The research method used was an experiment with two experimental groups and one control group. The Jolly Phonics learning method was applied to the first experimental group. Multisensory learning method was applied to the second experimental group. The mean difference of the post-test between control group and the first experimental group (Jolly Phonics group) is 17,167 (p <0.05). It is shown that there were significant pre-reading ability differences between the control group and Jolly Phonics experimental group. The mean difference of the post-test between control group and the second experimental group is 17,667 (p <0.05). It is shown that there were significant pre-reading ability differences between the control group and the multisensory experimental group. These results indicate that the Jolly Phonics and multisensory learning methods are effective methods for improving pre-reading skills. The post-test score differences between the first experimental group and the second experimental group show a mean difference of 0.500 (p> 0.05). It indicated that there is no difference in pre-reading ability between Jolly Phonics and Multisensory learning group, which means that both learning methods are equally effective in increasing pre-reading skills.

Are Independent Commissioners Able to Mitigate Higher Audit Fees in Politically Connected Firms? Evidence from Indonesia Iman Harymawana*, Fajar Kristanto Gautama Putrab, Wulandari Fitri Ekasaric, Diaranny Sucahyatid, a,b,c,dDepartment of Accounting, Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia, Email: a*harymawan.iman@feb.unair.ac.id This study aims to examine the relationship of political connection and independent commissioners to audit fees charged by the auditor. Using both univariate and multivariate analysis on 961 firm-year observations from Indonesian listed, we find that political connection (independent commissioners) has positive (negative) relationship to audit fees. We also find that independent commissioners are dominating the political connection in context of relationship to audit fees. Furthermore, we document that political connection relationship to audit fees is mainly derived from a board of directors, CEO, and affiliation from certain organisations, that are also weakened by the presence of an independent commissioner. Our study contributes to political connection literature in developing countries, specifically in audit fees. We also provide practical implication for management to consider the independent commissioner as one to minimise the demerits of political connection. Pages 24 to 43 |

Personal Competence and Internal Audit Effectiveness: The Moderating Effect of Islamic Spiritual Quotient: A Case Study of Islamic Financial Institutions in Indonesia Muhammad Syafi’i Antonioa, Sugiyarti Fatma Laelab, Fahmi Alhadic, a,b,cTazkia Islamic University College, Indonesia, This study aims to investigate the influence of internal auditors’ competence on the effectiveness of an internal audit, with Islamic spiritual quotient as a moderating variable. The Islamic Spiritual Quotient (ISQ) instrument is derived from the four prophetic pillars, namely siddiq (truthfulness & integrity ), amanah (trustworthiness), fathanah (competent & skillfull) and tabligh (advocacy & communication). Using questionnaires distributed to 38 internal auditors of Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) in Indonesia, the data were analysed using the structural equation model (SEM) based on partial least squares (PLS). As hypothesised, the findings show that the personal competence of internal auditors improves the effectiveness of an internal audit. Interestingly, ISQ clearly strengthens the positive influence of personal competence on internal audit effectiveness. The stronger the ISQ of internal auditors, the stronger the influence of individual competence on internal audit performance. Pages 44 to 59 |

Implementation of Alter Ego Shareholders and Their Responsibilities According to the ‘Piercing the Corporate Veil’ Doctrine in Indonesia Sandy Nugrohoa*, Bismar Nasutionb, Zulkarnain Sitompulc, a,b,cUniversitas Sumatera Utara, Medan, Indonesia, Email: a*sandy_nug@yahoo.com The application of the piercing the corporate veil doctrine can be carried out in cases, such as fraud, inadequate capital, failure to fulfill the formality of company establishment, and abuse of authority within the company as a result of the dominance of one or more shareholders (alter ego). The method used in this paper is a normative juridical approach by comparing the common law system with civil law, and in addition this writing also approaches the legal synchronisation, both vertically and horizontally, to the responsibilities of shareholders in the company. Data obtained is through library research. The results found that the principle of accountability of shareholders in the company a conflict of legal norms occurred. On the one hand the legal norms regulated in Article 3 paragraph (1) of Law Number 40 Year 2007, concerning Limited Liability Companies, stipulates that limited liability companies are only responsible for the limited capital included in the company. On the other hand, it requires shareholders not only to be responsible for the amount of shares owned but can be responsible for exceeding their shares as regulated in Article 3 paragraph (2). In addition to the conflicting legal norms, there is also a blurring of norms in the Limited Liability Company Law, concerning alter ego criteria related to the pooling of shareholders and company profits, or there is no separation of wealth between shareholders and corporate entities. Furthermore, in the Law on Limited Liability Companies in Indonesia, there is also a legal vacuum to apply the piercing doctrine of the corporate veil to hold the shareholders accountable for which the consequences of such acts lead to acts against the law.

