Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction in Last Mile Logistics: Evidence from a Courier and Parcel Delivery Firm
type: item
description: This study investigates whether the SERVQUAL dimensions—tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy—predict customer satisfaction in a courier and parcel-delivery (last-mile logistics) company. A cross-sectional survey of 100 customers selected via purposive sampling was administered using multi-item Likert scales. Data were analyzed with multiple regression to estimate the marginal contribution of each dimension and to assess the joint (simultaneous) effect on satisfaction. The findings show that all five dimensions are positively and significantly associated with customer satisfaction, and the model confirms a significant joint influence. Responsiveness and empathy emerge as the strongest predictors, whereas assurance exhibits the weakest effect, indicating room for improvement in perceived security, reliability of commitments, and service guarantees. Managerially, the company should sustain strengths related to empathy, tangibles, and responsiveness (e.g., attentive staff, clear physical cues of service quality, swift handling of requests) while prioritizing initiatives that bolster assurance—such as transparent service policies, consistent delivery promises, and credibility signals. The study adds firm-level evidence from the last-mile logistics sector, reinforcing the relevance of SERVQUAL for explaining satisfaction in time-sensitive, technology-enabled delivery contexts.

Reassessing the Influence of STP Strategic Choices on Sales Performance: Evidence from a Food and Beverage SME
type: item
description: This study investigates the extent to which strategic decisions in segmentation, targeting, and positioning (STP) translate into short-term sales performance within a food-and-beverage small enterprise. Using a descriptive–quantitative approach, the research employed a within-firm sampling frame covering all 36 employees and collected data through standardized survey instruments. Prior to hypothesis testing, the measurement model was evaluated to ensure construct validity and internal reliability. Multiple linear regression was then applied to estimate both the individual and combined effects of the three STP dimensions on sales outcomes, supported by conventional diagnostic checks for statistical assumptions. The empirical results reveal that while segmentation, targeting, and positioning yield positive coefficient directions, none attain statistical significance, and their joint contribution adds only marginal explanatory power. These findings imply that STP strategies, when implemented in isolation, may not directly enhance sales performance in the short run. The effectiveness of STP appears contingent on complementary managerial actions such as product/menu refinement, pricing adaptability, promotional intensity, service innovation, and localized market engagement. From a managerial standpoint, the study underscores the importance of aligning strategic marketing determinations with operational execution rather than relying solely on strategic intent. Theoretically, the research adds micro-level evidence to the mixed debate regarding the STP–performance linkage in small service firms. Future studies are encouraged to incorporate consumer-side metrics, experimental designs, or transaction-level panel data to better capture how STP strategies generate value throughout the customer decision process.

Does Working Capital Efficiency Drive Profitability? Evidence from a Listed Telecommunications Company
type: item
description: This study examines the association between working capital turnover and profitability in a publicly listed telecommunications company over 2018–2024, spanning pre-pandemic (2018–2019), pandemic (2020–2021), and post-pandemic (2022–2024) phases. Using secondary data from audited annual financial statements and stock-exchange filings, the analysis applies ratio and trend techniques to assess how liquidity management relates to earnings performance amid shifting demand and investment cycles. The results indicate an inverse pattern: periods of higher working capital turnover did not coincide with higher profitability, while lower turnover was accompanied by improved profitability. This outcome aligns with the sector’s capital-intensive, subscription-driven cash cycle, where rapid turnover can reflect tighter working capital positions that constrain service quality and margin capture, whereas more moderate turnover is consistent with capacity expansion, disciplined receivables management, and stronger margins. The pandemic and its aftermath amplified these dynamics as surging data usage, network investments, and pricing pressures reshaped short-term liquidity needs and returns. The study contributes sector-specific evidence on liquidity–profitability trade-offs across a systemic shock and underscores that accelerating working capital turnover is not universally profit-enhancing in telecommunications. Managerially, the findings point to calibrating working capital policies to demand volatility, maintaining liquidity buffers, and aligning receivables and “inventory-like” network capacity with profitability targets.

Gold Price Dynamics and Earnings Performance in a Non-Bank Gold-Backed Finance Firm
type: item
description: This study examines whether benchmark gold prices affect profit achievement in a state-owned pawn and gold-financing company. Using branch-level financial statements for 2018–2022, we estimate a single-factor ordinary least squares model to test the association between gold price movements and profitability. The results show a positive and statistically significant relationship, indicating that higher gold prices are associated with improved profits—consistent with collateral value uplift, trading spreads, and product demand dynamics in gold-backed lending. Managerially, the findings suggest the need for agile pricing policies, transparent customer communication on gold price pass-through, and strengthened risk management to handle volatility. The study contributes firm-level evidence on price–profit linkages in gold-backed retail finance. Limitations include a single-firm, single-factor design; future research should incorporate cost structures, fee income, macroeconomic controls, and asymmetric/lagged effects to better map the transmission from commodity prices to financial performance.

