The Moderating Role of Meaning of Work in The Relationship Between GHRM and Organizational Commitment

2026-04-16T02:54:51+00:00

This study aims to examine the influence of Green Human Resources Management (GHRM) and Meaning of Work (MoW) on Organisational Commitment (OC), while also testing the moderating role of MoW in the relationship between GHRM and OC. The research was conducted on employees from various organizational sectors in Semarang, Indonesia, involving 111 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple regression and moderation analysis techniques. The findings reveal that GHRM does not have a direct significant effect on organisational commitment. In contrast, MoW has a significant positive effect on OC and serves as a moderator that strengthens the relationship between GHRM and OC. This indicates that the effectiveness of green HR practices in enhancing employee commitment largely depends on the employees’ perception of meaningful work. The study provides practical insights for HR practitioners to align environmental strategies with employees’ personal values and sense of purpose. By doing so, organizations can build stronger affective commitment among employees, especially in urban-industrial contexts like Semarang. The study contributes to the development of sustainable HR strategies by emphasizing the psychological factors that influence employees' responses to environmental policies.

Strategic Defense HRM 4.0: An Integrative Framework for Future-Ready Defense Organizations

2026-04-06T19:02:28+00:00

The Fourth Industrial Revolution—artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and hybrid threats—is fundamentally reshaping defense organizations. Traditional hierarchical personnel systems are increasingly inadequate for preparing military forces to operate across physical, digital, and cognitive domains. Despite this challenge, defense Human Resource Management (HRM) scholarship lacks a comprehensive framework integrating technological transformation, human-machine collaboration, and strategic workforce planning. This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines, searching Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE Xplore (2020–2025). From 512 publications, 52 peer-reviewed studies were thematically synthesized with independent double-coding (κ=0.82). Three key insights emerged: (1) predictive analytics in defense contexts improve personnel retention and enable proactive forecasting of critical skill gaps; (2) immersive VR/AR training enhances skill retention and reduces training duration; (3) ethical human-machine teaming requires explainable AI, calibrated trust, and ethical reasoning-focused leadership. These findings are integrated into the Strategic Defense HRM 4.0 Framework, comprising four pillars: data-driven talent management, digital workforce readiness, ethical human-machine teaming, and strategic HRM for organizational readiness. This framework enables defense organizations to transition from reactive personnel administration to proactive strategic workforce management.

Intercultural Dialogue as a Tool for Leadership Development: A Qualitative Single-Case Study of a Multilingual Marketing Team

2026-06-26T02:00:57+00:00

This study explores intercultural dialogue as a strategic approach to leadership development within a bilingual marketing team at PT Danone, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Adopting a qualitative single-case study design, the research investigates how intercultural dialogue is constructed, how cultural identity is negotiated, and how patterns of self-awareness emerge among reflective leaders within a multilingual multinational organization. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analyses involving ten participants from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. The analysis generated three overarching themes: (1) Dialogue as a Bridge of Meaning, demonstrating how cross-cultural communication expands mutual understanding beyond linguistic boundaries; (2) Negotiation of Cultural Identity, revealing how recruitment leaders and team members redefine their roles through empathy and reflective engagement; and (3) Leadership Through Dialogical Growth, illustrating that effective leadership evolves through collective interaction rather than hierarchical structure. The study contributes theoretically by positioning intercultural dialogue as a mechanism of leadership learning, and practically by offering insights for multinational corporations to develop reflective leadership models that are inclusive and adaptive to cultural diversity.

Examining the Effects of Environmental Concern, Attitude, and Perceived Behavioral Control on Generation Z’s Purchase Intention for Recycled Fashion Products

2026-06-09T16:45:44+00:00

The fashion industry significantly contributes to environmental degradation, particularly through textile waste and carbon emissions. Recycled fashion products have emerged as an alternative to promote sustainable consumption. Although Generation Z is recognized for having a high level of environmental concern, the dynamics underlying the formation of purchase intention toward recycled fashion products require deeper understanding. This study aims to examine the effects of environmental concern, attitude, and perceived behavioral control on Generation Z’s purchase intention toward recycled fashion products. This research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 115 Generation Z respondents who are familiar with recycled fashion products. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) 4.0. The findings indicate that environmental concern, attitude, and perceived behavioral control have positive and significant effects on purchase intention. These results reinforce the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behavior in explaining purchase intention within the sustainable fashion context and highlight the importance of psychological factors and perceived behavioral control in shaping Generation Z’s purchasing decisions.

