model provides the best fit for the data. The results indicate that interest rates have a negative and significant impact on FDI inflows, suggesting that higher borrowing costs deter foreign investors. Exchange rates exert a positive and significant influence, suggesting that currency depreciation enhances investment attractiveness. Inflation is found to be insignificant, indicating that investors can tolerate moderate inflation. Political stability shows a positive and significant effect, underscoring its crucial role in reducing investment risk and enhancing investor confidence. Furthermore, regulatory quality significantly moderates the effects of interest rates, exchange rates, and political stability on FDI. Strong regulatory frameworks can cushion the impact of adverse macroeconomic conditions and strengthen investment security. These findings extend institutional theory and emphasize the importance of macroeconomic, political, and regulatory stability in attracting FDI
Theory of Planned Behaviour and its Applications in Marketing Contexts: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Directions
Full text linkThis study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis to examine the evolution of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) in marketing research. Drawing on 55 Scopus- and Web of Science–indexed articles published between 2021 and 2025, VOSviewer is used to map research trends and thematic structures. The findings show that core TPB constructs remain central predictors of consumer intention, while extensions such as trust, perceived risk, and moral norms increasingly enhance explanatory power in digital and sustainability contexts. However, challenges persist, including the intention–behaviour gap and limited cross-cultural validation. This study advances marketing theory by proposing an integrative framework linking psychological, technological, and contextual factors to support sustainable and consumer-oriented marketing strategies
Analysis of the Direct Effect of Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use on Intention to Use with Attitude Mediation in Digital Banking
Full text linkThis study examines the determinants of intention to use digital banking services within the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework, focusing on perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), and attitude (ATT). As digital banking adoption grows rapidly in Indonesia amid the regional expansion of fintech innovations across Southeast Asia, understanding the behavioral mechanisms behind adoption becomes increasingly significant for both information systems and management research. A quantitative approach was applied using survey data from 210 active digital banking users in Jakarta, analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that ease of use has a significant positive impact on users’ intention to adopt digital banking, emphasizing the importance of intuitive system design and low-effort interaction. Meanwhile, usefulness and attitude were found statistically insignificant in predicting intention, indicating that functional benefits alone may not directly drive user behavior. Rather than drawing conclusions about user priorities, these findings suggest a more complex interplay between cognitive and experiential factors. The study extends TAM by highlighting the contextual influence of user experience and cultural expectations in emerging digital economies beyond Indonesia. Practically, financial institutions are advised to enhance usability through seamless navigation, efficient processes, and reduced cognitive barriers to strengthen engagement and long-term adoption
The Influence of Greenwashing and Consumer Trust on Green Skincare Repurchase Intention through Green Brand Image among Gen Z in West Sumatra
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the influence of greenwashing, consumer trust, and green brand image on the repurchase intention of green skincare products among Generation Z in West Sumatra Province. This study uses a quantitative approach with purposive sampling technique, which is the determination of samples based on certain criteria relevant to the research objectives, including respondents aged 18–26 years (Generation Z), active use of green skincare products for at least three months, and residing in the West Sumatra region. Data were obtained from 260 respondents and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that greenwashing has a negative and significant effect on repurchase intention, suggesting that misleading or exaggerated sustainability claims reduce consumer interest in repurchasing. Conversely, consumer trust and green brand image positively and significantly affect repurchase intention, implying that confidence in sustainability claims and positive perceptions of green brand image foster repeat purchase behavior. However, the study reveals that green brand image does not mediate the relationship between greenwashing and repurchase intention but strengthens the influence of consumer trust. The study concludes that building consumer trust and reinforcing a credible green brand image are essential strategies for companies seeking to enhance consumer loyalty and long-term engagement in the growing sustainable skincare market
Islamic Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and Workplace Spirituality: A Synergistic Model to Improve Teacher Productivity in Banyumas, Indonesia
Full text linkThis study develops and tests a structural model linking Islamic leadership and emotional intelligence to teacher productivity, with workplace spirituality serving as a mediating variable. Grounded in Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, the research involved 250 teachers from Islamic-based secondary schools in the Ex-Residency area of Banyumas, Indonesia. Data were collected using standardized instruments and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that both Islamic leadership and emotional intelligence significantly influence workplace spirituality and teacher productivity, both directly and indirectly. These findings highlight that work environments enriched with Islamic values, emotional competence, and spiritual meaning can enhance professional performance. This study contributes theoretically to the development of an integrative model and offers practical implications for educational policymakers to foster meaningful and sustainable school cultures
Fostering Organizational Citizenship Behavior Among Employees in the Indonesian Retail Industry: The Role of Transformational Leadership and Perceived Organizational Support Mediated by Work Environment
