https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1292
De-influencing is a new trend that has attracted a lot of attention. Contrary to the usual product recommendations made by influencers, de-influencing involves influencers explicitly advising their audience not to buy certain products that they have reviewed in depth, or to be more discerning in their consumption of a product. This study examines the influence of de-influencing on Gen Z consumers' interest in purchasing technology products, with source credibility as the mediator. This quantitative study collected data from 385 Gen Z individuals who are active on social media, through Likert-scaled online questionnaires, utilizing simple random sampling. The data were then analyzed using SEM-PLS in SmartPLS 3. All hypotheses proposed were supported. The findings indicate that de-influencing on social media significantly affects the decline in Gen Z’s interest in purchasing technology products. The role of source credibility acts as a mediator in reinforcing de-influencing on the decline in purchasing interest. The role of source credibility effectively mediates how de-influencing affects the decline in interest in purchasing technology products. In addition, this study proposes alternative dimensions for measuring de-influencing, role of source credibility, and purchase interest. This study can provide insight to Gen Z so that they can be selective in purchasing technology products by finding out the advantages and disadvantages of the technology products they are going to buy, as well as comparing products with specifications that are not much different even though they are from different brands. This study focuses on the purchasing intentions of Gen Z consumers influenced by de-influencing and source credibility. Future research could benefit from incorporating other key factors, such as the intensity or content presented on social media, to provide a more comprehensive understanding.Andre WirathaNur Kemalasari

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1280
The progress of urbanization and modernization in the industrial sector has brought major changes to the position and role of women in society. Many women workers who are already families experience the dual pressure between the demands of work and household responsibilities. This phenomenon illustrates the changing dynamics of the family economy, where the role of women is increasingly dominant as the main breadwinner, often even the only source of family income. In this study, we explored the effect of burnout on turnover intention in female workers who have families in Pontianak, mediated by Quality of Work Life. The focus of the research is directed to find out the extent to which the level of physical, emotional, and mental fatigue (burnout) can drive the intention to change jobs, as well as the role of work life quality in weakening or strengthening these relationships. The method used in this study is a quantitative method, which aims to measure the relationship between variables objectively, systematically, and statistically analyzed. The population is female workers who have families in Pontianak. Sampling was determined using the purposive sampling method. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires compiled based on the indicators of each research variable. There were 124 respondents which were then processed using WarpPLS 7.0. The results of the study show that burnout has a positive and significant influence on turnover intention. The findings of this study also show that QWL is a significant mediator in the relationship between burnout and turnover intention.Stefanie DanielaAlberd

2025-10-242025-10-2479580110.37034/infeb.v7i4.1284The Effect of Capital Structure, Sales Growth, Cash Turnover, and Firm Size on Profitability Mediated by Operational Effiency: Evidance from Healthcare Industry Listed on IDX
https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1290
This study examines the effect of capital structure, sales growth, cash turnover, and firm size on profitability mediated by operational efficiency in Indonesia’s healthcare industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020–2024. The healthcare sector is a capital-intensive industry that faces high operational costs and complex regulations, leading to fluctuating profitability despite strong sales growth. This topic is relevant because previous studies provide inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between leverage and profitability in capital-intensive firms. The research adopts a quantitative approach using secondary data from financial statements of healthcare companies listed on IDX. Samples were selected through a purposive sampling technique, and panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) was used for hypothesis testing. Operational efficiency was analyzed as a mediating variable through the Sobel test to examine indirect effects. The findings of this study indicate that capital structure (DER) and firm size have a significant negative effect on operational efficiency. However, capital structure does not significantly affect profitability (ROA), while firm size has a significant negative effect on profitability (ROA). The results also show that sales growth and cash turnover have no significant effect on operational efficiency. Furthermore, operational efficiency is proven to mediate the negative and significant effects of capital structure and firm size on profitability (ROA), but it does not mediate the relationship between sales growth and cash turnover with profitability (ROA).These findings imply that healthcare companies should optimize their capital structure and asset utilization while enhancing operational efficiency to sustain profitability.Hamad SyofyanHalkadri Fitra

