Data were collected using a questionnaire developed regarding prior related works. It was administered to a sample consisted of 122 employees selected from four fast-food restaurants in Jordan. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modelling via Smart-PLS3; the results revealed that the quality of life had significant direct effects on both employee happiness and employee intention to quit. The first effect was positive, while the second was negative. Employee happiness had a significant impact on employee intention to quit. Consequently, the results indicated that employee happiness played a significant mediating role in the effect of the quality of work-life on employee intention to quit. It was concluded that the quality of work-life is not enough to reduce employee intention to quit, which means that organization should pay great attention to employee happiness to ensure the positive effect of the quality of life and to reduce employee intention to quit.

This research investigates the effect of business continuity management and technology acceptance models towards performance of lecturers moderated by servant leadership. The research respondents were 86 Halmahera University lecturers. The research method used was quantitative method by examining the effect of moderation and the direct effect by the method of interaction. The model was tested with structural equation modeling approach by using Smart PLS software. The results proved that servant leadership was able to influence lecturer performance. Servant leadership could also moderate the effect of business continuity management towards lecturer performance. However, business continuity management and technology acceptance models did not affect lecturer performance independently. Servant leadership also failed to moderate the effect of the technology acceptance model towards lecturer performance. This study recommends that servant leadership be applied at all levels of leadership because of the very important role in triggering lecturer performance. The application of servant leadership can also be combined with business continuity management since the interaction between of the two can improve lecturer performance.

Palm oil commodity in Indonesia is the cash crop for smallholder farmers especially in the dry land area. This smallholder has contributed to produce Crude Palm Oil (CPO) about more than 40 percent in the supply chain. This study is aimed to identify downstream and upstream in the line of CPO palm oil. Secondly, is to know the role of the actors in the CPO supply chain and its traceability. This study employed the traceability method of networking of CPO supply chain in Southeast Sulawesi. Indonesia. Two research sites were conducted as the implementation of survey, observation, interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The respondents have chosen from the downstream to upstream of the CPO supply chain. Independent farmers, middlemen, delivery order, and Fruit Fresh Bunches (FFB) mills to produce CPO have been interviewed as the key informant of this research. Traceability study shows that the main source of FFB came from the core of PT. Damai Jaya Lestari both in the research site, plasma, and independent farmer. In North Konawe, the downstream line that farmers sell the FFB to the middlemen then they bring to the agency who has the delivery order from the CPO mills. Meanwhile, in Kolaka District, Independent farmers sold the FFB to the agency who has the contract with the PT. Damai Jaya Lestari in Plasma Village, Poliggona Sub District. In terms of the green economy, waste such empty bunches were limited access for farmers who wanted to proceed with the waste for organic fertilizer and feeding cows. The role and the traceability study show that independent farmers have no access to utilize the waste of empty bunches, no protection from the Damai Jaya Lestari as the CPO mills, and have no institutional farmers as the farmers group.

This study was designed to identify and analyze the effect of perceived value, differentiation, and emotional branding on customer satisfaction and trust; non-recursive influence between customer satisfaction and customer trust of the vivo smartphone in Medan. Respondents consist of adults who use vivo smartphones domiciled in Medan. The analysis technique uses a structural equation model with the robust maximum likelihood method. Data processing is assisted by Lisrel software and the results indicate in case the direct effect coefficient of the same latent variable is positive in the non-recursive and recursive models, the coefficient will be higher in the recursive model. Therefore, it is important for vivo smartphone management to verify first, whether the relationship between customer satisfaction and trust is reciprocal. In case it is one way, where satisfaction affects customer trust, then the strategy or program of increasing perceived value and differentiation directly at customer satisfaction is more optimal. Furthermore, it will have an impact on customer trust since the satisfaction mediating effect is higher than the customer trust mediating effect in the recursive model. The program of increasing consumer trust with emotional branding through customer satisfaction is good, since the mediation of satisfaction is significant in both non-recursive and recursive contexts.

This study examines the effect of tax disputes on firm value with industry profiles as a moderator. The population of this study is non-financial companies that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and disclosed tax disputes during the 2014-2019 period. The purposive sampling technique was applied, and 292 observations were obtained. A mixed-method approach is used in this study. First, a panel data regression analysis was performed using a tool called EViews 12. Second, to deepen the empirical nature of this research, and with the results of the panel data regression analysis having already been obtained, tax consultants who have legal power of attorney at the tax court were invited to a focus group discussion (FGD) that was held in Bali. The results of this study find that tax disputes have a negative effect on firm value. This study also demonstrates that an industry having a high profile weakens the negative effect of tax disputes on firm value. The research findings provide an understanding of tax disputes, firm values, and industry profiles within the framework of signaling theory and legitimacy theory. The limitation of this research is that it does not discuss typical tax dispute cases (whether material disputes or judicial disputes) due to data limitations.

Pharmaceutical distribution companies or also known as Pharmaceutical Drug Wholesalers (PBF) play a significant role in the distribution of pharmaceutical products in Indonesia. Without the role of PBF, the drug will not reach the patients from the manufacturer. The PBF appointed by the manufacturer to distribute the product, has operational performance targets that must be achieved. However, like other businesses, PBF operational performance is also affected by external factors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, government regulations and competition intensity. The impact of internal factors such as limited company resources is also investigated in this research. This research tries to explore the impact of external factors, those are: the pandemic of COVID-19, government regulations, competition intensity and internal factors that are the company's limited resources to PBF operational performance. Sales strategy is also used as mediating variables from external and internal factors to operational performance, thus operational control as moderating variable from sales strategy to operational performance respectively. Data collection was obtained by questionnaires and interviews with 44 PBF operational leaders in Bali, Indonesia. Data analyzing using SmartPLS 3.0. The COVID-19 pandemic, government regulations, competition intensity and company’s limited resources have a negative impact on the company's operational performance. Sales strategy serves as a mediating variable from external and internal factors to operational performance. Operational control plays a significant role in moderating sales strategy and the performance of operational. The theoretical implication of this research is to enhance The Contingency Theory, which claims that the business environment, strategy, and control are three major contingency elements that are linked. The findings of this study also strengthen the concept of Transaction Cost Theory, which states that the relationship between the parties in a transaction is associated with rights and obligations that are poured into a very detailed agreement. The operational performance required by the principal to PBF is also included in the agreement and PBF should strive to achieve that operational performance.
