The Sustainability Performance and Corporate Financial Stability in Malaysia: The Moderating Effects of Ownership Structures
Sustainability performance (SUSP) of the corporate sectors has increasingly gained attention among the market regulators and business stakeholders especially since the launching of the UN’s SDGs Agenda 2030 in 2015. Since then, many researches have been conducted to study the relationship between SUSP and corporate financial performance. However, there is scarce number of studies on the relationship between SUSP and corporate financial stability (CFS) and yet, the results are indecisive or inconclusive as revealed by the studies in the developed and other developing countries. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationships between the SUSP (ESG scores) and the CFS (Altman’s z-score) using the samples of 77 Shariah-compliant public listed companies in Malaysia. Additionally, this study examines the moderating effects of ownership structures (concentrated and managerial) on the SUSP-CFS nexus. The study spans from 2018 to 2023 with annual unbalanced panel data and employs the static panel analysis comprising the POLS, fixed and random effects estimations. The results prove that the environmental, social and governance performances have mixed relationships with the CFS in spite of insignificant results. Further, both ownership structures show significant moderating effects particularly on the environmental performance-CFS nexus. Meanwhile, the concentrated ownership reveals significant weakening effect on the social-CFS positive nexus. This study has policy and managerial implications, where it ignites the policy makers and corporate sectors to have concerted efforts in upholding the SUSP, strengthening the ownership structures and ultimately enhancing the CFS in Malaysia

Financial Reporting Integrity In Infrastructure Development: Implications For Sustainable Tourism And Community Empowerment
This study investigates the influence of tax planning, deferred tax assets, and profitability on earnings management in infrastructure sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023. As a sector that plays a vital role in supporting sustainable tourism and community empowerment through the development of basic infrastructure—such as transportation, utilities, and public facilities—the integrity of financial reporting in this sector holds strategic importance. Ensuring transparency in financial practices is essential for aligning infrastructure development with national economic recovery and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using a purposive sampling method, 42 companies were selected from an initial sample of 70 after removing outliers. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that only deferred tax assets have a statistically significant and positive effect on earnings management, suggesting the potential use of future tax benefits to manipulate reported profits. In contrast, tax planning and profitability were found to have no significant effect. Simultaneously, the three variables did not significantly influence earnings management, as indicated by a p-value above 0.05. The Adjusted R² value of 0.040 suggests that the model explains only 4% of the variation in earnings management, highlighting other influencing factors such as corporate governance, audit quality, or regulatory compliance. These findings underline the critical need for financial reporting integrity in infrastructure investments, particularly in regions where tourism is a key driver of inclusive development. Transparency and accountability are essential to maintain public trust and ensure that infrastructure development contributes to long-term sustainability and equitable community outcomes. Future research should explore additional variables to understand better the dynamics of earnings management and how financial practices in infrastructure firms can either support or hinder local contributions to global development goals

Financing Sustainable Tourism In An Aging Society: Esg Investment Spillovers From Japan To Global Markets
Japan’s transition into a super-aged society presents urgent fiscal and sustainability challenges, particularly in financing inclusive sectors such as healthcare, tourism, and infrastructure. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments are increasingly seen as a strategic avenue for mobilizing capital aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study investigates volatility spillovers and co-movement dynamics between the FTSE4Good Japan Index, Japan’s main equity index, and selected global ESG benchmarks (US, UK, EU, Malaysia, Developed Markets) using the MGARCH-DCC model and daily data from January 2015 to May 2025. By comparing ESG and conventional indices, the analysis identifies differentiated correlation patterns and selective integration with global markets, particularly during periods of heightened uncertainty. Japanese ESG assets demonstrate weaker co-movement with specific regions such as the UK, EU, and Malaysia, indicating potential diversification benefits. These findings offer insights into the evolving role of ESG capital in Japan’s financial landscape and underscore its potential to support regional SDG-oriented initiatives, especially in ASEAN, through sustainable and demographic-aligned investments in sectors like healthcare and regenerative tourism.

