The Effect of Regional Original Revenue and Capital Expenditure on the Financial Performance of Local Governments in North Sumatra Province
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effect of Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) and Capital Expenditure on the financial performance of the regional government in North Sumatra Province. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from regional government financial reports and related statistical publications for the 2019–2023 period. Multiple linear regression is applied, supported by classical assumption tests, partial significance testing (t-test), simultaneous significance testing (F-test), and the coefficient of determination. The results show that, partially, PAD has no significant effect on financial performance (Sig. 0.411 > 0.05), while Capital Expenditure has a positive and significant effect (Sig. 0.031 < 0.05). Simultaneously, PAD and Capital Expenditure significantly affect financial performance (Sig. 0.002 < 0.05). The Adjusted R Square of 0.453 indicates that approximately 45.3% of the variation in financial performance can be explained by PAD and Capital Expenditure, while the remaining portion is influenced by other factors outside the model. These findings suggest that improvements in regional financial performance are more consistently driven by productive spending—particularly capital expenditure—than by increases in PAD alone. Therefore, the regional government should strengthen PAD management and allocate capital expenditure effectively and efficiently to enhance financial performance.

type: item
description: This study aimed to analyze the effects of work facilities, work discipline, and work communication on the performance of civil servant employees at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of North Sumatra Province. The study used a quantitative approach with an associative method. The research population consisted of 247 civil servant employees, with a sample of 71 respondents selected using the Slovin formula and a purposive sampling technique. Primary data were obtained through the distribution of questionnaires, and the results were processed using SPSS software version 24. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to examine the relationships between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The results showed that work facilities, work discipline, and work communication, both partially and simultaneously, had positive and significant effects on employee performance. Work discipline became the most dominant variable influencing employee performance, as indicated by the highest regression coefficient. The coefficient of determination (adjusted R²) of 0.950 indicated that 95.0% of the variation in employee performance could be explained by the three independent variables, while the remaining 5.0% was explained by other variables not included in this research model. In addition, the strength of the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable was categorized as very strong, with a correlation coefficient (R) value of 0.976.

The Effect Of Local Taxes And Local Levies On The Original Revenue Of South Nias Regency In 2022–2024
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effect of regional taxes and levies on local revenue (PAD) in South Nias Regency in the 2022–2024 fiscal year. Regional taxes and levies are two main components that contribute directly to increasing PAD, which ultimately serves as an indicator of the fiscal independence of local governments. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis to determine the relationship between the independent variables (regional taxes and levies) and the dependent variable (local revenue). The data used are secondary data obtained from the Regional Financial Management Agency (BPKD) of South Nias Regency, APBD realization reports, and other relevant official documents during the study period. The results show that regional taxes have a positive and significant effect on local revenue. Similarly, regional levies have a positive but not always significant effect on increasing PAD. Simultaneously, regional taxes and levies together contribute significantly to the PAD of South Nias Regency. These findings indicate that optimizing local tax collection and improving the quality of public services related to levies need to be a focus of local governments to increase financial independence and budget management efficiency.

The Effect Of Financial Literacy and Financial Inclusion On The Intensity Of E-wallet Usage Among Cusstomers at Manakala Coffee Shop Medan
type: item
description: The development of financial technology has encouraged the use of e-wallets as a digital payment method, including in culinary businesses such as coffe shops. Although the adoption of e-wallets in Indonesia continues to increase, their intensity of use at the consumer level is not yet optimal and is influenced by behavioral and structural factors. This study aims to analyze the effect of financial literacy and financial inclusion on the intensity of e-wallet usage among consumers at Coffe shop Manakala Medan. This study uses a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. Data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire distributed to 77 e-wallet users using purposive and convenience sampling techniques. Data analysis was performed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis, which included t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results of the study indicate that financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on the intensity of e-wallet usage. Financial inclusion also has a positive and significant effect and has a more dominant influence than financial literacy. Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect on the intensity of e-wallet usage. These findings confirm that the intensity of e-wallet usage is not only determined by the availability of technology, but also by the level of consumer understanding and ease of access to digital financial services. This study provides empirical evidence by emphasizing the importance of financial literacy and financial inclusion in promoting the sustainable use of e-wallets in the culinary business.

