Abstract - Most businesses are founded to achieve maximum profit. Almost all companies compete for maximum profits. Profit is the most important measurement tool for a company's success. A company's profitability is the outcome of a series of financial strategies and operational choices implemented by the organization. This study seeks to ascertain whether corporate social responsibility (CSR), sales growth, and firm size influence the firm's capital structure, with the firm's profitability as an intervening variable. This research focuses on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019-2022. This research is quantitative in nature. It includes manufacturing firms and employs purposive sampling as the sampling method. The data analysis involves path analysis, hypothesis testing, and coefficient of determination (R2) analysis using SPSS version 26.00 software. The findings indicate that corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sales growth do not influence capital structure, while company size significantly affects capital structure. Profitability, serving as an intervening variable, influences corporate social responsibility, sales growth, and company size, all of which significantly impact the company's capital structure.

Abstract— This study analyzed the effect of profitability, net working capital, cash conversion cycle, dividend policy, and leverage on cash holding in consumer goods industry companies’ period 2019-2021. Determining the optimal level of cash holding is essential for a company, as excessively high cash holding can result in missed investment opportunities and returns, while low cash holding can disrupt operational activities and debt default or bankruptcy. The sample in this study was taken using a purposive sampling method. The objects in this study are 20 consumer goods industry companies that were listed on the IDX consecutively during 2019-2021. Secondary financial report data was evaluated using multiple linear regression. The result of this research indicates that profitability (ROA), net working capital (NWC), and dividend policy (DPR) have a significant positive effect on cash holding, leverage (DTA) has a significant negative effect on cash holding, and cash conversion cycle (CCC) has no effect cash holding. According to the findings, profitability, net working capital, dividend policy, and leverage can be used as a point of reference to predict a company’s cash holding. We suggest the company more effectively and efficiently manage its assets to generate substantial profits and consequently optimize its cash holding. This study was conducted in the consumer goods industry sector, which had the greatest average level of cash holding. This research differs because it estimates cash holding by combining financial ratios primarily from an asset perspective and management policy (dividend policy).

Abstract— This research investigates further the moderating effect of self-esteem on gender relations on budgetary slack.This research examines the relationship between gender and budgetary slack. More than that, this study also analyzes the moderating effect of self-esteem on the relationship between gender and budgetary slack tendencies. During budgeting, subordinates try to avoid risks by doing budgetary slack. However, the perspective of gender socialization theory explains that there are differences in behavior in that women tend to avoid risks and are prone to depression compared to men. This study adds a new addition to budgetary slack literature based on informational characteristics attributes. Previous research on slack was limited and primarily focused on slack created by organizational factors. This study also enriches slack literature using an experimental design This study used an experimental method with a 2 x 2 factorial design between subjects and involved accounting students as participants. The findings show that slack tends to be more significant for male than female participants. The results of this study also show that self-esteem has a positive effect on budgetary slack tendencies. However, the research findings showed no interaction between the two variables. Differences in individual risk preferences concerning different genders are one of the primary keys to explaining the occurrence of dysfunctional behavior in activities that occur in organizations, especially when it comes to budgeting. This research implies that understanding individual personality based on gender is crucial in minimizing budgetary slack to determine the company. These findings can be considered regulators in designing effective control mechanisms by elaborating gender personality with individual self-esteem.

Abstract— Securities Crowdfunding (SCF) has the potential to grow in Indonesia as it is an alternative investment with calculated risks and consistent returns. However, there is a paucity of research predicting the investment intention of SCF, adding social media usage for informativeness and socializing to investigate further its effect on the intention to invest in SCF by utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). We conducted an online survey to collect the primary data from 200 respondents with financial knowledge and applied the PLS-SEM approach to further test the proposed hypothesis. The results suggest that social media usage for informativeness and socializing contributes to individuals’ perceived behavior control and subjective norms toward the intention to invest in SCF, respectively. This study proved that social media usage for socializing could influence in developing attitude of SCF investing intent. On the contrary, social media for informativeness negatively impacts the attitude toward the intention to invest in SCF. Hence, SCF platforms need to adjust strategies for leveraging social media to increase intention on SCF investment. Understanding these connections is crucial in comprehending how social media impacts financial decision-making processes for potential investors, particularly in the realm of SCF.