Auditor Experience with Client and Fraud Detection: The Moderating Role of the Royal Family in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Context Tahani Ali Hakamia*, Mohd Mohid Rahmatb, Mohd Hasimi Yaacobc, Norman Mohd-Salehd, aFaculty of Business Administration, Jazan University, Jazan, Saudi Arabia, b,c,dFaculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Kebansgaan Malaysia 43600 UKM Bangi Selangor, Email: a*thakami@jazanu.edu.sa To date, companies pay more attention to detect fraud in financial reporting and how to generate high quality reports. Previous studies investigated the relationship between auditor experience with the client and fraud detection, unfortunately, royal family influence in explaining the relationship between them was ignored in previous studies. This study explores the current state of the research on the impact of auditor’s experience with the client and fraud detection. A new conceptual model has been proposed based on the influence of Royal Family on fraud detection within Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) country. This contributes to fraud literature and in obtaining new insight of auditing operations. In addition, this study contributes to the evaluation of the effect of the royal family on the relationship between auditor experiences with client and fraud detection in GCC companies as the presence of the royal family leads to better auditors to perform their work ethically and independently.

The Effectiveness of Reinvestment Allowance (RA) and Tax Attributes in Stimulating the Performance of Incentivised Firms: Moderating the Effects of Foreign Directorship Fairus Halizam A. Hamzaha*, Nadiah Abd Hamidb, Siti Noor Hayati Mohd Zawawic, Roszilah Shamsuddind, Norazah Md Azalie, a,b,c,d,eFaculty of Accountancy, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 42300 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, Email: a*fairuzhalizaml@gmail.com The debate on the implication of fiscal incentives is extensive. Nevertheless, whether tax incentives succeed in stimulating firm performance remains highly controversial and has received much attention from governments and policymakers. We aimed at providing evidence about the effect of RA and other tax attributes on firm performance. Secondly, we examined if firm directorship has a moderating effect on our regression estimation. To fully understand the effects of fiscal incentives, a systematic study is needed to link RA to not just business location, employment, economic implication development but also to the overarching issues of firm performance. This research uses the Panel Least Square regression model to examine the interplay between RA and other tax attributes on firm-level performance measured by return on asset. Employing tax return data from 2007 to 2016 of corporate firms consistently claiming RA, this research affirms that RA has positively impacted the performance of incentivised firms in Malaysia. Besides RA, these incentivised firms also depend on other tax attributes such as lower effective tax rates, various tax benefits, the firm scale of operation as well as adequate tax audit monitoring. We also affirm that foreign directorship only moderates one of the tested explanatory variables used in this research, which is the effective tax rate (ETR). Overall, the evidence in this research-driven extensively by responses of the incentivised firms addresses the issue of effective incentive utilisation and tax attributes. This research could be the first to contribute evidence on the systematic assessment of RA. Pages 450 to 472 |

Reformulation of a Legal Policy Affirming Recognition of Indigenous Community Units Mohammad Jamina*, Mulyantob, Sahid Teguh Widodoc, a,bFaculty of Law, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia, cFaculty of Cultural Studies, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia, a*email: jamin_mh@yahoo.com This research aims to discover the philosophical foundation for the existence of traditional Pakraman villages as indigenous community units, and to diagnose the reasons why the legal policy affirming recognition of indigenous community units through organisation to become Indigenous Villages, in Law No. 6 Year 2014, has failed to be implemented, and to reformulate a legal policy affirming recognition of indigenous community units through organisation to become Indigenous Villages that are ideal and responsive. The research method uses a socio legal research approach. The research results show that Pakraman villages in Bali are essentially autonomous indigenous community units which adhere to the philosophical values of Tri Hita Karana and Tri Kaya Parisudha. The legal policy affirming recognition of indigenous community units to become Indigenous Villages in Bali, according to Village Law, is to be implemented by establishing or forming new Indigenous Villages. However, its requirements cannot be met because Indigenous Villages must be integrated with Official Villages. Therefore, a new responsive legal policy must be formulated affirming recognition of indigenous community units as Indigenous Villages: First, by replacing the integrated village model with a model of co-existence. Second, by giving full autonomy to Indigenous Villages, including catur praja, which is the authority to form their own regulations, run their own government, implement their own justice system, and execute their own police duties. Third, by facilitating the requirements for organising indigenous community units to become Indigenous Villages. Fourth, by regulating indigenous community units to become owners of indigenous ulayat land. Pages 473 to 490 |

