| The Effect of Job Insecurity on Turnover Intention through Job Satisfaction as a Mediating Variable: A Case Study in the Hospital of Nahdlatul Ulama Jombang | Author : Abdul Rohim , Widy Taurus Sandy | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This research aims to ascertain, analyze, and elucidate the influence of job insecurity and job satisfaction on turnover intention, the impact of job insecurity on job satisfaction, and the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between job insecurity and turnover intention. The study adopts a quantitative approach and focuses on a population of 222 employees, with a sample size of 70 individuals from Nahdlatul Ulama Hospital in Jombang. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires employing a Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with the assistance of the SmartPLS software. The findings of this research indicate that the perception of high job insecurity among employees can potentially trigger an increase in turnover intention. Concurrently, high levels of job insecurity may lead to a decline in job satisfaction. Furthermore, low job satisfaction can also contribute to an increase in turnover intention among employees. Additionally, it is observed that job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between job insecurity and turnover intention. This study contributes valuable insights into the complex dynamics of job insecurity, job satisfaction, and turnover intention in the context of healthcare organizations. The implications of these findings extend to the broader field of human resource management and offer practical guidance for mitigating turnover intention among healthcare professionals. |

| Exploring the Impact of Attitudes, Behavior, and Perceptions on Millennials Adoption of QRIS Payment Systems | Author : Saripudin , Diah Ernawati , Rizki Yuniarti | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In this study, we investigate the influence of attitudes, behavior, and perceptions on the adoption of Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) payment systems among millennials, utilizing the Mobile Technology Acceptance Model (MTAM) approach. The sample consists of 100 respondents, and we apply both Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and MTAM to study about the relationships among the variables. The key findings are as follows: Positive attitudes towards QRIS significantly correlate with high behavioral intention, underscoring the pivotal role of attitudes in fostering adoption. Payment behavior has a significant effect on the perceived ease of use, highlighting the conduct of behavior in shaping perceptions of usability. Moreover, behavior also significantly influences the perceived usefulness, affirming the linkage between usage behavior and perceptions of benefit. Perceived ease of use positively correlates with attitudes, indicating that ease of use perceptions influence attitudes. Nevertheless, there is no significant support for the relationships between perceived security and attitudes, as well as between perceived usefulness and attitudes. These findings hold crucial implications for payment system providers and marketers in devising marketing strategies tailored to the preferences and expectations of millennials, while considering the aspects unveiled by the mobile technology acceptance model. Understanding the influences of attitudes, behavior, and perceptions on the adoption of modern payment systems becomes essential to meet user needs and integrate this technology into daily life effectively. |
| Critical Notes on Crude Oil Mining as a Prime Mover of Timor Lestes Economic: The Paradox of Abundance | Author : Manuel Coutinho Carmo Bucar Corte Real , Ida Ayu Nyoman Saskara , I Nyoman Mahaendra Yasa , Ni Nyoman Reni Suasih | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :After the international recognition of Timor-Lestes independence, the oil and gas sector has provided a very dominant contribution to the development of the economy and government. In fact, oil and natural gas revenues are expected to be a major determinant of the countrys economic growth, although it is known that the final outcome will depend largely on the use of oil and gas revenues. The purpose of this critical note is to contribute critical thinking about the negative impact of the abundance of natural resources, especially crude oil, in Timor Leste, which continues to be the main source of the economy. While it is true that oil revenues are critical to achieving the goals set out in the Timor-Leste national development program, it is also true that oil revenues pose challenges to governance capacity, as international experience shows that countries are rich in natural resources (oil and gas). nature) often experience more waste and corruption than other countries.

| Economic Transformation Towards Economic Stability In Bali Province: Literature Review Analysis | Author : Made Sinthya Aryasthini Mahaendrayasa , Made Suyana Utama , AAIN Marhaeni , Made Heny Urmila Dewi | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Tourism has long played an important role in development in Indonesia, especially in Bali Province. Tourism, with its multiplier effect, can and is capable of accelerating economic growth and job creation. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesias macro conditions have worsened. As a province that makes the tourism sector its leading sector, this pandemic has had a drastic impact on Bali Province. The central government and the regional government of Bali Province must jointly make efforts to restore the economy as well as economic transformation. In this way, Balis economy will grow more resilient to shocks because it is based on local resources with high added value with economic diversification so that it does not depend on the tourism sector alone. This research uses Chenerys theory as a grand theory which explains an approach to analyzing economic transformation by considering sector diversification which can provide a basis for effective and efficient planning policies. This research uses a literature review method. By looking at the various impacts experienced after the pandemic, the issue of making one sector the main sector needs to be taken into consideration. Paying high attention to the tourism sector over the last few years has had a slight impact on making Balis economy the second lowest in Indonesia. Based on this phenomenon, the assumption began to emerge that the agricultural sector was a "temporary safe place" which became the second choice, although in the end, when Balis tourism conditions improved, the average worker decided to return. This assumption that the tourism sector is a conservation sector needs to be improved by providing more understanding that agriculture is also able to support tourism in Bali Province. |

