Abstract: Bali is a popular tourist destination in the world, and the main entry point for foreign tourists to Indonesia. Bali is also an area in Indonesia that is famous for producing woven fabrics, which have various characteristics in each region. Gringsing weaving is one of the traditional Balinese fabrics from Tenganan Village which is considered sacred and its manufacture takes quite a long time, and is carried out with special techniques that are very difficult. This study aims to analyze and map factors related to the sustainability of the Gringsing weaving cultural industry, using the Bayesian Network approach. The results of the FGD with related stakeholders mapped the structure that forms Gringsing industrial sustainability, such as income, social capital, incentives, natural capital, custom law, and traditional institutions. Further analysis was carried out using the Bayesian Network technique and GeNIe tools. In forming the structure of thinking about the sustainability of the Gringsing Weaving industry, the related factors include culture, traditional institutions, natural capital, social capital, to economic factors, such as income and special incentives from the government. Specifically, the role of traditional institutions and government (through special incentives) was analyzed, and it was found that both factors can increase the probability of the sustainability of the gringsing weaving industry. The results of the sensitivity analysis also show that the sustainability of the Gringsing weaving industry is highly influenced (sensitive) to the increasing role of traditional institutions.

Abstract: This study aims at exploring the effect of marketing 5.0 as a whole construct on marketing performance and the moderating role of customer resources between these two variables. Moreover, the study aims at examining the effects of marketing 5.0 dimensions, i.e., predictive marketing, contextual marketing, augmented marketing, and agile marketing on marketing performance as well as the moderating role of customer resources in the effect of each dimension on marketing performance. Collecting data by a closed-end questionnaire from a sample consisting of 186 managers and sales persons in clothing shops, the results pointed out that there is a statistically significant effect of marketing 5.0 on marketing performance and there is a statistically significant moderating effect of customer resources between marketing 5.0 and marketing performance. Furthermore, the results revealed that three dimensions of marketing 5.0, i.e., predictive marketing, contextual marketing, and augmented marketing, exerted significant effects on marketing performance. As well, customer resources significantly moderated the effects of predictive marketing and augmented marketing on marketing performance. Such results contribute to marketing performance literature through highlighting the importance of both marketing 5.0 and customer resources together in enhancing marketing performance.

Abstract: This study examines the influence of mental accounting, financial attitudes, financial knowledge, and financial self-efficacy on the financial behavior of diligent students in using fintech. This study differs from previous research because it uses a sample of students who already have a business and often use fintech. Data collection was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires to respondents. This study found that financial attitudes and self-efficacy had a significant effect on financial behavior, while financial knowledge had no significant effect on financial self-efficacy and mental accounting. Mental accounting significantly affects financial attitudes, financial behavior, and financial self-efficacy. These findings prove the importance of mental accounting in increasing the confidence and effectiveness of students who often use fintech and have a business in making financial decisions. This research contributes to developing the theory of planned behavior in the context of financial behavior. It reveals that financial literacy does not necessarily increase financial self-efficacy and mental accounting, especially among students who often use fintech and are just starting a business.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the direct effects of environmental sustainability orientation (ESO) on green supply chain management (GSCM), ESO on sustainable performance (SP), and GSCM on sustainable performance (SP). It also examines the indirect effect of GSCM on SP through the mediating role of GSCM. Moreover, it tests the moderating role of environmental collaboration (EC) between GSCM and SP. A total of 155 survey questionnaires were collected from firms with ISO 14000 certification in the manufacturing sector in Algeria. The gathered data was examined using (PLS-SEM) model. The findings showed positive effects between ESO, GSCM, and SP. However, no such effect was detected for the moderating role of environmental collaboration on the links between GSCM and SP. The limitation of this study was the use of only firms with ISO 14000 certification, so future studies should consider a wider range of firms and different scales. Regarding environmental problems, firms in Algeria can apply ESO and GSCM to achieve sustainable performance.

Abstract: The present study analyzed the relationship between the average annual temperature and the area of Amazonian forest in the departments of Peru during the period 2013-2021, using a panel data model with random effects. The data used come from the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) and include the average annual temperature in degrees Celsius and the area of Amazonian rainforest in thousands of hectares, both disaggregated by department. Additionally, CO2 emissions resulting from the loss of tree cover, measured in megatons (Mt) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e), were considered as a control variable. The results revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between the area of Amazonian forest and the average annual temperature, denoting that an increase of one thousand hectares in the extension of the forest corresponds to an increase of 0.0004 °C in temperature. In this sense, the finding contradicts the climate-regulating role played by forests, however, this is attributed to the influence of unobserved confounding variables that are linked to both forest area and temperature.