Assessing Technology Competency of Small and Medium Accounting Practitioners in Cambodia: A Qualitative Investigation Shukriah Saada, Erlane K Ghanib*, Kamaruzzaman Muhammadc, Aida Hazlin Ismaild, Mohamad Ridhuan Mat Dangie, Maisarah Mohamed Saatf, a,b,c,d,eFaculty of Accountancy, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia, fAzman Hashim International Business School, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia, Email: b*erlanekg@uitm.edu.my This study aims to examine the technology competency of the Small and Medium Practitioners (SMPs) in Cambodia. Using a qualitative approach on SMPs in Cambodia, this study shows that the technology competency of the SMPs are adequate in accommodating the needs of their clients. The level of technology competency among the SMPs however, vary, partly due to the type of clients and the type of services demanded by their clients. Specifically, this study showcases a rather consistent view on the technology competency among the SMPs. The findings show an adequate level of technology competency from the technology capability, as most of their clients relied on either Microsoft Excel or QuickBooks to account for their transactions and the SMPs do not encounter much problem in providing such services. This study also shows that the SMPs are innovative since efforts have been made to store their data using Cloud and provide training to their clients in relation to the use of audit software. Finally, this study shows that the SMPs practice e-business since they have websites which they use to attract current and potential clients. In addition, their willingness to collaborate with other accounting firms provide some confirmation on their e-business practices. Such findings indicate that the SMPs would be able to accommodate the demand of their clients by providing services via technology. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of accounting bodies in strategising ways to assist the SMPs so that they would be able to serve their clients better and consequently, enhance firm agility.

Disclosure of Good Manufacturing Policies and their Effect on Total Quality Management through Strategic Innovation: An Analytical Study at SDI in Samarra, Iraq Sami Ahmed Abbasa*, Khaldiya Mustafa Attab, Zaid yaseen Saud AL Dulaimic, a,b,cDept. of Business Administration, Economics & Administration College Al Iraqia University, Baghdad, Iraq, Email: a*samiabbas820@gmail.com, czaidyaseen610@yahoo.com The objective of this paper is to explore good manufacturing policies (GMP) and their effect on Total Quality Management (TQM) through strategic innovation (SI) as an intermediate variable. It addresses the apparent tension between quality management and strategic innovation within the total quality management model in SDI, Samara, Iraq. This paper explores the relationship between good manufacturing policies, total quality management and strategic creativity. Also, the effect of all stakeholders on TQM has been assessed. Design / Methodology / Approach - A survey was conducted for the pharmaceutical plant in Samarra and the resulting data were analysed using statistical analysis (SPSS) to determine how good manufacturing policies affect TQM. A 40-question survey tool was developed, organised into three groups: questions on good manufacturing policies, strategic innovation, and Total Quality Management. The number of participants was 125. Originality/Value - The perception of TQM by experts in pharmaceutical companies and organisational power is broader than the definition of TQM. From the point of view of pharmaceuticals, TQM is a holistic approach to the long-term success of the organisation, addressed to all stakeholders, with a focus on public health. Pages 553 to 572 |