Socioemotional Wealth, Bequest Motives, And Owner Tenure: A Conceptual Framework For Succession Intentions In Family Businesses
Family businesses play a significant role in economic development and in each national economy. However, these businesses often face challenges in maintaining longevity and survivability beyond the first generation. The objective of this conceptual paper is to identify the influence of Socioemotional Wealth (SEW) through the FIBER dimension and bequest motives on the succession intentions of the family business owners. Specifically, this conceptual paper seeks to identify the influence of the family business owners’ affective needs and motives behind their intergenerational transfer of assets and shares on the succession intentions to the next generation. Owners who prioritise the preservation of SEW and possess motives for dynastic intergenerational transfer are likely to have higher succession intention to ensure the power and benefits retain within the family. Therefore, bequest motives are proposed as a mediator between the SEW and succession intention as well. The owner tenure acts as the moderator between the SEW and succession intention. Owners with long tenure may get used to the power and influence over the family business, leading to lower succession intention despite seeking to preserve the family business within the family. Therefore, this conceptual framework seeks to understand the factors influencing the succession intention from the perspective of owners’ affective needs and economic justification behind making intergenerational transfer

The Impact Of Participatory Budgeting On Managerial Performance: The Role Of Organizational Commitment, Organizational Culture And Leadership Style As Moderating Variables
This research explored the impact of participatory budgeting on managerial performance, with organizational commitment, organizational culture, and leadership style as moderating variables. A quantitative method is used for this research. The sample determination was done using the purposive sampling. The sample in this study was 66 respondents from OPD in Metro City. The analysis method used is Moderated Regression Analysis using the SPSS software. The results of this research show that participatory budgeting has an effect on managerial performance. Organizational commitment is found to moderate the relationship between participatory budgeting and managerial performance, while organizational culture and leadership style do not moderate this relationship. This research indicates that managers who are highly involved in the budgeting process will better understand the objectives of the budget. Since managerial performance is evaluated based on the achievement of budget targets, managers will take the budgeting process more seriously, leading to improved performance. The study also indicates that only the organizational commitment variable contributes to improving the managerial performance of those involved in budgeting. The expected contribution of this research is to assist institutions in their efforts to enhance managerial performance

Effects Of Profitability, Liquidity & Credit Risk On Asean-6 Banks’ Capital Structure: Covid-19 As Moderator
This study investigates the effect of profitability, liquidity, and credit risk on commercial banks' capital structure in ASEAN-6 countries, with COVID-19 as a moderating factor. Using 615 panel data points from 109 commercial banks across six ASEAN countries over the 2018–2023 period. The analysis employs a multiple regression and moderated regression analysis, with external controls include bank size, asset growth, inflation, and GDP growth. Results show credit risk and liquidity have a significant negative effect on capital structure, while profitability, COVID-19 pandemic, and their interaction with the key determinants are not significant. These outcomes align with Pecking Order Theory, suggesting that higher liquidity leads banks to rely less on external debt. This is particularly evident as increases in the Loan to Deposit Ratio diminish liquidity, thus influencing the banks' capital decisions.

