Abstract

The aim of this study is to find the relationship between international trade and economic growth in ASEAN countries. Three independent variables used to measure the economic growth include international trade, the exchange rate, and foreign direct investment. This study employs a pedroni panel cointegration test to examine the data from 2004 to 2015. The results show that there is a long term cointegrated relationship between international trade and economic growth in the ASEAN countries. International trade and foreign direct investment also have a long term, positive impact on economic growth. Meanwhile, the exchange rate also has a long term, negative influence on the economic growth. In addition, there is an indirect relationship and bidirectional causalities between the GDP and international trade, as well as between the GDP and the exchange rate. On the other hand, there is a direct relationship and a bidirectional causality between international trade and the exchange rate. The FDI leads GDP, international trade, and exchange rates. Our results suggest that international trade must be supported by government policies that aim to enhance the financing of new investment for economic growth.

Abstract

The objectives of this study are two folds. Firstly is to identify the advantages and disadvantages factors of electronic learning’s adoption. Secondly is to measure the influence of innovation adoption components toward users’ attitude in using electronic learning. A mixed method of study was carried out in response to the research’s objectives. The qualitative approach was conducted by means of interviewing 25 participants of users to identify e-learning advantages and disadvantages. The quantitative approach was used to test the hypotheses. A questionnaire was distributed to 313 e-learning system users. The results show that the three advantages and disadvantages of e-learning adoption factors were formed. SEM-Smart PLS was used to test the hypothetical relationships. The results indicate that three dimensions of innovation diffusion significantly influenced the attitude toward e-learning, while two dimensions were not significant. The findings suggest that education-based business services should use the advantages factors and influential dimensions to promote their teaching-learning services delivery and eliminate weaknesses and insignificant dimensions.

Abstract

Islamic banking is a dynamic segment in the banking industry. However, although having enormous potential, Islamic banks, especially micro banks which have emerged only recently, are perceived as less popular and as less experienced than conventional banking. Therefore, they need a proper strategy to compete and have a high performance compared to their competitors. To conduct this research, 250 Islamic bank employees were gathered using a self-administered questionnaire in West Java Province, Indonesia. This research examines the construct validity and reliability by applying variance-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS). This method was used to verify the model that has been proposed. This research shows that Religiosity directly and indirectly affects the job performance in Islamic Rural Bank. This study is also intended to assess the effect of religiosity on job performance through strengthening employee job satisfaction and employee engagement. It also gives a reference for the managers of Islamic Bank that in the recruitment of employees they must also observe their individual religiosity beside their working ability. Then, it needs to be considered and improved to increase their performance and to make it in accordance with the standards expected by the company

Abstract

Indonesian Islamic banking system has existed for more than 25 years old. However, at this age, it still has not had its own instrument for measuring performance and still adopts the orthodox measuring instrument which is restricted to financial ratio measurement only. The use of this orthodox measuring instrument as the only tool to evaluate the Islamic banks performance is considered less suitable, both in terms of the features and the purposes of Islamic banking in general. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the performance of Islamic banks using the Sharia Maqashid Index, Sharia Conformity and Profitability (SCnP) and CAMELS approaches. The population of this study was all Islamic Commercial Banks listed in Bank Indonesia from 2012-2016, while the data analysis technique used the quantitative research with descriptive approach. The Sharia Maqashid Index approach has three variables; educating people, establishing justice, and achieving public interest. The Sharia Conformity and Profitability (SCnP) approach has two variables; Sharia Conformity and Profitability. Meanwhile, the CAMELS approach has five variables; Capital, Asset Quality, Management, Earning, and Liquidity. The results of the research using the Sharia Maqashid Index approach shows that Bank Muamalat is in the first rank, followed by Bank Syariah Mandiri, BNI Syariah, and Bank Mega Syariah. By using the SCnP approach, the research shows that there are no Islamic banks in the upper right quadrant that has high sharia suitability and high profitability. Moreover, the CAMELS approach shows that all Islamic banks are quite healthy. The application of these performance measurement approaches become a factor that plays a dual role for the achievement of financial performance and sharia conformity.

