Sengketa Pajak Atas Penugasan Pemerintah Pada Perusahaan Bumn (Studi Kasus Pertamina, Pos Indonesia Dan Reasuransi Indonesia Utama), Raja Darius Sutardjo Sinaga

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

State-owned enterprises (BUMN) are legal entities which the government has more than 51% ownership. The purpose of BUMN being established is to carry out national development by seeking profits that can become income for the government as well as carrying out public activities through carrying out public services such as providing telecommunications, electricity, water, and construction of public facilities which cannot be fully fulfilled by the government. Therefore, the government hands over the completion of public services to BUMN to carry them out because of their expertise in their respective fields. In every business process carried out by a legal …


An Analysis Of Drivers Of The Federal Funds Rate, Stephen Johnson, Neha Dixit, Martin Selzer Ph.D. Sep 2024

An Analysis Of Drivers Of The Federal Funds Rate, Stephen Johnson, Neha Dixit, Martin Selzer Ph.D.

SMU Data Science Review

The Federal Funds Rate (FFR) is a tool used by the Federal Reserve to set monetary policy on borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. The Fed’s primary motivation with the FFR is to control macroeconomic factors such as inflation and unemployment. Over time, policy stances for the Fed have varied in response to events such as the Great Recession, and more recently the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of the Fed’s actions following these events, there is intensified debate over which macroeconomic factors should be prioritized, and what magnitude of change is sufficient to warrant action. Additionally, when action is taken …


Leadership Strategies And Behaviors That Support Career Advancement For Teleworkers, Glory A. Sanders Sep 2024

Leadership Strategies And Behaviors That Support Career Advancement For Teleworkers, Glory A. Sanders

Journal of Fundamental & Applied Business Research

Research in telework has primarily focused on the study of teleworkers or the comparison between teleworkers and non-teleworkers. For this reason, leader behavior in the telework context has been a relatively neglected area of study. This study emphasized the need for more career advancement within the telework arena, contributing to higher turnover intentions and a reluctance to participate in telework programs. This research explored explicitly leader behaviors and strategies that support career advancement for teleworkers within Denver, Colorado. The findings indicate that leaders are more intentional about communication with teleworkers than non-teleworkers. Physical distance creates many challenges, which effective and …

The Impact Of The Covid-19 Pandemic On Non-Profit’S Organizations Culture, Change, And Financial Stability, Joyce O. Hazzan, Afeez A. Hazzan, Elton Norman Sep 2024

The Impact Of The Covid-19 Pandemic On Non-Profit’S Organizations Culture, Change, And Financial Stability, Joyce O. Hazzan, Afeez A. Hazzan, Elton Norman

Journal of Fundamental & Applied Business Research

Factors such as organizational culture, unplanned change, and financial instability can negatively affect organizations’ bottom line and competitiveness. Specifically, organizations that do not have a healthy culture, consistent decision-making process, and financial stability may be unable to compete in the marketplace during periods of economic uncertainties. Also, it is important to understand how these factors affect non-profit organizations since they are usually relied upon to perform critical roles during periods of crises. The recent COVID-19 pandemic represented an important shock for most non-profit organizations in the Unites States. As non-profit organizations change to accommodate these new realities, it is important …


Evaluating Leadership Behaviors And Their Impact On Employee Morale: A Comparative Methodological Analysis, Mark Ellis Sep 2024

Evaluating Leadership Behaviors And Their Impact On Employee Morale: A Comparative Methodological Analysis, Mark Ellis

Journal of Fundamental & Applied Business Research

This article encompassed the effect of diverse leadership behaviors on employee morale across variable organizational contexts but with a core interest in transformational and participative styles. The analysis brings together findings from a range of methodological approaches that include cross-sectional surveys, longitudinal studies, multi-level analyses, and cross-national research to provide a comprehensive understanding of how leadership impacts employee engagement, job satisfaction, and organizational success. These results indicate that supportive, positive leadership behaviors - empowering and engaging leadership - affect employee morale and innovative behavior - autocratic leadership results in destructive outcomes, such as employee dissatisfaction and high turnover rates. Perhaps …


Transmitting Generational Knowledge, Victoria Cox, Alisa Allen Sep 2024

Transmitting Generational Knowledge, Victoria Cox, Alisa Allen

Journal of Fundamental & Applied Business Research

Generational knowledge loss occurs when retirement-eligible employees depart without transmitting accumulated knowledge to younger employees. The knowledge-loss presents inadequacies if younger employees obtain knowledge on their own instead of gleaning from the experience of the retirement-eligible employees. This article discusses themes found through a qualitative, exploratory, single case study, highlighting transmitting generational knowledge before retirement. It supports the organizational learning theory and the knowledge management theory. The identified themes within the research are knowledge-retention and -transfer of retirement-eligible employees, the benefits and challenges to knowledge-retention and -transfer, the organizational effects of retirement-eligible employees' knowledge-loss, and mentoring and training. A Christian …


