Organizational Culture and OCB in Enhancing Employee Performance: A Southeast Asia Review
This systematic review examines how organizational culture shapes Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) and influences employee performance in Southeast Asian workplaces. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, fifteen empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025 were analyzed to identify patterns across cultural and institutional contexts. The review highlights that organizational culture functions as a structural and psychological framework that encourages prosocial behavior, cooperation, and mutual trust. Cultures emphasizing collectivism, shared values, and transformational leadership tend to strengthen key OCB dimensions such as altruism, conscientiousness, and civic virtue, which subsequently enhance employee performance. In contrast, highly hierarchical and bureaucratic cultures restrict discretionary behavior, limiting innovation and initiative, particularly in Brunei, Laos, and parts of Myanmar. Comparative findings indicate that Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines have begun integrating collectivist norms with participative management practices, resulting in stronger organizational commitment and adaptive performance. The review demonstrates that OCB operates as a behavioral mechanism through which cultural values translate into measurable performance outcomes, suggesting that effective organizational cultures in Southeast Asia balance social harmony with empowerment and openness to change

Influence of Financial Literacy and Behavioral Bias on Wealth Management Decisions at BRI Jabodetabek
The growth of the wealth management industry in Indonesia continues to accelerate in line with increasing public awareness of long-term financial planning and asset management. However, investment decision-making among bank customers often deviates from rational behavior due to the influence of financial literacy and behavioral biases. This study aims to explore the influence of financial literacy and behavioral bias on the purchase decisions of wealth management products among affluent customers of Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) in the Jabodetabek area. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with affluent clients and wealth managers at BRI Priority and BRI Private units. The findings reveal that despite a relatively high level of financial literacy, investment decisions are still shaped by psychological factors such as overconfidence, herding, and loss aversion. Overconfidence leads to excessive risk-taking, herding arises from social influence, while loss aversion encourages conservative choices. Financial literacy serves as a moderating factor that mitigates the negative effects of behavioral bias on investment decisions. This study highlights the importance of contextual financial education and behavioral advisory strategies within BRI’s wealth management services and strengthens the application of Behavioral Finance Theory in the Indonesian banking context.

Leadership Dynamics and Their Influence on MSME Credit Quality in Indonesian Banking
This study explores how different leadership styles influence the quality of micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) loans, focusing on Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratios within Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) Regional Office 10, Semarang. Using the Full Range Leadership Model (FRLM), the research investigates the effect of transformational, transactional, and delegative leadership on credit outcomes in a highly regulated banking environment. Data were collected from branch managers and credit officers through structured surveys and operational NPL performance reports from 2021–2024. Statistical analysis indicates that transformational leadership enhances team motivation and ethical discipline, thereby improving loan repayment behavior. Transactional leadership strengthens compliance and monitoring through contingent rewards and corrective feedback, leading to lower NPL ratios. Conversely, delegative leadership, characterized by minimal supervision, correlates with weaker control and increased NPL risk. The study emphasizes that transactional leadership has the strongest negative relationship with NPL levels. These findings contribute to the integration of leadership theory into financial risk management and provide insights for leadership development, human capital strategies, and regulatory governance in the Indonesian banking sector.

Integrating ESG, Applied Tax Ethics, and Digitalization in Corporate Financial Strategy: A Systematic Review
This review examines the intersection of corporate financial strategy, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, ethical tax planning, and digitalization. Amid digital transformation, the central question is how firms align financial decisions with sustainability and innovation for long-term value. To address this, the study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), synthesizing 63 Scopus-indexed Q1/Q2 articles (2015–2025). Using thematic analysis, the review identifies four core themes: strategic financial-ESG alignment, the highly contested relationship between ethical tax planning and CSR transparency, the impact of digital decision-support tools, and sectoral and regional differentiation. The synthesis reveals two critical findings: first, the literature is fundamentally divided on whether ESG performance reduces tax avoidance (ethical alignment) or increases it (greenwashing). Second, digitalized tax administration (Big Data) is emerging as a significant external mechanism that inhibits corporate tax avoidance. This synthesis highlights current fragmentation and clarifies the need for holistic frameworks integrating ESG, taxation, and digitalization to advance sustainable financial strategies in the digital era.