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1307
The rapid increase in private vehicle use has also boosted the growth prospects of repair shops in Indonesia. In this context, service plays a crucial role in creating new revenue streams for businesses while contributing to improved company performance. However, risk-taking is crucial in bridging the gap between the concept and implementation of this strategy. This study aims to identify the influence of service on company performance in repair shops in West Sumatra, with risk-taking as a mediating variable. Using quantitative methods, this study collected data from 80 repair shops in West Sumatra and analyzed it using a Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach. The results show a positive and significant relationship between servitization and risk-taking, as well as between risk-taking and company performance. Furthermore, servitization has also been shown to have a positive and significant effect on company performance. Further findings indicate that risk-taking mediates the positive and significant relationship between servitization and company performance. Thus, this study confirms that servitization and risk-taking play a significant role in improving company performance. This research contributes to the broader understanding of business models, particularly in the repair shop sector, where the concept of service is generally studied more in the context of manufacturing companies. This research highlights how servitization can shape firm performance through its mediating role in risk-taking.Vero TanjungErni Masdupi

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1299
This study aims to investigate the relationship between Work-Life Balance (WLB) and Employee Engagement (EE) among millennial employees working in startups. With the growing prevalence of startups, understanding the factors that influence employee engagement, particularly in the context of work-life balance, is crucial. A total of 135 millennial employees from various startups participated in the survey, which utilized a structured questionnaire based on existing scales for WLB and EE. The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between work-life balance and employee engagement. Employees who perceive better work-life balance tend to report higher levels of engagement in their work. This finding emphasizes the importance of organizational policies that support work-life balance, such as flexible working hours and work-from-home options, in fostering employee engagement. The study also highlights the need for startups to create a supportive work environment to maintain high levels of employee motivation and job satisfaction. Future research could examine additional factors that influence employee engagement, such as leadership styles and career development opportunities, to further enhance organizational outcomes.Ricca HendartiFebrina Soraya TanjungMei Veronika Sri Endang Siagian

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1295
The emergence of the metaverse has transformed digital marketing by offering immersive and interactive experiences that reshape consumer behavior. This study explores the role of metaverse marketing as a new opportunity for creative entrepreneurs in building consumer experience and behavioral intention. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 282 respondents who had interacted with creative entrepreneurship activities in the metaverse, such as virtual fashion shows, digital music concerts, and art exhibitions. The measurement model was validated for reliability and validity, and data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS).

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1294
Digital transformation has emerged as a critical catalyst for achieving competitive advantage in the knowledge-based economy. This study aims to examine the role of managerial capability in driving digital transformation success and its impact on sustainable competitive advantage among firms operating in emerging markets. Employing a quantitative explanatory survey design, data were collected from 150 respondents consisting of mid and senior level managers in the manufacturing, service, and financial sectors across Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4.0. The results reveal that managerial capability significantly influences digital transformation, which in turn positively affects firms’ dynamic capabilities. Moreover, dynamic capabilities were found to mediate the relationship between digital transformation and sustainable competitive advantage.

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1296
This study aims to analyze the influence of green branding strategy on consumer loyalty by considering the mediating role of brand trust among eco-friendly product consumers in Central Java. The research employed an explanatory quantitative approach with a survey design. The population consisted of consumers of green cosmetics, organic food, and eco-labeled household products, with a sample of 140 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale adapted from previous studies. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4.0. The findings reveal that green branding strategy has a positive and significant impact on consumer loyalty, both directly and indirectly through brand trust. The results indicate that the stronger the green branding strategy implemented by a company, the higher the consumer trust, which in turn fosters greater loyalty. Brand trust serves as a partial mediator, implying that while green branding strategy can directly enhance loyalty, its effect becomes stronger when consumers also trust the brand’s sustainability commitment. Theoretically, this study enriches the green marketing literature by providing empirical evidence of the strategic role of green branding in building loyalty through the psychological mechanism of trust. Practically, it suggests that companies should strengthen environmental information transparency, consistent brand communication, and sustainable innovation to build both trust and long-term loyalty. From a policy perspective, the study highlights the importance for regulators to strengthen green labeling standards and enhance consumer education in order to reduce greenwashing practices.Salamatun AsakdiyahBunga AditiI Gede Novian Suteja

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1283
This article discusses the effectiveness of government fiscal policy in promoting Indonesia's economic growth using the Keynesian theory perspective. The research was conducted using a quantitative descriptive approach with secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for the period 2019-2023, covering macroeconomic indicators such as household consumption, investment, government spending, exports and imports, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The results show that active government intervention through increased state spending, social assistance programs, subsidies, and fiscal incentives can increase aggregate demand, expand employment opportunities, and strengthen people's purchasing power. Infrastructure development and international trade support have also been shown to contribute to expanding national production capacity and increasing global competitiveness. These findings confirm the relevance of Keynesian theory in the context of the Indonesian economy, where expansionary fiscal policy is not only capable of maintaining stability but also promoting sustainable economic growth. However, the implementation of such policies needs to be more focused on sustainability and social equity so that development outcomes can be more inclusive and just.Charles Fransiscus AmbaritaAde Rahma Sintiya Siregar