| Who is The Most Popular Presidential Candidate in Indonesia Election Based on Google Trend | Author : Dianta Hasri Natalius Barus | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Social media plays a significant role in contemporary political marketing. Social media channels provide legislators and party officials a direct avenue to engage with individuals, allowing for efficient communication, campaigning, and the establishment of relationships. Likewise, the act of aligning oneself with certain political groups and actively participating in discussions and interactions with political figures, such as candidates or representatives, is a widespread practice on social media platforms. Political brands have not yet capitalized on the possibilities of social media to develop online relationships, unlike commercial brands. However, they persist in depending on traditional techniques of political advertising on social media channels. According to the studys results, Jokowi remains a very popular political figure with the ability to have a substantial impact on Prabowo Gibran, the presidential contender associated with him. Prabowo Gibran personally achieved this by effectively promoting these earnings via various internet platforms. Conversely, AMIN is the rival that has the highest level of enduring appeal. They exhibit no discernible indications of either rising or diminishing their popularity, which means they remain the contender with the highest level of popularity. Ganjar Mahfud is the least popular contender of the three contestants. This is plausible since Jokowi, who really expressed his support for Prabowo Gibran, has a passive impact on the issue. |

Hapompwe | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The growing population and urbanization increase food demand, but many local processors struggle with quality, affordability, and safety due to knowledge and investment gaps. The study purposed to investigate the extent of the application of entrepreneurial innovations in the food processing and manufacturing targeted firms in Lusaka from the year 2017 to 2021. The study was guided by three specific objectives which were: to establish the extent of application of entrepreneurial innovations in the food processing and manufacturing in targeted firms in Lusaka; to analyse the contribution of entrepreneurial innovations to the food processing and manufacturing industry from 2017 to 2021, and to assess the performance of the food processing and manufacturing industry in Zambia for the period under review with regard to application of entrepreneurial innovation. Three dairy processing industries in the Lusaka district were studied, focusing on their production of customer-centric solutions while adhering to food safety and quality standards. The study employed a descriptive research design to achieve the set objectives. Two sampling techniques were used: convenience sampling for selecting dairy food industries and snowball sampling for individuals with in-depth information on the thematic subject matter. The study used an interview guide to collect the required data from the ten overall interviewees and five key informants participated in semi-structured interviews. The interviews covered key themes like knowledge utilization, collaboration, innovation realization, triggers and outcomes, important decisions, and challenges. Data analysis was conducted using NVivo (version 12.2), and operational definitions of codes were developed. The findings showed that the two types of innovative entrepreneurship; product and market innovation were being applied in Zambias diary food manufacturing industry though product innovation had a minimal effect on dairy manufacturing firms. Analysed in terms of the conduct of their businesses, entrepreneurial innovations to the food processing and manufacturing industry makes valuable contributions to the GDP by creating jobs, achieving economic development, reducing inequalities, and plays a crucial role in fostering economic transformation. With regard to the performance of the food processing and manufacturing industry, the study noted that the dairy manufacturing industry, which plays a significant role in economic development, could use entrepreneurial innovations as a tactical option to improve its competitiveness, survival, and growth in the fast-paced competitive business climate. Overall, the study showed that market innovation has an impact on how well dairy manufacturing companies succeed. These companies performed better when they expanded their market by luring new clients with discounts and by using online marketing. Accordingly, the study draws the conclusion that market innovation can enhance the performance of dairy manufacturing companies since it has a favourable and significant impact on performance. The study, therefore, recommends for the formulation and implementation of any policy regulatory and/or legislative corporate measures from government through the line ministries (livestock and fisheries, agriculture, commerce, trade and industries etc) aimed at easing the cost of doing business for the industry players to sustain their production, productivity, investment, profitability, and portfolio expansion. |
| An Assessment of Factors Affecting Employee Performance in Zambian Local Authorities: A Case Study of Lukulu Town Council | Author : Kanyanta Makasa , Chrine C. Hapompwe | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Organizational performance through employee performance has been a major global concern of companies and as such various organizations have shifted focus on engineering their employee management processes. The purpose of the study was to assess factors affecting employee performance in Zambian municipalities. The study was guided by three objectives which were; to establish effects of employee motivation on employee performance; to find out the effect of working conditions on employee performance, and to establish the effect of management style on employee performance. A mixed method approach was used with questionnaire and scheduled interviews as data collection tools. A census was used to derive the total sample size of 93 employees. Stratified sampling technique was utilized where 93 respondents were administered with questionnaires while 11 respondents were selected for qualitative data collection through interviews. The study utilized a descriptive approach to quantitative data analysis through the use of SPSS while qualitative data was themed for content analysis. The study response was 97%. The results revealed that majority of the employees at 83% stated that they did not receive enough morale to achieve their tasks which depicted lack of motivation through performance management strategies and feedback. Similarly, 70% stated that they lacked a proper environment, tools, personal protective clothing, and equipment to undertake their tasks effectively and efficiently. Further, 75% stated that there was no key consultation and feedback with regards to tasks and grievances, which are a critical component for motivation and effective performance of roles and responsibilities. Employees felt discriminated which is contrary to the aspirations of the Equity Theory. The study concluded that despite setting clear organizational goals, management lacked proper merit based performance management strategies interlaced with motivation techniques, the creation of a conducive working environment through provision of requisite tools for effective performance and proper establishment of both vertical and horizontal work relationships between superiors and subordinates for effective communication. Therefore, the study strongly recommends the establishment of reward based performance management systems with measurable key performance indicators to accord feedback to the employees along with the need to invest in employee health and safety through provision of well-ventilated office space, personal protective equipment and other working tools. There must be deliberately established systems of top-bottom communication to create a sense of belonging and promote inclusiveness in decision making for employees at production level through necessary key consultations and performance feedback. |

