However, its universal tax-funded mechanism from the state budget raises fiscal justice concerns, as the financial burden is universally shared while direct benefits remain partial. This mixed-method socio-legal study aims to analyze MBG’s fiscal justice dimension through public policy, Maqashid Sharia, and SDGs Zero Hunger. The findings indicate that MBG aligns with Maqashid Sharia in protecting life, wealth, and public interest by stimulating local economies. Although a fiscal justice gap persists due to uneven distribution, it is offset by long-term national productivity gains.

Sebaliknya, variabel Size terbukti tidak memberikan dampak yang nyata terhadap PBV. Namun, ketika diuji secara bersama-sama, ketiga variabel independen tersebut secara simultan memengaruhi nilai perusahaan, di mana model ini mampu menjelaskan variasi data sebesar 80,3% (<em>Adjusted R²).</em> Hal ini mengisyaratkan bahwa pasar modal lebih menyoroti aspek fundamental, yakni kemampuan mencetak laba dan ekspansi pertumbuhan, ketimbang besaran aset perusahaan.

Despite their significant contribution to the urban economy, this group often faces income uncertainty, minimal social security, and weak bargaining power, which directly affect the stability of work motivation. This gap is exacerbated by the dominance of previous studies that are linear quantitative or macro-juridical, leaving a gap in mapping motivation strategies that are based on subjective experiences and operationally measurable. This study uses a convergent mixed design, with a sample of 10 respondents selected through purposive and snowball sampling techniques until data saturation is reached. Data collection was carried out through a five-point Likert scale questionnaire (20 items) and contextual observation. Data were analyzed in stages: factor weighting using the IFAS-EFAS matrix, cross-strategy formulation using the TOWS matrix, and interpretive triangulation with phenomenological narratives. The research findings are expected to provide theoretical contributions in the form of an adaptive work motivation analysis model for flexible workers, while also generating applicable strategic recommendations for local governments and businesses in designing inclusive, measurable, and field-relevant HR interventions.</p> 2026-07-18T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Satria Putra Prasetia, Recky Recky, Ida Farida Oesman, Nazarudin Nazarudin http://ejournal.kompetif.com/index.php/dayasaing/article/view/2953 BUILDING HOTEL CUSTOMER LOYALTY THROUGH SERVICE QUALITY, CORPORATE IMAGE, AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE 2026-07-15T12:03:29+07:00 Conny Conny conny1201@uho.ac.id <p><em>This study aims to analyze the effect of service quality on corporate image, the effect of corporate image on customer loyalty, the direct effect of service quality on customer loyalty, the mediating role of corporate image in the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty, and the moderating role of customer experience in the relationship between corporate image and customer loyalty.

Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with WarpPLS version 7.0. The results revealed that workplace spirituality had a positive and significant effect on meaningful work, with a path coefficient of 0.836 and a p-value of less than 0.001. However, workplace spirituality did not have a significant direct effect on teacher performance, with a path coefficient of -0.041 and a p-value of 0.407. Furthermore, meaningful work had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, with a path coefficient of 0.874 and a p-value of less than 0.001. The indirect effect analysis indicated that meaningful work significantly mediated the relationship between workplace spirituality and teacher performance, with a coefficient of 0.731 and a p-value of less than 0.001.

