{"title":"The Effect of Tournament Horizon, Faultline and Group Performance Relationships under Decentralized System","authors":"Frida Fanani Rohma, Indah Shofiyah, Abdus Salam Junaedi","doi":"10.22146/jieb.v38i1.4532","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22146/jieb.v38i1.4532","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction/Main Objectives: This research integrates the self-categorization and contagion theories to analyze faultlines due to a decentralization system. Besides, this research investigates the inducement of tournament incentives as a control mechanism to mitigate the harmful effects of a faultline on group performance. Background Problems: Fiscal decentralization has a crucial role as it stimulates economic growth, enhances the quality of decision-making and escalates performance. However, decentralization by one local government, which consists of various local government departments, may trigger a faultline. This research argues that patterned diversity convenes faultlines that split up a group into antagonistic sub-groups following the attributes affecting the aggregate group performance. Novelty: This research provides a new insight, in that decentralization appears to be a double-edged sword. It can elevate the quality of local decision-making, and trigger faultlines between local government departments at other times, affecting the local government’s aggregate performance. Research Methods: This research uses a laboratory experimental method with a 2×3 between-subjects factorial design. The research design uses the dyad analysis level. Finding/Results: The results found that the induction of a tournament scheme with the use of a cumulative ordinal scale for determining group performance encourages the social cognitive activation of individuals, thus encouraging cognitive orientation to optimize compensation and minimize categorization and antagonism. Conclusion: A tournament incentive scheme can be induced as a management control mechanism and to encourage the sub-groups to be winners. This resolution is expected to mitigate antagonistic behavior due to faultlines and enhance the optimization of aggregate performance","PeriodicalId":31597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84610590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Setiawan, Maria Kontesa, Lee-Ung Soo","doi":"10.22146/jieb.v38i1.3981","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22146/jieb.v38i1.3981","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction/Main Objectives: This research aims to examine the effects of cash holdings on a firm’s R&D intensity. We further examine how that relationship may be varied across different controlling share­holders. For robustness reasons, we test it in a developing market and a developed market. Background Problems: Economics and business theories state that research and development (R&D) is susceptible to financing constraints due to the lack of collateral value and asymmetric information issues. This argument has been extensively debated with no consensus being reached. Therefore current study focuses on the examination of R&D and cash holding and the role of controlling shareholders. Novelty: The current study considers the importance of controlling shareholders on the relationship between cash holding and R&D intensity. We expect that different controlling shareholders will have different constraints on R&D financing. Research Methods: This study focuses on a sample of public listed companies in Malaysia and Singapore from the year 2012 to 2018, and estimates the model under a two-step GMM panel regression to eliminate the endogeneity issue. Finding/Results: The results show that cash holdings have significant effects on the intensity of R&D. However, that relationship is different across countries and across controlling shareholders. Malaysia’s foreign firms will increase their R&D’s intensity when their cash holdings are high. Meanwhile, Singaporean family firms will reduce the intensity of their R&D when their cash holdings are high. Overall the findings confirm the hypothetical alignment of the agency theory and also the resource-based view theory. Conclusion: Our findings surmise that higher cash holdings cause a lower R&D intensity due to the cash management decisions by managers. A firm with high leverage tends to reduce its R&D intensity when cash holdings are high, and vice versa. This behavior can be found in all the controlling shareholders.","PeriodicalId":31597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81809126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a study was conducted on the effect of these variables. Background of the problem: The transition of MSMEs in Indonesia to using e-commerce for carrying out their business transactions. Every year, there is an increase in the number of MSMEs converting from conventional to digital, as well as the government's contribution to assist in the transition. Novelty: The variable of interest in transacting through e-commerce is the basis for conventional businesses to switch to digital, but in other studies, no one has added a variable of trust as an intervening variable, and several other supporting variables for the interest in transacting via e-commerce. This study presents new research that provides a comprehensive view of the technology acceptance model (TAM) and how it relates to trust and interest in e-commerce transactions. Research Methods: This study uses a snowball sampling technique by employing a survey of the MSMEs in Indonesia with certain criteria. This study also uses structural equation modeling (SEM) based on partial least squares (PLS). Findings/Results: This study proves that all the variables of trust and interest in e-commerce transactions are supportive and significant, but there are two hypotheses that do not support them (H3 and H6). This shows that empirically MSMEs are not necessarily interested in using e-commerce for their business transactions. Conclusion: This study provides insight into the trust and interest in e-commerce transactions among MSME business actors. We suggest that the MSMEs should switch to using e-commerce for their transactions, to develop their businesses into digital ones.","PeriodicalId":31597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90656361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research Methods: This research is conducted using sample of 265 non-financial firms listed on Bursa Malaysia from 2014 to 2018. Finding/Results: Our results show: first, board independence is essential in reducing firm leverage. However, board independence does not affect all firms equally. In particular, board independence has insignificant