Fraud prevention entails developing and implementing risk management strategies, particularly regarding fraud, and establishing internal controls and transparent corporate governance practices to eliminate fraudulent activities. This study aims to examine the effect of internal auditors, internal control, and audit quality on preventing fraud at the Inspectorate of North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The sample included 61 government internal auditors of the Inspectorate of North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The data collection process was carried out by administering questionnaires using Google Forms. Additionally, this investigation assessed the constructs under scrutiny using a five-point Likert and the partial least square (PLS) approach. The results showed that internal audit has a positive and significant effect on fraud prevention (p < 0.05), internal control has a positive and significant effect on fraud prevention (p < 0.05), and audit quality has no effect on fraud prevention at the Inspectorate of North Sumatra Province, Indonesia (p > 0.05). The Inspectorate of North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, should conduct internal audits, implement an internal control system, and pay attention to the quality of audits to make them more effective as a basis for quality decision-making and fraud minimization.

Online shopping presents a different environment, atmosphere, and experience. The possibility of ethical violations is higher during online than face-to-face transactions. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the influence of perceived health risk and customer perception of online retail ethics on consumer online shopping behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, involving seven variables, namely perceived health risk, security, privacy, non-deception, reliability fulfillment, service recovery, and online shopping behavior. The data were collected through an online survey by employing the purposive sampling technique to a consumer who has shopped online during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. 315 valid responses were obtained and analyzed through quantitative method using SEM-Amos. The results showed that perceived health risk and four variables of online retail ethics including security, privacy, reliability fulfillment, and service recovery affected online shopping behavior. Meanwhile, non-deception was found to have an insignificant effect. The coefficient value proved perceived health risk to be more dominant in influencing online shopping behavior than the variables of online retail ethics. Thus, consumers pay more concern for their health during online shopping. However, positive consumer perceptions of the behavior of online retail websites in providing services also can encourage consumers to shop online during this pandemic.

Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 18, 2020 Issue #1 pp. 107-118 Views: 3445 Downloads: 811 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯHuman resource management (HRM) is one of the elements enabling an organization to remain competitive in turbulence conditions. The effective practice of HRM makes competent and innovative employees contributing to the achievement of organizational objectives. This study aims to analyze HRM practices in creating innovation and organizational performance. The questionnaire was used to measure the respondents’ perceptions of variables used by a Likert scale. A survey of 126 manager samples and middle managers at export-oriented short and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bali, Indonesia, was conducted to test the model. The analysis has shown that the proposed model was proven to be compliant with the research hypotheses. HRM significantly affects organizational performance and innovation, and it was found out that innovation can improve organizational performance. However, in the process of simultaneous testing, it was found out that innovation cannot improve organizational performance. The lack of attention to investments in human resources became one of the barriers to SMEs in creating innovation.

Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 16, 2018 Issue #2 pp. 1-11 Views: 3142 Downloads: 303 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThis paper aims to examine the impact of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) practice on bank stability and performance. Governance is measured using the GCG rating that covers eleven aspects. The authors apply instrumental regression to link governance to performance and stability. The study covers a sample of 150 banks. The result shows that bank stability can mediate bank governance and bank performance. On the determinant of bank performance, it can be concluded that the GCG rating is positive and directly influences bank performance. Bank stability is also positive for bank performance indicating the indirect contribution of the GCG rating to bank performance. NPL, LDR, CAR and bank’s size (LASSET) are all negative and significant. The aim of this paper is to provide strong empirical evidence on the importance of governance and stability for performance. The limitations of this paper are the size of the sample and that it only covers public banks which are theoretically required to apply better governance in all aspects of their business by the Capital Market Authority.
