The practice of accounting conservatism, determination of capital structure, and firm performance are important elements in influencing firm value, either directly or through moderation. Firm performance as a reflection of company`s policy plays an important role as a variable that can moderate this influence. Thus, this study aims to examine the role of firm performance in influencing firm value, particularly in moderating the effect of accounting conservatism and capital structure. To test this role, managerial ownership and institutional ownership are viewed as control variables. A total of 43 manufacturing companies from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) were sampled from 153 manufacturing companies listed from 2017 to 2019 to achieve this target. The data collection approach in this study was purposive sampling, and the data analysis method was multiple regression. The results showed a statistically significant positive effect between accounting conservatism and firm value, while the capital structure had no statistically significant effect. Firm performance acts as a moderating variable of accounting conservatism and capital structure in influencing firm value. The results of this study also confirm that managerial ownership and institutional ownership do not function as control variables in controlling the effect of accounting conservatism and capital structure on firm value. Whereas managerial and institutional ownership is expected to encourage managers to carry out policies that are oriented towards increasing the firm value.

The existence of a research gap compared to previous studies related to the effect of the relationship between institutional ownership and investment opportunity set on firm value in Indonesia is interesting to review. This study aims to reveal the relationship of these influences by adding capital structure as a moderating variable that serves to strengthen it against firm value. The research variables are the ratio of market value to book value of assets, institutional ownership, debt-to-equity ratio and free cash flow. The research timeframe is 2019–2021, using data taken from companies in the manufacturing sector in the Indonesian Capital Market (IDX). Data sampling was carried out using the purposive sampling method. Data analysis to determine the relationship of these effects and hypothesis testing were performed using multiple regression. The empirical research findings indicate that the investment opportunity set has a positive effect on increasing firm value, while capital structure has a negative effect on decreasing it. Institutional ownership and free cash flow do not determine firm value, so free cash flow does not serve as a control variable. The main finding of this study is revealing that capital structure plays a role in strengthening the effect of the relationship between investment opportunity sets on firm value.

This study examines profitability as a mediating variable to explore variables that affect the capital buffer in commercial banks. The research population is conventional commercial banks operating in Indonesia, with an observation period of 2017–2020. A purposive sampling method was used, during which 90 observations were found. Data analysis used multiple regression and the Sobel test to test for the mediating role of profitability. The results show that profitability acts as a mediating variable for non-performing loans and the ratio of loans to deposits in the capital buffer. Therefore, it is suggested that banks must maintain their ability to generate profitability in order to avoid liquidity risk. Another finding that is also important for bank managers is that non-performing loans have a significant effect on reducing profitability, while loans to total assets have a positive impact. Loan-to-deposit ratio and income diversification are not significant to profitability. Profitability, debt-to-total assets ratio, and income diversification have a negative impact on the capital buffer. Non-performing loans are not significant, while the loan-to-deposit ratio has a significant positive impact on the capital buffer.

Market competitiveness shows a condition where a company can enter the market and survive in that market. In an economic environment experiencing a global crisis, it is important to study the factors of company competitiveness so that companies can compete in the global market. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between the influence of capital structure, firm performance, and market competitiveness. This study took samples from manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2018 to 2020. The data collected are panel data that are quantitative in nature, analyzed by multiple regression, which is processed using the Eviews 9 software. The variables used are debt to asset ratio, debt to equity ratio, and current assets as indicators of capital structure, and return on assets and return on equity as indicators of firm performance are placed as independent variables, and firm size as control variables. The dependent variable is market competitiveness, which is proxied using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) measurement. The results of the analysis show that the debt to asset ratio, debt to equity ratio, return on assets, and firm size have no effect on market competitiveness. However, the current ratio has a negative effect, while the return on equity has a positive effect on market competitiveness. Thus, firm size does not act as a control variable in influencing market competitiveness.

An important factor in increasing public trust in banks is to show bank performance, so it is necessary to know the factors that influence bank performance. Therefore, it is important to attract the attention of bank management. This study aims to determine the factors influencing bank performance by using social responsibility as a moderating variable. This study involved 20 banks in Indonesia and used a quantitative approach. Secondary data sources were used for data collection and analyzed using a regression equation model. The results show that non-performing loans and bank size have no effect on bank performance. Meanwhile, loan-to-deposit ratio and corporate social responsibility have a positive effect at the 1% significance level. The results of testing the moderation effect obtained t-statistic values of –0.365 and –4.269. These results show that social responsibility has a negative effect, does not moderate the relationship between non-performing loans and bank performance, but has a negative effect, moderating the relationship between the loan-to-deposit ratio and bank performance. These findings have policy implications for bank performance through the implementation of corporate social responsibility policies.

Organizational citizenship behavior is vital to the company’s internal control system. This is because individual contributions that exceed role demands in the workplace increase company productivity and efficiency. This study aims to determine the role of resistance to change in moderating the influence of psychological capital and leader-member exchange on organizational citizenship behavior in micro, small, and medium enterprises in Indonesia. This paper uses a quantitative approach, and data collection is carried out through online surveys. The sample comprises 263 managers or owners of micro, small, and medium enterprises in Indonesia. This paper uses panel data; to test the interaction regression of resistance to change as a moderator, it uses the ordinary least squares method. The research results found empirical evidence that psychological capital and leader-member exchange impact increasing organizational citizenship behavior. Other findings show that resistance to change negatively moderates the influence of psychological capital and leader-member exchange on organizational citizenship behavior of Indonesia’s micro, small, and medium enterprises.

During collaboration strategies, companies combine two or more products with different characteristics. This strategy is interesting to research because it is an out-of-the-box strategy. In general, brand partnerships usually occur between companies with similar values, missions, and consumer target markets. This study aims to examine the effect of co-branding and promotions on customer-based brand equity and repurchase intentions with customer-based brand equity as a mediator. This paper used a quantitative approach. Data collection was carried out through online surveys distributed among 115 buyers of a collaborative product of Upmost Beauté cosmetic item and Tolak Angin herbal medicinal item in the city of Semarang, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Data analysis used regression tests and Sobel tests with SPSS 24.0 software. The research results found empirical evidence that co-branding and promotions increase customer-based brand equity, and customer-based brand equity increases repurchase intentions. These results also reveal the mediating role of customer-based brand equity in contributing to increased repurchase intentions. Co-branding and promotional strategies increase repurchase intentions through customer-based brand equity. Companies should focus on co-branding strategies, promotions, and customer-based brand equity to attract more consumers to repurchase Upmost Beauté and Tolak Angin collaboration product.