Analysis Of Factors Determining The Welfare Scores Of Families Receiving Pkh: A Case Study Of Simpang Dolok Village, Datuk Lima Puluh District, Batu Bara Regency
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the welfare score of Family Hope Program (PKH) recipient families in Simpang Dolok Village, Datuk Lima Puluh District, Batu Bara Regency. Despite PKH implementation to reduce poverty, variations in welfare levels among recipient families persist. This research utilizes Data Tunggal Sosial Ekonomi Nasional (DTSEN) from January 2025 period with a census approach covering all 94 PKH recipient families. Variables analyzed include household head demographic characteristics, family characteristics, household economic conditions, housing conditions, and access to basic services. Multiple linear regression with Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method was employed for data analysis. The results show that education level of household head, land area controlled, livestock ownership, house floor area, building material quality, and road access conditions have positive and significant effects on DTSEN welfare score. Conversely, number of family members, dependency ratio, and distance to health facilities have negative and significant effects. These findings indicate that improving the welfare of PKH recipient families depends not only on cash transfers but also on enhancing human capital, productive asset ownership, housing quality improvement, and access to basic services.

type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effect of work experience, competence, and job satisfaction on employee performance at the Head Office of Bank Sumut. The research employed a quantitative approach with a causal research design. The population consisted of all employees in the Human Resources Division of Bank Sumut Head Office, with a saturated sampling technique applied. Primary data were collected through questionnaires, while secondary data were obtained from literature reviews. Data analysis methods included validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis, with hypothesis testing conducted using t-test and F-test.

Community Participation in the Planning and Preparation of the APBDes: An Analysis of Village Deliberation Practices in One Village in Medan City in the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year
type: item
description: This study analyzes community participation in the planning and preparation of the APBDes in Suka Maju Village, Medan Denai District, Medan City, for the 2023-2024 period. With a qualitative approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, short questionnaires, and APBDes documentation. The findings show that residents are actively proposing especially for infrastructure needs that have a direct impact; However, their influence on the composition of the final budget is incremental. Driving factors include pro-participatory leadership of village heads and local communication channels, while the main drivers are low budget literacy, less representative implementation times, limited access to detailed documents, and centralized decision-making practices. The analysis revealed that citizens' proposals tended to be recognized on the priority list, but technical verification, the drafting of the RAB, and the dynamics of informal lobbying determined the continuation of funding. The study recommends increasing citizens' budget literacy, training in RAB preparation for village officials, and strengthening document transparency to strengthen meaningful participation that has an impact on village expenditure allocation.

type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the influence of organizational culture and rewards on employee performance with work motivation as a mediating variable at the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of North Sumatra Province. Employee performance is an important factor in achieving organizational strategic goals, especially at the BNN, which faces the complexity of narcotics circulation and demands for quality rehabilitation services. Organizational culture and rewards are expected to influence employee performance directly and through work motivation. The type of research used is quantitative with a survey approach.

Simultaneously, these three independent variables also exert a significant influence on human resource development in supporting member regeneration. Accordingly, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. These findings suggest that successful regeneration at Medan Teater requires the enhancement of individual competencies, the strengthening of motivation, and effective teamwork as the primary foundations of the member development process.

type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effect of e-wallets, QRIS, and mobile banking on the inflation rate in Indonesia. The research adopts a quantitative approach with a causal associative design to examine the relationships among variables. The data used in this study consist of transaction volume data for e-wallets, QRIS, and mobile banking, as well as Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for the period January 2021 to October 2025. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques. The results indicate that: (1) e-wallets (X1) have a significant effect on the inflation rate (Y); (2) QRIS (X2) also has a significant effect on the inflation rate (Y); (3) mobile banking (X3) has a significant effect on the inflation rate (Y); and (4) simultaneously, e-wallets, QRIS, and mobile banking have a significant effect on the inflation rate in Indonesia, contributing 49.1% to the variance, while the remaining 50.9% is influenced by other factors beyond the scope of this study. These findings suggest that the development of digital payment systems is significantly associated with inflation dynamics in Indonesia. Therefore, digital payment systems can be viewed as one of the supporting instruments in maintaining price stability and enhancing monetary efficiency.

The Influence Of Work–Life Balance On Employee Performance Among Working Mothers Pursuing Postgraduate Education: The Moderating Role Of Organizational Support And Social Support
type: item
description: The participation of women in the workforce, combined with their roles as mothers and postgraduate students, gives rise to a triple-burden phenomenon that depletes personal resources. This study examines the effect of work-life balance on employee performance, as well as the moderating roles of organizational support and social support, among full-time working women pursuing postgraduate education in the Greater Jakarta area. A quantitative approach was employed through a survey of 100 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. The results indicate that work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Both organizational support and social support strengthen this effect as moderating variables. These findings reinforce the proposition of Conservation of Resources Theory that the availability and accumulation of resources contribute to the performance of individuals facing multiple role demands.

