2024-04-17T06:02:15+07:00

The main challenge in building a creative industry that acquires a digital platform is the limited ideas used to encourage the presence of booming products and the limited understanding of employees of creative industry players in dealing with technological changes; this is in line with the phenomenon where 31.40% of digital business actors in Indonesia are still experiencing a decline in revenue in 2022. In connection with the main obstacles, this research aims to find constructs capable of mediating the role of technology in the form of Social Media Use to Work (SMUW) in its impact on Creative Performance (CP). Where SMUW, in many studies, has no significant effect on building CP. This study offers the role of Trust-Based Active Participation (TBAP) and Innovative Culture (IC) in mediating SMUW against CP. The object of this research is the creative industry that uses digital platforms, with a total sample of 188 businesses. This study empirically proves that SMUW does not significantly affect CP, but TBAP and IC can boost SMUW on CP with a a total effect of 0.384. From this achievement, it is proven empirically that TBAP and IC can fully mediate the role of SMUW on CP. In implementing the strategy, it was found that in order to optimize the role of SMUW for CP. This contributes to the domain of learning organization theory and middle ring dynamic capability.

Comprehensive Board of Commissioner Diversity and Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure in Indonesia

2023-11-29T14:31:16+07:00

This study examines the effect of comprehensive board of commissioner diversity (BOC_DIV) and corporate responsibility (CSR) disclosure for listed companies in Indonesia from 2019 – 2020. The implementation of CSR is growing in emerging markets, including Indonesia. In the context of the dual board system in Indonesia, the role of the board of commissioner is vital to address the growing CSR issue through their monitoring and supervising functions. We based our study on Indonesian-listed firms across industries. However, we exclude the financial sector due to different policies. Multiple Regression is employed to investigate the relationship, and the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) model is executed to identify whether our model falls into the endogeneity problem. The results showed that several Board of Commissioner characteristics (such as size, independence, and gender) are positively associated with CSR disclosure. After testing for the endogeneity problem, the findings remain similar. We examine several dimensions of the board of commissioner diversity on non-financial outcomes, especially CSR disclosure, in the context of developing countries where a dual board system is implemented.

Developments and Themes in Islamic Work Ethic Studies: A Bibliometric Analysis

2023-11-29T15:50:17+07:00

Current literature shows that the study of Islamic work ethics is increasingly popular among researchers and human resource managers because the role of religion and its relationship to work outcomes is familiar in management. Islamic work ethics are expected to be able to fix employee morale problems that can have bad consequences for the company. This study explores trend analysis related to Islamic work ethics (IWE) research from 1988 to November 2022. The study seeks to learn more about (1) the growth and trend of publications in the field of IWE today, (2) the most prolific contributors to the study of IWE, (3) documents widely cited in IWE research; and (4) critical terms of keywords and concepts for the investigation of Islamic work ethics. Scopus was used to compile the information. The search yielded 175 documents, which became 160 documents after the screening. Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, Publish or Perish (PoP), and Microsoft Excel were used to export and analyze the data. According to the findings, the number of publications increased from one year to the next, peaking between 2016 and 2022. The study found that authors with Malaysian affiliations were the most significant contributors to the IWE study. Network visualization mapping is used to categorize studies of Islamic work ethics into four broad categories: knowledge about Islamic work ethics, employee behaviour and performance, leadership culture, and work motivation. In addition, the study also highlights two clusters of IWE studies, namely the influence and practice of IWE. The study has implications for the future development of IWE studies and suggests IWE studies in terms of potential corruption, innovation, and leadership.

2023-12-20T12:56:24+07:00

Cross-functional integration (CFI) plays a crucial role in achieving the business objectives of any organization. This study assessed the impact of CFI on the organizational performance of a semiconductor company in the Philippines. This descriptive-quantitative research used an adapted questionnaire covering the three elements of CFI: collaboration, coordination, and communication. The data were gathered using Google Forms via email and Microsoft Teams from 87 employees on their supervisory levels of the subject-semiconductor company. The findings revealed that the subject-semiconductor company has a supportive culture for CFI. The present study has also provided empirical evidence that CFI is crucial to organizational performance. CFI practices in terms of the three elements have no significant differences as perceived by the respondents when grouped according to age, gender, and length of service. However, there exist significant differences in their perceptions of the practice of CFI in terms of coordination and communication when they are grouped by area/ department assignment. This suggests that the company can improve CFI by focusing on better coordination and communication across functions.

The Role of Employee Empowerment in Mediating the Effect of Leader-Member Exchange on Employee Performance in Dekranasda Riau Islands Province 2021-2024

2023-08-15T13:13:47+07:00

The decline in the performance of employees at Dekranasda in the eight districts/cities of the Riau Archipelago province is the background of this research. This study aims to uncover and analyze the effect of empowerment, which mediated the effect of Leader Member Exchange (LMX) on employee performance in Dekranasda, which is dispersed toward eight regencies/the city of Riau Islands Province. The study contributes to the development of the LMX concept, which fosters its relation toward employee performance mediated by engagement. Furthermore, the study uses survey methods for gaining the data by questionnaire. The total respondents involved in this study are 303 persons in the Dekranasda Office Riau. The analysis data used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). This study shows that LMX directly and significantly affects employee performance. Furthermore, empowerment affects employee performance positively but does not mediate the effect of LMX on employee performance. This study merely involves the employees of Dekranasda, who are dispersed in the eight districts/cities of the Riau Archipelago province. This study shows the importance of direct interpersonal relationships between managers and employees in the realm of public service. As suggested by the LMX theory, managers delegate responsibility and provide more support and appreciation to subordinates in the group, which is considered as empowerment. The results of this study are consistent with the LMX theory, which emphasizes the importance of interpersonal factors in the workplace, especially in the local government sphere. The results of this study can be used as a basis or input for stakeholders in Dekranasda in designing an ideal relationship between superiors and subordinates so that subordinates are able to produce good performance to achieve organizational goals.
