The objective of the study is to assess the impact of circular economy practices on financial performance of construction enterprises in Vietnam. The study conducted a survey in 3 months using a survey resulting in 233 valid surveys representing 233 construction enterprises in Vietnam. Using Smart PLS 4.1 software to analyze data, the results show that circular economy practice positively impacts financial performance of circular economy construction and innovation enterprises that play a mediate role in the relationship between circular economy practice and financial performance. Finally, enterprise size has a role to play in moderating impact of circular economy practices on financial performance of construction enterprises in Vietnam.

This study uses the Resource-Based View (RBV) and technology, organization, and environment (TOE) theories to examine how smart supply chain (SSC) practices affect financial performance (FP) in enterprises of various sizes. Our results show that SSC benefits larger enterprises more financially than smaller firms. SSC has a statistically significant effect on green supply chain management (GSCM) and sustainable supply chain performance (SSCP), and the strength of the relationship declines with a decline in firm size. Smaller enterprises are more receptive to competitive pressure and implement GSCM alongside SSC. Our findings show that SSCP improves financial performance, while GSCM does not, even in large enterprises. Further, mediation effects show that GSCM mediates the relationship between SSC and SSCP, whereas it does not mediate between SSC and FP across all sizes. The impact of SSC on FP is sequentially mediated via GSCM and SSCP. Using a non-linear approach (ANN), we also rank independent variables for small, medium, and large firms. Our research provides important implications.

The research aims to examine the role of supply chain strategy on eco-friendly commodity products and competitive advantage to improve financial performance of plastic recycling industries, export commitments and circular economic regulations as an intervening variable to see whether it will be better. This research involved a saturated sample of 176 employees in plastic recycle industries. Quantitative analysis was carried out through a survey approach using questionnaires and the Smart-PLS model structural analysis method. The interesting finding of this study is the eco-friendly commodity supply chain strategic and competitive advantage of plastic recycling products has a positive effect to improve financial performance. The circular economy regulation has a positive support also in this effect as well without any export commitment to the Indonesia plastic recycling industry. The importance of optimizing local resources in the eco-friendly commodities as recycling products to become a competitive advantage will be potentially in the export market.

Financial performance is an evaluation of a company's assets, liabilities, equity, expenses, revenues, and profitability. This evaluation provides an overview of the company's overall financial health during a certain period. Resource Based Theory states several factors that can affect financial performance, namely intellectual capital and competitive advantage. This research was conducted with a quantitative approach. The observed population of this research is all BPRs in Bali Province which are still operating in 2017 - 2021. Determination of the sample in this study using the census method or saturated sample so that the sample used in this study was 133 BPRs in Bali Province. The analysis technique used in this research is path analysis with Eviews version 9.0 software. The test results show that intellectual capital has no effect on financial performance, intellectual capital has a positive effect on competitive advantage, competitive advantage has a positive effect on financial performance and competitive advantage is able to mediate the effect of intellectual capital on financial performance. The results of this study are expected to contribute to various interested parties, namely the development of Resource Based Theory as a theoretical benefit and BPR management, government, OJK, society and the banking industry as practical beneficiaries.

The economy of Bali heavily relies on the tourism sector, leading to economic vulnerability. There are numerous challenges in Bali's economy, with COVID-19 being one of the most prominent examples. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bali's economy experienced the deepest contraction and slowest recovery compared to other provinces in Indonesia. Amid this economic vulnerability, it is important to conduct research on the financial resilience of SMEs in Bali. This research aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy on financial resilience, as well as the mediating role of financial performance and fintech adoption on the impact of financial literacy on financial resilience among SMEs in Bali. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a sample of 177 SMEs in Bali, selected through non-probability sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with SEM-PLS in SmartPLS 3.0 program. The test results indicate that financial literacy has a positive and significant influence on financial resilience, financial performance, and fintech adoption. Financial performance and fintech adoption also have a positive and significant impact on financial resilience. Furthermore, financial performance and fintech adoption can partially mediate the influence of financial literacy on financial resilience in SMEs in Bali. The findings of this research are beneficial for the development of Knowledge-Based View theory and Technology Acceptance Model, as well as for SMEs in Bali and the government as policy makers in efforts to enhance financial resilience.

