The policy of educational autonomy through legal entity state universities is a very interesting issue. Universities have the authority to manage finances and collect additional income, specifically generated income. Its successful implementation also provides more significant income to everyone in the institution through greater incentives, thereby helping to improve the economic conditions of staff, institutions, and all academics. This study examines the empirical evidence of factors influencing university income-generating performance. This study presents the direct and indirect effects of staff awareness, staff participation, and top management support on income-generating performance. This research used a quantitative approach utilizing the structural equation model with WarpPLS. A questionnaire-based survey collected 111 valid responses. Surveys were distributed to the appointed persons in charge of each unit, faculty, and university. The results show that staff awareness influences top management support. Top management support also affects income-generating performance, so it impacts the role of top management support, which can mediate the influence of managers’ awareness on income-generating performance. On the other hand, staff participation cannot influence top management support and income-generating performance. This means that top management support cannot mediate the effect of staff participation on income-generating performance.
Economic developments and the increasing population have recently led to a rapid increase in the consumption of clean water. The objectives of this study are to analyze the management of available water and develop a model to support the distribution of rural water services. It was a qualitative study with informants from the manager and users of the Community Self-Help Group (CSHG) in Gunungpati District, Semarang. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations, and then processed using the Huberman data analysis technique. Physically, the water supply managed by CSHG was sufficient to fulfill the community needs. Every morning in a month produces more than 1,000 cubic meters of water to distribute to 150 households. Management could meet the water daily needs of the community in the dry and rainy seasons. They also perform intensive maintenance on water pumping machines and checking water capacity to be distributed to the public. The sustainability of the water supply in the CSHG depends on the participation of the community in protecting the environment. Community participation was elaborated from the sociological perspective that the basic elements of social life consisting of structure, culture, and processes in the realm of environmental communities.
The transition from offline learning to online learning needs to be researched comprehensively. Accounting lessons, which were originally conducted face-to-face, were finally conducted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examines online learning using google meet on communication skills, student engagement, and student self-efficacy. The subjects of this study were students who took public sector accounting courses in their second year of study. Data collection was carried out using a google form distributed in public sector accounting classes. Paired t-test was used to analyze 120 student responses. The findings show that students' communication skills in online learning are increasing. Students can express their opinions and ideas using oral, written, and group presentations. However, online learning did not contribute to student engagement and student self-efficacy. They do not have clear learning targets because they do not have the pressure to be involved in online classroom activities. This implies that students have not realized that they should be involved in online learning. Other causes include low supervision by lecturers, and low awareness of students to learn. In addition, students are also unsure of their ability to do academic assignments. Based on these findings, this study provides significant implications for students and lecturers in choosing and using more appropriate online learning strategies to improve communication skills, student engagement, and self-efficacy.
The business risks experienced by clean water companies include losses and decreased loyalty of water users. This risk occurs due to the absence of accountability, reliability, and transparency in sustainable clean water management. It can be overcome by implementing water accounting. This narrative review explains a sustainable water management model using a water accounting approach. The narrative review method consists of compilation, tabulation, comparison of research results, and summarizing. The literature review study collected articles from accredited journal sites (Sinta, Emerald, Science Direct). After searching for research keywords criteria, 29 articles were taken as samples. The results show that water accounting, in addition to reducing business risk for clean water service providers, also supports sustainable water management. Water accounting components such as gross inflow, net inflow, available water, water depletion, and outflow provide transparent and accountable information. The components of water accounting can analyze water use, scarcity, and productivity to predict the need for clean water because the amount of water discharge produced and used in one day can be known with certainty. Management and community commitment are needed to realize sustainable groundwater use conservation to ensure that the community enjoys the long-term supply of clean water.
Islamic banks in Indonesia (Bank Syariah Mandiri, BNI Syariah dan BRI Syariah) have merged in 2021 to become Bank Syariah Indonesai (BSI). This study aims to compare the practice of Islamic Governance Disclosure (IGD) of Idonesian Islamic banks before the merger period. A descriptive quantitative research approach was used in this research. The sampling method used was purposive sampling with the criteria of three Islamic banks that carried out a merger in 2021. Islamic banks which were the samples of this study were Bank Syariah Mandiri, BRI Syariah and BNI Syariah. The observation period is 5 years (2014-2018). The documentation method is used for data retrieval using the check list tool. Content analysis method is used to analyze the data that has been obtained. This method is used to determine the IGD index which consists of three main indices, namely the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) disclosure index, the DPS report disclosure index, and the zakat disclosure index. The results showed that the three Islamic banks had a fairly good IGD index for 3 years. Bank Syariah Mandiri and BNI Syariah show the highest and most consistent IGD index for five consecutive years compared to BRI Syariah. The IGD Index for Bank Syariah Mandiri and BNI Syariah are the same in 2015-2017. The IGD index of BRI Syariah has fluctuated over the past five years.