Skepticism as a Mediating Mechanism in the Relationship between Sustainability Literacy and Students' Green Consumption Behavior
type: item
description: This study examines the influence of sustainability literacy on green consumption behavior among university students and tests the mediating role of green skepticism. Using a quantitative explanatory approach with a cross-sectional survey of 100 active students at Indonesian universities, data were analyzed via PLS-SEM (SmartPLS). Outer model evaluation confirmed convergent validity (factor loading ≥ 0.651; AVE > 0.59) and construct reliability (CR > 0.94; CA > 0.93). Inner model results demonstrate: sustainability literacy positively and significantly affects green consumption behavior (β = 0.484; t = 5.480; p < 0.001) and green skepticism (β = 0.648; t = 8.150; p < 0.001); green skepticism positively and significantly affects green consumption behavior (β = 0.386; t = 4.120; p < 0.001); and green skepticism partially mediates the relationship (β indirect = 0.250; 95% CI = [0.146; 0.352]). R² = 0.625 indicates substantial predictive power. Findings confirm that knowledge-based green skepticism functions as a catalyst for selective green consumption, not a barrier.

The Effect of Transfer Pricing on Financial Distress in the Financial Statements of Mining Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
type: item
description: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of transfer pricing on financial distress and its implications for the quality of financial reports of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The background of this study is based on the importance of financial reports as a source of information for stakeholders, as well as the existence of transfer pricing practices that have the potential to affect the transparency and quality of financial reports, especially in companies experiencing financial distress. This study uses a quantitative approach with a panel data regression analysis method that combines cross-sectional and time series data for the period 2020–2024. The research sample consisted of 10 mining companies selected using a random sampling method. Model testing was carried out using the Chow and Hausman tests, which showed that the best model used was the Fixed Effect Model. The results of the study indicate that transfer pricing and financial distress simultaneously have a significant effect on the quality of financial reports, as evidenced by the F test probability value of 0.000 <0.05. However, partially, the transfer pricing variable does not have a significant effect on financial distress or the quality of financial reports, with a probability value of 0.7482 >0.05. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.7367 indicates that the model is able to explain 73.67% of the variation in the dependent variable. Therefore, it can be concluded that although transfer pricing and financial distress jointly influence financial reporting quality, the individual effect of transfer pricing has not yet shown significance. This research is expected to contribute to academics and practitioners in understanding the factors that influence financial reporting quality, particularly in the mining sector.

The Effectiveness of Receivables Management and Efforts to Minimize Uncollectible Receivables in Indonesian Banking
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of receivables management in minimizing bad debts in Indonesian banking institutions. Bank receivables in the form of loans represent a major asset but also carry the risk of non-performing loans (NPL). The research uses a quantitative approach with panel data regression analysis. The population consists of banks registered with the Financial Services Authority and the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. Using purposive sampling, 10 banks were selected, resulting in 40 observations. Model selection tests, including the Chow test and Hausman test, indicate that the fixed effect model is the most appropriate. The results show that receivables management has a significant negative effect on bad debts. The coefficient of determination of 0.87 indicates that receivables management strongly explains variations in bad debts. Both simultaneous and partial tests are statistically significant. These findings confirm that more effective receivables management leads to lower levels of bad debts, highlighting the importance for banks to strengthen credit policies, monitoring, and collection systems.

The Effect of ERM Disclosure on Firm Performance and Firm Value in the Energy Sector Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
type: item
description: This study investigates the relationship between Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) disclosure, firm performance, and firm value in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The energy sector provides a relevant context because firms in this industry are exposed to operational, commodity price, regulatory, environmental, financing, and energy transition risks. Firm performance is measured by Return on Assets (ROA), while firm value is measured by Tobin’s Q. The study employs panel data from 31 energy sector companies during the 2021–2025 period, resulting in 155 firm-year observations. ERM disclosure is measured using a disclosure index based on 20 items derived from the COSO ERM Framework 2017. The empirical analysis applies panel data regression using a Fixed Effects Model with standard errors clustered by firm. The findings reveal that ERM disclosure has a negative and significant effect on ROA. This result suggests that broader ERM disclosure in the energy sector does not necessarily indicate higher profitability, but may reflect greater risk complexity and higher risk management costs borne by firms. In contrast, ERM disclosure has a positive but insignificant effect on Tobin’s Q, indicating that market valuation is not primarily driven by the extent of ERM disclosure. Investors appear to place greater emphasis on actual profitability, capital structure, cash flow prospects, commodity price dynamics, and energy transition risks. These findings imply that ERM disclosure should focus on the quality and effectiveness of risk management practices rather than merely increasing the volume of information disclosed in annual reports.

