International Journal of Research in Business and Social Science · 2024

Read abstract

This study analyzes the influence of transformational leadership on employee performance across generations (Generation X, Y, and Z) with motivation as a mediating variable, in PT. BCA, Tbk Regional Office VII Malang City. The challenge faced is the difference in generational characteristics that require different leadership approaches to create a productive work environment.The research method used is a quantitative approach with Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to employees and analyzed using SmartPLS software. The results of the study show that transformational leadership has a significant positive effect on the motivation and performance of Generation X and Y employees. However, in Generation Z, motivation does not significantly mediate the influence of transformational leadership on performance.These findings show that Generation X is more influenced by financial rewards and compensation, while Generation Y is more motivated by appropriate benefits and appreciation. On the other hand, Generation Z needs leaders with clear direction and charisma rather than traditional incentive-based motivation. Therefore, organizations need to adapt their leadership styles based on the specific needs of each generation to optimally improve employee performance.

International Journal of Research in Business and Social Science · 2024

Read abstract

This study examines the impact of green perceived value and green perceived risk on repurchase intention mediated by  green trust in Adidas green products. This study is explanatory and employs a quantitative methodology. The study's population comprised individuals who purchased Adidas green products. This study employs a purposive sampling technique. The sample size consists of 190 respondents. The data utilized in this study were gathered by questionnaire. The acquired data were analyzed using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) PLS. The findings indicated that Green Perceived Value positively enhances repurchase intention and trust. Furthermore, Green Perceived Risk adversely affects repurchase intention and trust, while Green Trust enhances repurchase intention. Green Trust can enhance the relationship between Green Perceived Value and Green Perceived Risk regarding repurchase intention, but its mediation role is partial. This study highlights that to increase repurchase intention, Adidas should focus on high green perceived value through consistent product quality and emphasize its environmental commitment to attract younger consumers. Although green perceived risk is low, Adidas should minimize negative risks and maintain product quality. Additionally, green trust plays a crucial role in strengthening consumer confidence and attracting new customers.

International Journal of Research in Business and Social Science · 2024

Read abstract

This study analyses the impact of transaction exposure, firm size, and liquidity on firm value with leverage as a mediating variable in on Consumer Non-Cylicals Sector Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2023. Using Signalling Theory and Trade-off Theory as theoretical frameworks, the research employs path analysis to evaluate the relationships between variables. The findings reveal that transaction exposure, firm size, and liquidity have a positive significant effect on firm value. Conversely, leverage shows a negative significant impact on firm value, suggesting that excessive debt increases financial risk, thereby reducing firm value. Moreover, the study indicates that leverage does not mediate the effects of transaction exposure, firm size, or liquidity on firm value. These results highlight the importance for companies to prioritize managing liquidity and capital structure effectively to optimize firm value. Excessive use of debt should be minimized to avoid diminishing profitability and reducing market value, especially for firms with high exposure to international transactions.

International Journal of Research in Business and Social Science · 2024

Read abstract

In the era of globalization and increasing awareness of health and product halal status, studies on halal product purchasing decisions are becoming increasingly important. The demand for halal products continues to rise along with the strengthening of consumers' religious beliefs through knowledge about the importance of halal. This research focuses on a halal product, Bipang Jangkar in Pasuruan, East Java, Indonesia, which was affected by a viral debate regarding Bipang Ambawang, a West Kalimantan specialty made from pork, after it was promoted as a holiday food by President Jokowi in 2021. Concerns arose that this debate could influence the sales of Bipang Jangkar, despite being very different from Bipang Ambawang. This study aims to clarify the role of halal awareness as a mediator in the influence of religiosity and halal logo on purchasing decisions. The respondents in this study were Bipang Jangkar consumers in Pasuruan. A total of 170 samples were obtained through online questionnaires. The data in this study were analyzed using SEM-PLS through the SmartPLS 3 program. The results of this study indicate that all hypotheses are accepted, except for the influence of religiosity on purchasing decisions and the role of halal awareness as a mediator of the halal logo's influence on purchasing decisions.