Understanding Of Love And Leadership Preferences: Cross-Cultural Approach, Alexander Averin, Richard Diddams Sep 2024

Understanding Of Love And Leadership Preferences: Cross-Cultural Approach, Alexander Averin, Richard Diddams

Journal of Fundamental & Applied Business Research

While there is a plethora of research about the influence of culture on leadership behavior (Den Hartog et al., 1999; Dickson et al., 2003; Dorfman et al., 2012), there is very limited and inconsistent understanding of the impact of love on leadership preferences. This paper examined the fundamental human sentiment of love and how understanding of it in different cultures informs leadership preferences in those contexts. The study employed a qualitative design methodology to explore understanding of love and leadership preferences via open-ended surveys and in-depth interviews of respondents representing two dissimilar cultures of China and the United States. These …

Sustainable Value Co-Creation Between Financial Services Firms And Microenterprise Customers: Is Digital The Missing Link?, Carmina Cavazos, Esi A. Elliot, Rita Abban

International Business and Entrepreneurship Faculty Publications

This paper investigates how financial services providers (FSPs) can engage in value cocreation with their microenterprise customers (CMEs) for sustainable value cocreation. The potential of digital for value cocreation in inter-firm relationships is relevant because digital technologies such as mobile phone and internet platforms are rapidly transforming the business landscape. The research question addressed is how do financial services firms and microenterprises engage in sustainable value co-creation? It is a qualitative study (using phenomenological interviews and observations) of financial service providers (FSPs) and their microenterprise customers (CMEs) in Ghana.

The Relationship Between The Physical Activity Environment, Nature Relatedness, Anxiety, And The Psychological Well-Being Benefits Of Regular Exercisers

The International Journal of Ecopsychology (IJE)

Research from a variety of scientific fields suggests that physical activity in nature and feelings of connection to nature enhance psychological health and well-being. This study investigated the psychological health and well-being impact of the physical activity environment for those already undertaking the recommended weekly amount of physical activity. This topic is important for the design of health and well-being environments and interventions involving physical activity. Participants (N = 262) aged 18–71 years (M = 34.5, SD = 13.1) who met the UK physical activity guidelines completed the Nature Relatedness Scale, the trait section of the State Trait Inventory for …


The 2021 Kansas Rural Grocery Survey: Revaluating Extension’S Role In Rural Grocery Issues, Jacob A. Miller-Klugesherz, Jessica Ramirez, Rial Carver, Erica Blair, Leah J. Tsoodle, Lauren Scheufler Sep 2024

The 2021 Kansas Rural Grocery Survey: Revaluating Extension’S Role In Rural Grocery Issues, Jacob A. Miller-Klugesherz, Jessica Ramirez, Rial Carver, Erica Blair, Leah J. Tsoodle, Lauren Scheufler

Journal of Extension

Kansas State University’s Rural Grocery Initiative, housed under research and extension, surveyed rural Kansas grocery stores in 2021 (N = 48). This is the second RGI survey, following up on the ownership and customer surveys in 2008. This survey broadly assesses owner characteristics, store features, and challenges. Using descriptive and thematic analyses, we identified two topline conclusions for grocers and their respective Extension services. First, grocers need to identify transition plans earlier and more often. Second, grocers can overcome competition and distribution challenges by diversifying their sourcing, supply, and offerings.

Pooling And Winsorizing Machine Learning Forecasts To Predict Stock Returns With High-Dimensional Data, Erik Mekelburg, Jack Strauss Sep 2024

Pooling And Winsorizing Machine Learning Forecasts To Predict Stock Returns With High-Dimensional Data, Erik Mekelburg, Jack Strauss

Finance: Faculty Scholarship

We evaluate US market return predictability using a novel data set of several hundred ag- gregated firm-level characteristics. We apply LASSO, Elastic Net, Random Forest, Neural Net, Extreme Gradient Boosting, and Light Gradient Boosting Machine methods and find these models experience large prediction errors that lead to forecast failures. However, winsorizing and pooling machine learning model forecasts provides consistent out-of-sample predictability. To assess robustness, we apply machine learning methods to high-dimensional data for Canada, China, Germany and the UK as well as the Goyal-Welch data. All machine learning models we consider, except for the ensemble pooled methods, fail to significantly …