Full text linkThe modern retail industry in Depok City is experiencing major challenges driven by shifting consumer behavior, rapid technological change, and the lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examines how Transformational Leadership (TL) and Perceived Organizational Support (POS) influence Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), with Leader–Member Exchange (LMX) as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative survey of modern retail employees in Depok, the findings reveal that TL positively affects OCB, while POS influences OCB indirectly through LMX. These results highlight the importance of effective leadership and perceived support in fostering employees’ extra-role behavior within Indonesia’s retail sector. The study contributes practical insights for improving employee engagement and productivity in a post-pandemic retail environment
Assesing the Sustainability of the Self-Declare Halal Certification Program for MSMEs in Lampung Province
Full text linkThis study examines the sustainability and effectiveness of the Halal Self-Declare Certification Program (Business Actor Statement) for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Lampung Province. The program aims to accelerate halal certification and improve MSME compliance with Halal Product Assurance (JPH) regulations. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining surveys of certified MSMEs, in-depth interviews with Halal Product Process (PPH) facilitators, and regulatory document analysis. Sustainability was assessed across economic, social, and institutional dimensions. The findings indicate that while the program has significantly increased the number of halal-certified MSMEs, sustainability challenges persist, particularly in the consistent implementation of internal halal assurance systems, the capacity and quality of facilitation, and MSMEs’ understanding of critical halal requirements. To ensure long-term sustainability, the program requires strengthened capacity building for PPH facilitators and improved post-certification monitoring through simplified and digitalized systems. The novelty of this study lies in proposing an optimization model for the sustainability of the Sehati Self-Declare Program that integrates halal regulatory frameworks, MSME capacity, and institutional roles within the specific regional context of Lampung Province, offering a more comprehensive and practical approach than previous normative or partial evaluations
Overtrading as an Expression of Investor FOMO in Cryptocurrency Markets: Insights from the Monkey Business Perspective
Full text linkThis study analysed overtrading behaviour as a manifestation of FOMO, influencers, market sentiment, and crypto literacy in crypto traders. Additionally, it examined the moderating role of monkey business practices in these relationships. This phenomenon is interesting because the emergence of DEXs provides transaction freedom while increasing the risk of market manipulation and behavioural bias. This study represents the first comprehensive behavioural analysis of overtrading within decentralized exchange environments, addressing a significant gap in the cryptocurrency literature. While prior research has examined behavioural factors in general cryptocurrency markets, centralized exchanges, or DEX market structures, but no study has specifically investigated how FOMO, influencers, market sentiment, and crypto literacy interact with market manipulation practices to drive overtrading behaviour on DEX platforms. The method employed was a quantitative survey of 180 DEX traders in social media groups, utilizing purposive sampling techniques. Data were analysed using PLS-SEM to test the direct influence and moderation between variables. The results indicate that FOMO, influencers, and market sentiment have a positive impact on overtrading, whereas crypto literacy has a negative effect. In addition, monkey business moderates the influence of FOMO on overtrading but does not moderate the influence of influencers, market participants, and crypto literacy. These findings enhance understanding of how psychological and social factors influence trading decisions in decentralized markets. Specifically, the moderating role of monkey business practices provides new insights for behavioural finance theory. The implications of the study confirm the importance of caution when trading crypto on DEXs
The Effect of Perceived Organizational Support and Work Environment on Performance: The Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction at BKN Regional VIII
Full text linkThis research proposes an integrated mediation framework that investigates how perceived organizational support (POS) and the work environment influence employee performance through the mechanism of job satisfaction at the Regional Office VIII of Indonesia’s National Civil Service Agency. The study responds to a persistent gap in public-sector performance research by linking structural conditions of work with an attitudinal pathway within the Indonesian civil service. A quantitative census involving 86 civil servants was conducted, and the data were processed using PLS-SEM in SmartPLS 4.0. The analysis reveals that both POS and the work environment significantly elevate job satisfaction, although neither factor directly drives performance. Job satisfaction functions as a full mediator for the effects of POS and the work environment on performance and significantly boosts employee performance. The model demonstrates strong explanatory capacity, with R² values of 0.851 for job satisfaction and 0.599 for performance. These results highlight job satisfaction as the principal channel through which supportive practices and conducive work conditions translate into performance. The study strengthens social exchange theory and enriches public-sector HRM literature by showing that, in bureaucratic institutions, performance outcomes stem primarily from employees’ attitudinal responses to organizational support and work quality
Barriers to Implementing Just in Time (JIT) Inventory Management Among Coffee Shop MSMEs in Jember Regency
Full text linkThis study explores the implementation of the Just in Time (JIT) inventory system in coffee shop MSMEs in Jember Regency, East Java, which is renowned as a coffee production center. Facing intense competition from major brands, local coffee shops must optimize inventory management to maintain sustainability. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from 14 local coffee shops through in-depth interviews and participant observation. The findings reveal that while some MSMEs have adopted JIT, most face significant obstacles, such as inconsistent coffee quality, fluctuating raw material prices, supplier reliability, and high storage and transportation costs. These constraints hinder comprehensive JIT adoption and may impact operational efficiency. The study suggests that careful supplier selection, effective stock planning, and quality monitoring are essential to overcoming JIT barriers and ensuring sustainable business operations. The findings have practical implications for MSME inventory management and local economic development