Abstract: Job satisfaction and digital talent are topics of growing interest in the context of digital transformation. Digitalization is changing the way organizations operate and how employees perceive their work. The state and its administrative staff is no exception, as these capabilities are essential to perform operational tasks that underpin the public institution's documentary processes. This study investigates the influence of digital talent (independent variable) on job satisfaction (dependent variable), employing structural equation modeling (SEM) using WarpPLS software. Digital Talent is broken down into three sub-variables: Digital Competencies of Employees (DCE), Capacity for Digital Innovation and Creativity (CIDC) and Adaptability and Continuous Learning (ACL), while Job Satisfaction is measured through two sub-variables: Work Environment (WE) and Professional Development Opportunities (PDO). The analyses revealed that Capacity for Innovation and Digital Creativity (CIDC) has a significant impact on Work Environment, with a path coefficient (β) of 0.13 (p = 0.01). Similarly, adaptability and continuous learning (ACL) positively influence the work environment, with a path coefficient (β) of 0.10 (p = 0.04). In addition, a strong relationship was found between professional development opportunities (PDO) and work environment, with a path coefficient (β) of 0.68 (p < 0.001). For the relationship between digital competencies (DCE) and career development opportunities, the path coefficient was 0.10 (p = 0.04). Digital talent is a key predictor of job satisfaction in administrative staff. The results suggest that investing in the development of digital capabilities, especially innovation and creativity, as well as adaptability, is essential to improve the work environment and career development opportunities.

Abstract: This study investigates the factors influencing the actual usage of freight forwarding services in Indonesia, focusing on the roles of desire, outcome expectancy, and perceived self-efficacy, with delivery risk and perceived trust acting as moderating factors. Grounded in Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), this study examines how personal cognitive factors and external risks influence users' attitudes and behaviors toward freight forwarding services. Data were collected from 616 respondents across Jakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar utilizing a structured questionnaire. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that desire significantly influences both attitude and delivery risk, while attitude has a strong direct effect on actual usage. Outcome expectancy and perceived self-efficacy demonstrated weaker effects, particularly on attitudes, suggesting that other factors, such as trust and risk perceptions, play a more significant role in this context. Additionally, delivery risk was found to moderate the relationship between desire and attitude, while perceived trust did not moderate the link between attitude and actual usage. The research underscores the importance of trust-building and risk mitigation strategies for freight forwarding service providers in Indonesia. The study also provides theoretical contributions by applying SCT to the logistics sector and offers practical implications for enhancing service adoption in emerging markets.

Abstract: The swift growth of online commerce has significantly impacted the expedition service industry. As online shopping becomes increasingly prevalent, reliable shipping service has become crucial. Therefore, this study aims to determine the correlation between service quality, customer perceived value, and trust, as well as their impact on customer satisfaction within the expedition service industry. A survey was carried out through various messaging platforms, such as WhatsApp and Telegram, to reach users. Data were then obtained from 165 respondents, who were users of the 8 most popular expedition services in Indonesia (including J&T, JNE, SiCepat, Ninja Express, SAP, and others), followed by PLS-SEM analysis. The results showed that the three independent variables positively influenced customer satisfaction. In addition, trust acted as a mediator, indirectly affecting both service quality and customer perceived value. These results are expected to serve as a foundation for developing more efficient and contextually relevant strategies for expedition companies in the future.

Abstract: This paper analyses the possible determinants that induced Silicon Valley and First Republic Bank to Bankruptcy. We employ financial statements for a sample of Banks in line with the business core of Silicon Valley Bank. The period under assessment ranges from 2006-2022. We estimate an indicator of Bank Efficiency using the technique Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The latter indicator is used as the primary step to analyze failure within sample banks. According to the CAMEL model, macroeconomic variables are non-significant but relevant variables that drive failure were: Bank Efficiency, Capital adequacy, Earning ability, and Liquidity position ratio. Our study is relevant for any policy making to prevent any future bank failure. DOI: 10.5267/j.dsl.2024.9.006 Keywords: DEA, Silicon Valley Bank, CAMEL Model