Understanding User Perceptions of QRIS in Indonesia

Rizka Ramayanti

International Journal of Finance & Banking Studies · 2024

Read abstract

In Indonesia, a QR code payment is referred to as QRIS (Quick Respond Code Indonesian Standard). QR code technology is employed by QRIS, a contemporary payment system, to establish connections between a variety of financial transactions. QRIS offers numerous advantages to businesses, including the ability to obtain numerous promotions, the automated recording of transactions, the ability to track financial income and expenses, and the elimination of the need to search for change. Regrettably, the low level of digital literacy in Indonesia has prevented certain individuals from adopting digital transactions. Consequently, policymakers and regulators will be able to make more informed decisions regarding the expansion of QRIS in Indonesia by gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the perceptions of utility and perceived ease of use among Indonesian users. This research involves individuals who have implemented QRIS. The sample size in this study was sufficient due to the use of PLS-SEM, a powerful multivariate analysis technique that is recognized for its statistical efficacy in small sample sizes. The study explores the behavioral intention to use QRIS among Indonesian users, emphasizing perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use while incorporating control variables such as age, experience, gender, income, and education. The analysis results indicate that perceived usefulness has a substantial impact on the behavior intention of QRIS, and perceived ease of use also has an impact on the behavior intention of using QRIS. Education and income were found to have no significant difference in relation to behavior intention of using QRIS, whereas age, experience, gender, and age were associated with a significant difference.

This paper aims to examine the effects of bank mergers and corporate governance to maqashid sharia performance. This study also aims to examine the effect of corporate governance as a moderating variable. In this study, the measurement of variables using Integrated Maqashid Sharia Performance Measurement (IMSPM) which includes dimensions consisting of faith (din), self (nafs), intellect ('aql), posterity (nasl), and wealth (mal). Data processing was carried out using SPSS Statistics 29 with the source data of bank financial statements before and after the merger. The data includes the financial statements of BNI Syariah, BRI Syariah, Bank Mandiri Syariah 2015 – 2020 and also Bank BSI 2021 – 2023. The results showed that bank mergers have a positive effect on maqashid sharia performance. However, the corporate governance variable consisting of the independence and remuneration of the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) shows that the independence of SSB has no effect on the maqashid sharia performance and remuneration SSB has a negative effect. Independence of SSB has no effect to maqashid sharia performance because SSB who are not independent or hold concurrent positions will have more experience due to their role in other Islamic institutions and banks. In addition, SSB remuneration has a negative effect because when viewed from the operational side, the high remuneration received by SSB will actually increase the burden on banks so that it has an impact on their maqashid sharia performance. Nevertheless, corporate governance variables both independence and remuneration of SSB  can strengthen the effect of mergers on maqashid sharia performance.

The relationship of paternalistic leadership and organizational commitment

Dedi Yusmen · Achmad Sudiro · Dodi Wirawan Irawanto · Sunaryo

International Journal of Research in Business and Social Science · 2024

Read abstract

Paternalistic leadership is reported to have a favourable correlation with employee organisational commitment. This commitment is provided in exchange for the paternalistic leaders' care, attention, and protection of employees in both professional and personal contexts. Nonetheless, numerous further research have identified a negative tendency in this association. This research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) utilising PRISMA as the principal procedure, identifying 16 articles published from 2014 to July 2024 that investigate the correlation between paternalistic leadership and organisational commitment. This relationship is delineated through two frameworks: firstly, paternalistic leadership induces varying degrees of employee organisational commitment; secondly, organisational commitment serves as a mediator between paternalistic leadership and other variables. From these two schemes, it is evident that (i) a positive correlation exists between benevolence and moral leadership and organisational commitment, albeit with variations in the types of commitment elicited by these leadership dimensions; (ii) authoritarian leadership elicits a negative reaction towards two forms of organisational commitment (affective and normative) among employees, while inducing a marginally positive response towards continuance commitment; and (iii) organisational commitment as a mediator exhibits a "inconclusive" effect.
