Employee performance is increasingly recognized as being influenced not only by structural conditions but also by employees' psychological and relational experiences in the workplace. However, few studies have concurrently examined the comparative and mediated effects of sense of belonging, workplace spirituality, and job satisfaction within a unified framework. This study explores how these factors impact performance both directly and indirectly through organizational commitment, employing a quantitative explanatory design with survey data from 213 employees selected via proportionate stratified random sampling and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with validated and reliable measures. The results indicate that sense of belonging (β = 0.201, p = 0.043), workplace spirituality (β = 0.214, p = 0.007), job satisfaction (β = 0.357, p = 0.041), and organizational commitment (β = 0.276, p = 0.024) significantly predict performance. Additionally, sense of belonging (β = 0.297, p = 0.002), workplace spirituality (β = 0.211, p = 0.009), and job satisfaction (β = 0.725, p < 0.001) significantly predict organizational commitment, which mediates these relationships. Total effects reveal job satisfaction as the strongest predictor of performance (β = 0.312), followed by sense of belonging (β = 0.305) and workplace spirituality (β = 0.299). These findings demonstrate that employee performance is closely associated with affective and experiential workplace factors and highlight organizational commitment as a central explanatory mechanism. These findings underscore the importance of enhancing psychological attachment, meaningful work experiences, and satisfaction to support sustained performance, while providing an integrated empirical framework for future research.

This paper examines how organizational culture and transformational leadership directly and indirectly affect employee performance through organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) within Lembaga Perkreditan Desa (LPD) or Village Credit Institutions in Buleleng Regency, Bali. It also clarifies how social exchange processes underpin these relationships in a community-based finance setting. A hybrid analytic method combining instrument pretesting, measurement-model evaluation, and variance-based structural equation modeling with mediation testing was employed. Primary survey data were collected from 88 staff-level employees across nine sub-districts over a six-month field period. The findings reveal that supportive culture significantly increases OCB and performance while transformational leadership enhances OCB but has no direct effect on performance. OCB improves performance and mediates both the culture–performance and leadership–performance links. Practically, LPD leaders should treat OCB as a performance lever, engaging staff in decision-making, recognizing discretionary effort, and aligning incentives, resources, and routines. Strengthening collectivist culture, long-term orientation, fair gender norms, and adaptive rules will help ensure that extra-role behaviors consistently translate into measurable performance outcomes

Despite the national increase in banana production, Kepok banana farmers in Sikka Regency have experienced a sharp decline in both production and income. This study aims to analyze the factors affecting the income of Kepok banana farmers in Sikka Regency by examining the role of production as a mediating variable between key determinants—price, land area, labor, and capital—and income levels. The study employs a quantitative research approach using survey methods to collect primary data from Kepok banana farmers in Sikka Regency. The sampling technique applied is simple random sampling, ensuring proportional representation from 21 sub-districts. Out of a total population of 2,123 farmers, a final sample of 354 farmers was randomly selected. The collected data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) through SmartPLS to examine the relationships. The study found that price, land area, labor, and capital all have a positive and significant impact on the production of Kepok bananas in Sikka Regency. Production itself plays a crucial role in influencing farmers' income, alongside price, land area, labor, and capital, all of which have a direct positive and significant effect on income. Production mediates the relationship between price, labor, and capital with farmers' income, indicating that these factors contribute to higher production, which in turn increases income. However, production does not mediate the effect of land area on income, suggesting that while land expansion increases production, its direct impact on income may be influenced by other factors beyond production volume alone.

Healthcare delivery relies on human resource management to ensure quality. However, employee performance dropped from 2019 to 2022, highlighting the need to address job fatigue, which lowers performance. This study examines how mindfulness and emotional intelligence mediate the effects of occupational fatigue on medical and paramedic performance. This integrated study intends to understand healthcare job performance and improve medical professionals' competency and well-being in Indonesia. A 5% margin of error was used to choose 213 medical staff and paramedics from the Mojokerto City Government Health Agency in Indonesia using the Slovin algorithm. The Sobel Test and SEM with AMOS were used to analyse data. Mindfulness and emotional intelligence decreased considerably with job burnout, affecting job performance. Mindfulness and emotional intelligence also improved job performance. The results also showed that emotional intelligence and mindfulness moderate the job burnout-performance link. These findings show that emotional and psychological aspects are crucial to understanding how job fatigue affects employee performance.

