Indonesia’s insurance sector faces governance challenges, including low market penetration, financial instability, and declining public trust. This study examines the impact of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) mechanisms, including the Independent Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors, Audit Committee, and Institutional Ownership, along with Firm Size, on profitability, measured by Return on Equity (ROE). Using multiple linear regression, the study analyzes 240 financial reports from 15 publicly listed Indonesian insurance firms (2020–2023). The findings indicate that most governance mechanisms, including the Independent Board of Commissioners, Audit Committee, and Institutional Ownership, do not significantly affect profitability. However, the Board of Directors negatively influences business performance, suggesting potential inefficiencies or governance constraints. Conversely, Firm Size positively affects profitability, highlighting the advantage of economies of scale. This suggests that structural governance alone is insufficient for profitability without accompanying firm-level strategic advantages. These outcomes imply that Indonesian insurance firms may be over-relying on compliance-based governance without leveraging it for performance gains. Strengthening the strategic capabilities of governance actors could turn oversight mechanisms into profitability drivers.

Innovative Marketing Volume 17, 2021 Issue #3 pp. 17-29 Views: 4821 Downloads: 1798 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe risk of virus contracting during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed consumer preference for online shopping to meet their daily needs than shopping in brick-and-mortar stores. Online shopping presents a different environment, atmosphere, and experience. The possibility of ethical violations is higher during online than face-to-face transactions. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the influence of perceived health risk and customer perception of online retail ethics on consumer online shopping behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, involving seven variables, namely perceived health risk, security, privacy, non-deception, reliability fulfillment, service recovery, and online shopping behavior. The data were collected through an online survey by employing the purposive sampling technique to a consumer who has shopped online during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. 315 valid responses were obtained and analyzed through quantitative method using SEM-Amos. The results showed that perceived health risk and four variables of online retail ethics including security, privacy, reliability fulfillment, and service recovery affected online shopping behavior. Meanwhile, non-deception was found to have an insignificant effect. The coefficient value proved perceived health risk to be more dominant in influencing online shopping behavior than the variables of online retail ethics. Thus, consumers pay more concern for their health during online shopping. However, positive consumer perceptions of the behavior of online retail websites in providing services also can encourage consumers to shop online during this pandemic.

Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 15, 2017 Issue #2 pp. 19-35 Views: 4778 Downloads: 1767 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯCorporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting plays a key role in management control, particularly in light of the increased demand for non-financial reporting after the financial crisis of 2008–2009. This literature review evaluates 47 empirical studies that concentrate on the influence of several board composition variables on the quantity and quality of CSR reporting. The author briefly introduces the research framework that underpins current empirical studies in this field. This is followed by a discussion of the main variables of board composition: (1) committees (audit and CSR committees), (2) board independence, (3) board expertise, (4) CEO duality, (5) board diversity (gender and foreign diversity), (6) board activity, and (7) board size. The author, then, summarizes the key findings, discusses the limitations of the existing research and offers useful recommendations for researchers, firm practice and regulators.

Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 18, 2020 Issue #1 pp. 107-118 Views: 3997 Downloads: 929 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯHuman resource management (HRM) is one of the elements enabling an organization to remain competitive in turbulence conditions. The effective practice of HRM makes competent and innovative employees contributing to the achievement of organizational objectives. This study aims to analyze HRM practices in creating innovation and organizational performance. The questionnaire was used to measure the respondents’ perceptions of variables used by a Likert scale. A survey of 126 manager samples and middle managers at export-oriented short and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bali, Indonesia, was conducted to test the model. The analysis has shown that the proposed model was proven to be compliant with the research hypotheses. HRM significantly affects organizational performance and innovation, and it was found out that innovation can improve organizational performance. However, in the process of simultaneous testing, it was found out that innovation cannot improve organizational performance. The lack of attention to investments in human resources became one of the barriers to SMEs in creating innovation.
