This study examines the impact of loneliness-related online learning on students during emergency remote teaching. Specifically, this study aims to: (1) evaluate the consistency between times of loneliness, burnout, and social self-efficacy, (2) examine the differences in the three measurements based on gender, and (3) examine the detrimental effects of loneliness on burnout and social self-efficacy of students at two Islamic state universities. Using a short-term longitudinal study design involving 237 students from two state Islamic universities. Data were analyzed using descriptive, comparative, correlation, and regression to test the proposed model. The results showed that loneliness and burnout at one point in time could consistently predict loneliness and burnout in the future. The comparative test results found differences in loneliness, burnout, and social self-efficacy based on gender, giving mixed results: significant differences were only found in loneliness (T2) and burnout (T2). Finally, there was no significant difference in social self-efficacy between male and female students at the two-time points.

Covid-19 has brought a number of changes and impacts on banking system in Nigeria and Indonesia. Although Islamic Banking is not being operated to its optimal in the country, the Pandemic has had significant effect on both the general banking operations and the Islamic Banking sub-sector. The public, customers, have devised other means of financial dealings, hours spent on banking and rate of operations affected, the rate at which customers frequently move into banks reduced, more mobile banking users, and increased usage of a wide variety of banking services. This also resulted in more internet and mobile banking demands by customers, but less physical presence of customers at banking halls.

This study aims to explore the gender differences in the relationships between leader-member exchange (LMX), job embeddedness, and turnover intention. Hypotheses formulation was conducted by integrating conservation of resources (COR) theory and social role theory, and data were collected from 462 respondents who were employed in various sectors in Indonesia. Data analyses included confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate the measurement model, followed by mediation-moderation analysis by using the PROCESS macro. As hypothesized, LMX showed a positive impact on job embeddedness and a negative impact on turnover intention. Job embeddedness was negatively associated with turnover intention, partially mediating the relationship between LMX quality and turnover intention. This study showed that gender moderated the relationships between LMX, job embeddedness, and turnover intention; this was particularly evident in the female participants. This study contributes to the literature on the significance of LMX quality and job embeddedness by exploring gender-specific roles, thus strengthening the existing knowledge base.

This study attempts to uncover the influence of Islamic work ethic (IWE) on employee voice, which has never been explored before. The model was developed by placing IWE as an antecedent of voice behavior, and affective commitment was tested as a mediator. Data were collected using a purposive sample of 100 respondents, and PLS-SEM analyzed the data. The analysis results show that IWE positively and significantly impacts affective commitment and employee voice behavior. Affective commitment is positively related to voice behavior and may mediate the relationship between IWE and voice behavior. The results of this study are preliminary, so further research is needed to retest the resulting model.

PurposeThis study aimed to examine the relationship between leader humility, civility climate and employee voice and uncover the moderating effect of competitive climate on the relationship between leader humility, civility climate and employee voice.Design/methodology/approachThree hundred seventy-nine respondents from various sectors in Indonesia participated in this study. All hypotheses were examined using hierarchical multiple regression analysis using the Hayes' macro PROCESS.FindingsLeader humility positively and significantly impacts civility climate and employee voice. Competitive climate was confirmed as a moderator in the relationship between leader humility and civility climate and employee voice. The effect of team humility and civility climate on employee voice was strongest in a highly competitive climate.Practical implicationsBy encouraging the adoption of leader humility, organizations can develop a civility climate and promote employee voice in the workplace. Leader humility is congruent with leadership practices in Asian countries, which are more strongly influenced by the virtues of certain religions. Leaders should demonstrate humble behaviors to generate a civility climate and employee voice. Authoritarian leadership and the high power distance inherent in Asian countries pose a challenge to the prioritization of humble behavior.Originality/valueThis study adds to the extant literature by revealing that leader humility fosters a civility climate and civility climate has positive consequences on employee voice; it is the first study to examine these relationships. Drawing on the social exchange theory, new insights explain the psychological mechanism underlying the relationship between leader humility, civility climate and employee voice while proposing a competitive climate as the boundary condition.

