Reward and Performance: Why Social and Extrinsic Rewards Fail to Improve Job Performance?

Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of Total Reward on employee performance by integrating intrinsic, extrinsic, and social reward components within Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory framework. The motivation for this research comes from the gap in existing literature, which often emphasizes partial reward systems, while the holistic Total Reward perspective remains underexplored, particularly in the context of employee motivation and performance in Indonesia’s banking sector. Research Methodology: The study applied a survey method by distributing structured questionnaires to bank employees in Lampung Province, Indonesia. A simple random sampling technique was employed to ensure representativeness. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS, focusing on the second-order construct of Total Reward to test the effect of intrinsic, extrinsic, and social dimensions on employee performance. Results: The findings indicate that intrinsic rewards, such as recognition, responsibility, and personal growth opportunities, significantly improve employee performance. However, extrinsic rewards (salary, benefits, working conditions) and social rewards (relationships with colleagues and supervisors) did not show a significant influence. Conclusions: The study concludes that enhancing intrinsic rewards is a key driver for boosting employee performance in the banking sector. While extrinsic and social rewards remain necessary, they are insufficient without meaningful intrinsic motivators. Limitations: This study is limited to one province and a specific industry, reducing its generalizability. Contribution: The research contributes to HR management by demonstrating the strategic value of focusing on intrinsic rewards to foster sustainable performance improvements.

Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Perilaku Pembelian Produk Makanan Impor Berlogo Halal di Batam

Purpose: This study aims to identify the factors that influence purchase behavior, with a specific focus on how purchase intention acts as a mediator in this relationship. The study investigates the roles of brand trust, customer satisfaction, product attributes, and religiosity in shaping consumers' purchasing actions toward imported food products. Methodology/approach: The research was conducted using a quantitative approach through an online survey. A total of 309 respondents who had experience purchasing imported food products were selected using purposive sampling. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using statistical methods to assess the relationships between the variables. Results/findings: The results reveal that product attributes, brand trust, customer satisfaction, and religiosity significantly influence purchase intention. Furthermore, purchase intention positively and significantly affects purchase behavior. However, several variables, such as brand trust and customer satisfaction, showed directions of influence that were contrary to the initial hypotheses, suggesting the presence of contextual or external moderating factors. Conclusions: Purchase intention plays a crucial mediating role in linking key factors such as brand trust, satisfaction, attributes, and religiosity with actual purchasing behavior. Enhancing these factors can strengthen consumer intentions and lead to increased purchase activity. Limitations: he study is limited to consumers of imported halal-labeled food products in Batam and may not be generalizable to other age groups, regions, or product categories. Contribution: This research contributes to the field of consumer behavior and marketing by offering insights into the psychological and attitudinal factors that drive purchase behavior.

Organizational Culture and Career Development on Investigators’ Work Life Quality

Purpose: This study aims to analyze how organizational culture and career development affect the quality of work life of assistant investigators at the Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim) of the North Jakarta Metro Police. Research Methodology: A mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design was applied. Quantitative data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire with 45 items completed by 61 assistant investigators. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, producing the equation ? = 5.104 + 0.999X1 + 0.367X2 + e. Instrument testing, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing were conducted. To deepen the findings, qualitative data were obtained through observation, interviews, and literature studies. Results: The study found that the quality of work life had the highest mean score (4.01), followed by organizational culture (3.90) and career development (3.72). The adjusted R² of 0.850 indicates that organizational culture and career development together explain 85% of the variance in quality of work life. Organizational culture positively and significantly influences involvement and mission clarity but reveals weaknesses in digital adaptability. Career development also has a significant effect, though training access remains uneven. Conclusions: Both organizational culture and career development significantly enhance the quality of work life of assistant investigators, with culture being slightly more dominant. Limitations: This study was limited to one police unit and may not fully represent other contexts. Contribution: Contribution: This research guides police institutions to enhance culture, digital readiness, and fair career development.

