This study investigated the behavior of investment decisions that were not only assumed on rationality but were also affected by other factors, such as psychological factors, one of which was financial literacy. There were so many causal studies of financial literacy and investment intentions. However, there were still issues of inclusion between studies. Therefore, this study adopted a theory of planned behavior, proposed as an explanatory model for investment intentions associated with financial literacy. By proposing attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control related to investment as a mediator of investment intention, the unit of analysis was students who were members of the capital market study group spreading across universities in Semarang. The sample used was 170 students conducted through a questionnaire survey, then analyzed descriptive statistics and SEM with the PLST Warp. The results showed that all variables, both attitudes, subjective norms, perceptions of behavioral control, significantly mediated the effect of financial literacy on investment intention in partial mediation. For future research, you can explore the variables of financial education as early predictors associated with this research model to get a holistic picture related to the effectiveness of student financial education.

This study aims to describe the results of evaluating the performance of school principals in implementing online learning policy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also develops a model for evaluating school principals' performance within the framework of online learning. The researchers used the perspective of public-school teachers (primary and secondary schools) to measure the performance of school principals in Central Java. The research respondents were 200 public school teachers. The principal is also a source of data in this study. Data collection methods were questionnaires and interviews. The researchers used descriptive analysis method to evaluate the principal's performance. The interactive analysis method was also used to develop a new model for evaluating principals' performance in the context of online learning. The results of the study indicate that the performance of principals in implementing online learning policy during the COVID-19 pandemic is high. The teacher considers the principal to fulfil 5 dimensions of performance measurement which include managerial dimension, supervision dimension, entrepreneurial dimension, social dimension, and personality dimension. Principals can manage their resources to implement government policy so that the implementation of quality online learning can be realized properly. The dimension of mastery of information technology should be added as an indicator for evaluating the performance of principals in online learning settings. In addition, many parties must be involved in evaluating the performance of the principal, including alumni, alumni users, parents, and other stakeholders. Thus, the principal's performance can be evaluated more comprehensively.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The greatest impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Indonesian education was the decline in teacher performance. In light of this information, this study analyzes the role of supervision, salary and benefits, school climate, training and development, and perceived organizational support in moderating the impact of competence on teacher performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study also compares the relationships between employed government and private teachers. Data were collected through questionnaires to teachers with a sample of 166 government teachers and 175 private teachers in primary and secondary schools through a Google form and analyzed using moderated Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS), multigroup, and multilevel analysis. The results showed that salary and benefits, training, and development did not affect the performance of public school teachers. In contrast, only salary and benefits did not affect teacher performance for private teachers. Moreover, only supervision significantly moderated the effect of competence on the performance of public school teachers. However, supervision, salary, benefits, school climate, training and development, and perceived organizational support did not affect private teachers' performance. The Ministry of Education or the Foundation needs to review and improve the mechanisms of training and development, supervision, and school organizational climate to promote optimal teacher performance during the pandemic.</p>

Berdasarkan observasi pendahuluan kepada dosen Fakultas Ekonomi Universitas Negeri Semarang mengungkapkan beberapa hal yang menurut mereka menjadi hambatan dalam melakukan kinerja penelitian diantaranya adalah batas waktu yang diberikan terlalu sempit sehingga mereka sering melakukan pekerjaan lembur untuk mengejar pencairan dana pengabdian dan penelitian. Kemunculan SIPP (Sistem Informas Penelitian dan Pengabdian) diharapkan memudahkan bagi para dosen untuk melaksankan kinerja penelitian. Dari fenomena tersebut, maka sangat menarik untuk dilhat bagaimana kesiapan belajar dosen terhadap SIPP berbasis pada model TAM (Technolgy Acceptance Model) dan kualitas layanan Gugus Penelitian dan Pengabdian. Satuan unit analisis peneliti, reviewer, dan operator, yang diambil sampel berdasarkan simple random sampling dan dianalisis deskriptif kemudian dimaknai. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ternyata dari kesiapan belajar dilihat dari persepsi daya guna memiliki kategori yang tinggi, sementara resiko yang dirasakan ketika beradaptasi sedang, sedangkan kemudahan dalam pemanfaatan juga tinggi. Hal tersebut memberikan makna bahwa SIPP tersebut dapat dipelajari oleh dosen Fakultas Ekonomi Universitas Negeri Semarang. Oleh karena itu, perlu dari kebijakan Fakultas untuk lebih mempermudah menu di sistem agar tidak menjadikan hambatan bagi para dosen.