The present study attempts to examine the effect of the God locus of control on ethical perceptions of accounting students and then further explore the psychological mechanism underlying this effect. We established a mediation and moderation model based on social cognitive theory and locus of control theory in which moral disengagement as mediator and love of money as moderator on the God locus of control and ethical perceptions. This study involved 324 participants through a series of online questionnaires. The moderated mediation analysis using Hayes's Macro Process demonstrated that the God locus control was negatively associated with moral disengagement and positively related to ethical perception. Moral disengagement is negatively associated with ethical perception and partially mediates the relationship between the God locus of control and ethical perception. As expected, the love of money plays an essential role as a boundary condition in the relationship between the God locus of control and ethical perceptions, but not for moral disengagement and ethical perceptions relationship. This study is the first empirical evidence to explore the role of the God locus of control on moral disengagement and ethical perceptions.

PurposeIntegrating the conservation of resources theory, Hofstede's national culture theory and the cognitive-motivational-relational theory of emotions, the authors propose that power distance (as a moderator) and emotional exhaustion (as a mediator) play a role in the relationship between workplace incivility, emotional exhaustion and job embeddedness.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected in two stages using an online survey of 404 employees from three sectors, including hospitality, banking and manufacturing, in Indonesia. The authors tested a moderated mediation model using Hayes' macro PROCESS version 3.5.FindingsWorkplace incivility contributes to emotional exhaustion, which predicts job embeddedness. Emotional exhaustion also contributes to job embeddedness. In the moderation model, the authors found that the effect of workplace incivility on emotional exhaustion was more substantial for employees with high perceived power distance. Furthermore, power distance also played a moderating role in the relationship between emotional exhaustion and job embeddedness.Practical implicationsSince workplace incivility and job embeddedness differ across cultures, the results of this study contain practical management implications for Indonesian settings, especially the hospitality, manufacturing and banking sectors. The authors provide practical management implications for redesigning organizational culture to help employees avoid uncivil interactions in the workplace. The authors also provide implications concerning strategic managerial directions to improve communication and supervisors' skills at all levels of management.Originality/valueThis study is the first to introduce power distance as a complementary explanation for the relationship between workplace incivility, emotional exhaustion and job embeddedness while focusing on an Asian developing country.

This study examined the mediation and moderation models of the relationship between Islamic work ethics (IWE), thriving at work, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and leader humility. A total of 418 employees from two different sample groups (Islamic banks and educational institutions) in Indonesia were included. A multiple regression hierarchy with PROCESS was used to test the hypotheses. We found a positive influence of IWE and leader humility on thriving and OCB and thriving at work on OCB. Thriving was found to mediate the relationship between IWE and OCB, and the leader humility moderates these relationships. Thriving at work and OCB are dramatically under-represented in Islamic work ethics research, and this study attempts to fill this void. Furthermore, this study reveals the interactive role of leader humility and IWE in enhancing OCB preference and the mediating role of thriving at work in the IWE − OCB relationship.

PurposeThis study aims to examine the relationship between Islamic work ethics (IWE), job embeddedness and knowledge-sharing behaviors. It also tested the mediating effects of job embeddedness and the moderating effects of organizational identification on this relationship.Design/methodology/approachA total of 396 respondents from Islamic banks in Indonesia participated in this study. Data analyzes for hypothesis testing were conducted using Hayes’ PROCESS macro-based hierarchical regression.FindingsThe findings suggest that subscribing to IWEs positively and significantly impacts job embeddedness and knowledge-sharing behaviors. Moreover, job embeddedness was confirmed as a mediator in the relationship between IWEs and knowledge-sharing behavior. Finally, the effects of IWEs on knowledge-sharing behaviors are stronger when employees attain a high level of organizational identification.Practical implicationsBy encouraging the adoption of IWEs, organizations can develop job embeddedness and promote knowledge-sharing in the workplace, especially in an Islamic banking context. Therefore, managers should strengthen the mutual understanding among employees regarding IWE principles. They should be consistently applied and disseminated by Islamic banks’ management in the form of a formal code of ethics that applies to all actions within the organization.Originality/valueThis study was conducted to extend the understanding of IWE and its relationship with workplace outcomes in modern organizations. Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, social identity theory and Islamic theology, new insights are provided by explaining the psychological mechanism underlying the relationship between IWEs and knowledge-sharing behaviors while proposing organizational identification as the boundary condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised many problems in the education sector, one of which is the increasing trend toward student loneliness owing to a lack of interpersonal connections in online learning activities. The present study explicitly aims to examine the relationship between loneliness and academic achievement for university students in Indonesia. Moreover, we propose moderating God’s locus of control (i.e., God’s control over behavior-related learning) (GLC) and learning student engagement, playing mediating roles in these relationships. The data were collected from 324 respondents among university students in Indonesia during emergency remote teaching. The moderated-mediated regression analysis using Hayes’ PROCESS macro found loneliness negatively related to engagement and academic achievement. Student engagement had a positive relationship with academic achievement and served as a mediator between loneliness and academic achievement. Furthermore, GLC was found to moderate the relationship between loneliness and learning engagement as well as loneliness and academic achievement. This study’s findings uncover GLC’s role as a boundary condition, and confirms that learning-engagement intermediates the relationship between loneliness and academic achievement. Students with high perceived God control tend to anticipate the impact of loneliness on learning behavior amid isolation and loneliness because of the pandemic.

