ABSTRACT
This study examines the distribution of income diversification in improving the financial sustainability of private universities amidst difficulties in operational funding during the Covid-19 pandemic with IT Capability moderation. Research design, data and methodology: Closed survey aimed at 468 financial sector leaders from 189 private universities in ten provinces in Indonesia. Results: All income diversification activity variables have a significant positive effect on financial sustainability. In the analysis of liquidity indicators, there are two activities that have a significant positive effect, namely goods and services (β=0.337) and profitable financial management (β=0.124). Furthermore, the results of the solvency indicator test obtained significant positive results in Goods and Services Activities (β=0.337), Commercial Intellectuals (β=0.161), Commercial Contracts (β=0.103), and Profitable Financial Management (β=0.147). The results of the test of higher education growth indicators on three activities have a significant positive effect, namely Goods and Services (β = 0.290), Endowments (β = 0.158), and Commercial Contracts (β = 0.134). The results of the moderation test conclude that IT Capability strengthens the effect of income diversification on financial sustainability. Conclusion: The results of the study as a recommendation for private universities in developing income diversification with information system technology-based management © This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons.

ABSTRACT
Against the backdrop of financial turbulence at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study examines the role of transformational leadership in leading private universities in Indonesia to achieve good financial sustainability. This study is the latest study that combines the indirect relationship of transformational leadership and financial sustainability using the mediation of accountability and transparency as part of good university governance. The study used a closed survey of 381 respondents in the financial sector from private universities in 10 provinces in Indonesia. Data processing and analysis using SPSS with various stages for an analysis endurance test. The results show that transformational leadership does not directly affect financial sustainability but through transparency and accountability. Another accepted hypothesis discusses the relationship of transformational leadership to the transparency and accountability of higher education institutions. The last accepted hypothesis is the direct relationship of the transparency variable to the financial sustainability and the accountability variable to the financial sustainability of private universities in Indonesia. Theoretical and practical recommendations are discussed densely in the discussion of this research. © 2022 WITPress. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
The current COVID-19 pandemic is a worldwide challenge, so organizationsneed to create innovative management to drive effective performance. Effective performance can be achieved, among others, by creating interpersonal trust between employees and supervisors. Therefore, examining the antecedents of this interpersonal trust is an important study. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of formal performance evaluation system and intrinsic religiosity on a person's trust toward their superiors. Data were obtained using an online questionnaire survey method. A total of 222 full-time faculty members of economics and business from 24 Christian higher education institutions across 14 provinces in Indonesia participated in this study. The data were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis. This study provides evidence on the positive effect of formal performance evaluation systems on trust based on social exchange theory. This study also reveals that intrinsic religiosity positively influences subordinates' trust in their superiors. This study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to introduce supernatural monitoring hypothesis as a theoretical base to examine the effect of intrinsic religiosity on trust. Further, this study provides evidence that supernatural monitoring hypothesis is the complementing theory of social exchange theory in building trust.
ABSTRACT
At the end of 2019, the world was impacted by a deadly viral phenomenon referred to as COVID-19. The Indonesian government quickly implemented Large-Scale Social Restrictions (LSSR) to prevent the spread and transmission of COVID-19. However, various violations are often committed by the community towards LSSR, which are specifically caused by economic inequality. This study was focused on spatial and temporal modelling of the COVID-19 cases in East Borneo Province by identifying the contributing factors. This study aimed to develop an analytical program to estimate the parameters of the Improved-Geographically and Temporal Weighted Regression (I-GTWR), which accommodates the interaction of the spatial-temporal distance function. Moreover, this study was also intended to develop an I-GTWR model for the COVID-19 data for each Regency/City of East Borneo Province by considering the spatial-temporal diversity and adding the interaction of the spatial-temporal distance function to the weighting matrix, and determining the factors that influence of COVID-19 cases in East Borneo Province, based on regional variations by applying I-GTWR. Map and model exploration had succeeded in identifying different patterns of factors that affected of COVID-19 cases at each location and time. The I-GTWR method had proven to be more appropriate in describing the contributing factors of COVID-19 cases in East Borneo Province in 2020-2021. This was indicated by a higher R-Square value, a decrease in the Root Means Squared Error (RMSE). © 2022, SCIK Publishing Corporation. All rights reserved.