2025-11-092025-11-0986286710.37034/infeb.v7i4.1283Opportunities and Challenges of Implementing Communication Management in Organizations Managed by Gen-Z
https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1293
Generational shifts in the workplace present new dynamics in organizational management, particularly in the communication aspect. This article discusses the implementation of communication management, along with the opportunities and challenges in organizations managed by Generation Z (Gen-Z). With Gen-Z's inherent affinity for digital technology, communication tends to be fast, flexible, and multi-channel. This opens up opportunities for efficient internal communication, increased collaboration, and innovation in conveying organizational messages. However, on the other hand, challenges arise, such as a low preference for formal communication, a generational gap with more senior team members, and the risk of miscommunication due to excessive use of digital media. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review. The analysis shows that successful communication management in this context is heavily influenced by cross-generational adaptability, digital literacy, and the development of an inclusive communication culture. These findings are expected to serve as a reference in designing more effective and sustainable organizational communication strategies in the era of new-generation leadership.Tri RumayantoSiti Nurjannah SanusiSri Sutali Bani

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1300
This study aims to examine the effect of Open Banking adoption through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) on corporate working capital efficiency in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative explanatory approach, the research involved 90 respondents consisting of finance managers, accounting staff, and fintech decision-makers across multiple industrial sectors. Data were collected via an online survey using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that API-based Open Banking adoption has a significant positive effect on working capital efficiency (β=0.482; p<0.001). This effect is mediated by data transparency and processing speed, enabling firms to accelerate cash conversion cycles, shorten receivable periods, and enhance liquidity management accuracy. Furthermore, the level of financial digitalization strengthens the relationship between API adoption and working capital efficiency, while firm size shows no significant impact. These results support the Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capabilities theories within the digital finance context and enrich the literature on Open Banking’s role in fostering financial efficiency and operational excellence. Practically, the study provides insights for policymakers and financial institutions to promote broader API integration within corporate financial systems.Hendy Budianto

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1304
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been increasingly recognized as a critical factor in enhancing leadership effectiveness, particularly within transformational leadership contexts. This study aims to explore the relationship between EI and transformational leadership effectiveness by examining how EI contributes to key leadership behaviors such as motivation, empathy, and conflict resolution. Using a qualitative approach, the research involved semi structured interviews and direct observation of 20 leaders from diverse sectors, including education, healthcare, technology, and manufacturing. The study identifies four primary EI dimensions self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social skills as key drivers of transformational leadership behaviors. Leaders with high EI demonstrated greater effectiveness in fostering positive organizational climates, motivating teams, and facilitating innovation. The results suggest that EI enhances transformational leadership by enabling leaders to better manage interpersonal relationships, respond to challenges, and create an environment of trust and collaboration. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of tailoring leadership development programs to emphasize EI competencies, particularly empathy and self regulation, to address the challenges of today’s dynamic business environment. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how EI can be integrated into leadership practices to improve employee engagement and organizational success. Future research should further explore the long term impact of EI on leadership effectiveness across various cultural and organizational contexts.Deri PrayudiIqbal ArraniriTatang Rois

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1301
The rapid growth of social media, particularly TikTok, has reshaped marketing communication and consumer behavior, especially among Generation Z (Gen Z). This study aims to examine the role of TikTok content virality in shaping Gen Z’s purchase intentions in Pontianak City. A quantitative survey approach was employed with 225 Gen Z respondents who had been active TikTok users for at least the past six months. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS. The findings indicate that TikTok content virality significantly influences Gen Z’s purchase intentions, both directly and indirectly through mediating variables: user engagement, emotional response, and trust/credibility. Furthermore, the moderation analysis reveals that brand trust and influencer credibility strengthen the relationship between content virality and purchase intentions. This suggests that the effectiveness of viral content is determined not only by its reach but also by the degree of consumer trust in both the brand and the content creator. Theoretically, this research contributes to digital marketing literature by reinforcing the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) within the TikTok marketing context. Practically, it provides valuable insights for marketers to design authentic, interactive, and credible content that sustainably enhances Gen Z’s purchase intentions.Alvin Lesmana