This study aims to resolve the inconsistencies in prior research regarding the effects of capital structure, firm size, and good corporate governance (GCG) on company value. Additionally, it investigates the moderating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the relationship between financial performance and company value, offering new insights into this dynamic interaction. This study utilizes a saturated sample or census approach, including all population members, due to the small population size and the researcher's ability to access the required data. Data from 71 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2018 and 2022 were obtained from their financial statements and annual reports. A quantitative analysis was conducted using Partial Least Square (PLS) regression with the SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results indicate that capital structure, company size, and GCG significantly impact financial performance. Additionally, capital structure was found to significantly affect company value, while company size and GCG did not. Financial performance significantly influenced company value, but CSR did not directly affect company value and did not moderate the relationship between financial performance and company value. 

The customer journey towards purchase has received substantial attention from businesses and academics, especially in relationship marketing and customer engagement. This interest has intensified due to the rise of social media, enabling customer-to-customer interactions alongside conventional marketing strategies. Customers increasingly seek information independently in the life insurance sector, and comprehending the decision-making process is critical. In Indonesia, low insurance literacy and inclusion add to the challenges of the traditional, face-to-face sales process. This research empirically investigates the impact of social media and traditional marketing communications on customer-to-customer interactions and subsequent customer decision-making. Brand preference is examined as a mediating variable. Quantitative methods, including online questionnaires and expert interviews, were employed in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, targeting non-life insurance customers. Structural equation modeling (SEM) via LISREL was utilized to analyze data from 310 respondents. Results indicate that while social media communications have an insignificant impact on customer-to-customer interactions (t-value 1.15), traditional marketing communications positively influence customer-to-customer interactions (t-value 11.87). Customer-to-customer interactions also found to positively influence brand preference (t-value 10.14) while brand preference positively influences customer decision-making (t-value 3.86) Additionally, customer-to-customer interactions positively affect customer decision-making (t-value 3.54), with brand preference mediating this relationship (t-value 3.85).

This research investigates the factors influencing the transition from entrepreneurial intention to actual entrepreneurial activity among college graduates, focusing on the role of strategic thinking as a determinant of entrepreneurial behavior. Additionally, the study seeks to broaden understanding beyond entrepreneurial intention by incorporating strategic thinking variables as moderators in examining the causal relationships between entrepreneurial activity and its antecedents. The sampling method used in this study was nonprobability sampling. 142 respondents were collected and analyzed using Partial Least Square through SmartPLS. The main findings of the study demonstrate that (i) attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control significantly affect entrepreneurial intention (ii)attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control do not significantly affect entrepreneurial activity, (iii) entrepreneurial intention does not significantly affect entrepreneurial activity, (iv) the effect of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control toward entrepreneurial activity does not mediated by entrepreneurial intention, (v) strategic thinking does not moderate the effect of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control towards entrepreneurial activity, (vi) strategic thinking significantly affects entrepreneurial activity. The study brought several implications related to the predictors of entrepreneurial activity and the integration of strategic thinking into the theory of planned behavior model.

This research used quantitative research methods. A total of 255 respondents were collected using random sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling through SmartPLS. The main findings of the study demonstrate that (i) marketing mix does not influence purchase intention, (ii) marketing mix influence on purchase intention is mediated by perceived value, (iii) brand equity influences purchase intention, (iv) brand equity influences on purchase intention is mediated by perceived value, (v) perceived value influences purchase intention and finally (vi) perceived value influences on purchase intention are moderated by e-WOM.

Changes in individual activities lead to changes in behavior. In particular, adolescents experience changes in learning and teaching activities, resulting in a gap between the amount of time available and the lack of activities that adolescents can do. It becomes a momentum for adolescents to create new activities, one of which is investing in the capital market. The relationship between emotional intelligence and adolescents’ intention to become investors, as well as the moderating effect of financial literacy in the relationship. These values indicate that the model is suitable enough to explain about 42.8%-52.6% of changes in the relationships tested.  Emotional intelligence has a positive effect on adolescents’ intention to become investors, and financial literacy is able to strengthen this influence. This study contributes to a greater understanding of the importance of emotional intelligence and financial literacy when adolescents have the intention to become investors, especially when capital market uncertainty increases. As capital market uncertainty increases, adolescents should be able to assimilate emotional intelligence with their financial literacy to obtain greater returns. It may encourage adolescents to keep choosing their career as an investor. These results have significant theoretical contributions and provide recommendations for industry and policymaker. This can encourage teens to still choose their careers as investors. These results have significant theoretical contributions and provide recommendations for industry and policymakers.
