The way companies treat the environment needs to be seriously considered. In addition to the environment, they are also required to consider social aspects. This study examines the effect of green accounting and CSR disclosure on company value at PT Vale Indonesia for the period 2015-2024, with financial performance as a moderating variable. The research method used was a descriptive quantitative approach analysed with panel data regression via EViews 13, including t-tests, F-tests, and determination coefficients; variables were measured using the BL formula for X1, CSRI for X2, Tobin's Q for Y, and ROA for Z. The results show that CSR has a significant positive effect on company value, while green accounting is not significant, and financial performance moderation is not significant for both. The simultaneous effect is not significant. With these implications, mining companies are advised to prioritise CSR to increase market value via positive investor signals; green accounting needs to be better integrated with financial strategies; IDX regulators should encourage quality sustainable disclosure to reduce information asymmetry.</em></p>2026-04-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Lisa Puspa Dewi Mallo, Riyanti, Sofyan Syamsuddinhttps://equatorscience.com/index.php/jabter/article/view/578The Influence of Work Life Balance and Skill Mapping On The Performance of BPKAD Employees in Palopo City2026-02-08T14:15:12+00:00Yunita Salsa Saputriyunitasalsasaputri08@gmail.comHaedar Haedarhaedar@umpalopo.comIndra Kusdariantoindrkusdarianto@umpalopo.ac.id<p><em>The purposeof this study is to analyze the effect of Work Life Balance and Skill Mapping on Employee Performance at the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Palopo City.

The results indicate that green marketing has a positive and significant effect on the competitiveness of organic agricultural products. Similarly, distribution channels were found to have a positive and significant impact on competitiveness. In contrast, the 4P marketing mix does not have a significant partial effect on competitiveness. However, the three independent variables simultaneously have a significant effect on the competitiveness of organic agricultural products. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.395 indicates that 39.5% of the variation in competitiveness can be explained by green marketing, the 4P marketing mix, and distribution channels, while the remainder is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings underscore the importance of implementing green marketing strategies and effective distribution channel management to enhance the competitiveness of organic agriculture in Luwu Regency.</em></p>2026-04-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Auliyah Nur Faisal, Haedar, Altri Wahidahttps://equatorscience.com/index.php/jabter/article/view/595The Effect of Compensation and Work Environment on Employee Performance at PT Adira Finance Palopo Branch2026-03-25T22:40:48+00:00Satriani SatrianiStrianyyy@gmail.comIndra Kusdariantoindra.kusdarianto@gmail.comSaharuddin Saharuddinsaharuddin@umpalopo.ac.id<p><em>This study aims to investigate how compensation and work environment conditions affect employee performance at PT Adira Finance, Palopo Branch.

Indonesia is currently facing various structural difficulties, such as a shrinking middle class, increasing informal employment, rising taxes, changes in capital flows, and symptoms of deindustrialization. This situation can have an impact on the long-term health of the economy. This study aims to examine the ability of governance to influence sustainability trends in the context of economic pressures through the perspective of Resource-Based View (RBV). Using a conceptual-analytical approach based on macroeconomic secondary data from 2019 to 2025, this study shows that variations in sectoral and social group resilience are influenced by governance capabilities that serve as strategic resources at the national level. Governance asymmetry has led to a K-shaped pattern of sustainability, with some sectors showing adaptive resilience and others showing structural fragility. This research underscores the importance of policy coordination, implementation of structural adjustments, and strengthening of social protection systems to eliminate governance asymmetry and promote sustainable growth in a more open Indonesia. </em></p>2026-04-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 I Made Satyaguna, Dwi Cahyonohttps://equatorscience.com/index.php/jabter/article/view/585Factors Affecting The Quality of Regional Financial Statements of Luwu Regency2026-02-23T15:03:29+00:00Alya Safitrialyaasafitri27@gmail.comErniyati Carongeniningkopertis1981@gmail.comSultan Sultansultan@umpalopo.ac.id<p><em>This study aims to analyze the influence of understanding of Government Accounting Standards (SAP), the use of the Regional Financial Accounting Information System (SIAKD), internal control systems, and human resource competencies on the quality of regional financial statements.

NTP is used as an indicator of farmer welfare which reflects the comparison between the price index received by farmers and the price index paid by farmers. This research uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression methods and utilizes secondary time series data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency. The price fluctuation variable is proxied through the Price Index Received by Farmers, while production costs are proxied through the Price Index Paid by Farmers. The research results show that price fluctuations have a positive and significant effect on NTP, while production costs have a negative but not significant effect. Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect on NTP. These findings indicate that agricultural commodity price stability has an important role in improving farmer welfare. Therefore, price stabilization policies and controlling production costs need to be strengthened in order to maintain the sustainability of farmer welfare in South Sumatra Province. </em></p>2026-04-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Moh.