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1326
This study analyzes the influence of the e-filing system implementation, digital tax system accessibility, and tax sanctions on Individual Taxpayer Compliance at KPP Pratama Pamekasan. The research background is grounded in the significant decline in taxpayer compliance in Pamekasan over the past two years, despite the national trend of increasing tax revenue. The study aims to determine how tax administration modernization through e-filing, the ease of accessing digital tax services, and the enforcement of tax sanctions influence taxpayer compliance behavior. A quantitative research approach using a survey method was employed, with primary data collected from 420 Individual Taxpayers registered at KPP Pratama Pamekasan. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to examine the effect of each independent variable. The results indicate that the implementation of the e-filing system has a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance, suggesting that better e-filing implementation leads to higher compliance in annual tax reporting. Digital tax system accessibility also shows a positive and significant effect, indicating that ease of access to digital services encourages higher compliance. Furthermore, tax sanctions have a positive and significant impact in line with deterrence theory, where the presence of strict sanctions increases compliance. In conclusion, these three variables simultaneously contribute to improving individual taxpayer compliance in Pamekasan. The findings provide valuable insights for tax authorities to enhance digital service quality and strengthen tax law enforcement mechanisms.Febriana Rosa AmiliaLukmanul Hakim

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1309
This study investigates how psychological and trust-related factors influence continuous online buying intention among consumers in Jambi City, Indonesia. The research integrates perceived internet risk, consumer self-efficacy, and platform trust as exogenous variables, with privacy stress and brand trust serving as mediating constructs. A quantitative research design was applied, and data were collected through an online survey of 384 active e-commerce users in Jambi. The dataset was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The results show that perceived internet risk significantly increases privacy stress but does not directly diminish brand trust. Consumer self-efficacy and platform trust positively influence brand trust, although neither directly reduces privacy stress. Brand trust emerges as the most influential factor in shaping continuous online buying intention, whereas privacy stress shows no significant direct effect. However, both mediators privacy stress and brand trust play significant indirect roles, transmitting the influence of risk perception, digital confidence, and platform credibility toward behavioral loyalty. The model demonstrates substantial explanatory power, confirming its robustness and predictive validity. Overall, the findings highlight that sustained online purchasing behavior in Jambi’s digital market depends not only on technological reliability but also on emotional assurance and brand credibility. Strengthening consumer trust and reducing psychological discomfort are therefore essential strategies for ensuring long-term digital loyalty.Irfan HassandiMira Gustiana PangestuYosi Fadillah

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1310
In the era of digital transformation, improving employee performance has become a major challenge for companies to remain competitive. This study aims to analyze the effect of training and job satisfaction on employee performance, with tenure as a moderating variable, at PT RK Branch Cibeureum, Bandung City. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 64 respondents employees selected using a simple random sampling method. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the SmartPLS 4 software. The results show that both training and job satisfaction have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, with job satisfaction emerging as the most dominant factor. However, tenure does not have a significant influence, either directly or as a moderating variable. These findings emphasize that employee performance improvement depends more on the effectiveness of training programs and the level of job satisfaction rather than the length of service. Therefore, companies should prioritize the development of relevant training programs and implement strategies to enhance job satisfaction in order to optimize employee performance.Pingka Berlia NikaLina Anatan

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1312
Food security is a crucial issue that is influenced by various factors, including migration and gender. This study aims to analyze the effect of gender dynamics and migration incentives on food security in Indonesia. This study uses annual panel data from 34 provinces in Indonesia during the period 2019-2024. The data includes the Food Security Index (IKP) as the dependent variable, with independent variables such as rural worker migration (MIG), women's participation in the agricultural sector (WANAGR), and GRDP per capita as control variables. The analysis method used is the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) to overcome endogeneity and capture dynamic effects. The results show that rural labor migration has a positive and significant effect on food security, mainly through the mechanism of remittances that increase household purchasing power. Similarly, women's participation in the agricultural sector has a positive and significant effect, where increased female involvement drives productivity and food self-sufficiency. GRDP per capita is also proven to have a positive effect on food security. This study emphasizes the importance of policies that regulate the distribution of migrant workers, manage remittances, and empower women in the agricultural sector to strengthen national food security.FeriansyahA.