The company’s development is examined based on business revenue, profit/loss, and number of customers. Meanwhile, financial performance is analyzed using financial ratio analysis, including liquidity ratio (Current Ratio), profitability ratio (Return on Assets/ROA), operational efficiency ratio, and activity ratio (Total Asset Turnover). This research employs a quantitative descriptive method using secondary data in the form of financial statements of PERUMDA Tirta Mayang Jambi City from 2015 to 2024. The data analysis technique involves calculating the growth of each indicator and the average financial ratios to assess the company’s financial condition during the research period. The results indicate that, on average, the development of PERUMDA Tirta Mayang Jambi City shows a positive trend. The average growth of business revenue is recorded at 9.15 percent per year, while the average growth in the number of customers reaches 5.46 percent per year. However, the company’s profit/loss development shows relatively high fluctuations. Based on the financial performance analysis, the average liquidity ratio is categorized as very good (highly liquid). The average profitability ratio (ROA) remains relatively low and falls into the poor category. The average operational efficiency ratio indicates a very efficient (good) condition. Meanwhile, the average activity ratio is considered less effective, suggesting that the utilization of company assets in generating revenue still needs improvement. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that PERUMDA Tirta Mayang Jambi City generally demonstrates positive development. However, improvements in financial performance are still required, particularly in terms of profitability and asset utilization optimization, in order to achieve more sustainable performance in the future</em></p> 2026-06-29T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Muhammad Najib Ariqza, Rosmeli Rosmeli, Al Parok Al Parok http://ejournal.kompetif.com/index.php/dayasaing/article/view/2934 DAMPAK ESKALASI KONFLIK GEOPOLITIK AMERIKA SERIKAT–IRAN DALAM MEMPENGARUHI VOLATILITAS SAHAM PERUSAHAAN SEKTOR ENERGI YANG LISTING DI BURSA EFEK INDONESIA 2026-06-18T08:43:33+07:00 Linda Grace Loupatty lindagrace_loupatty@gmail.com <p>Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East have significant implications for global energy markets and stock market stability, particularly in energy-related sectors. This study aims to examine the impact of the geopolitical escalation between the United States and Iran on the stock volatility of energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The research employs a quantitative approach using the event study method with an event window of eleven trading days (t−5 to t+5) surrounding the event date of February 28, 2026, as the US and Israel launched coordinated airstrikes against strategic targets in Iran, including military and security sites. The analysis includes stock return, expected return, abnormal return (AR), average abnormal return (AAR), cumulative abnormal return (CAR), and stock volatility measured using standard deviation, as well as a paired sample t-test to assess differences before and after the event. The results indicate that the geopolitical conflict significantly affected stock returns and generated positive abnormal returns during the event window period.

The study utilizes secondary data sourced from reports by Badan Pusat Statistik and relevant organizations within Jambi Province. The analytical approaches employed are quantitative descriptive analysis and regression analysis using panel data. The findings reveal that regional spending has a notable negative impact on poverty rates in Jambi Province. This suggests that as regional spending increases, poverty rates tend to decrease. Economic growth appears to have no substantial effect on poverty levels, implying that the benefits of economic progress are not evenly shared across different segments of the population. Similarly, during the study's timeframe, the unemployment rate does not appear to significantly influence poverty. When considered together, regional expenditure, economic growth, and unemployment rate collectively exert a significant influence on poverty rates in Jambi Province. The Adjusted R² of 97. 8% demonstrates that these three factors account for a large portion of the variation in poverty levels, with the remaining percentage attributed to other influences not covered in this research. In light of these results, it is recommended that local authorities enhance the management of regional spending, particularly in areas that directly impact community well-being, to better support poverty alleviation initiatives in Jambi Province.</p> 2026-06-20T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Nindi Puspita Sari, Etik Umiyati, Nurhayani Nurhayani http://ejournal.kompetif.com/index.php/dayasaing/article/view/2928 TOWARD A SMART ACADEMIC LIBRARY: EXAMINING SMART GOVERNMENT IMPLEMENTATION AND DIGITAL SERVICE TRANSFORMATION IN AN INDONESIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY 2026-06-14T06:21:21+07:00 Eko Purnomo eko.purnomo1407@grad.unri.ac.id Zulkarnaini Zulkarnaini zulkarnaini@gmail.com <p>The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed governance practices across higher education institutions, encouraging university libraries to adopt smart government principles to improve service quality, operational efficiency, and user engagement. As academic libraries evolve beyond their traditional role as repositories of printed collections, they are increasingly expected to provide integrated digital services that support teaching, research, and knowledge dissemination. This study investigates the implementation of smart government within the library of Universitas Riau and explores the institutional factors that facilitate or constrain this digital transformation. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using semi-structured interviews, direct observations, and institutional document analysis to obtain comprehensive insights into library governance and digital service delivery. The collected data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data credibility was strengthened through methodological and source triangulation. The findings reveal that smart government implementation has substantially transformed library services through the digitalization of information resources, improved accessibility, integrated information systems, strengthened technological infrastructure, and enhanced staff competencies. These developments have enabled users to access academic resources more efficiently and have contributed to more responsive and user-centered library services. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including incomplete system integration, infrastructure limitations, disparities in users' digital literacy, and the need for continuous professional development among library personnel. The study concludes that smart government provides an effective governance framework for accelerating the development of smart academic libraries while simultaneously improving institutional service quality. The findings also highlight the importance of integrating technological innovation, organizational readiness, and human resource development to ensure the long-term sustainability of digital transformation initiatives in higher education libraries.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Smart government; smart library; digital transformation; academic libraries; digital governance; higher education; public service innovation</p> 2026-06-15T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Eko Purnomo, Zulkarnaini Zulkarnaini http://ejournal.kompetif.com/index.php/dayasaing/article/view/2924 PENGARUH GAYA KEPEMIMPINAN TERHADAP KINERJA PEGAWAI DITINJAU DARI PERSPEKTIF EKONOMI ISLAM (SURVEI PADA KANTOR CAMAT KECAMATAN KAMPAR KIRI HULU) 2026-06-11T06:20:17+07:00 Edi Haryono iaiehmri@gmail.com Marabona Munthe marabonamunthe@umri.ac.id <p>This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style on employee performance at the Kampar Kiri Hulu Subdistrict Office and to examine it from the perspective of Islamic economics.