The final goal to be achieved: A microcontroller-based object detection glasses that can be used by the visually impaired, as a tool to detect objects in front of them when walking. This research uses the action research method (Action Research) is an effort to try out ideas into practice to improve or change something in order to have a real impact. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that: (1) In this study, we produce a tool for the visually impaired with an ultrasonic sensor in the form of glasses that use Arduino Pro Mini as a microcontroller and have the ability to detect an object in front of it to make it easier for blind people to walk. (2) These sensory glasses are able to provide a sound warning to the user when they find an object in front of them at a distance of less than 100 cm.

This study examined the reliability and validity of a measure of classroom incivility within an Indonesian context. Data were collected from 334 participants through two stages of online questionnaire distribution. The measurement quality was evaluated through seven stages of partial least squares confirmatory composite analysis (PLS-CCA). Our findings confirm the multidimensionality of classroom incivility (class disruption, disrespectful communication, integrity violation, and use of the cell phone). In addition, all sub-scales of classroom incivility were negatively related to civility and prosocial behavior, and no significant difference was found between male and female students. Higher education institutions in Indonesia can use this instrument as a supplementary tool to evaluate the level of classroom incivility. We also discuss its practical implications in educational settings in general and offer suggestions for future research on classroom incivility in non-Western countries.

This preliminary study aims to identify an item list of uncivil behaviors in the Indonesian educational environment. The study comprises three phases: first, a panel of experts assessed each item to ensure their content validity for items pool. The second phase used a cross-sectional design and convenience sampling to recruit 524 students and faculty members in seven provinces in Indonesia using an online survey. The third phase involved ten students from the second phase and several faculty representatives were randomly selected to complete the open-ended questionnaire. Principal component analysis (PCA) identified four factors, including disregard for instructors/annoyances, disrespect for others (verbal and non-verbal), misconduct and integrity violation, and use of cell phones. Furthermore, the results indicate that "getting up during a class,leaving and returning,” “arriving late and/or leaving early," “not paying attention in the class,” “texting,” “packing books before the class is dismissed,” “cheating during an exam,” and “sleeping during the class” were the top seven highest recurring behaviors. This study provides tentative support for a preliminary scale in identifying uncivil behavior among college populations in Indonesia.

This study aims to provide empirical evidence regarding the effect of deferred tax liabilitie and corporate leverage on earnings management. The object of research is companies included in the LQ45 index listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2014-2018. Hypothesis testing uses panel data regression with the help of the EVIEWS program. The test results show that the deferred tax liabilities have no significant effect on earnings management, while leverage is proven to significantly affect earnings management. The practical implications and suggestions outlined in the article.

PurposeDrawing on the approach—inhibition theory of power and the containment theory of control—we propose a relationship model of leader humility, sense of power, and interpersonal deviance, by placing bureaucratic culture as a boundary condition.Design/Methodology/ApproachUsing a moderated mediation model, this study applies hierarchical regression and bootstrapping analyses to data obtained from online questionnaire responses of 428 employees from various sectors in Indonesia.FindingsThe results reveal a positive relationship between leader humility and employees perceptions of the sense of power, as well as between the sense of power to interpersonal deviance. In addition, we confirmed the mediating role of the sense of power on the relationship between leader humility and interpersonal deviant. Bureaucratic culture has been confirmed to moderate the relationship between a sense of power and interpersonal deviance.Practical ImplicationsCompanies can provide leadership training to leaders to convey to them when and where to demonstrate humility. Furthermore, the effectiveness of leaders' humility can be increased and their sense of power and interpersonal deviance reduced if the company adopts a low-level bureaucratic culture.Originality/ValueThe current study contributes to the extant literature by revealing the moderating effects of bureaucratic culture on the relationship between the sense of power and interpersonal deviance, clarifying how, and when employees' sense of power stimulates interpersonal deviance in the Asian context.