type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effect of asset structure, liquidity, and profitability on the capital structure of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2021–2024. Capital structure is measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), asset structure using the Fixed Asset Ratio (FAR), liquidity using the Current Ratio (CR), and profitability using Return on Assets (ROA). This research employs a quantitative approach using panel data from 20 manufacturing companies over four years (80 observations). The sampling technique used was random sampling. Panel data regression analysis was conducted using EViews 13. Based on the Chow and Hausman tests, the most appropriate model was the Fixed Effect Model. The results show that asset structure and liquidity have a positive and significant effect on capital structure, while profitability has a negative and significant effect. Simultaneously, asset structure, liquidity, and profitability significantly influence capital structure. The Adjusted R² value of 0.986 indicates that 98.6% of the variation in capital structure is explained by the three independent variables. These findings suggest that manufacturing firms with a high proportion of fixed assets and strong liquidity tend to use more debt, whereas highly profitable firms rely more on internal financing. This study provides insights for corporate management in determining optimal capital structure policies.

Islamic Fintech As A Medium For Sharia Financial Literacy In The Digital Era: A Systematic Literature Review
type: item
description: Indonesia is home to the world's largest Muslim population, yet its Islamic financial literacy rate remains significantly lower than conventional financial literacy. At the same time, sharia-based financial technology (fintech) continues to expand its reach across segments of society that previously had limited access to Islamic financial services. This gap raises a critical question: can Islamic fintech serve as a meaningful bridge to Islamic financial literacy? This article employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA protocol, analyzing 28 selected articles from multiple scientific databases covering the period 2020–2025. The findings reveal that Islamic fintech functions not merely as a transactional tool, but also as an effective educational medium for sharia financial literacy through embedded education features, direct transactional learning, digital communities, and gamification. Nevertheless, the digital divide, low public trust, and the complexity of Islamic financial terminology remain tangible barriers. This study contributes a research roadmap for the development of digitally-based Islamic financial literacy in Indonesia.

Zakat as an Instrument of Income Redistribution: an Analysis from the Perspective of Islamic Microeconomics
type: item
description: This article examines the role of zakat as an instrument of income redistribution through the lens of Islamic microeconomics. Drawing on 22 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025, selected through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, the study identifies three principal mechanisms through which zakat operates: first, it facilitates direct income transfers to mustahik, substantially enhancing their welfare in accordance with the principle of diminishing marginal utility; second, it corrects distributional failures that market mechanisms alone are unable to resolve; and third, it stimulates the purchasing power of lower-income groups, thereby generating a local economic multiplier effect. On the basis of these findings, this article contends that zakat ought to be recognized not merely as a philanthropic obligation, but as an integral component of a just and inclusive economic architecture. Realizing this potential in practice requires the reinforcement of institutional governance and the professional management of zakat collection and distribution.

Comparison of Economic Growth, Agricultural Sector, and Household Consumption Before and After The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) in Districts With The Highest And Lowest Hdi in South Sumatra
type: item
description: The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is a national priority policy of the Indonesian Government for the 2024–2029 period aimed at improving children's nutrition while simultaneously stimulating the local economy. This study analyzes the comparative impact of MBG on economic growth, the agricultural sector, and household consumption before and after program implementation in South Sumatra, as well as comparing its effectiveness between high and low Human Development Index (HDI) regions. The research employed a comparative quantitative approach with a before-after design across 17 districts/cities, focusing on three highest HDI regions (Palembang City, Prabumulih, Lubuklinggau) and three lowest HDI regions (Empat Lawang, South OKU, PALI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, and simple linear regression with SPSS version 25. The results indicate that MBG has a significant positive effect on economic growth (β=0.348; p<0.001) and the agricultural sector (β=1.945; p<0.001), but a negative impact on household consumption (β=-0.514; p<0.001). The economic impact was greater in low HDI areas, with an economic growth increase of 0.40 percentage points compared to only 0.14 percentage points in high HDI areas. These findings support prioritizing MBG implementation in disadvantaged regions for more inclusive development.

