The first objective of this study is to analyze the effect of external supply chain flexibility (inbound supplier flexibility and outbound logistics flexibility) on product innovation performance. The second objective is to analyze the effect of external supply chain flexibility on product innovation performance with the lead supplier influence and normative integration as moderating variables. There are six hypotheses in this study: 1) the inbound supplier flexibility affects the product innovation performance, 2) the outbound logistics flexibility affects the product innovation performance, 3) the lead supplier influence moderates the relationship between the inbound supplier flexibility and the product innovation performance, 4) the lead supplier influence moderates the relationship between the outbound logistics flexibility and the product innovation performance, 5) the normative integration moderates the relationship between the inbound supplier flexibility and the product innovation performance, and 6) the normative integration moderates the relationship between the outbound logistics flexibility and product innovation performance. The sample of this study is one hundred fashion SMEs in Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study uses census as the sampling method. This study uses primary data obtained by distributing questionnaires to the respondents. The researchers analyzed the data with PLS. The results show that inbound supplier flexibility and outbound logistics flexibility positively affect product innovation performance. The lead supplier influence negatively moderates the effect of inbound supplier flexibility on product innovation performance in fashion. The lead supplier influence does not moderate the effect of outbound logistics flexibility on product innovation performance. Normative integration does not moderate the relationship among the variables of the study.

Rapid growth in online advertising revenues indicates that World Wide Web advertising is viable as an alternative to traditional media. In this new environment, academics and practitioners acknowledge the importance of establishing credibility and providing informative information in commercials. The current study analyzes the effectiveness of banner advertising and examines the impacts of (1) advertiser credibility and (2) informative advertisement on consumer attitudes toward advertisements and brands advertised on the online newspaper website detik.com. A survey of 104 respondents aged 16-35 was conducted using self-administered structured questionnaires. Structural equation modeling was then used to test and refine a model representing correlated relationships among the variables. The findings implied that advertiser credibility and the substance of informative advertising influenced attitudes toward advertising, whereas attitudes toward brands were affected by all variables investigated. For business practitioners, this study suggested that to improve customer attitudes toward advertisements and brands advertised; advertisers should assess the credibility and information delivered in advertisements.

The e-commerce industry significantly expanded during a negative economic recession. This is because, during the COVID-19 epidemic, many countries enacted social limitations that caused various economic activities to diminish in many sectors and resulted in layoffs in various businesses because there was no production activity. Through consumer attributes such as impulsive buying tendencies, shopping enjoyment preferences, moods, and personal situations, this study aims to understand the factors contributing to impulsive buying. The SEM statistical method and PLS software were used to test the research model empirically. Sampling with a purpose was chosen. Two hundred legitimate respondents were used as samples to test the assumptions. First, the study found that impulsive buying patterns, moods, and situations all positively influence impulsive purchases. Second, other elements, such spending patterns, are not significant. This demonstrates that customers can enjoy looking up information about the desired goods, but it hasn't yet led customers to make impulsive purchases at online shops.

In today’s technology and digital era, the main problem that can impact the life sector is the aspect of Human Resources with the expertise and competence of an employee. Organizational goals will be achieved, however, with advances in information technology, activities carried out by humans can be completed efficiently and effectively to obtain optimal results. This study aims to determine employees' service performance by linking several variables including digital competence, work-life balance, work stress, and emotional intelligence. This study used the PLS (Partial Least Square) analysis tool and the number of samples was 190 respondents. The study results show that digital competence has no effect on service performance but positively impacts work-life balance and stress. Moreover, emotional intelligence does not moderate the relationship between digital competence and work life balance on service performance but moderates the relationship between work stress and service performance. This research was conducted to determine the performance of employee services and the employees of PT. X were the object of analysis.

Commercial banks accept deposits and lend money for investment and consumption. This study used five (5) first-tier banks in Nigeria as a case study to analyze the effects of credit risk management on the financial performance of commercial banks. The study examined fifteen (15) years' worth of panel data (from 2005 to 2019), taken from the audited financial reports of five first-tier listed banks. Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) are the only banks used, and they are all listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Non-performing loans (NPL) and expected credit loss impairment provisions (ECL) were utilized in this study as indicators of credit risk management. At the same time, return on assets (ROA) was employed to measure financial performance.

This study aims to define the effect of transformational leadership on knowledge sharing; this study also seeks to analyze the mediating role of self-efficacy and trust in leaders in the connection between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing. This quantitative study used a questionnaire with a simple random sampling technique to collect data. Questionnaire measurement uses a Likert scale from 1 – 5, distributed with the help of jakpat.net as a media survey. Respondents in this study were staff-level hotel employees throughout Indonesia, with a total of 143 respondents. Data were analyzed and processed by the PLS-SEM method and path analysis. The bootstrapping method is used to test the hypothesis. This study indicates that transformational leadership has a positive and significant impact on knowledge sharing, transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on self-efficacy, and transformational leadership has a positive and significant impact on trust in leaders. Then self-efficacy and faith in a leader positively and significantly impact knowledge sharing. It has also been confirmed that there is a mediating role of self-efficacy and trust in the leader in the indirect relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing.

This study aims to produce problem-based accounting introductory practicum modules. This study uses research and development (R&D) methods based on the Bord and Gall concept. The population of this study was all students of the introductory accounting practicum course in the accounting education study program in 2022. The sample was determined by random sampling, and the sample class was used for application and limited testing of small and large samples, namely classes A, B and C, semester 1. Based on the research results, the introductory accounting practicum module created and validated by three expert validators resulted in a decision that the teaching material had a very high feasibility level (87.08%) with a note that it needed to be revised. After correcting all revision notes, a small group trial was carried out on 10 class A students. Based on the results of the small group trial, it was found that there was a significant increase in learning outcomes before and after using the introductory accounting practicum module. Then a large group trial was carried out, with class B as the control class and class C as the experimental class. The result is a significant difference in learning outcomes using the introductory accounting practicum module, which is significantly higher than the control class. Then from the practicality test results, all factors of convenience for the user, usability, and time effectiveness have a percentage value of 81.39%. The finding concludes that the developed book meets the readability and practicality criteria.

This paper examines CSR approaches and practices of local firms in Ethiopia, where the state is still a key player in business life. Moreover, it assesses at which stage Ethiopian CSR is. This mixed-method study includes quantitative analysis through SPSS and qualitative content analysis. A revised CSR practices scale has been conducted on owners/managers and employees of 100 local companies in Ethiopia. Besides, the companies' official websites have been thoroughly reviewed using five variables to understand their CSR approaches and practices better. The findings reveal that Ethiopian companies practice CSR though it is at the stage of fragmented CSR and the priorities differ from the global trend. Most respondent companies generally have excellent legal practices and CSR practices toward employees and customers. However, philanthropy, social sustainability, and management of CSR are remarkably at a mediocre level. Content analysis shows similarity with the results of quantitative study, to the exclusion of philanthropy. Notably, the hierarchy derived from our research varies also with Visser's CSR model.