Intercultural Financial Literacy and Cultural Orientation: Predicting Pay Later Behavior Among University Students in West Sumatra

2026-06-26T02:28:35+00:00

The development of the digital economy has given rise to the phenomenon of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), which is popular among students but poses risks of consumptive behavior and unhealthy debt management due to low financial literacy and cultural awareness. This study aims to develop and test the Intercultural Financial Literacy (IFL) model as a new construct that combines financial literacy and cross-cultural awareness in explaining Pay Later usage behavior among students in West Sumatra. Using an explanatory quantitative approach with 300 respondents and Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis, the results show that IFL significantly influences financial attitudes and risk perceptions, which indirectly affect Pay Later behavior, while cultural orientation positively moderates this relationship. The research model explains 61.1% of the variation in digital financial behavior (R²=0.611) with good construct validity and reliability. These findings confirm that cross-cultural financial literacy is an important competency for the younger generation to shape ethical, responsible, and sustainable financial behavior in the pay later economy era.

The The Effect of Capital Structure on Profitability and Stock Returns In Banks Listed on The Indonesia Stock Exchange, 2021-2025

2026-07-06T07:59:34+00:00

This study examines the effect of capital structure on profitability and stock returns among banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021-2025 period. Capital structure is proxied by the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER), profitability is proxied by Return on Equity (ROE), and stock returns are measured using annual stock returns. The study applies an explanatory quantitative approach using balanced panel data from 12 banks over five years, yielding 60 bank-year observations. The model is estimated without control variables in order to remain consistent with the conceptual framework, which positions DER as the independent variable, ROE as the profitability variable, and stock returns as the market-based dependent variable. The estimation results show that DER has a significant negative effect on ROE, DER has a significant negative effect on stock returns, and ROE has a significant positive effect on stock returns. These findings indicate that a bank's capital structure is not only associated with shareholder profitability but also with the market's response to banking stocks.

Career Growth Potential: Examining the Roles of Political Skill, Social Resource Acquisition, and Ingratiation

2026-07-30T01:32:51+00:00

This study examines the effects of political skill on career growth potential through social resource acquisition and the moderating role of ingratiation among civil servants. Drawing on Social Resource Theory, the study proposes that politically skilled employees are better able to acquire valuable social resources, thereby enhancing their career growth potential. A quantitative approach was employed using purposive sampling, involving 137 civil servants from the West Sumatra Provincial Government. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that political skill has a positive and significant effect on both social resource acquisition and career growth potential. Social resource acquisition also positively influences career growth potential. However, ingratiation has no significant direct effect on career growth potential and does not significantly moderate the relationship between social resource acquisition and career growth potential. These findings suggest that interpersonal competence and access to valuable social resources are more important determinants of career growth than ingratiation behavior. This study contributes to the career development literature by extending Social Resource Theory and provides practical implications for public organizations in promoting career advancement through the development of employees' political skills and workplace social resources.

How Environmental, Social, and Governance Reporting Drives Innovation Capability and Firm Value in Indonesia

2026-06-12T05:24:50+00:00

This research extends the resource-based explanation of firm value by analyzing innovation capability as both a key driver of Tobin's Q and as an effect of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures. Using panel data from 82 listed firms on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over a decade (820 observations), we employed fixed-effects regression based on Chow and Hausman tests. The analysis proceeded in two stages: first, examining how the three ESG disclosure pillars influence innovation capability, and second, how innovation capability impacts firm value, controlling for size, age, leverage, and board size. The findings reveal that only social disclosure significantly enhances innovation capability, while environmental and governance disclosures do not show notable effects. Moreover, increased innovation capability leads to a substantial and significant improvement in firm value. While firm size and board size positively affect value, firm age has a negative impact. The evidence points to an asymmetry: whereas social disclosure supports capability-building, innovation capability itself is a strong channel through which market value is realized, and this mechanism in Indonesia relies mainly on the social aspect of ESG, rather than environmental or governance disclosure volume. This work refines the resource-based perspective for developing economies and offers targeted insights for business leaders and policymakers about which ESG areas most effectively foster strategic advantage.

Does Emotional Intelligence Reduce Problematic Social Media Use and Procrastination Through Self-Control Among Generation Z? A Gender-Based Multi-Group Analysis

2026-06-09T16:33:06+00:00

Problematic social media use and procrastination have become major behavioural challenges among Generation Z students. However, previous studies have primarily focused on the direct effects of Emotional Intelligence, while the psychological mechanism underlying these relationships remains insufficiently understood. This study aims to examine the effects of emotional intelligence on problematic social media use and procrastination, investigate the mediating role of self-control, and compare the structural relationships between male and female students using Multi-Group Analysis (MGA). A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using data collected from 226 Generation Z respondents through a structured questionnaire. The proposed model was analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and MGA. The findings indicate that emotional intelligence does not significantly reduce problematic social media use but significantly reduces procrastination behaviour and positively influences self-control. Furthermore, self-control significantly reduces both problematic social media use and procrastination behaviour and mediates the relationships between emotional intelligence and both behavioural outcomes. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that self-control serves as an underlying psychological mechanism linking emotional intelligence with adaptive digital behaviour among Generation Z. The findings provide practical implications for educational institutions to strengthen emotional intelligence and self-control in promoting digital well-being.
