IMPACT TECHNOLOGICAL CAPITAL ON FINANCIAL DISTRESS

Abstract

The growth of the transportation and logistics sector in Indonesia since 2017 has not been significant until now coupled with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic which forced companies to adapt to health emergencies through adaptation to technology. This study examines adaptation to technology through the variable of technological capital disclosure to financial distress. Using 92 valid observations in transportation and logistics sector companies, it was concluded that technological capital disclosure has a significant negative effect on financial distress, meaning that the higher the technology adaptation, the more the company has the potential to experience financial distress because the adaptation requires costs plus the research period involving the Covid-19 pandemic.