The Impact of Mergers and Acquisitions on the Profitability of Acquiring Banks
This study aims to evaluate the impact of cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) on the profitability of acquiring banks in the ASEAN region. Profitability is measured using three primary indicators: Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Interest Margin (NIM). The data are derived from the financial statements of acquiring banks that engaged in cross-border M&A activities during the period 2016–2021 and are analyzed on a quarterly basis to obtain a more in-depth understanding of the dynamics of financial performance changes. The analytical methods employed include paired sample t-tests and multiple linear regression. The findings indicate an average decline across all three profitability indicators following the implementation of M&A transactions. However, each indicator exhibits a different level of statistical significance, suggesting that the impact of cross-border M&A on profitability is not homogeneous. These results underscore that the success of post-merger integration is influenced by several factors, including the firm’s ability to realize operational and financial synergies, the optimization of strategic resources acquired from the target entity, and the capacity to adapt to regulatory differences and institutional norms in the host country.
Designing Inclusive Public Spaces: The Role Of Local Creative Events In Supporting Jakarta's Creative Economy & Tourism
This paper explores the intersection of local creative event, public space, and the growth of the creative economy and tourism in Jakarta. Drawing from insights presented in the 9th Webinar Bicara Kota 2024 by Office of Public Works, Human Settlements and Spatial Planning of Jakarta (DCKTRP DKI JAKATA), this study analyzes the role of local creative events in enhancing economic participation, tourism, and inclusive urban culture. With contributions from stakeholders in government, entrepreneurship, and event organizing, the discussion highlighted Jakarta's evolving landscape of creative markets and the regulatory and experiential frameworks supporting them. Employing a qualitative methodology with inductive thematic analysis, this research synthesizes webinar discourse and supporting literature to extract patterns in policy, design practices, and micro-entrepreneurial experiences, and addresses a gap in the literature on how experience design in public urban events contributes to both Jakarta’s creative economic and tourism growth, also inclusive city-making. The paper argues that intentional experience design within public space-based events can strengthen community engagement, empower local micro-enterprises, and foster sustainable tourism. Recommendations are offered for policymakers, event planners, and MSME to align creative event strategies with broader economic and cultural goals

The novelty of this study lies in providing empirical evidence on the impact of ESG disclosure in the Indonesian tourism sector, highlighting the importance of sustainability practices in enhancing company profitability.
A Systematic Literature Review: Exploring The Impact Of Inclusive Leadership On Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion (DEI) In Hybrid Teams
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), the concepts and practices that organizations use to recognize and value differences among people, ensure that everyone has fair opportunities, and create a work environment where everyone feels welcome and respected, have become strategic imperatives across industries. Hybrid teams are work-groups composed of office employees and remote employees. As the rise of hybrid teams presents opportunities and challenges for organizations committed to promoting DEI, this systematic literature review explores one solution: inclusive leadership and its role in promoting DEI in hybrid teams—a timely intersection of research that is particularly prominent in the post-pandemic era. This study synthesizes and evaluates current academic research based on social identity theory and leader-member exchange theory. This review follows a structured approach based on PRISMA guidelines, including planning, screening, and analysis stages. Research shows that inclusive leaders can bridge the physical and psychological gaps between employees, ensure that team members feel valued and engaged no matter where they are, and enable both remote and on-site members in hybrid teams to have a fair voice and enhance a sense of belonging, effectively promoting the achievement of DEI goals. This review contributes to the literature by constructing a conceptual framework that links inclusive leadership practices to DEI outcomes in hybrid teams

Enhancing Performance Through Perceived Organizational Support: The Mediating Role Of Organizational Citizenship Behavior In Indonesia’s Civil Service
This study examines how employee performance in Indonesia's public service is affected by perceived organizational support (POS), with a focus on the mediating function of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Despite various reform efforts, a significant portion of Indonesia’s civil servants continue to exhibit low performance due to factors such as weak motivation, lack of discipline, and minimal engagement. These challenges highlight the need to explore behavioral and psychological drivers of performance beyond technical interventions. Using a quantitative methodology, information was gathered from 344 employees at the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) and the model was tested using a Structural Equation Modeling approach. A six-item version of the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support (SPOS) was employed to measure POS. OCB through altruism, conscientiousness, sportsmanship, and performance via four government-aligned indicators: quality, quantity, timeliness, and effectiveness. Results demonstrate that POS positively and significantly impact OCB and employee performance. Furthermore, OCB mediates the relationship between POS and employee performance. This finding indicates that supportive organizational environments foster proactive and voluntary behaviors that contribute to improved performance outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of psychological and behavioral dynamics in improving civil service performance. This study offers a novel contribution by integrating POS and OCB within a bureaucratic context, an area rarely addressed in prior research. It advances a holistic model of employee performance applicable to hierarchical public institutions and provides practical insights for public sector leaders aiming to improve service delivery through organizational support