The Influence Of Work Ethics And Work-Life Balance On Teacher Productivity At Athalia Junior High School
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the influence of work ethics and work-life balance on teacher productivity at Athalia Junior High School, South Tangerang. Employing a quantitative causal-associative approach with survey method, data were collected from 33 teachers as a saturated sample. A Likert scale (1–5) questionnaire was used to measure three variables: work ethics (X1), work-life balance (X2), and work productivity (Y). Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression via SPSS 27. Partial t-test results indicate that work ethics did not significantly influence productivity independently (t=1.680; p=0.103), whereas work-life balance had a positive and significant effect (t=4.519; p<0.001). Simultaneous F-test confirmed that both variables jointly exert a significant positive effect on teacher productivity (F=18.143; p<0.001). The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R²) of 51.7% demonstrates a substantial contribution. These findings suggest that school management policies should prioritize structured work-life balance programs to sustain long-term teaching effectiveness.

Analysis of The Common Size Method in Assessing The Financial Performance of Indonesian Syariah Bank
type: item
description: The purpose of this study is to analyze the financial statement structure of Bank Syariah Indonesia using the common size method. The method used in this study is quantitative, examining the financial performance of Bank Syariah Indonesia after analyzing its financial statements using the common size method, with profitability ratios measured by Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM). The results of the common size analysis of Bank Syariah Indonesia's balance sheet for the 2022–2025 period indicate that the bank's total assets showed significant growth from approximately IDR 305.73 trillion in 2022 to approximately IDR 456 trillion in 2025, indicating strong business expansion through increased financing and customer fundraising. In the asset structure, murabahah receivables and ijarah lease receivables remain dominant, although their percentages have decreased from 40.83% and 39.50% in 2022 to 32.73% and 31.77% in 2025, indicating the diversification of Islamic financing into other instruments as a source of bank asset growth. Meanwhile, based on the profit/loss statement and profitability ratio analysis, Bank Syariah Indonesia demonstrated a consistent and solid performance growth trend during 2022–2025, with fund management income as mudharib and other operating income increasing sharply from 2022 to 2025. A common-size analysis also shows that although third-party profit-sharing rights increased during this period, the contribution of the bank's own profit-sharing rights remained significant, while profitability ratios such as ROA, ROE, and NPM generally increased or remained healthy, reflecting operational efficiency, the bank's ability to utilize assets, and its effectiveness in generating net profit relative to equity during the period.

The Effect of ESG Score, Leverage, and Company Size on Company Value in the Financial Sector Listed on the IDX for the 2020–2024 Period
type: item
description: This study aimed to analyze the effect of ESG Score, Leverage, and Firm Size on Firm Value in financial sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020–2024. Firm value was measured using the Price to Book Value (PBV) ratio, leverage was measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), firm size was measured using the natural logarithm of total assets, and ESG Score was obtained from companies' sustainability reports. This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative method. The research population consisted of 45 financial sector companies, with a sample of 20 companies selected through purposive sampling, yielding 100 observation data. Secondary data in the form of annual financial reports and sustainability reports were obtained from www.idx.co.id. Panel data regression analysis was applied using EViews 9.0 software. Model selection results indicated that the Random Effect Model (REM) was the most appropriate model. The findings revealed that ESG Score, Leverage, and Firm Size had no significant effect on Firm Value, both partially and simultaneously. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.032833 indicated that only 3.28% of the variation in Firm Value was explained by ESG Score, Leverage, and Firm Size, while the remaining 96.72% was attributed to other factors not examined in this study.

