The Effect of Job Demands on Turnover Intention with Psychological Distress as a Mediating Variable
This study aims to determine the effect of job demands on turnover intention with psychological distress as a mediating variable among Alfamart employees in Bandar Lampung City. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. The data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to 130 Alfamart employees, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using the bootstrapping method with the assistance of Macro Process version 4.2 in SPSS. The results indicate that job demands have a positive and significant effect on turnover intention. Furthermore, the mediation analysis shows that psychological distress plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between job demands and turnover intention. These findings suggest that increased job demands not only directly increase employees’ intention to leave their jobs but also indirectly influence turnover intention through heightened psychological distress. This study is expected to contribute theoretically to the development of human resource management literature and practically to provide managerial insights for organizations in managing job demands and maintaining employees’ psychological well-being in order to reduce turnover intention.

The Effect of Abusive Supervision on Turnover Intention with Psychological Distress as a Mediating Variable
This study aims to analyze the effect of abusive supervision on turnover intention, with psychological distress as a mediating variable among Generation Z employees in Lampung Province, using a quantitative approach and a causal research design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 140 respondents selected using purposive sampling, based on specific criteria, namely Generation Z employees who had been working for at least six months and were domiciled in Lampung Province. Data analysis was conducted using the bootstrapping method with Hayes’ PROCESS Macro version 4.2 as an extension in SPSS to examine both direct and indirect effects among the variables. The results indicate that abusive supervision has a positive and significant effect on turnover intention, suggesting that higher levels of abusive supervision are associated with higher levels of turnover intention. The mediation analysis further reveals that psychological distress significantly mediates the relationship between abusive supervision and turnover intention. This finding indicates that abusive supervision not only increases turnover intention directly but also indirectly through increased psychological distress experienced by employees. This study is expected to contribute theoretically to the development of human resource management literature, particularly regarding the role of abusive supervision in influencing turnover intention through psychological distress as a mediating variable.

Governance Dynamics of Natural Resources in Promoting Sustainable Economic Development in Indonesia
This study analyzes the dynamics of natural resource governance in encouraging sustainable economic development in Indonesia with a case study in East Kalimantan Province as a mining-based area. Using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and analysis of policy documents, this study identifies the main challenges in the form of overlapping central-regional authority, regulatory fragmentation, and dominance of short-term economic orientation. The findings show that although the principles of sustainable development have been adopted normatively, their implementation has not been optimal due to weak multilevel coordination and integration of economic-environmental policies. This study emphasizes the importance of regulatory harmonization, institutional capacity strengthening, and increased transparency to ensure that natural resource management contributes to sustainable economic development in Indonesia.

Mapping the Potential of Tourism Villages in Improving the Economy of Communities in Maluk Subdistrict, West Sumbawa Regency
This research is motivated by the suboptimal utilization of tourism potential in Maluk District, West Sumbawa Regency, which boasts natural and cultural riches but is still heavily dependent on the mining sector. The purpose of this study is to map the potential of tourism villages using the 4A/5A concept (Attraction, Accessibility, Amenities, Ancillary, Activities) and analyze their contribution to improving the local economy. Using descriptive qualitative methods, data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation in five villages: Maluk, Benete, Bukit Damai, Mantun, and Pasir Putih. The results show that Pasir Putih and Mantun villages have the highest level of readiness with strong marine tourism attractions, while Benete Village has unique industrial educational tourism potential. Conversely, Maluk and Bukit Damai Villages still require basic interventions in the aspects of amenities and institutions. Implicatively, this mapping serves as a strategic foundation for post-mining economic diversification policies through the creation of new jobs, the growth of MSMEs, and the strengthening of Community Based Tourism (CBT).

The Influence of ESG Disclosure, Green Investment, and Firm Size on Firm Value through Financial Performance as an Intervening Variable in Lq45 Manufacturing Companies (2019–2024)
The primary objective of this study is to verify and analyze the influence of ESG Disclosure, Green Investment, and Firm Size on Firm Value, with Financial Performance serving as a mediating variable. The research focuses on manufacturing companies listed on the LQ45 index of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2019–2024. Adopting a quantitative methodology, the study utilizes data derived from annual reports. From a total population of 45 manufacturing firms, purposive sampling was employed to select a sample of 13 companies within the food and beverage sector for a six-year observation. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) facilitated by Partial Least Square (PLS) software version 4.0. The results of this study indicate that: (1) Firm Size is the dominant factor, positively impacting both Financial Performance and Firm Value; (2) ESG Disclosure improves Financial Performance but not Firm Value; and (3) Green Investment and Financial Performance show no significant effects on value. Crucially, no mediation effect was found. The recommendations of this study are that LQ45 manufacturing companies must prioritize the quality of ESG reporting over administrative formality, and ensure that sustainability practices generate real operational value added. Furthermore, companies must increase transparency and conduct independent verification of sustainability reports. Additionally, they should communicate the economic benefits of green investment more clearly to all stakeholders.

Exploring Millennials’ Investment Behavior Shifts in Response to Digital Financial Platforms
This study investigates shifts in millennials’ investment behavior in response to the use of digital financial platforms by employing a mixed-methods research design. The quantitative phase involved a survey of 237 millennial investors who actively use mobile trading and online investment applications. Survey data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) through descriptive statistics, multiple regression analysis, and mediation testing to examine the effects of digital platform usage intensity, financial literacy, and behavioral biases on changes in trading frequency, portfolio diversification, and risk tolerance. The quantitative findings indicate that higher engagement with digital financial platforms significantly increases investment activity and risk-taking tendencies. Behavioral biases, particularly overconfidence and herding behavior, partially mediate the relationship between platform usage and investment decision patterns, while financial literacy helps reduce excessive speculative behavior and supports more structured portfolio allocation. To enrich the statistical findings, the qualitative phase included in-depth interviews with 14 selected participants, providing deeper insights into user motivations, perceived convenience, social influence, and trust in digital investment technologies. The qualitative results reveal that platform accessibility, gamified features, and peer-driven information flows play a crucial role in encouraging more active—yet sometimes less disciplined—investment behavior

Sustainability Reporting Score Explained by Corporate Governance and Firm Level (LQ45 Companies)
This study aims to analyze the importance of corporate governance and firm level impact on company sustainability reporting score. Samples are selected from LQ 45 listed company on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) for five years (2019-2023) using panel data approach. The result shows that governance, including board characteristics, board size and firm size value show insignificant impact on sustainability reporting. Yet, the firm level more specifically the firm age shows positive and significant impacts on sustainability reporting. It implies that firms focus more on operational maturity not formality. Internal firm dynamics are more relevant in this case that relies on experience from the long period the company is established.
