Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between board capital and firm earnings quality with different controlling shareholders for a sample of 252 listed firms in Indonesia over the period 2011–2017. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a two-step dynamic generalized method of moments panel regression to estimate the board capital effect on earnings quality. The board capital measure is constructed from educational capital, networking capital and experience capital. Meanwhile, discretionary accrual is used as the proxy for earnings quality. All financial data is from the annual report. Board capital data is a combination of an annual report, RelSci data, Linkedin searching and Bloomberg data. Findings The findings of this study report that board capital has a significant effect on earnings quality. Higher board capital may result in better earnings quality. In further investigation, this study finds that firms with higher education backgrounds tend to have better earnings quality. Meanwhile, firms with higher experienced board members tend to have bad earnings quality. Additionally, networking capital does not have any impact on earnings quality. The findings of this study also document a strong size effect of controlling shareholders in moderating the relationship between board capital and earnings quality. Research limitations/implications This study contributes to upper-echelon, institutional, positive accounting and agency theory. It implies that agency cost plays an important role in that relationship. In a more deep analysis, this study records different board capital effects on earnings quality across controlling shareholders. Practical implications Shareholders should elect board directors following their competencies and should note that not all competencies will give a quality earning report. The educational background of board members will enhance earnings quality, but the experience of a board member will reduce the earnings quality. Further, the relationship between board capital and earnings quality is significantly moderated by controlling shareholders, implying that different controlling shareholders need different board capital. Originality/value This study examines board capital effects on earnings quality with different controlling shareholders using four major theories. The board capital measure is tedious and detailed allowing to capture the comprehensive human capital.

Human capital effects have been ignored as important resources to induce the organization’s performance in firm-level research. The proponents of human capital theory and resource-based view theory argue that the human resources attached to each board member, such as networking, education, and experience, might induce the performance. Yet, agency theory argues those strategic resources might bring higher transaction costs and entrenchment costs. Therefore, this study aims to examine the board's capital effect on firm performance for a sample of 252 listed firms in Indonesia over 2011–2017. Using dynamic GMM panel regression, we confirm the hypothesis about board capital and performance. The results imply that board members’ networking and experience are two important factors for firm performance. However, boar members’ education does not give any impact. It confirms prior theories whereby the capability and competency of directors are an important source for the firm to achieve its objective. Networking and experience might help the firm to avoid financial distress. It furthers implies that shareholders should choose board members with a high level of networking and experience, not education.

The resarch is to analyze the impact of financial knowledge, financial management behavior, and personal income on investment decision of the employees of PT. Industri Jamu dan Farmasi Sido Muncul Tbk. This study is also to analyze moderating effect of employee’ characteristics in relation to financial knowledge and financial management behavior and personal income to investment decision of the employees. Based on purposive sampling and questionnaire, the study results in financial knowledge, financial management behavior, and personal income have positive impact on investment decision of the employees. However, employee’ characteristics do not show moderating effect in relations to financial knowledge and management behavior and personal income to investment decision of the employees. The results inidicate that emloyees’ characteristics (risk taker or risk adverse) weaken the influence of financial knowledge, financial management behavior, and personal income to investment decision of the employees.

This study analyzes the effect of financial performance and firm value on stock price performance with corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance as a moderating variable. This research is important because before investing investors will do the valuation in advance, this is in line with the theory of valuation which states that the valuation is done on assets invested, where the assets invested can be in the form of real assets and financial assets (Manurung, 2011). Financial assets in this case are stocks. Assessment of stock price movements in a stock exchange is influenced by several factors, both internal and external factors (Lako, 2004). The main focus in this research is on internal factors of company especially financial performance (QR, DAR, ROA, and TATO), and firm value (PBV). Stock price performance is proxied with stock return and CSR performance is proxied with CSR cost ratio. By using sample of manufacturing company listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2010-2015, this research obtained result indicate that (1) TATO and ROA have a significant positive effect to stock return, (2) DAR and QR have positive and not significant On stock returns, (3) the value of companies proxied by PBV has a negative and insignificant effect on stock returns. While the influence of CSR performance as a moderating variable can only moderate the TATO relationship to stock returns. Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh kinerja keuangan dan nilai perusahaan terhadap kinerja harga saham dengan kinerja corporate social responsibility (CSR) sebagai variabel pemoderasi. Penelitian ini penting dilakukan karena sebelum berinvestasi investor akan melakukan valuasi terlebih dahulu,hal ini sejalan dengan teori valuasi yang menyatakan bahwa valuasi dilakukan atas asset yang diinvestasikan, dimana aset yang diinvestasikan bisa berupa aset riil dan aset finansial (Manurung,2011). Aset finansial dalam hal ini adalah saham.Penilaian pergerakan harga saham di suatu bursa efek dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, baik faktor internal maupun eksternal (Lako, 2004). Fokus utama dalam penelitian ini adalah pada faktor internal perusahaan khususnya kinerja keuangan (QR, DAR, ROA, dan TATO), dan nilai perusahaan (PBV). Kinerja harga saham diproksikan dengan return saham dan kinerja CSR diproksikan dengan rasio biaya CSR. Dengan menggunakan sampel perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) selama 2010-2015, penelitian ini memperoleh hasil yang menunjukkan bahwa (1) TATO dan ROA berpengaruh signifikan positif terhadap return saham, (2) DAR dan QR berpengaruh positif dan tidak signifikan terhadap return saham, (3) nilai perusahaan yang diproksikan dengan PBV berpengaruh negatif dan tidak signifikan terhadap return saham. Sedangkan pengaruh kinerja CSR sebagai variabel pemoderasi hanya mampu memoderasi hubungan TATO terhadap return saham