| Navigating Sustainability Reporting Challenges in Pluralistic Societies: Insights from Balinese SMEs and the Integration of Tri Hita Karana and Tri Pramana | Author : Gde Deny Larasdiputra | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In pluralistic societies, navigating diverse perspectives and promoting sustainable practices pose significant challenges. This paper explores the complexities of sustainability reporting within organizations, focusing on the transition towards more mature and integrated approaches. Through qualitative research, we delve into the institutionalization of sustainability reporting, integration of innovative accounting technologies, and strategies to address challenges encountered in the reporting process. Key findings highlight the hurdles faced by Sustainability Reporting Managers, including limited experience, low external readership, and perceived redundancy by senior management. Furthermore, managers often confront constraints imposed by CEO reporting strategies, balancing the inclusion of positive narratives while maintaining sincerity in Sustainability Reports. Drawing from Balinese SMEs experiences, we introduce the concepts of Tri Hita Karana and Tri Pramana as guiding principles for sustainable development. Tri Hita Karana emphasizes harmonious relationships with the divine, natural world, and community, while Tri Pramana focuses on leveraging human abilities for innovation and growth. Integrating these concepts into business practices promotes economic prosperity, environmental stewardship, and social well-being. In conclusion, this paper advocates for a multi-faceted approach to sustainable development, combining education, collaboration, and policy advocacy. By embracing cultural and spiritual values, organizations can foster a culture of sustainability and responsible entrepreneurship for the benefit of present and future generations. |

| On the Macroeconomic Determinants of Foreign Investor Participation in the Nairobi Securities Exchange in Kenya | Author : Loice Koskei | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The participation of foreign investors in a countrys securities market plays a crucial role in the growth of any country. Kenya has continued to experience volatility of foreign investor flows leading to instability in the financial market. The study aimed to identify the macroeconomic determinants, which have a significant effect on foreign investor participation in Kenya. Secondary monthly data for the period January 2020 to December 2023 was extracted from the Central Bank of Kenya, Capital Markets Authority, and Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. The multiple regression model with the assistance of SPSS software was employed to analyze data. Findings revealed that the inflation rate, exchange rate, and GDP growth rate had a negative and statistically significant effect on the participation of foreign investors as illustrated by P-values of 0.001, 0.032, and 0.05 respectively, which are less than 0.05. The results inferred that the inflation rate, exchange rate, and GDP growth rate affect the participation of foreign investors at the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Interest rate as measured by the 365-day Treasury bill rate had a positive and statistically insignificant effect on the participation of foreign investors as presented by a P-value of 0.107. The results implied that changes in Treasury bill rates do not affect the participation of foreign investors at the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The notable fluctuations in currency rates and their volatility, along with the impact of inflation on foreign portfolio inflows, underscore the crucial role played by monetary policy. This should be accomplished by stabilizing the value of the Kenyan shilling. Maintaining the stability of the value of the shilling is crucial to boosting the participation of foreign investors. |