2025-12-312025-12-3196196810.37034/infeb.v7i4.1315A Cross-Platform Payroll Information System for SMEs: An Agile-Scrum Approach at CV. Gema Syifa Engineering
https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1332
This study focuses on constructing an integrated payroll application utilizing web and Android platforms at CV Gema Syifa Engineering through the implementation of Agile Scrum methodology. The primary challenge motivating this research involves the company's reliance on a semi-automated compensation mechanism that necessitates manual information entry via spreadsheet documents and data storage in fragmented directories. This situation generates various operational obstacles including time wastage during payroll data insertion, elevated frequency of data validity errors, restricted information access, and complexity in remuneration computation procedures. Furthermore, the absence of system integration results in sluggish wage calculation execution, inconsistent computational outcomes, and questionable data credibility. The research approach adopts the Agile Scrum framework which facilitates adaptive and cyclical software development processes through sprint iterations. System architecture is designed by applying Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation encompassing use case representations, activity flow diagrams, interaction sequence diagrams, and database structures normalized to the third stage (3NF).Implementation outputs demonstrate that the constructed solution successfully accommodates comprehensive integration of the entire payroll workflow, spanning from personnel information administration, attendance documentation, overtime computation, to automated generation of compensation calculations and salary slip documents. The application provides layered access segregation: administrators possess full privileges for system configuration, while employees can access their personal remuneration information and attendance records. Security protection mechanisms are implemented through two-factor authentication (2FA) for administrators and automatic account locking systems following three unsuccessful login attempts. System verification through Blackbox testing approach confirms that all functionalities operate according to design parameters. This implementation proves to optimize efficiency and precision in payroll data management, minimize computational errors, and provide superior accessibility for HR divisions and workforce. The system is projected to support enhanced operational performance and human resource satisfaction at CV Gema Syifa Engineering.Muhamad Fatchul HudaDendy K PramuditoPurnama Sakhrial Pradini

https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1313
This study aims to determine the comparison of financial performance and bank health levels before and after mergers and acquisitions in the banking sector. The sample in this study consisted of seven banks. The data used in this study was secondary data, namely banking financial reports published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The data analysis techniques used in this study are the Shapiro Wilk normality test and hypothesis testing using the parametric independent sample t-test and non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test with the help of the SPSS 27 calculation application. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant effect of the merger and acquisition process on the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Loan to Deposit (LDR), between before and after the merger and acquisition. However, there is no significant effect of the merger and acquisition process on Non-Performing Loans (NPL), Return on Assets (ROA), Net Interest Margin (NIM), and Good Corporate Governance (GCG) between before and after the merger and acquisition. In general, mergers and acquisitions have not yet provided synergies for banks that have undergone mergers and acquisitions.Adhila Yasmin SalsabilaAndewi RokhmawatiFiona

This study analyzes the level of understanding of final-year accounting students at UIN Imam Bonjol Padang regarding basic accounting concepts, considering gender and educational background. The objectives are to measure the understanding of basic accounting elements (assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses, accounting cycle), identify differences based on gender and educational background, and identify obstacles and solutions. A descriptive quantitative approach was used through a questionnaire survey of 103 active students of the Accounting Study Program at UIN Imam Bonjol Padang. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney Test for gender and the Kruskal-Wallis Test for educational background. The results show that students' overall understanding is good (average 81%). The accounting cycle has the highest understanding (89%), while liabilities have the lowest (70%). There is a significant difference in understanding based on gender (p=0.014), where women are better than men. A significant difference was also found based on educational background (p=0.002), with graduates of Accounting Vocational Schools showing the best understanding. Obstacles include difficulty understanding terms, distinguishing debits/credits, lack of focus, minimal practicums, and infrequent lecturers. Suggested solutions are increasing practicums and adding accounting books to the library.Novia Citra DewiMisneliWemi AryunaRegita

2025-12-312025-12-311004100910.37034/infeb.v7i4.1323Does ICT Favor Vulnerable Group? Evidence from Poverty and Inequality Alleviation in Eastern Indonesia
https://infeb.org/index.php/infeb/article/view/1321
The advancement of information technology has resulted in various economic effects. This study examines how access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) influences poverty and income inequality in Eastern Indonesia, using panel data from 12 provinces between 2014 and 2024. To address potential endogeneity issues like reverse causality and omitted variable bias, the research utilizes Instrumental Variables (2SLS) models for estimation. The findings indicate that while there is a negative correlation between increased internet access and poverty levels, this relationship loses its causal significance once endogeneity is considered. Conversely, ICT consistently shows a negative and significant impact on income inequality, particularly evident in the model. This suggests that ICT is more effective in addressing inequality than in directly reducing poverty. Furthermore, structural factors such as unemployment, electrification, and GRDP per capita play a significant role in shaping the economic welfare dynamics in Eastern Indonesia. The study highlights that digital development can only be inclusive when supported by equitable infrastructure and high-quality human resources.Navi'ah Khusniati