influences on the financial leverage of young or small firms. In contrast, the financial leverage of old or large firms is negatively associated with board independence. Second, the financial leverage of firms with low profitability is adversely affected by the presence of independent directors. However, the negative impact diminishes as the firms' profitability increases. Conclusion: These results indicate the importance of having independent directors for old, large, or low-profitability firms to reduce their financial leverage. These findings contribute to the stylised facts of the nexus between financial leverage and board independence.","PeriodicalId":31597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84505864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background Problems: Essential characteristics are required to produce quality strategies because they directly affect the performance of SOEs, and Regulation PER-8/MBU/08/2020 of the Minister of SOEs restruc­tures the BOD to increase the proportion of women. Novelty: This research measures SOEs' performance from their financial, adminis­trative, and operational aspects. It comprehensively assesses the dual function of SOEs as public servants and producers of state profits. Research Methods: A total of 245 Indonesian state-owned enterprises were examined between 2014 and 2019 using panel regression with the random effect model. The companies’ performance data were obtained from the Information Management and Documentation Officer (PPID) of the Ministry of SOEs of the Republic of Indonesia (RI). Finding/ Results: The results show that female directors and political connections positively influence the performance of SOEs. According to the robust­ness test, directors with economic and/or business education backgrounds positively influence the financial performance, and the higher the education level is, this negatively influences the performance of SOEs. Conclusion: Essentially, this research supports the plan of the Minister of SOEs to increase the proportion of women on the boards of directors. The findings also prove that political connections strengthen the personal qualities of SOE directors, whether they are female or not.","PeriodicalId":31597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74456888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

S. Nusannas","doi":"10.22146/jieb.v37i3.3377","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22146/jieb.v37i3.3377","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction/Main Objectives: The aim of this study is to test the effect of directive leadership and continuance commitment on innovative work behavior while also explaining the mediating role of continuance commit­ment and the effect of directive leadership on innovative work behavior. Background Problems: Managing innovative employee behavior is an integral component of sustainable organizational development. Innova­tive work behavior (IWB) is very important for improving organizational performance. Many studies have identified the antecedent factors of IWB. Novelty: The novelty of this research is finding a new concept of innova­tive work behavior, through the combination of the mediation construct of continuance commitment, further established under the terms of \"The Improvement Model of Innovative Work Behavior based on Directive Leadership through Integration Strategy by Continuance Commitment.\" Research Methods: This research’s design is hypothesis testing research and the type of research design it uses is survey research (non-experi­men­tal). This study uses the indicators from only one dimension of leadership and one organizational commitment category, so there are some empirical gaps between this and the results of previous studies. The sample in this study was 120 civil servants from PPPPTK TK and PLB Bandung. In assessing the empirical model this study used partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. Finding/ Results: The results of this study show that directive leadership has a positive and significant impact on continuance commitment, and conti­nuance commitment has a positive and significant influence on innova­tive work behavior. The effect of directed leadership on innovative work behavior is fully mediated by the continuance commitment, which is positively associated with innova­tive work behavior, but it is not signi­ficant. The influence of directive leadership on innovative work behavior is more favorable and significant as a result of the continuance commit­ment. Conclusion: This study concludes that directing leadership has an indirect effect on innovative work behavior through the mediating varia­ble of continuance commit­ment, implying that directive leadership might indirectly promote inno­vative behavior through the continuance commit­ment. The assumption is that if a leader is effective at directing staff, there will be an increase in employees’ continuance commitment, and if commitment improves, there will be an increase in innovative work behavior.","PeriodicalId":31597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business","volume":"303 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74386489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Work must be done at home or somewhere outside the office. Although a virtual office is mostly done from one’s home, it can be done anywhere. The aim of this paper is to describe the positive and negative psychological aspects when implementing virtual offices at home for employees and employers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Background Problems: A virtual office has commonly been used during the pandemic condition. Many psychological aspects of a virtual office can affect the employee and his/her family. The impacts can be both positive and negative. Research problem: There are negative impacts, from a psychological aspect, of creating a virtual office at home besides the positive values. Novelty: This paper highlights the psycho­logical aspects when implementing a virtual office at home. People often think that working from home has no challenges at all; it is considered to be more flexible and comfortable. On the other hand, working from home has many aspects that should be considered from the employees’ and employers’ views. Research Methods: This is a narrative literature review. Various types of literature were taken from the Science Direct and Google Scholar databases. Inclusion criteria were research and review articles. Exclusion criteria were un peer-reviewed articles and unavailable full texts. To maintain the quality of the paper, all the articles were read twice. The articles were categorized in a table, summarized, and