In response to an empirical study on scarcity cues in COVID-19, the present study offers a model of the relationship between scarcity cues and revisit intention by integrating perceived value and sensory brand experiences (SBE). The moderation mediation model (MOD MED) was tested using 426 respondents who were university students in Jakarta. The results of the analysis show that scarcity cues have a negative impact on perceived value and revisit intention. The process model has been confirmed through the role of perceived value in the scarcity cues relationship. SBE in this study has an essential role as a bearing for the negative effect of scarcity cues on perceived value and revisit intention. Hence, this study offers a theoretical contribution to the proposed model and a practical one regarding the effectiveness of "scarcity cues" marketing strategies.

The global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged educational institutions worldwide to rapidly shift to an online mode of teaching. In this paper, we discuss the concept of emergency remote teaching (ERT), including its implementation and evaluation, in the context of higher education in Indonesia. The Context, Input, Process, and Product framework was used to evaluate the implementation of ERT based on the experiences of 45 faculty members and 82 students from seven universities and colleges in three provinces in Indonesia. This study revealed several points of view. First, the shift to the ERT process depends on various aspects: internal organizational resources (curriculum, staff development, and technology), and external challenges (lack of access to a fast, affordable, and reliable Internet connection and the socioeconomic problems of the participants). Second, the ERT learning design needs to be framed using three principles: simplicity, flexibility, and empathy. The schools/administrators understand that this is not a normal situation in which learning competency standards must be rigorously met. In a crisis, given the facts that show disparities in technology and Internet networks, curriculum fulfillment is not the sole issue; it is also important to care for and support learners during this difficult time. This study provides recommendations that will serve as input for future strategies and educational policies in Indonesia, and developing countries in general. Additionally, this study can also be used as a benchmark for evaluating learning in similar situations in other countries.

Humility is a leadership model inherent in Asian culture and is believed to impact employees' productive behavior and attitudes positively. By examining how leader humility affects the workplace's civility climate and innovative work behavior (IWB), the current study seeks to address the scarcity of studies on these relationships. We also posited that the perceived civility climate mediated the relationship between leader humility and IWB and examined the role of job insecurity as a boundary condition. PLS-SEM was applied to test hypotheses from data on 328 employees in various sectors in Jakarta. The analysis results indicate humility could promote perceived civility and innovative work behavior. In addition, we discovered that civility climate acted as a mediator in leader humility and IWB relationship. Moreover, we empirically reveal unique findings regarding the role of job insecurity as a moderator in the leader-humility-IWB and civility climate-IWB relationship. The present study is the first attempt to explore the role of intermediate civility climate in the relationship between leader humility and IWB. Moreover, we add job insecurity as a boundary condition to provide new insights into explaining IWB

Purpose- This study aims to examine the effect of macroeconomics on non-performing financing (NPF) of Islamic banking in Indonesia. Methods- Data were collected from 14 Sharia Commercial Banks (BUS) in the period 2014 - 2018, and analysis techniques used hierarchical linear regression. Findings- This study shows that macroeconomic does not have a significant effect on the NPF of Islamic banking. Research implications- this study can be used as a basis for subsequent research and preliminary information for Islamic banking management to manage NPF. The main contribution of this research is as an empirical reference regarding the debate about the power of Islamic banking in dealing with external conditions, especially macroeconomic, especially in Indonesia.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of role stress (role overload, role ambiguity, and role conflict) on the frontline employees' performance. The study employs a direct survey through a self-administered questionnaire handed out to 132 employees in the restaurant business in Jakarta, Indonesia. Hierarchical Regression Analysis is used to test the hypotheses. The finding of the study shows that the role conflict and role ambiguity affects negatively to the performance, while role overload has a positive effect. The locus of control moderation role is supported in the role of role overload and role ambiguity, but not in the role conflict - performance relationship. The implication for managers is that efforts need to be made to reduce role conflict and role ambiguity because it has negative implications on employee performance. While the excess of roles perceived by employees is maintained at a moderate level to maintain employee performance.

