Analysis of Behavioral Styles and Their Relationship with Job Performance in a Savings and Credit Cooperative in Ecuador
No full textCan behavioral patterns predict job performance? This research explores the relationship between DISC behavioral styles (Dominant, Influential, Steady, and Conscientious) and professional performance through an evaluation using the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ). The study, conducted with 147 employees from an Ecuadorian Credit Union, examines three key performance dimensions: Task Performance, Contextual Performance, and Counterproductive Behaviors. Through robust statistical analysis including Pearson correlations, ANOVA, and Tukey post hoc tests, it was found that while DISC profiles do not significantly determine overall job performance, they do show specific correlations with individual components of the IWPQ. These results indicate that the DISC model, although valuable for evaluating specific aspects of workplace behavior, has limitations as a predictor of overall performance, opening new lines of research in organizational psychology

Empirical Analysis of Switching Behavior and Technology Acceptance in Digital Top-Up Services: Evidence from Indonesian Specialty Coffee Micro-Retail
No full textThis research explores the factors influencing customer switching behavior in digital top-up services, with a particular focus on Indonesia’s specialty coffee micro-retail sector. A modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework is applied, incorporating variables such as switching behavior, switching cost, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived risk, and social influence. To date, this study represents the first empirical investigation examining customer switching behavior within digital top-up services among micro coffee retailers in Indonesia. Data were obtained through an online survey of 320 respondents and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that Perceived Ease of Use (β = 0.182, p < 0.01), Perceived Usefulness (β = 0.418, p < 0.01), and Switching Cost (β = 0.342, p < 0.05) significantly and positively affect switching behavior. In contrast, Social Influence (β = 0.073, p = 0.242) and Perceived Risk (β = 0.113, p = 0.099) were found to be insignificant predictors. Overall, the model explains 71.5% of the variance in switching behavior (R² = 0.715). These results provide valuable insights for fintech providers and policymakers, emphasizing the need to design secure, user-friendly, and efficient transaction systems to enhance adoption and customer loyalty among Indonesian micro-retailers. By integrating sociological and psychological perspectives, this paper not only extends the theoretical scope of TAM but also offers practical implications for fintech developers and policymakers in promoting digital resilience and inclusivity among micro-entrepreneurs. Ultimately, virtual account top-up services serve as catalysts for behavioral change and sustainable digital transformation within niche retail communities, reinforcing the significance of consumer-centered innovation in the digital economy

These biodiversity resources have constituted the sustenance for the health and well-being of the population of the District of Ancón and Metropolitan Lima, over time. The loss and degradation of these marine resources is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. Given this panorama, from 2012 to date, the application of self-control measures has begun to regulate overexploitation throughout the history of humanity. Therefore, the inventory and the identification guide prepared will be valuable documents for the knowledge of the variety of species in the marine space of the Bay of Ancón, which will facilitate managers to optimize their efforts at the level of the educational community and of the community involved in responsible fishing
Determinants of Bank Financial Performance in Indonesia: The Role of Governance, Capital Structure, Firm Size, and Intellectual Capital
No full textThis study analyzes the determinants affecting the financial performance of commercial banks in Indonesia, employing secondary data from banks listed on the IDX from 2019 to 2023. The analysis examines corporate governance, capital structure, firm size, and intellectual capital as independent variables, uses ROA and ROE as indicators of bank performance. We apply panel data regression using STATA 17. The findings show that corporate governance and capital structure do not exert a measurable impact on either ROA or ROE. Firm size improves ROE but does not materially affect ROA. By contrast, intellectual capital consistently and strongly enhances both ROA and ROE, highlighting its central role in bank profitability in Indonesia. This research offers critical insights for bank management to improve performance and for regulators to formulate effective regulations that promote the stability and sustainability of the banking sector in Indonesia
El agotamiento paradigmático del Estado neoliberal en América Latina: explorando la gobernanza para el desarrollo sostenible
No full textEl agotamiento paradigmático del Estado neoliberal en América Latina: explorando la gobernanza para el desarrollo sostenibleDurante la época contemporánea, la evolución de la gran mayoría de los Estados latinoamericanos ha seguido dos derroteros principales: el neoliberalismo y el neopopulismo. A pesar de que estas formaciones políticas se sustentan en paradigmas antagónicos, ambas corrientes tienen una coincidencia fundamental: el debilitamiento de las capacidades institucionales del Estado, así como el surgimiento de relaciones conflictivas entre el Estado y otros actores centrales, tanto del mercado como de la sociedad civil. En este contexto, es necesario explorar nuevos marcos de análisis que posibiliten la construcción de nuevas instituciones estatales que garanticen la autonomía y la cooperación eficaz entre las diversas esferas sociopolíticas en la época moderna.Los objetivos fundamentales de este trabajo consisten en la exploración de nuevos enfoques teóricos para el redimensionamiento del papel del Estado en América Latina, particularmente en las políticas de desarrollo. Para este fin, se analizan tres ejes temáticos centrales: 1) las teorías vinculadas con el Estado desarrollista, con énfasis en el papel de las organizaciones burocráticas, a partir de la revisión de la experiencia