The objective of this study was to analyze factors that affecting job performance based on Herzberg’s two-factor theory among employees who worked overtime at shipyard industry. The study employed an explanatory research design and cross-sectional design. The total sample was 104 employees working, who were selected through random sampling. The endogenous variable was job performance, the exogenous variables were motivation and hygiene factors, and the mediator was job satisfaction. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) – Partial Least Squares (PLS). The study's results showed that the motivation and hygiene factor had a positive and significant effect on Job Performance. In addition, job satisfaction had a positive and significant effect on job performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction mediated the relationship between motivation factor and job performance, as well as the relationship between hygiene factor and job performance. These findings implied that companies needed to pay attention to incentives (hygiene) and good working conditions (motivation).

2026-05-15T06:17:32+00:00

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure is crucial for enhancing investor confidence through sustainable business practices. However, not all high-value performance firms in Indonesia apply or complete ESG disclosure. This study analyzes the moderating role of Firm Value in the effect of ESG disclosure on Stock Liquidity. It also examines the direct effect of Firm Value on Stock Liquidity. The study uses data from LQ 45 companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2020-2024) and a moderated regression model. The results show that Firm Value strengthens the positive effect of ESG disclosure on Stock Liquidity. ESG disclosure and Firm Value also directly affect Stock Liquidity. This finding implies that high-value companies receive a more favorable market response to ESG disclosure. Strong Firm Values can increase investor attractiveness and company Stock Liquidity by extending Signaling theory integrated with Legitimacy theory.

Digital Fluency as a Missing Mechanism in Government Digital Transformation: Linking Digital Literacy, Technostress, and Employee Performance

2026-06-26T03:24:08+00:00

This study examines the effects of digital literacy and technostress on employee performance through digital fluency among Indonesian civil servants implementing the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). Drawing on Dynamic Capabilities Theory, it proposes that digital literacy enhances digital fluency and performance, while technostress reduces both outcomes, with digital fluency serving as a mediating mechanism. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed using survey data from 252 civil servants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected between February and April 2026 through online questionnaires and analyzed using PROCESS Macro Model 4 in SPSS with 5,000 bootstrap resamples. Measurement validity and reliability were confirmed, and Spearman correlation was applied due to non-normal data distribution. Results indicate that digital literacy significantly improves digital fluency and employee performance, whereas technostress significantly reduces digital fluency but does not directly affect performance. Digital fluency partially mediates the relationship between digital literacy and performance and fully mediates the relationship between technostress and performance. The findings suggest that performance in digital government environments depends largely on employees’ ability to convert digital skills into digital fluency. Organizations should therefore prioritize digital fluency development and technostress reduction through targeted training and improved system design.

Mapping Talent Management Research In The Private Sector: A Literature Mapping Study

2026-07-15T07:33:07+00:00

Talent management is increasingly recognized as a strategic capability that enables organizations to sustain competitiveness in a rapidly changing business environment. This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by synthesizing evidence from 23 journal articles, comprising 20 Scopus-indexed publications (Q1–Q3) and three articles published in Sinta 3-accredited journal, namely the International Journal of Economics, Business and Entrepreneurship (IJEBE). The review examines four key dimensions of talent management: conceptual foundations, best practices, implementation challenges, and adaptive strategies. The findings reveal that talent management remains conceptually fragmented across the literature. Current best practices emphasize the integration of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, employee well-being, and organizational justice into talent management systems. Nevertheless, organizations continue to face significant challenges, including talent shortages, resource constraints, algorithmic bias in digital systems, and weak alignment between talent development initiatives and organizational strategy. The review highlights the importance of integrating learning and development with career management, adopting adaptive digital transformation strategies, and strengthening organizational trust and work–life balance policies. Overall, These findings extend the talent management literature while offering practical insights for organizations seeking to establish adaptive and sustainable talent management systems.

Methods: The study adopted a quantitative research design, the main source of data was primary data, the questionnaires was main data instrument collection, target population was customers of financial institution, sample size was 150 customers selected to participted using convenient sampling technique, the estimation technique was ordinary least square (OLS). Result: The finding revealed that mass media has a positive and statistically significant effect on mobile money adoption (β=0.1403751, P=0.020), this implies that there is likelihood that an increase in the exposure to mass media campaigns. The finding also shows that, SMS notification has a positive and significant effect on the adoption mobile banking and the result was statistically significant at 1% level of significance, and SMS notification emerges as the most influential variable (β=0. 5398391, P=0.000). The finding further revealed that, word of mouth had a negative and significant impact (β = -0.1255, p = 0.019) revealing that informal communication discourage use, perhaps through the dissemination of unfavourable attitudes or disinformation. Conclusion and recommendations: To concur, the substantial positive and very significant association of SMS shows that the timely, direct and targeted communication has considerable effect on the customer behaviour.
