- Influencing factors on sustainability reporting quality based on sustainable development goals (SDGS) considering COVID-19by Wiwi Idawati on October 7, 2024 at 6:20 am
In 2020, the major companies in the Asia Pacific region faced challenges in sustainability performance reporting, primarily attributed to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This crisis compelled companies to reassess their sustainability goals. This study aims to analyze the relationship between corporate governance and corporate characteristics such as industry type and government ownership of sustainability reporting quality based on sustainable development goals (SDGs) with a population of 200 companies in ASEAN countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, listed on each country’s stock exchange. The research sample consisted of 84 companies selected through purposive sampling. The hypothesis testing model employed a multiple linear regression method and utilized the panel data regression analysis approach. The findings indicate that the three corporate governance components examined in this research board independence, audit committee, and managerial ownership, along with government ownership do not exert a significant influence on sustainability reporting quality based on the seventeen SDGs goals. Furthermore, we believe that this research is very important to be carried out in Indonesia, given that environmentally sensitive industries face the risk of environmental damage and therefore need legitimacy to maintain their operations, demonstrated through sustainability report reporting.

- Dynamic capabilities facilitate the use of technology to promote organizational ambidexterityby Tyna Yunita on September 26, 2024 at 6:16 am
The organizational ambidexterity of commercial banks has been the subject of recent research. As a novelty, research has yet to be conducted on the banking sector in a dynamic environment. This study’s goal is to identify the variables that affect ambidextrous banking. The research methodology uses quantitative techniques with six constructs: organizational ambidexterity (OA), dynamic capability (D-CA), organizational culture (O-CU), human capital (H-CA), and technological capacity (T-CA) with moderator environmental dynamism (E-DY). The research questionnaire was measured using seven Likert scales, and the data was processed using structural equation modeling and Smart PLS software. The results of all hypothesis tests are as follows: First, technological capacity, organization culture, and dynamic capability have a positive effect on organizational ambidexterity. Second, technological capacity, human capital, and organizational culture have positive results for a positive effect on dynamic capability. Third, the moderating effect of E-DY on the relationship between T-CA and OA has a negative and significant impact. Fourth, the moderating effect of E-DY on the relationship between O-CU and OA is insignificant. Fifth, the moderating influence of E-DY on the link between dynamic capability and organizational ambidexterity has a positive and significant impact. This study will contribute to the theoretical aspect by enriching the theory that human resource management, technological capacity, organizational culture, and dynamic capabilities are essential in organizational ambidexterity.
- How organizational citizenship behaviors promote job performance: evidence from the aviation industryby Bui Nhat Vuong on September 19, 2024 at 5:49 am
In the 21st century, the working environment is changing rapidly, and competition is fierce. In industries such as airlines, it is crucial to identify the factors that drive employee performance. This study aims to determine the elements of organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) that have an impact on work performance. A mixed research method was employed for the study, which collected survey data from 195 employees of ground service companies in Vietnam, including Saigon Ground Service Company (Sags), Vietnam Airport Ground Service Company (Viags), and Hanoi Ground Service Joint Stock Company (Hgs). The results revealed that five factors of OCBs affect job performance, ranked in descending order: (1) Voice-speaking up about concerns, (2) civic virtue, (3) conscientiousness, (4) courtesy, and (5) altruism. The study also proposed some implications for managers of ground service companies to enhance their employees’ job performance.