Abstract

Tourism contributes to regional development and generates income for destinations. However, in many cases, the growth of tourist numbers does not necessarily result in an equivalent rise in economic contribution. The search for quality tourists over the quantity of tourists is certainly an important goal of regional development managers, but the efforts required to implement such an approach, especially the detailed documentation of tourist behavior while visiting the region, pose a challenge for most. This is perhaps why the analysis of quality vs quantity of tourists has been limited. This study focuses on the Great Ocean Road Region in Australia; an area that is experiencing increased visitor numbers but is not seeing commensurate economic growth. A fine-grained analysis of the international and domestic tourists is employed to determine behavior-based tourist quality, including the measurement of their traveling behavior, overnight visitation pattern, expenditure, and regional dispersal. Data was collected from 311 domestic tourists and 562 international tourists. Descriptive statistical methods were used in analyzing data. Results indicate that the domestic tourists were of a higher quality than the international tourists; they stayed longer, spent more, and were more widespread across the region than the international tourists. Hence, high-quality tourists can be a valuable resource and should be a priority for regional tourism development.

Abstract

In recent years, a paradigm shift has occurred regarding the way firms report their activities. Instead of using the traditional approach, otherwise called paper-based reporting, the trend has switched into the use of a more sophisticated approach referred to as internet or web-based reporting. This study examines the extent of internet implementation in business reporting by emphasizing on the listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria. For the purpose of this study, all manufacturing companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange constitute the population. The purposive sampling procedure was employed to select forty-five out of ninety listed companies. Primary data were obtained from a thematic questionnaire that uses validated scales. The data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Specifically, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was the inferential statistic used to evaluate the extent to which manufacturing companies employ the internet in reporting their financial and non-financial activities. The results show that the listed manufacturing companies are at the exploratory stage. The internet is employed either as an extension activity or enrichment exercise to the hard copy business reporting model. This study offers a guide to stakeholders of the listed manufacturing companies to enhance their competitive advantage by employing technology in reporting their activities.

Abstract

This study examines shopper satisfaction toward an online purchasing model in small and medium restaurants (SMRs), including the quality of e-service and food, with perceived value as the determinants. For this research purpose, 392 data gathered from online restaurant shoppers in Bandung, Indonesia. This study adopts the Structural Equation Model (PLS) to evaluate shopper satisfaction relations with its determinants as well as consequences. The results uncover that both the quality of e-service and food on shopper satisfaction is essential, and disclose the partial mediation function of perceived value to assess the relationship between both qualities on shopper satisfaction. This study offers a guide to SMR managers to enhance their business performance by focusing on the quality of food, instead of focusing on both the quality of e-service and food. In terms of online service-based businesses, this research implies that the SMRs need to collaborate with reliable online platform service providers.

Abstract

The term of Peak Season in financial institutions may still be peculiar in the eyes of the world, but in Indonesia, this phenomenon is a real thing. It has succeeded in making some financial institutions susceptible and even bankrupt. Peak season is not unconventional from the high season, but it is far more compact. Peak session, as it means in this study, is the period in which people simultaneously withdraw their savings for seasonal needs such as Eid session, school season, New Year session, and another equal occasion. This study aims to (1) analyze the effect of liquidity risk and intellectual capital on the stability of Baitul Maal wa Tamwil Islamic Microfinance Institutions (BMT IMFI) in the peak season periods, and (2) analyze the co-movement relation between liquidity and credit risk in BMT IMFI in West Bandung Regency during 2013 -2017. By using monthly data and fixed effect estimation techniques in the Generalized Moments Method (GMM) model, this study found that liquidity risk negatively affects the stability level of IMFI. Meanwhile, the intellectual capital of BMT IMFI has a positive effect on its stability level. Based on the analysis, this study also found some interesting results for BMT IMFI liquidity management policies in the Peak Season period. Furthermore, the testing on the relation between IMFI BMT’s liquidity risk and credit risk shows an insignificant result to find out the existence of a co-movement between these two risks.

Abstract

The study of fan loyalty in sports marketing mostly is focused on spectator attachment and brand athlete. However, lack of studies examines the fan loyalty formulation toward the international team using brand image. This study aims to examine the influence of two brand image dimensions (attributes and benefits) in creating fan loyalty toward the international team. This study applies the covariance-based structural equation model for analyzing the data. The sample consists of 335 international team football fans in Indonesia. These results reveal that both attributes and benefits are pivotal factors in influencing attitudinal loyalty as well as behavioral loyalty. Further, the result shows that the effect of attributes on attitudinal loyalty is higher compared to behavioural loyalty. These findings extend the existing knowledge on the relationship between brand image and customer loyalty in a sports context and provide useful implications for practitioners to retain their fan loyalty.