Several models have been developed to predict financial difficulties and corporate bankruptcy. In this research various models were employed, including the Altman model (referred to as the Z-Score), the Springate model (known as the S-Score), the Zmijewski model (designated as the X-Score), and the Grover model (referred to as the G-Score). These techniques serve the purpose of evaluating the likelihood of encountering financial difficulties, which in turn determines the probability of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk going bankrupt. The study utilized secondary data sourced from financial statements spanning the years from 2020 to 2022. The application of the Altman model for bankruptcy prediction revealed that PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero), Tbk experienced financial distress throughout the period from 2020 to 2022. According to the Springate model, the company was in a state of distress and declared bankruptcy in 2020 and 2022, while 2021 fell into a grey area. The Zmijewski model indicated that the company was on the brink of bankruptcy, with financial difficulties and a potential risk of bankruptcy within the next three years. Grover's model predicted bankruptcy for the company in 2020 and 2022, but indicated safety in 2021. Notably, the Taffler model emerged as the most accurate in forecasting bankruptcy, boasting a 100% accuracy rate with no errors. Meanwhile, the Zmijewski model achieved an 81.25% accuracy rate with an error rate of 18.75%, and the Springate model exhibited the lowest accuracy in bankruptcy prediction, scoring only 12.50% accuracy with an error rate of 87.50%.

This study examines how corporate governance dimensions relate to financial performance in Jordanian firms and whether ownership structure moderates these relationships. Quantitative analysis was conducted using secondary data on 69 companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange from 2017-2022. Multivariate regression tested effects of board, transparency, ethics, and compliance indices on performance measured by Tobin's Q, ROA, and ROE. Moderated regression analyzed the contingency role of ownership concentration. Board size, independence, transparency, ethical conduct and legal compliance had significant positive impacts on valuations and profitability, supporting agency and stakeholder perspectives. Ownership concentration strengthened board monitoring but dampened transparency effects. The findings highlight the importance of governance practices like board oversight, disclosure and ethics for improving Jordanian firms' performance. Ownership contingencies suggest adapting governance mechanisms to concentrated structures. This study provides rare empirical evidence on the under-researched Jordanian context. Examining interactive effects of ownership brings new insights regarding concentrated emerging markets.

Service quality plays an important role in the enhancement of the satisfaction level of customers or consumers and the financial performance of business organizations. Customers expect excellence in service quality and the gap between the expectations and availability of the services determines the level of the service quality of the business organizations. The primary objective of the study is to measure the service quality of Saudi Arabian banks. An online questionnaire containing SERVQUAL dimensions was administered, and responses were analyzed by applying the F test two sample variances, and rank correlation. Financial information extracted from the selected Saudi Arabian banks for the period 2018 to 2022 and ROA (return on assets) and ROE (return on equity) were calculated to get the financial performance. The combined study of rank analysis of financial variables and SERQUAL variables indicates that financial performance is positively and moderately governed by the Tangibility, Assurance, and Empathy dimensions of service. Overall, the expectations of the bank clients are higher than the availability of services in Saudi Arabian banks. There is a need to improve the Reliability and Responsiveness to enhance the level of service quality in Saudi Arabian banks.

This study aims at exploring the impact of the performance of supply chain dimensions (plan-based, source-based, make-based, delivery-based, and return-based performance) on the financial performance of industrial firms. Using a questionnaire, data were collected from a sample consisting of 250 supply chain and financial managers. Analysis data via IBM SPSS and AMOS, the results showed that hypothesized effects were supported except one hypothesis. That is, the results revealed that plan-based, source-based, make-based, and delivery-based performance have significant effects on firm’ financial performance. However, there was a significant negative effect of return-based performance on financial performance. The results concluded that firms should individually influence the supply chain dimensions to address the effects of their performance on financial performance.

Guaranteed interest is crucial in financial systems, boosting depositor confidence and impacting bank risk. The discussion about guaranteed interest has been thorough, focusing on the reassurance it provides to depositors and the risks it brings. Although it prevents bank running, it can also make depositors too relaxed, potentially causing future crises. Previous research has focused on established guaranteed interest schemes, but there is still a gap in understanding the impact of introducing guaranteed interest during a crisis. This paper explores the relationship between guaranteed interest and managerial behavior, customers, and performance of conventional and Islamic banking. The research design uses existing statistics, with data obtained from the publications of the Financial Services Authority and Bank Indonesia. The analysis uses VAR/VECM models, with results showing that the movement of guaranteed interest rates (both rupiah and foreign currency) has a dominant impact on conventional banking compared to Islamic banking, both on bank managerial behavior, customer behavior, and the performance of the bank itself. Specifically, the movement of the guaranteed interest will trigger the management of conventional banks to increase loan interest, while from the customer side they will ask for a higher yield (interest) on third part funds (TPF). As a result, these two things will lead to a negative outcome on the performance of the bank itself, especially on Net Interest Margin (NIM), Return on Assets (ROA), Operational Expenditure to Operational Income (BOPO), and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). In Islamic banks, the movement of the guaranteed interest also has an impact on the managerial behavior of the bank, customer behavior, and the performance of the bank itself, but the effect of the movement of the guaranteed interest is only small. Most of the growth in credit and deposits, fluctuations in financing margins and returns on deposits and dominant Islamic Financial Performance for Banking indicators are explained by factors other than movements in guaranteed interest rates.