Income inequality indicates that economic growth does not always occur alongside equitable distribution. Income inequality in Kalimantan and Sumatra fluctuated during the 2017–2023 period. This study analyzes the effect of GRDP per capita, local government capital expenditure, and the labor force participation rate on income inequality in both regions. This research uses secondary data with a panel data model, combining time series data from 2017 to 2023 and cross-sectional data from Kalimantan and Sumatra. The analysis applies the Fixed Effect Model approach using EViews 12 software. The data were obtained from the Statistics Indonesia (BPS) and local government publications. The results show that, partially, GRDP per capita has a negative and significant effect on income inequality in both Kalimantan and Sumatra. Meanwhile, local government capital expenditure and the labor force participation rate do not have a significant effect on income inequality in either region. The findings also show that income inequality in Kalimantan, at 0,320, is higher than in Sumatra, at 0,318.

The manufacturing sector was selected as the object of observation due to its strategic role in the national economy, where this sector is continuously required to maintain profitability stability amidst fierce market competition and global raw material cost fluctuations. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research data were sourced from the annual financial statements of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2022-2024 period. The sample selection method was conducted through a purposive sampling technique, while the relationships between variables were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) after fulfilling a series of classical assumption tests using SPSS 26. The test results indicate that Capital Structure has no significant effect on Financial Performance, indicating that an excessive reliance on debt financing can burden corporate profitability due to increased interest expenses.

Latar belakang penelitian didasarkan pada tingginya tingkat persaingan industri serta meningkatnya biaya produksi yang menuntut perusahaan untuk melakukan efisiensi operasional agar mampu mempertahankan daya saing dan profitabilitas. Kajian ini menggunakan metode <em>Critical Journal Review</em> (CJR) terhadap jurnal utama berjudul <em>Cost Reduction Strategies and Financial Performance of Listed Consumer Goods Companies in Nigeria</em>. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami hubungan antara strategi pengurangan biaya dan kinerja keuangan perusahaan, serta mengevaluasi kekuatan dan kelemahan penelitian yang direview. Metode yang digunakan dalam makalah ini adalah studi literatur dengan mengkaji jurnal utama, jurnal pendukung, serta buku referensi yang relevan dengan topik pengurangan biaya dan akuntansi manajemen. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa strategi pengurangan biaya, khususnya pada biaya bahan baku, tenaga kerja, dan overhead, memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan profitabilitas perusahaan. Selain itu, penerapan strategi seperti <em>target costing</em>, <em>activity-based costing</em>, dan <em>lean manufacturing</em> dinilai mampu meningkatkan efisiensi operasional perusahaan. Namun, penelitian utama juga memiliki beberapa kelemahan, seperti keterbatasan sampel, kurangnya variabel eksternal, serta belum mempertimbangkan pengaruh teknologi dan digitalisasi dalam pengelolaan biaya. Dengan demikian, strategi pengurangan biaya dapat menjadi alat penting dalam meningkatkan efisiensi, daya saing, dan keberlangsungan perusahaan manufaktur apabila diterapkan secara efektif dan berkelanjutan</p> 2026-06-10T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Fitri J Sianipar , Ela Setia Prasena Lumban Tungkup , Ardin Dolok Saribu, Amos Michael Sitanggang , Mawar Geby Simamora , Thalia Sreshi Oxana Sidabalok , Bitanto H.M , Cintia Awindah Br Sigiro , Oktafianus Nduru http://ejournal.kompetif.com/index.php/dayasaing/article/view/2890 PENGARUH BIAYA PRODUKSI DAN KUALITAS PRODUK TERHADAP PENETAPAN HARGA JUAL YANG KOMPETITIF PADA UMKM AYAM GEPREK KA 88 2026-06-09T13:50:36+07:00 Yanti Gultom yanti.gultom@student.uhn.ac.id Dwita Agustina Rumahorbo dwitaagustina@gmail.com Tessalonika Sianipar tessalonikasianipar@gmail.com Hamonangan Siallagan monang.siallagan@uhn.ac.id <p>This study was conducted to determine and measure the extent to which production costs and product quality influence competitive selling prices for the Ayam Geprek KA 88 business.