Developing a Transcultural Tool for Teaching Cultures in Translation Studies Bilal Khalid Khalafa*, Zuhana Bt Mohamed Zinb, a,bLanguage Academy, UTM, Malaysia, Email: a*bk1142015@gmail.com This work sheds light on a significant part in the field of translation, which is represented by the challenges in translating cultural expressions or ‘proverbs’. It contributes to implementing and assessing the role of situational context established by Halliday (1985) as a tool for developing and teaching cultural knowledge in translation classrooms. Two groups of undergraduate learners from two translation schools were nominated for participating in the research. The first group adopted traditional-based learning, while the second adopted inquiry-based learning, due to the dominant roles of those models in the field. Ten participants from each learning approach volunteered to participate in the experiment. The current research embodies the problem of lacking cultural knowledge theoretically and practically. The former gives a brief introduction on the study context through related studies in the literature. While, the latter answers the research questions by conducting two translation tasks to identify the challenges in translating proverbs and find out the role of cultural dimension and situational context during the process of translation. The research found that low cultural background knowledge was the main challenge which traditional and inquiry-based participants encountered during the cognition process for analysing the meaning of Arabic proverbs. The study showed that situational context enabled the participants to overcome this challenge and master cognitive sub-activities of problem-solving and decision-making by developing participants’ cultural knowledge. Additionally, the results acknowledged the role of situational context in assessing participants’ cultural background knowledge in both source and target languages. Pages 573 to 593 |

Evaluation Of The Implementation Of Risk Management in Government Agencies in Indonesia: A Study at the Ministry of Finance aAgus Bandiyono, bAdina Winanda Putra, Polytechnic of State Finance STAN, Tangerang, Indonesia, Email Address:aagus.bandiyono@gmail.com bagusbandiyono@pknstan.ac.id The focus of this study was to evaluate the implementation of risk management in one of the echelon II units in the Financial Education and Training Agency, the Central Office of Tax Education and Training. This research was limited to the implementation of risk management in the Tax Training Center in 2015 and 2016. This study used a qualitative method. In conducting this research, the researchers used 2 (two) types of data, primary data and secondary data. Primary data is data obtained directly through interviews with informants, in this case, the primary data of this study came from the Tax Training Center employees, who were directly involved in risk management at the agency. While secondary data is data obtained by the researchers indirectly through other parties such as websites, books, applicable laws and regulations, and other research in the field of risk management. The result is that risk management has been applied in the Tax Training Center according to the rules. However, there were several problems experienced by the Tax Training Center in an effort to implement risk management for the period of 2015 and 2016. These problems include: the absence of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for implementing risk management in the Tax Training Center, no risk awareness in every employee of the Tax Training Centre, lack of consistency in risk management monitoring, no synchronisation between the Government's Internal Control System and Risk Management, causing some activities to overlap, the number of forms that must be filled which takes time because of repeated information and must be filled manually, and risk management that was still not knowledgeable. This problem is a recurring problem each year and has not been treated effectively. Pages 594 to 613 |

Exploring Metacognitive Strategies in Mathematics through Lesson Study: Evidence from Univet Bantara Sukoharjo Indonesia Djatmiko Hidajata, Siti Maghfirotun Aminb, Yusuf Fuadc, aMathematics Education Univet Bantara Sukoharjo, Indonesia, b,cMathematics Education State University of Surabaya, Indonesia, Email: adjatmikohidajat16070936010@mhs.unesa.ac.id, bamin3105@yahoo.com, cyusuffuad@unesa.ac.id This paper explores how metacognitive strategies are applied in lesson study by students to solve mathematics problems. Lesson study, as a collaborative teaching learning process between students and a team of teachers, was applied to the research design and data was analysed using a qualitative approach. Principally, lesson study was implemented in three steps: plan, do and see. There were 73 students who joined in two classes of a maths course at Vetaran Bangun Nusantara University, Sukoharjo Indonesia and were recruited as participants and 4 maths teachers were involved as the research subjects. Data was collected using observations and an in-depth interview, resulting in recording of verbatim data that was qualitatively analysed. The results show that planning sessions contributed to the modification and creative improvement of the contents of teaching materials and teaching methods, as a result of discussion among teacher collaborators. The implementation of metacognitive strategies by students, indicates valuable processes in the activation of metacognitive awareness, individual metacognition and metacognitive evaluation. Metacognitive awareness demonstrates how creativity is encouraged through critical thinking during planning and process. Individual metacognitive strategies arose because of self-confidence, achievement and critical thinking to apply analysis and synthesis strategies. Finally, evaluative metacognitive strategies were promoted to solve problems that students had to overcome individually and in group contexts, during discussion in the classroom. Pages 614 to 633 |