Representation Of Tourism Product Attributes And Visit Intention Through Electronic Word Of Mouth: A Content Analysis Of Tourist Reviews Of Holbung Hill, Samosir
type: item
description: Holbung Hill is one of the leading nature-based tourism destinations in Samosir Regency that has gained increasing exposure through tourists’ online reviews. This study aims to analyze the tourism product attributes represented in online tourist reviews and to identify how electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) reflects tourists’ visit intention. A qualitative approach with content analysis was employed using 120 tourist reviews collected from Tripadvisor and AllTrails between January and June 2026. The data were analyzed through data reduction, thematic coding, categorization, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that natural attraction is the most dominant tourism product attribute, particularly the panoramic view of Lake Toba and the surrounding green hills, which constitute the destination’s primary competitive advantage. In contrast, amenities and accessibility remain the main weaknesses, as reflected in recurring complaints regarding the limited availability of sanitation facilities, insufficient supporting infrastructure, and slippery hiking trails during the rainy season. Furthermore, the analysis indicates a shift in the role of e-WOM, from providing practical travel information (informational warning) to serving as a promotional medium (promotional recommendation) that encourages potential visitors to visit the destination. Despite several negative reviews concerning facilities, visit intention is predominantly represented by tourists’ willingness to recommend the destination and their intention to revisit. These findings suggest that the outstanding natural attractions compensate for the limitations of amenities, thereby fostering positive perceptions and strengthening tourists’ visit intention toward Holbung Hill.

Marketing Mix-Based Business Development Strategy For Priti Batik Msmes In Jember Regency
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the implementation of marketing mix strategies (product, price, promotion, place), examine their influence on business performance, and identify their role in the development of SMEs, specifically Priti's Batik and Batik Sekar Arum in Jember Regency. This research employs a qualitative approach using thematic analysis method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving business owners as key informants. The results show that the marketing mix strategy implementation in both SMEs has been conducted but is not yet optimal. In terms of product, both businesses have strengths in quality and distinctive local motifs; however, innovation and brand identity development remain limited. Regarding pricing, strategies are primarily cost-based and adjusted to product quality. In promotion, digital media utilization is still not maximized, with marketing activities largely relying on direct selling and personal networks. In distribution, both SMEs mainly utilize direct channels with limited market reach. The marketing mix strategy significantly influences SME performance, particularly in increasing sales, expanding market reach, and strengthening customer relationships. The integrated marketing mix implementation also supports business development through product innovation, digital marketing utilization, and distribution channel expansion. This research is expected to serve as a reference for SME practitioners in formulating more effective marketing strategies. This study contributes by providing empirical insights into the application of marketing mix strategies in batik SMEs and their impact on business performance and development. It is expected to serve as a reference for SME practitioners in formulating more effective marketing strategies and for future researchers in expanding studies on SME marketing.

Analysis Of The Influence Of Business Location, Price Level And Operating Hours On The Income Of Street Vendors In Kwala Bingai Village, Stabat District, Langkat Regency
type: item
description: This study investigated the income of street vendors (PKL) in Kwala Bingai Village, Stabat District, Langkat Regency, based on business location, price level, and operating hours. This study was conducted using quantitative methods and an associative causality research design. This study involved 100 street vendors; 80 samples were selected using the Slovin formula with a 5% error rate. Questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation were the data collection methods. Data quality tests and classical assumption tests were conducted before using multiple linear regression for data analysis. With a calculated F value of 7.584 and a significance of 0.000 (<0.05), the results showed that business location, price level, and operating hours had a significant influence on PKL income. With a calculated t value of 4.285 and a significance of 0.000, business location had a partial effect on income, becoming the most dominant variable. Price level had an effect on income but was not dominant, and operating hours had no effect on income with a significance of 0.412 (greater than 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.280 indicates that these three variables account for 28% of the variation in income, while the remaining 72% is due to factors not included in the research model. According to this study, one of the main factors in increasing street vendor income is choosing a strategic business location.

Public Perceptions of E-Money and Cash Use in Buying and Selling Transactions in Community Economic Activities at the 23 Maret Market, Kotamobagu City
type: item
description: The purpose of this study is to analyze the public's perception of the use of e-money and cash in buying and selling transactions at the 23 March Market in Kotamobagu. This research uses a qualitative approach, with data collected thru interviews with key informants. The research results show a significant contradiction in perception between the two payment methods. In the use of e-money, the public perceives convenience in the form of physical practicality, but it is highly dependent on digital infrastructure. The main benefits lie in the accuracy of transaction values and automatic recording, while security is viewed as protection against physical crime. However, there are technical risks such as system crashes and human error that are the main concerns. In the use of cash, the community continues to maintain this method because it is considered to have ease without technical barriers, benefits in visual budget control, and provides full physical control that builds a sense of security. The risks of cash, such as pickpocketing or counterfeit money, are considered more rational and easier to anticipate compared to the abstract nature of cyber risks.
