Bibliometrics of fun work Authors: Fahreza, Mohamad Yusuf; Harjanah, Theresia Wira Abstract: Abstract: The attention and interest in fun work have exponentially increased among practitioners and academic communities. This phenomenon replaced the old-fashioned view that created a rigid climate in the office. Many employees have adopted a fun work culture to improve employer branding and employee experiences and retain their talents. Using bibliometric techniques, this study aimed to capture the trend of research in fun work and identify research streams in fun work derived from the critical topic distributions of the fun work academic literature. We performed word co-occurrence analysis, author network analysis, and publication analysis. This study identified four streams in the science of fun work: activities to make work fun, a fun work environment system, positive effects of fun work, and support for fun work. The research trend and research streams in Fun Work provided insight for researchers to find potential issues to address in future research. They revealed the interactions as well as connections among researchers in fun work. 2024-12-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/12637 Title: Impacts of the Scarcity of Health Appliances on Impulsive Purchases during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia Authors: Elisaa, Hanifah Putri; Fakhri, Mahendra; Pradana, Mahir Abstract: Abstract: At the height of the COVID-19 epidemic in Indonesia in 2020, there was a serious shortage of medical supplies, which had a detrimental impact on impulsive consumer spending and public safety. This essay aims to comprehend why people make impulsive purchases during catastrophes and disasters such as COVID-19. Using the theories of scarcity and Stimulus, Organism, Response (SOR), this research investigates the impact of the lack of health equipment products on consumers' impulsive buying during the pandemic in Indonesia. In the end, 170 valid data sets from an online poll were obtained, and SmartPLS was used to analyze the data. The results show that impulse purchasing is significantly boosted by shortages. The results also show that while false news on social media moderates the connection between scarcity and impulse purchases, fear of missing out (FOMO) mediates the correlation between scarcity and impulse buying. In order to gain an advantage over competitors in future COVID-19 or similar crisis circumstances, marketers and brand managers will need to develop cutting-edge strategies to increase their brand's market share. The study's results are essential for understanding the abrupt shifts in impulsive buying patterns in Indonesia during an emergency, given the scarcity of health appliance products during the pandemic. This research can therefore contribute to our understanding of customers' irrational purchasing behavior. Businesses and the Indonesian government can take steps to reduce the impact, helping to ensure the country's safety throughout any future epidemic. 2024-11-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/12633 Title: Factors Causing Panic Purchasing Behavior during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Customer Satisfaction With Government Intervention as the Moderating Variable Authors: Qibtiyah, Desy B.; Dharmmesta, Basu S. Abstract: Abstract: It is essential to observe the phenomenon of panic buying during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, research into panic buying spans multiple study fields, and deserves more consistent scientific attention. This study examines the factors of panic buying behavior using the theory of Maslow's hierarchy of needs to scrutinize panic buying behavior regarding consumer needs. Subsequently, this study investigates the moderating variable of government intervention to fill the research gap. Furthermore, this study looks for the effect on customer satisfaction that resulted from the panic buying behavior phenomenon. The data were collected from 456 grocery and drug store consumers in Indonesia, who shopped throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. PLS-SEM was used to analyze the data. The outcomes indicate that control, social media, perceived severity, and perceived scarcity significantly affect panic buying behavior. In contrast, government intervention only moderated the effect of social media on panic buying. Finally, the phenomenon of panic buying significantly affects customer satisfaction. 2024-10-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/12632 Title: Malaysian Government-Linked Companies and Earnings Management: The Interaction Effects of Internaland External Audit Governance Mechanisms on Earnings Management Authors: Ma, Wyei Leng; Sulaiman, Noor Adwa; Jalil, Azlina Abdul Abstract: Abstract: This study aims to investigate the interactions between the audit governance mechanisms, such as the audit committee (AC), internal audit function (IAF), and external auditors (EA), and earnings management (EM) in Malaysia's government-linked companies (GLCs). It is one of the first papers to explore the complementary impact of external and internal corporate governance mechanisms on EM. This study used regression analysis on 340 firm-year-based observations with Malaysian GLCs available on the Bursa Malaysia main board during the period from 2009 to 2018. This study found that the interaction between the AC and the IAF is significantly and negatively correlated with EM. Similarly, the interaction between EA and the IAF negatively affects EM. However, the relationship between the AC and the EA interaction in lowering EM is negligible. One of the main conclusions of this study is that, in addition to ensuring the IAF's competency, the management of GLCs should establish and support the IAF, because of its critical position in assisting the roles of the AC and EA in minimizing opportunities for EM. The study provides empirical data on the effectiveness of the audit governance systems in Malaysian GLCs, which can aid the government, regulator, and other interested parties in their efforts to increase the GLCs' contributions to achieving orderly social and economic development in Malaysia. 2024-09-01T00:00:00Z