Physical skill is the determinant of the quality and quantity of the learning outcomes. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of mind mapping and discovery learning methods by involving physical skills (leg power exploitation), to improve the learning outcomes of kick volleyball sports. The study uses an experimental method, with a 2x2 level design with a post-test, a treatment control, and a pre-test, with a sample of 60 students using physical skills test instruments (exploitative power of leg muscles, Vertical Jump). The research results obtained by an ANOVA test show the differences in the learning outcomes taught by two different learning methods, through physical conditions (exploitative power of leg muscles). The test shows Fo (A) = 14.251 with p-value = 0.000 <0.05, or H0 rejected. There are differences in the average learning outcomes between students, who are taught with the two different learning methods, with Fo (B) = 21,167 with p-value = 0.000 <0.05 or H0 rejected. Also, there are differences in the average sports learning outcomes of the students who have high and low physical skills (limb muscle power). Furthermore, Fo (AB) = 18.143 with p-value = 0.000 <0.05 or H0 rejected. The result shows that there is a significant interaction effect between factor A (learning methods) and factor B (physical skills such as the exploitative power of leg muscles) on the learning outcomes. Thus, there is no average difference between the main mapping learning method and the discovery learning method in students who have low physical exploitation power of the leg muscles. The conclusion is that the mind mapping learning method is more effective to use for teaching kick volleyball sports than discovery learning methods for students who have high physical skills. For students with low physical skills, mind mapping learning methods and discovery learning methods do not have different effects on the learning outcomes of kick volleyball sports.

The Role of Small Projects in Supporting the Iraqi Economy through the Application of the Principle of the Productive University, Kut Technical Institute Model Hasan Yahya Baqera, Ahmed Abdulrazaq Abdulrudhab, Falah Thamer Alwanc, a,bMiddle Technical University Kut Technical Institute, cMiddle Technical University Suwaira Technical Institute, This research aims to apply the principle of the productive university by identifying the productive projects established at the Kut Technical Institute for the production of mushrooms, honey, fish meat, agricultural crops and re-operation of poultry fields for the production of chicken meat, which will enhance food security by relying on local production. The problem of research is not to exploit the natural, physical and human resources available in Iraqi universities to establish projects producing local production and to benefit from academic expertise in the field of local production. The hypothesis of the research stated that the application of the principle of productive university and the establishment and establishment of the productive projects is the right step towards increasing domestic production and the possibility of financing them from the savings of surplus individuals. This study reviewed the agricultural production projects in the Kut Technical Institute and the five projects that were found were analysed for the quantities produced for these five projects for the pilot operation of the first season, as well as the extraction of the percentage of profit for each project separately. The researcher concluded that the implementation of the University's principle of producing productive projects has an effective role in enhancing local production by providing the Institute's employees in particular and consumers in general with animal and plant agricultural products which thus enhances their food security. The researcher recommends the need to prepare a clear economic strategy to activate the application of the principle of the productive university and to exploit the resources and possibilities available in all Iraqi universities and to put their products on the market as ideal and competitive products for imported goods.

Incompatibility and Decentralisation Theory: A Review on Indonesian Regional Government Practice Zainudin Amalia*, Ermaya Suradinatab, Khasan Effendyc, Sampara Lukmand, a,b,c,dGovernment Sciences Program, Institut Pemerintahan Dalam Negeri (IPDN), Email: a*amali@ipdn.ac.id The institutionalisation of regional autonomy in South Sulawesi faces incompatibility in two dimensions; territorial needs and government authority. This causes confusion in state administration in the frame of central and regional government relations. By using a qualitative method, this study analyses the issue of incompatibility between decentralisation theory and the practice of regional government authority in South Sulawesi. To represent the characteristics of city and district administration, Makassar City and Gowa District Government were chosen as samples. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews and field observations during August-November 2018. 15 samples were chosen to represent decentralised authority, such as education and public services, government community leaders, traditional leaders, and government figures. This study found that the implementation of decentralisation theory in Indonesia was born from various ruling regime perspectives. This paper also found that first, the transition to regional autonomy from a district/city to a province has led to incompatibility theory of decentralisation in managing regional government affairs. Second, the lack of synchronisation of various laws and regulations in government administration produce un-optimal public services in the education sector. Furthermore, studies are needed to synchronise the state and the government systems which are used in the transfer of authority in central and regional governance systems. Pages 711 to 730 |