Pengaruh Fluktuasi Volume Penumpang Berdasarkan Kategori Hari terhadap Pola Operasi LRT Jabodebek

Purpose: This study analyzes the impact of differences in passenger volume between weekdays and weekends on the operational patterns of the Jabodebek Light Rail Transit (LRT). The research aims to understand how fluctuations in passenger numbers influence service scheduling and resource allocation for urban mass transportation efficiency. Research Methodology: A quantitative approach was employed using descriptive analysis and non-parametric statistical testing to evaluate passenger volume data. The analysis focused on the period from November 2024 to April 2025. The Mann-Whitney U test was applied to compare weekday and weekend passenger volumes, which were found to fluctuate significantly—exceeding 50% differences between the two periods. Results: Statistical calculations revealed that the Mann-Whitney U test value was 0.000 (assumed 0.0001) with a Z-score of -11.221, and the significance value (Asymp. Sig 2-tailed) was also 0.000 (<0.05). These results indicate that the difference in passenger volume between weekdays and weekends is statistically significant. Conclusions: The findings highlight that the LRT Jabodebek operation pattern must differentiate between weekday, weekend, and special event (e.g., New Year’s Eve, national football matches) schedules to align with fluctuating passenger volumes. Limitations: The research was limited to six months of passenger data, which may not capture annual seasonal variations or special public holidays. Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of how passenger volume fluctuations influence operational patterns in urban mass transport systems. It offers practical recommendations for operators to design adaptive and cost-efficient service schedules that enhance service quality and passenger satisfaction.

Moderasi EPU pada Pengaruh NII terhadap Risiko Kredit Bank

Purpose: This study examines how non-interest income (NII) influences bank credit risk and how economic policy uncertainty (EPU) moderates that relationship Methodology/approach: Using panel data on ASEAN banks and a quantitative empirical approach, we include EPU as a moderating variable and control for the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), loan growth, and bank size Results/findings: The results indicate that higher NII significantly reduces non-performing loans, yet its protective effect weakens when EPU is elevated, suggesting that policy uncertainty erodes the risk-buffering benefits of income diversification. EPU itself directly increases credit risk, exposing banks to greater vulnerability during uncertain policy climates. CAR, loan growth, and bank size also exert significant effects on credit risk. Practically, banks should be more selective in pursuing non-interest revenue streams and reinforce credit-risk mitigation when policy uncertainty rises Conclusions: This study highlights the dual role of NII and EPU in shaping credit risk dynamics in ASEAN banks. While income diversification contributes to reducing credit risk, its effectiveness is contingent on the broader policy environment. Elevated policy uncertainty undermines the stabilizing effect of NII, thereby heightening banks’ vulnerabilities. Strengthening capital adequacy, prudent loan growth management, and strategic scaling remain essential for maintaining resilience. Policymakers and regulators should also recognize the destabilizing potential of policy uncertainty and design frameworks that foster clarity and stability in financial markets. Limitations: Future research could incorporate additional internal bank factors, qualitative insights, regulatory changes, and digitalisation trends. Contribution: This study enriches the empirical literature on income diversification and macroeconomic uncertainty within the ASEAN banking sector.

Kepuasan dan Loyalitas sebagai Mediator Experiential Marketing terhadap WOM

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to investigate how experiential marketing affects word-of-mouth (WOM), using customer loyalty and satisfaction as mediating factors. The research was conducted at Sastra Barbershop Payangan, representing the growing male grooming industry in Bali. Methodology: The research applied a quantitative approach using incidental sampling of 135 respondents, who were customers of Sastra Barbershop. Data were collected through questionnaires measured on a five-point Likert scale. Results: The findings show that experiential marketing has a positive and significant impact on customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and word of mouth. Customer satisfaction also positively affects customer loyalty and WOM, while customer loyalty significantly enhances WOM. Moreover, both customer satisfaction and customer loyalty partially mediate the relationship between experiential marketing and WOM, with a double mediation effect strengthening this relationship. Conclusions: This study concludes that experiential marketing is a critical driver in shaping customer behavior. By creating memorable experiences, barbershops can increase satisfaction, foster loyalty, and amplify WOM. The mediating roles of satisfaction and loyalty emphasize that experiential marketing does not work in isolation but operates through psychological and emotional bonds formed with customers. Limitations: This study was limited to one case, Sastra Barbershop Payangan, with 135 respondents. Thus, the findings may not be generalized across other service industries or regions. Contribution: This study contributes theoretically by reinforcing the role of experiential marketing in strengthening customer satisfaction, loyalty, and WOM within service marketing literature.