then narrated. Finding/Results: The positive psychological impacts are flexibility, creativity, and independence. A worker can creatively manage his/her time accordingly, to create a life balance between work and family. The negative psychological impacts are life-work conflicts, burnout, and the autonomy-paradox. Conclusion: The essential keys for a virtual office’s implementation are resilience, creativity, flexibility, and adaptation. The use of a virtual office may continue, due to time and financial efficiencies, despite the COVID-19 pandemic ending.","PeriodicalId":31597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84908855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Role of Profitability, Business Risk, and Intellectual Capital in Increasing Firm Value","authors":"D. Pangestuti, Ali Muktiyanto, I. Geraldina, Darmawan Darmawan","doi":"10.22146/jieb.v37i3.3564","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22146/jieb.v37i3.3564","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction/Main Objectives: This research illustrates the importance of firm value, both to investors and companies. Investors assess that an increase in the value of a company indicates a positive view of the company's performance, which leads to an investment decision. Besides that, an increase in the value of the company can indicate that the company is getting closer to achieving its goal, namely increasing the welfare of its stakeholders. Background Issues: In recent years, there has been a decline in the value of firms in the mining sector due to various factors that have affected it, which has resulted in a decrease in the value of the shares in several of the sub-sectors, especially the coal mining and petroleum sub-sectors. Novelty: This study examines the business risk and intellectual capital that are typical of firms in the mining industry with the generalized moments’ methods. Research Methods: This research is a quantitative study that uses the generalized moments methods, where the robust least square test determines which model is more suitable for use in the research. The variables in this study consist of profitability, intellectual capital, and business risk, with variable controls being the gold price, exchange rate, and petroleum price. This study uses annual financial statements from mining companies that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. These statements include balance sheets and income statements. Finding/Results: These findings reveal that profita­bility, intellectual capital, and business risk affect the value of a company. Macro­economic factors as the variable controls, namely gold prices, exchange rates, and petroleum prices, also affect the value of a company. Therefore, based on the research’s results, management must pay attention to internal factors or company micro factors (profitability, intellectual capital, and business risks) and macroeco­nomic factors (gold prices, exchange rates, and petroleum prices) to increase company value. This is because investors use these factors when making decisions to invest in the mining sector. Conclusion: There are several important factors that, in principle, increase the value of a company. These factors come from internal and external factors (macroeconomics). This article successfully demonstrates the importance of profitability, intellectual capital, and business risk in supporting firm value. The results also showed that the gold price, exchange rate, and the price of oil have an effect on the price of mining stocks, which are used to measure changes in the economy","PeriodicalId":31597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83339205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background Problems: Various studies show that, in general, participants of social dilemma game experiments tend to be intuitive in choosing prosocial behaviour, whereas non-cooperative behavior tends to be slow. Other studies show that experiments which induced the non-anonymity of participants promote prosocial behavior, however, these studies did not impose non-anonymity on the participants. Novelty: This study aims to fill the literature gap on whether introducing non-anonymity of participants in a social dilemma game experiment may affect the intuitiveness of prosocial behavior. Research Methods: This study used a laboratory experiment of finitely repeated public-good games with randomly matched players in each stage. The main difference between the control and the treatment groups lay in the anonymity of participants in the interaction, where participants in treatment group are exposed to the photo of their opponent. Finding/Results: The results show that relaxing the anonymity setting improved the participants’ contributions to the public-good game; however, their prosocial behavior became less intuitive than non-cooperative behavior.

Background Problems: Inequality is one of the fundamental economic problems in Indonesia that has the potential to cause the non-optimal distribution of resources, economic instability, and may even lead to an economic crisis. Novelty: This study provide a new perspective on the differences in findings for the aspects of gender, education, and geographic factors on income inequality Research Methods: This study uses the Theil index for decomposition analysis and quantile regression analysis to analyze each class of income, particularly in the context of income inequality factors. Finding/Results: The findings show that, male workers in the lower class have a greater income than female workers. In addition, workers with an elementary school level experience higher inequality than workers with other levels of education do. Moreover, higher inequality occurs for urban workers in both the upper and lower classes, compared to workers in rural areas. From quantile regression analysis, the results show that, income inequality between men and women is reducing. The number of completed years has less influence compared to that in earlier periods, because more and more people enter education to increase their income. Lastly, urban workers have different incomes from rural workers, though the gap is reducing. It means both urban and rural workers have greater opportunities to earn a better income. Conclusion: Gender plays an important role in income inequality. The length of education has constantly affected income inequality as well. In the context of the area, urban workers normally have higher incomes.","PeriodicalId":31597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Indonesian Economy and Business","volume":"704 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85396663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