The Effect of Dietary Fats on Goat Digestion Niel L. Ningala, aUniversity of the Philippines, Los Baños, College of Agriculture and Food Science, Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines, Email: anielningal.qualipeak@gmail.com This study concerns the effect of dietary fats on goat digestion. It was conducted at the Metabolism Laboratory of the Institute of Animal and Dairy Sciences Cluster (ADSC) at the University of the Philippines, Los Baños, Laguna. Three goats weighting 27.33±1.53 kg were housed in individual elevated metabolism stalls with customised faecal collection tools. Treatments were replicated three times over following a Complete Randomised Design (CRD) to evaluate the effect of dietary fats’ supplementation on DM, CP, NDF and ADF digestion. Animals were randomly selected for different dietary treatments in different cycles. For each cycle, animals were provided with concentrate in the morning and ad libitum feeding of Napier grass thereafter. Clean drinking water was made available all the time in the respective animal watering troughs. The goats were supplemented with two types of dietary fats (VCO and lard) at 3 and 5%. Data showed that animals supplemented with 3% lard received the uppermost digestion across parameters, while the control received the lowest digestion performance for CP, NDF and ADF despite high DM intake. Analysis of variance showed no significant difference (P>0.05) among treatment means for DM, CP, NDF and ADF digestion. It is concluded that the influence of dietary fats such as VCO and lard showed insignificant differences in treatment means as supplements for goat rumen digestion. This is so even though a trend was observed: giving VCO and lard increases the percentage of CP, ADF and NDF digestion. In this study, virgin coconut oil and lard can be efficiently used as a good source of energy for goats fed with Napier grass without affecting growth performance. This indicates a good approach in exploiting the use of local fat resources for goat production. Supplementing dietary fats in goat concentrate showed decreases in protozoa populations that ingest rumen bacteria. This resulted in increased digestion in the supplemented groups. Satiety’s effect on the treated group resulted in lower dry matter intake and dry matter digestion but increases in ruminating time due to negative effects on rumen digestion that tend to increase CP, NDF and ADF digestion. 731 to 740 |

Optimal Portfolio: What or When? Various approaches to “optimal” Budi Purwantoa, Nanda Karunia Amanahb, Prima Respatic, Edryoko Dwi Hardonod, aFinance and Accounting Division, Department of Management, Faculty of Economics and Management, IPB University (Bogor Agricultural University), b,c,dGraduate Studies in Management Science, IPB Universiity (Bogor Agricultural University), Various approaches can be applied to obtain optimal portfolio, therefore it can produce different "optimal results". The question arises, is the optimal portfolio actually an equilibrium that can be used as a long-term benchmark, or is it only a short-term condition that never has permanent equilibrium? This paper aims to study several approaches to obtain an optimal portfolio by considering several determinants. The study aims to: 1) form an optimal portfolio based on Markowitz's modern portfolio theory (MPT) as a benchmark; 2) develop alternative optimal portfolios based on sectoral, regional and temporal approaches; 3) form an optimal portfolio with moral and information boundary; 4) identify the effects of rebalancing and contrarian strategy to obtain optimal portfolio; and 5) evaluating the concept that makes the most sense to obtain optimal portfolio. Analysis was carried out using several models including the Markowitz model, single index model with the various approach based on sectoral, temporal, and behavioural model. The data used comes from the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2011-2019. The review results show that various approaches and strategies resulting different optimal stock combinations. Sectoral approach produces an optimal combination of higher rates of return and risk. Conversely, portfolios with an Islamic moral bounding can produce portfolios with a combination of lower rates of risk and hand in hand with a lower return. On the other hand, various approaches do not significantly produce Sharpe’s ratio difference. However, this study has still not been able to ascertain whether the differences in portfolio resulted from various approaches indicate that the optimal portfolio always moves dynamically without long-term balance or not. 741 to 759 |

Redesigning a Parliamentary Election System for Strengthening the Presidential System in Indonesia Mohammad Syaiful Arisa*, Radian Salmanb, Rosa Ristawatic, a,b,cFaculty of Law, Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia, Email: a*syaiful@fh.unair.ac.id Election is one of the constitutional mandates expressly presented in Article 22E Paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia. However, the Constitution does not provide further guidance on the mechanism of the election. Therefore, it is necessary to search philosophically for what exactly the election system is in Indonesia. An alternative system is needed to support improving the democratic movement in Indonesia. The system must be able to create a minimum majority party in parliament to support presidential policies and also improve the accountability of the members of parliament and accommodate heterogeneous groups.