Structural Reorganization and Credit Growth in Commercial Banking: A Systematic Literature Review
This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA 2020 guidelines to examine how structural reorganization influences credit growth performance in commercial banking. Searches were carried out in Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for peer‐reviewed articles published between 2010–2025 using keyword combinations related to “organizational restructuring,” “commercial banking performance,” “credit growth,” and “risk governance.” Inclusion criteria required a banking context, empirical or conceptual links to lending performance or risk, and sufficient methodological detail; studies outside the banking sector or unrelated to performance outcomes were excluded. From 264 records identified, 25 studies met eligibility after screening and quality appraisal. Thematic synthesis reveals four reinforcing mechanisms—structural realignment, human‐capital capability, business–risk coordination, and governance under macroprudential conditions—through which reorganization accelerates decision cycles, improves relationship manager productivity, and supports credit growth while maintaining portfolio quality. The review integrates these mechanisms into a conceptual model linking structural redesign to lending outcomes and proposes measurable indicators such as turnaround time (TAT), RM adoption, and NPL ratios. This study contributes by consolidating organizational design and credit governance perspectives in emerging‐market banking and offering testable propositions for future longitudinal research.

Servant Leadership and Sustainable Employability: Influence on Generation Z in the Digital Industry
This quantitative investigation centres on the complexities of cultivating and sustaining Sustainable Employability (SE) among Generation Z personnel operating within the highly dynamic and demanding Digital Industry. Utilizing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the study analyzed data collected from Gen Z employees in this sector. The principal objective was to assess the direct impact of Servant Leadership (SL) on SE, alongside the hypothesized mediating role of Psychological Safety (PS) and the moderating influence of Psychological Capital (PsyCap). The core findings confirm that SL has a significant, positive effect on SE. A critical result reveals the substantial mediating effect of PS, which transmits the positive association between SL and SE. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that PsyCap significantly strengthens (moderates) the positive relationship between PS and SE. These outcomes suggest that SL's effectiveness in promoting SE among Gen Z is fundamentally contingent upon the establishment of a psychologically secure work environment. Critically, this positive influence is substantially amplified when employees possess robust internal resources, particularly PsyCap. The study's most salient theoretical contribution is the development of a model that empirically validates PS as an essential transmission mechanism and PsyCap as a necessary amplifier for Gen Z’s adaptation and resilience in the digital environment.

Key drivers of corporate governance influencing firm performance: capital structure's mediating role
This study explores whether capital structure mediates the relationship between corporate governance and firm performance in Indonesia’s non-financial sector. The primary question is: How does capital structure influence the link between corporate governance mechanisms and company performance? Following the 1998 Asian financial crisis, corporate governance became critical for ensuring financial stability and shareholder interests, with capital structure—debt and equity mix—playing a pivotal role in firm outcomes. The research fills a gap by examining this mediation effect, using data from 15 non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021, sourced from financial statements. Findings indicate that corporate governance factors—board independence, board size, and audit committee—significantly influence both capital structure and firm performance, measured by return on assets (ROA). However, gender diversity shows no significant impact on either. Notably, capital structure does not mediate the relationship between corporate governance and performance, suggesting direct governance effects dominate. The article discusses these results through agency and stewardship theories, analyzing regression models via Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Sobel tests. Key findings highlight the importance of board independence, size, and audit committees in enhancing performance, while capital structure’s negative association with performance underscores debt-related risks. This study contributes to understanding governance dynamics in emerging markets, offering insights for policymakers to strengthen corporate governance practices without relying on capital structure adjustments.

Despite extensive research on social media’s role in knowledge dissemination, its application in development communication and social transformation remains underexplored. This systematic literature review employs the PRISMA protocol to analyze 57 articles sourced from Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, using Boolean keyword combinations. Data were qualitatively analyzed with NVIVO 12 Plus and Microsoft Excel 2021. Findings reveal that quantitative approaches dominate, with health and education sectors being the primary focus, and the public as the main research subject. Most studies are conducted in developed countries, and Facebook emerges as the most studied platform. The review identifies diverse research types based on motivation, data collection methods, and variable roles, alongside various theories and variables applied. Key findings highlight research gaps, such as limited exploration of qualitative and mixed-method approaches, underrepresented sectors like agriculture, and understudied platforms like YouTube and TikTok. The study underscores the need for further investigation into developing countries and less-examined subjects like farmers and experts to enrich understanding.