de los países del Sudeste asiático; 2) el análisis de algunas de las aportaciones principales del modelo de gobernanza, con énfasis en la distribución del poder entre los diversos agentes sociopolíticos, especialmente el Estado y el gobierno; y 3) una breve revisión de la naturaleza compleja e interactiva del paradigma de la sostenibilidad y sus implicaciones con respecto al papel del Estado en los procesos de desarrollo.Las principales conclusiones del documento apuntan hacia la integración de una amplia agenda de investigación que coloque en el centro del debate político y académico, la necesidad de una profunda reforma del Estado, con énfasis en los aspectos relacionados con los mecanismos institucionales de cooperación e interacción del Estado con otros actores centrales de las políticas de desarrollo, así como la reconfiguración de las instituciones supranacionales en la región, como base para la integración e implementación de las políticas de la agenda del desarrollo humano sostenible para el siglo XXI
Overcoming Barriers to Digital Payment Adoption in Asset Agriculture (Livestock) Company: A Qualitative Exploration
No full textThis study investigates the challenges faced by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the Indonesian livestock industry in adopting digital payment systems. Despite government efforts to promote digitalization and financial inclusion, the adoption of digital payments remains limited in this sector. Through qualitative research employing in-depth interviews with 140 informants from 19 provinces, this study explores the barriers and obstacles encountered by livestock MSMEs in transitioning to digital payment transactions. The findings reveal that while informants acknowledge the benefits of digitalization, such as increased efficiency and market access, significant challenges persist, including inadequate internet access, limited digital literacy, and cybersecurity concerns. The results highlight the need for targeted initiatives to address these barriers, including improving infrastructure, providing digital literacy training, and strengthening cybersecurity measures. By identifying and addressing these challenges, policymakers can facilitate the successful adoption of digital payments in the livestock MSME sector, contributing to the achievement of relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promoting financial inclusion and sustainable agricultural practices
Teorías neosistémicas y administración pública: posibilidades observacionales y regulativas
No full textTeorías neosistémicas y administración pública: posibilidades observacionales y regulativasLa utilización de las teorías neosistémicas y de la teoría de sistemas autorreferenciales en la observación y análisis de la administración pública es todavía escasa. Salvo pocas excepciones, la utilización empírica de la teoría de sistemas autorreferenciales es rechazada por diversos motivos, entre los que destacan su elevado grado de abstracción, su desconocimiento teórico-conceptual y su compleja y difusa aplicabilidad empírica. En el marco de la complejidad y de la presentación policéntrica de las sociedades modernas actuales, este trabajo presenta una reflexión sobre las posibilidades de aplicar esta teoría en la observación y análisis de la administración pública. El texto se estructura en tres apartados. Primero, se describe lo que se entiende por complejidad y cómo esta impacta en la estructura de la administración pública. En segundo lugar, se exponen las premisas epistemológicas y conceptuales básicas de la teoría de sistemas autorreferenciales para la administración pública -autorreferencialidad y autoorganización- y las aportaciones recientes (orientación contextual). Se destaca que la capacidad de autoorganización de la administración públicano es solo un proceso espontáneo, sino que también puede ser organizada y orientada desde el exterior de ella de forma secuencial, o sea, en combinación interna autónoma y externa. En esta tesis sobresalen dos aspectos diferenciadores. Por un lado,se identifica un punto débil o inconcluso de la teoría de sistemas a la hora de establecer un vínculo entre autoorganización y liderazgo, que se plantea como necesario con base en la idea “secuencial”, y que en la óptica sistémica en la administración pública se aplica en su capacidad de ser autónoma y a su vez dependiente del exterior (sistema político). Por otro lado, se realiza el análisis del vínculo que aparece entre autoorganización (endógena) y liderazgo (exógeno). Seguidamente se expone el concepto de “triple diferenciación” bajo la perspectiva de la administración pública como un sistema funcional especializado. Por último, se presentan unas líneas e hipótesis para futuras investigaciones
The Role of Stakeholder Engagement in Improving the Sustainability of the Biodiesel Industry
No full textThe Indonesian biodiesel industry faces major challenges in maintaining sustainability amidst global market dynamics and changes in international regulations. The involvement of various stakeholders, including the government, private sector, farmers, and non-governmental organizations, is a key factor in determining the direction of development of this industry. In addition, environmental issues, economic uncertainty, and technical barriers in the distribution and production of biodiesel also affect Indonesia's competitiveness at the global level. This study aims to analyze the role of stakeholder engagement in improving the sustainability of the biodiesel industry and identify strategies that can be applied to strengthen the competitiveness of this sector. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach, which analyzes data from various relevant secondary sources, such as previous studies. The data that has been collected is then processed and analyzed to find patterns of stakeholder involvement and challenges faced by the biodiesel industry. The results of the study show that the sustainability of the biodiesel industry is highly dependent on cross-sector cooperation and adaptation to international standards. Supportive regulations, transparency in the supply chain, and technological innovation are key factors in increasing the efficiency of biodiesel production and distribution. With the right strategy, the Indonesian biodiesel industry can continue to grow and compete in the global market to support a more sustainable energy transition