Assessment of Supply Chain Finance Adoption among Malaysian Manufacturing Firms Mohamad Aznillah Ahmada, Jaafar Pyemanb, Norli Alic, Norsariah Abdul Rahmand, a,bArshad Ayub Graduate Business School, UiTM Shah Alam, bFaculty of Business and Management, UiTM Shah Alam, cFaculty of Accountancy, UiTM Puncak Alam, Email: aaznill1973@gmail.com, bjaaf@uitm.edu.my, cnorli.ali@uitm.edu.my, dreeya.nor77@gmail.com Malaysian’s manufacturing firms always face difficulty in getting financial assistance from financial institutions. Despite the many financing products available, supply chain finance (SCF) adoption is very lacking. Since SCF is relatively unfamiliar compared to conventional or Islamic financing, the adoption rate is very low. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of SCF Adoption Intention in the context of Malaysian manufacturing industries. Using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the technology acceptance model (TAM), it is aimed to explain the effect of Knowledge and Awareness, Cost Benefit, business support and Reputation as well as Perceived Ease Of Use (PEOU) and Perceived Usefulness (PU), on adoption Attitude and intention towards SCF. The study used a quantitative approach via 1,000 questionnaires distributed to Malaysian’s manufacturing firms, and only 411 were returned. Structural equation modelling using partial least squares approach was then utilised to assess the relationships of all variables. Data has been tested using a measurement model while structural model assessment was performed to test the hypotheses. The findings show that Knowledge and Awareness, Cost Benefit, Reputation, PEOU and PU have positive effect on adoption Attitude of Malaysians manufacturing firms towards SCF. Attitude, Subjective Norm and Perceived Behavioural Control have a positive effect on Adoption Intention, while Attitude only mediates Knowledge and Awareness, Cost Benefit, Reputation and Adoption Intention. The mediation effect of Attitude implies the importance of recommendations and favourable word-of-mouth from the significant ones, such as family members and peers, to make manufacturers willing to try and adopt it. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by having an extensive use of TPB with TAM in the context of a manufacturing firm in explaining the SCF Adoption Intention. Given the need to explore new financing products, understanding SCF would contribute to the manufacturing industries and to the Malaysian economy. Pages 773 to 795 |

The Role of Strategic Sense in Reducing Organisational Decline - A Case Study in a Najaf Cement Factory Hashim Fawzi Alabadi a*, Majid Jabbar Ghazzayb , and Natalya Ahmed Alkaseerc a,c Department of Business administration, Faculty of Administration and Economics, University of Kufa, Najaf, Iraq, b Al.furat Al.Awsat Technical University, Kufa. Iraq. Email: a*hashimf.alabadi@gmail.com The present study examines the strategic sense and its reflection in reducing the occurrence of organisational decline, for a sample of workers in Najaf Cement Factory, which amounted to 102 workers. The study is based on the basic assumptions that the strategic sense prevents the decline of an organiation, and that this decline will occur in the absence of a healthy environment by the management of the laboratory on the dimensions of strategic sense. The scientific significance of the study stems from the fact that the results will help to understand organisational trends and behaviors by looking at the dimensions of strategic sense and linking them to the dimensions of organisational decline and reduction. The study used the questionnaire as the main data collection tool. A number of statistical methods were used to validate the study hypotheses such as arithmetic mean, standard deviation, simple correlation coefficient and regression analysis. The results of the study are identical to most of its hypotheses. Achieving success in the work of the researched laboratory requires that the dimensions of strategic sense be discovered and reflected on, in the treatment of indicators of organisational decline, in order to ensure the provision of industrial services acceptable to the beneficiary.