Integrating sustainable development into blended efl education in Indonesia: practical strategies and recommendations
This study explores how sustainable development can be integrated into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education in Indonesia through a blended learning approach, addressing the question of how Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can enhance sustainable EFL teaching. In the context of globalization, where English serves as a critical tool for international communication and collaboration, the research emphasizes the need for Indonesian EFL educators to embed sustainable development goals (SDGs) into their curricula to equip students with skills for real-world problem-solving. The study plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap in understanding sustainability within EFL education, particularly in developing nations like Indonesia, where awareness of sustainable development is limited among educators. Through a comprehensive library research method, the study synthesizes existing literature on sustainability, EFL instruction, and blended learning to propose a culturally relevant framework. Key findings highlight the potential of ICT-optimized blended learning to foster critical thinking, global communication, and cultural awareness among students, aligning with SDGs. The article discusses practical strategies, such as leveraging accessible technologies like WhatsApp and designing culturally sensitive learning management systems, to implement sustainable EFL education. The main outcome is a context-based, culturally appropriate blended learning framework that offers actionable recommendations for sustainable EFL practices, applicable in Indonesia and similar sociocultural contexts, with implications for enhancing educational equity and global competence.

Leveraging marine geospatial data to optimize fad placement for enhancing north gorontalo's coastal economy
This study explores how marine geospatial data can optimize Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) placement to balance sustainable fisheries and economic benefits for North Gorontalo's coastal communities. In the Sulawesi Sea, part of Fisheries Management Area 716, FADs boost fish catches but risk overfishing and environmental harm if poorly managed. Issues like FADs being lost to strong currents, such as the "knife current," further complicate their use. This research employs geospatial tools, including ocean current modeling, potential fishing zone analysis, sea depth evaluation, and restricted zone identification, to recommend optimal FAD locations. It also assesses the economic impact of FADs on local communities. The methodology integrates spatial and ex-ante analyses, using data from on-site surveys and hydrodynamic modeling to classify FAD placement suitability into three categories: low (Class 1), medium (Class 2), and high (Class 3). Findings reveal 5 FADs in low-recommendation areas, 27 in medium, and 6 in high-recommendation zones. The study highlights that FADs significantly support the local economy, with pelagic fish constituting 83.37% of the 2021 catch (21,535,604 kg). By adhering to regulations and leveraging geospatial insights, optimal FAD placement can minimize losses, enhance yields, and sustain long-term economic benefits for North Gorontalo's coastal communities. The discussion emphasizes aligning FAD deployment with fishery potential and regulatory compliance to ensure sustainability

Fostering sustainable higher education through community-driven rural development and entrepreneurial engagement Fostering sustainable higher education through community-driven rural development and entrepreneurial engagement
This study explores how higher education institutions (HEIs) can enhance community development and environmental sustainability by integrating entrepreneurial-focused programs into their curricula, addressing the question: How can collaborative efforts among lecturers, students, and communities foster sustainable empowerment? In Indonesia, where HEIs are pivotal in national development, community engagement often remains a formality rather than a strategic priority. This research investigates the impact of entrepreneurial-oriented community development on student learning and societal outcomes, using an action research approach to generate actionable knowledge. The study focuses on the Rural Community Development Program (RCDP) at ABC University (a pseudonym), a curriculum-based initiative that promotes entrepreneurship through partnerships with rural communities. Data were collected through student reports, interviews with stakeholders (e.g., university staff, students, and village partners), and participatory observation. The article discusses the RCDP’s dual simultaneous cycle model, which facilitates knowledge transfer, social value exchange, and business development. Key findings reveal that the RCDP enhances students’ practical learning by engaging over 100 student groups in real-world business support, improving rural entrepreneurs’ business knowledge in areas like strategy, marketing, and finance.