This study investigated the impact of loneliness on academic self-efficacy (ASE) and student engagement in the context of remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, as a boundary condition, we examined the role of intermediate ASE in the relationship between loneliness, student engagement, and perceived humor in learning. A total of 367 undergraduate students from six universities in Indonesia completed an online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Macro Process version 4 to test the moderating mediation model hypothesis. As expected, the study results show that loneliness is negatively related to ASE and student engagement. ASE is proven to affect student engagement positively; concurrently, it plays an intermediate role in the link between loneliness and student engagement. Finally, humor had a significant moderating effect on learning in the tested model. This study contributes to the existing literature on loneliness and student engagement by uncovering the intermediate role of ASE. Drawing on the social cognitive theory (SCT) and instructional humor processing theory (IHTP), we explored how perceived humor in learning moderates the relationships between loneliness, ASE, and student engagement.

Considering the challenges of sustainable education in emergency remote teaching (ERT) during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, this study provides basic principles for future ERT implementation based on the experience of higher education in Indonesia. Seven local expert distance educators reviewed the ERT principles, participating in the early stages to check the relevance, content validity, and readability of the five principles proposed in the context of Indonesian education. After an extensive expert review, the ERT principles were evaluated using quantitative data through an online survey (82 students and 45 faculty members). In addition, open-ended questionnaire responses, experiences, and challenges encountered by 21 respondents (College Dean, Associate Dean of Academics, and faculty quality assurance of seven universities/colleges in three provinces in Indonesia) in ERT were used and analyzed. This study suggests that ERT should be designed based on the principles of simplicity, accessibility, affordability, flexibility, and empathy in all learning activities in unfavorable situations. This study complements previous work and can thus be used for generalized principles for teaching activities in similar emergencies, especially in developing countries.

This study aims to examine the relationship between workplace and classroom incivility to learning engagement and the moderating role of internal locus of control in these relationships. An online questionnaire was administered to 432 students from three private universities in Jakarta, Indonesia. The regression analysis results showed that both workplace and classroom incivility has a negative and significant effect on learning engagement. In addition, the direct effect of workplace incivility on learning engagement is moderated by the locus of control. The negative effect of workplace incivility on learning engagement is stronger for students with low levels of internal locus of control than for those students with high levels of internal locus of control. This study provides a better understanding of the internal mechanism condition to reduce the negative effects of incivility experiences that occur in the workplace and classroom among student employees. The implications and limitations are also discussed.

This study aims to examine the relationship of perceptions of organizational support (POS), job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in the government sector. The survey approach was carried out to obtain data through questionnaires. A total of 60 employees were used as research samples. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is used to test hypotheses. The results showed that: there was a positive relationship between POS and job satisfaction and OCB, job satisfaction was significantly correlated with OCB. In addition, job satisfaction has proven to play a role as a mediator for POS relations with OCB. This research contributes to efforts to increase OCB in the government sector

The purpose of this paper is to present a review of the empirical research of the Islamic work ethic (IWE) and its influence on business and management practices. This review summarizes the research on IWE from 2010 to 2017. Fifteen articles were selected during this period, resulting in two areas findings. First, the role of IWE on mainly HRM practices and work and individual related outcomes such as commitment, satisfaction, perceived justice, OCB, and turnover intention. In relation to the organizational context, IWE found to be positively related to innovation, and organizational performance. This paper can provide practitioners and academics with a better understanding of the concept of IWE, and its impact on individuals and organizations Keywords: Islamic work ethics, IWE

This study examines the relationship between brand image, perceived quality, and price on the purchase intention of brand X perfume. In particular, the role of quality and price is placed as a mediator on the relationship between brand image and purchase intention. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires with the convenience sampling method. A total of 117 customers from three supermarkets in Jakarta were used as respondents. Data analysis used PLS-SEM to test the proposed hypothesis. Empirical results show that brand image significantly and positively affects perceptions of quality and price. Brand image, quality, and price are three factors that directly affect purchase intention. Testing the mediation model shows that price is proven to be a mediator of the relationship between brand image and purchase intention, while perceived quality is not significant. This research is limited to the buying behavior of perfume products so that future research can expand the analysis on different products.