Prioritizing Service Quality Levers in a Business Hotel: Empirical Evidence from SERVQUAL
type: item
description: This study investigates whether the SERVQUAL dimensions—tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy—explain customer satisfaction in an independent full-service hotel and identifies the most influential levers. A cross-sectional survey of 100 staying guests recruited via accidental (intercept) sampling was administered using validated Likert-scale items. Construct validity and reliability were established prior to hypothesis testing. Multiple regression with standardized coefficients was employed to estimate the partial effects of each dimension and to assess their relative importance. Results indicate that all dimensions exhibit positive associations with satisfaction; empathy emerges as the strongest predictor, followed by assurance, reliability, and responsiveness, while tangibles show the weakest effect. These findings highlight the primacy of human-contact factors—attentiveness, credibility, and individualized care—in shaping satisfaction within hospitality settings, while signaling improvement opportunities in physical cues and facilities. Managerially, the hotel should sustain strengths in empathy and assurance (e.g., staff sensitivity, clear guarantees, consistent fulfillment of promises) and systematically uplift tangibles through visible quality cues, facility upkeep, and amenity standards. The study contributes firm-level evidence to the hospitality literature by clarifying the relative weights of SERVQUAL dimensions for satisfaction and by underscoring that people-centric capabilities remain decisive even when tangible attributes lag.

Investment Knowledge in the Young Generation: A Theory of Reasoned Action Perspective
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the investment knowledge of students from the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Negeri Makassar using the Theory of Reasoned Action framework. Basic investment knowledge is crucial for prospective investors to avoid irrational investment practices, such as gambling, following trends without analysis, falling victim to fraud, and facing significant financial losses. Adequate knowledge, experience, and business instincts are essential for analyzing which assets to invest in within the capital market. Understanding the correct methods of investing is vital to minimize the risk of losses, particularly in stock market investments. While the growth of investors in Indonesia's capital market is promising, the overall interest in investing remains relatively low compared to other countries. This study underscores the importance of enhancing investment education to better prepare young investors. By increasing their financial literacy and decision-making capabilities, we can help foster a more robust investment culture and contribute to the financial well-being of the young generation.

The Role of Self-Determination Theory in Shaping Investment Readiness Among Young Investors
type: item
description: This study explores the investment readiness of students from the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Negeri Makassar using the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) framework. Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were found to play crucial roles in influencing investment readiness. Intrinsic motivation drives students to develop their knowledge and skills, while extrinsic motivation is triggered by financial rewards and social recognition. The main barriers identified include low financial literacy, limited access to information, and resistance to new technologies. The study suggests that enhancing financial education and digital literacy through comprehensive programs and supportive environments is essential to overcoming these obstacles and improving students' investment readiness. By addressing these barriers, educational institutions can better prepare young investors for successful financial decision-making, equipping them with the necessary tools and confidence to navigate the investment landscape.

Analysis of the Effect Current Ratio on Return on Assets at PT Astra Otoparts TBK.
type: item
description: This study makes an important contribution in understanding the relationship between current ratio and return on assets at PT Astra Otoparts Tbk. Through the use of a simple linear regression test on financial statement data for the period 2015-2022, this study intends to explain the extent to which the current ratio affects the company's return on assets. Current ratio, as the independent variable, is used as an indicator of the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations, while return on assets, as the dependent variable, reflects the company's level of profitability. The results show that, although the current ratio has a positive influence on return on assets, the influence is not statistically significant. In other words, the increase in current ratio does not contribute significantly to the increase in return on assets at PT Astra Otoparts Tbk. The findings can provide valuable insights for company management in designing financial strategies, especially in terms of managing short-term assets and liabilities. In the context of the automotive and spare parts industry in Indonesia, where PT Astra Otoparts Tbk operates, an in-depth understanding of the factors that influence return on assets is crucial. The results of this study can serve as a basis for similar companies to evaluate and improve their financial performance, optimize asset allocation, and manage short-term liabilities more effectively. Further research and the integration of other factors in financial analysis can help shape a more holistic and sustainable business strategy amidst changing market dynamics.
