Wages and benefits in the digital sector have historically been low, and employers are often unable to raise wages due to small profit margins. Employee welfare, on the other hand, must be ensured if employees are to remain loyal to the company and contribute more. This can also be generated with compensation. Existing research has demonstrated that low compensation is a significant factor for a high rate of turnover in the digital industry. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate two factors: compensation practices and turnover intention. The impact of perceived organizational support in mediating the relationship between compensation practices and turnover intention is also investigated in this study. The questionnaire was gathered from 106 respondents from digital industry employees. This study used non-probability sampling with the simple random sampling technique. Hypothesis were tested using SPSS and Sobel test. The result shows that compensation has no significant impact on turnover intention. However, the researchers found that perceived organizational support could mediate the impact of compensation on turnover intention. The findings of this study serve as a caution to businesses to address these difficulties to improve their overall performance. Companies should engage more in the employees’ welfare to reduce turnover and to retain them, rather than focusing on compensation alone.

The rapid development and market rivalry eventually posed massive challenges in determining the future development trend of organizations to become market winners. Several types of research were conducted exploring the factors affecting investment in telecommunication companies. One has found significant relevance in financial management, which consists of financing, investment, and dividend decisions in private sector mobile telecom businesses. This study aimed to examine the impact of financial performance on the stock price of telecommunication companies listed on the IDX (Indonesia Stock Exchange) in the period of 2014-2020. The financial fundamentals used are current ratio (liquidity), return on asset (profitability), total asset turnover ratio (activity), and debt to asset ratio (solvency). This research applies qualitative data method. The population in this study is nine telecommunication companies listed on the IDX (Indonesia Stock Exchange) for seven-year period, and the sample selection technique used was purposive sampling. It resulted in 63 samples in total being obtained in this study. Moreover, the data type of this research uses secondary data, which is the annual financial report. The data analysis method in this study is descriptive analysis, classical assumption test, and multiple linear regression analysis processed using e-views 12. This research result is based on the fixed-effect method run since it is more suitable for the model of this research. The result shows that the financial fundamentals variables mutually have a significant impact on the stock performance. Yet, not all variables are significant individually.

Social Media Marketing (SMM), which offers two-way communication between brand and customer, has been widely used for marketing activities as a communication channel. Drawing from the tenets of Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, the present study examined how social media marketing activities (SMMA) affect brand loyalty with brand experience and relationship quality as the mediators for Indonesian cosmetic brand. Empirical evidence was collected from 300 cosmetic users who follow specific Indonesian cosmetic brand on social media and have purchased cosmetic items from that brand. The results of structural equation modelling revealed that SMMA has a beneficial influence on brand experience and relationship quality, brand experience and relationship quality are significant mediators in the relationship between SMMA and brand loyalty, SMMA has no direct influence on brand loyalty, and brand experience significantly influences relationship quality. The findings go beyond the existing literature on Social Media Marketing Activities (SMMA) by providing a holistic model for customer behavior outcome (brand loyalty) in perceiving SMMA through brand experience and relationship quality and confirming the relationship between SMMA and brand experience to relationship quality. This research suggests that managers optimize SMMA and the brand experience dimension to improve relationship quality, significantly promoting brand loyalty for building a long-term relationship.

As the backbone of Indonesia’s economy, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are the vital business to be concerned with. This study aims to determine how entrepreneurship orientation and product innovation affect agro-industry firm performance. This study used a quantitative approach with 157 respondents from MSMEs in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The analysis used structural equation modeling (SEM) with Smart-PLS application. The results showed that entrepreneurial orientation is an important factor that affects firm performance, and product innovation mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance. The article deepens our understanding of the entrepreneurship orientation construct by examining how firm performance is positively impacted and including product innovation as a mediating factor. The results from our sample lend credence to the idea that creating entrepreneurship orientation influences firm performance directly or indirectly through product innovation. This study provides a theoretical and empirical basis on entrepreneurship and innovation in agro-industry.

The impact of the coronavirus pandemic is being felt throughout the entire hospitality ecosystem in Bali, including premium hotels, which have been slowest to recover due to the lack of international tourists. Meanwhile, employee engagement has become one of the most prominent primacies for human resource managers and practitioners due to lockdown. This study investigates the link between employee engagement, role benefit, and innovative behavior of five-star hotel employees in Bali during the outbreak. Data were obtained through an online questionnaire in March 2022. This study examines a sample of 241 whose data was analyzed in structural equation modeling. The results indicate that role benefit directly affected both employee engagement and innovative behavior, while employee engagement had a direct positive effect on innovative behavior. Thus, role benefit positively affected innovative behavior directly and indirectly via employee engagement. These findings can add to the existing literature on how role benefit and employee engagement affect the innovative behavior of five-star hotel employees and provide practical recommendations for policymakers and industry leaders to promote those outcomes in Bali.

Several studies show entrepreneurship contributed significantly to economic growth. The increasing number of entrepreneurs can improve the economic condition in some countries. However, In Indonesia, the number of entrepreneurs compared to other countries in South Asia, such as Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, are still low. Therefore, it is essential to analyze factors that might drive people’s intention to become an entrepreneur. Prior studies had examined entrepreneurial intention from some perspectives. Hence, this study tries to examine factors that might influence entrepreneurial intention, such as role models, self-efficacy, and subjective norms, by modifying the TPB framework model. In addition, this study also examines the variable of subjective norm and self-efficacy as the mediating variable of role model to entrepreneurial intention. This study implements a quantitative approach and collects sample data from university students in Bali. The total number of respondents for the sample data is 150. Moreover, the study results show that role model, subjective norms, and self-efficacy positively significantly influence students’ entrepreneurial intention. The result also shows that the role model is positive and significantly influences subjective norm and self-efficacy. The findings of this research can provide recommendations for government and universities to enhance students’ entrepreneurial intention.