This article aims to develop a short form of the locus of control scale. The study was conducted in two stages: a study of 66 respondents as pilot testing which aims to test content validity, structure validity, and internal consistency. Study 2 was conducted on 328 respondents used to test the validity and reliability of the scale evaluated by the PLS-SEM method (such as internal consistency, convergent validity, and discriminant validity). The analysis concludes that the 8-item locus of control scales tested have adequate validity and reliability. A short form locus of control scale was developed and validated in this study, so it can be used in future research and evaluation for HR management practitioners in employee selection Keywords: locus of control, EFA, CFA, scale construction

This paper aims to identify the content validity techniques in the early stages of developing the questionnaire. Using the literature study, it can be concluded: first, there is no standard technique for accessing the content validity. The researchers can use a qualitative, quantitative, or mix methods. Second, the common qualitative techniques used are through in-depth interviews or FGDs with experts (logical validity) or users (face validity). Third, the common statistical techniques used in testing content validity in the last ten years is the content validity index (CVI) based on the expert agreement level on the item (i-CVI) or S-CVI on the questionnaire as a whole. Other statistical techniques such as Kappa coefficients, ANOVA, and correlation are also commonly used in the initial testing process of the questionnaire. Simulation and case study are discussed in the article. Keywords: content validity, CVI, scale development

The purpose of this paper is to compare the relationship between workplace incivility, self-efficacy, and employees' turnover intentions based on gender in Indonesian work settings. The mediating roles of self-efficacy on the relationships between workplace incivility and turnover intention were also investigated. Data were collected randomly from 300 employees at various companies in Jakarta via the self-assessment questionnaires and, thereafter, partial least square multi-group analysis (PLS-MGA) was performed to analyze the data. According to result, workplace incivility had significant negative effects on self-efficacy, and a positive effect on turnover intention. Self-efficacy had significant positive effects on turnover intention, and confirmed the mediating role of self-efficacy between workplace incivility-turnover intention relationship. Coefficient analysis shows the strength of the relationship between variables varied by gender. Implications for organizations are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to examine workplace incivility in work engagement and employee turnover intention in the work place in Indonesia. In addition, this study also examines the differences in intensity of these relationships by gender.In total, 644 employees from various business industries in Indonesia completed a quantitative survey relating to their perceptions of workplace incivility, work engagement, and turnover intention. Data were analyzed with partial least square multi-group analysis technique (PLS-MGA).The results show that workplace incivility has a negative effect on work engagement, and a positive effect on turnover intention, and the intensity of these relationships differby gender. Work engagement has been shown to have a negative effect on turnover intentions and to play a mediating role in workplace incivility and turnover intention relationship.Relevant recommendations are presented to HR managers and practitioners to prevent unethical practices in organizations and encourage communication and interaction by promoting civil behavior in the workplace.

The aim of this paper is to examine relationships among organizational learning, imitating capability, innovation and competitiveness advantage in the small and medium enterprise (SME). Furthermore, the paper also examines the mediation effect of innovation in the relationship between organizational learning and imitating capability to competitiveness advantage. Using empirical data drawn from 200 SMEs managers in Indonesia, the data were analyzed using partial least squares variance-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicate that that organizational learning and imitating capability were an important determinant of organizational innovation and competitive advantage. Innovation had a positive relationship with competitiveness and has a mediating role in the relationship between organizational learning and imitating capability to competitiveness advantage. The implication of this study is that SMEs can increase their competitiveness through learning and imitating strategies that are applied simultaneously. This research is original in that it deliberately focuses on learning and imitating capability in low-technology SMEs, especially in the Indonesian context. Through learning, imitating capability, and innovation, SMEs in Indonesia can maintain a competitive position in the ASEAN free market.

This paper presents the progress made on the previous work of designing and realizing a low-cost frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system. While maintaining the modularity, flexibility, and general architecture of the previous system, some modifications are made mostly in the baseband section of the radar. An indoor ranging experiment is done to show the performance of the modified system. The radar is tuned to operate from 2.308–2.675 GHz to maintain the frequency linearity of the generated chirp. It is shown that the system is capable to detect object up to 25 m with range resolution around 0.4 m.

Obtaining a high range resolution is an important issue in a detection and ranging system, such as in a radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) or sodar (Sonic Detection and Ranging). A frequency-domain system, such as the SFCW (Stepped-Frequency Continuous-Wave), capable to offer a high range-resolution due to its capability of wide-band scanning, as showed in the SFCW-GPR system. Despite its simplicity, the SFCW system has a drawback in the acquisition time. In order to improve the speed, a recent signal processing technique called compressive sampling (CS) is employed. A series of simulation, experiment, and measurement processes have been done to determine the range resolution produced by the system. From the results, we realize that the reduction of the number of frequency samples does not degrade the range resolution, however it increase the noise/clutter level in the range profile produced by the reconstruction process; less number of samples imply higher noise level in the range profile. Using off-the shelf components, we built the CS-SFCW sodar prototype, with range resolution of about 2 cm.
