The present paper aims to examine and analyze: 1) the effect of farmers’ work motivation on their performance; 2) the effect of information technology on farmers’ performance; 3) the effect of farmers’ work motivation on their performance as moderated by local knowledge; and 4) the effect of information technology utilization on farmers’ performance as moderated by local knowledge. Our study population comprised of all farmers registered as members of farmer association in Tirtomartani Village, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. We adopt cluster random sampling as the sampling method and use a sample of 102 respondents. Data were collected using a four-point Likert scale and analyzed using smartPLS 3.0. The results indicate that: 1) work motivation had a positive effect on farmers’ performance; 2) utilization of information technology had a positive effect on farmers’ performance; 3) local knowledge did not moderate the relationship between work motivation and farmers’ performance; and 4) local knowledge moderated the relationship between utilization of information technology and farmers’ performance.

This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of the Investment Opportunity Set (IOS) on the corporation funding policies and also finds out whether or not the institutional ownership moderates the role of family ownership on IOS and company funding policies. The population includes all go-public companies listed on the IDX over the period 2008-2016. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling method. The processing data used regression equations with panel data models and Eviews analysis tools. The results show that IOS had a negative effect on the funding policies. This makes the company with a lower debt to equity ratio on its capital structure policy to use the equity financing to reduce the agency problems. Institutional ownership moderates the influence of IOS on the funding policies. This proves that the institutional ownership balances need to replace the role of debt in monitoring the managers and reducing the agency problems in the company. The family ownership does not moderate the influence of IOS on the funding policies because in the ownership, the family tends to take opportunities for the personal interests and form a weak ownership structure so that the agency problems rises and disrupts the company performance.
