The Role of Tax Incentives in Supporting a Green Economy in Micro, Small, And Medium Enterprises in Kendari City

2024-04-25T12:10:58+07:00

The effects of decreasing natural carrying capacity and increasingly losing biodiversity systems encourage us to think about policy concepts that are not only oriented toward output growth but also about the sustainability of increasingly limited natural resources. One relevant concept is providing incentives to MSMEs as a driver for implementing a green economy by utilizing resources sustainably and minimizing pollution and other environmental impacts. As one of the most significant contributors to GDP, MSMEs must transform by introducing green management processes in business activities. The existence of tax incentives is intended to encourage MSMEs to support the green economy with indicators of green attitude, green strategy, green governance, green monitoring, and green modeling. Based on this, this research aims to describe the perceptions of MSME business actors towards tax incentives and analyze the relationship between tax incentives and green economy indicator variables. This research uses a sign test to see whether there are fundamental differences without paying attention to these differences and Spearman rho to test the relationship between variables. Based on the results of the sign test show that only the green strategy has no effect, even though there are tax incentives with a value of 0.05 < 0.8282. In other words, if there is no difference between before and after the existence of tax incentives, the probability of getting at most 6 out of 10 respondents who report no role of tax incentives is 82 percent. Meanwhile, other indicators show the role of incentives in supporting the implementation of a green economy. Meanwhile, the Spearman Rho results show that the green strategy and green modeling indicators have no or weak relationship with tax incentives.

A Cross Sectional Study on the Employment of Senior Citizens: A Literature Review on Prospects and Challenges

2024-04-25T12:19:15+07:00

The employment of senior citizens presupposes the existence and maintenance of quality elderly life and successful aging wherever it is provided by concerned states, governments, and cause-oriented advocacies. Brazil and a number of European Union countries, even parts of Asia and African countries, including Russia, lead an array of models that identify and establish the impact of a number of moderating variables in post-retirement employment such as age and elderly-friendly cities, concepts, and predictors of issues, such as successful active aging, post-retirement work intentions, the impact of health and health care status, early retirement, the reconfiguration of work and the family. The models directly advocate the employment quality of senior citizens, pension fairness, longevity gaps, and effect on public finance, even the participation of senior citizens in policy-making, and similar other mediating variables. The theory of self-determination and work motivation is a strong phenomenological determinant of employment outcomes. Using a cross-sectional study, the research identifies a mix of cultural, socio-economic, and political issues and drivers that may seal the fate of senior citizens’ post-retirement welfare status. The study hypothesizes and ultimately explores that the government, the business sector, and civil society strongly mediate the successful trajectory of senior citizen welfare processes.

The Social Entrepreneur as an Antifragile Agent in the Era of New Normal

2024-04-25T12:37:32+07:00

The social entrepreneur of Dyck and Neubert is seen from Geil Browning’s Theory of Emergenetics that says we are a product of nature (DNA) and nurture (external influence of family, school, society, government, business and religious beliefs). In more vivid details, the Agency Theory of Priestly, Biesta and Robinson enumerates three key dimensions of being an agent who effectively interacts with his/her environment. These three dimensions are 1. Performance-Evaluative, 2. Iterative and 3. Projective. This paper presents the concept of Antifragility of Nassim Taleb as framework for the peak performance of an Agent. The social entrepreneur is presented from Dyck and Neubert’s multistream perspective, primarily describing him as concerned with the wellbeing of the customers. Carl Balita’s 12 Days of Entrepreneurs provides a capsulized summary on being an entrepreneur and Larry Gamboa’s Business Model Canvas is a valuable basic guide for entrepreneurial start-up. The World Economic Forum gives a macro vision for social entrepreneurs to pursue 1. creativity and innovation, 2. global and local citizenship, 3. digital technology and 4. interpersonal and intrapersonal relationship as key activities in a post-COVID 19 New Normal environment. The Era of the New Normal is happening at the tail end of the Great Period of Change which started in 1987 and ends in 2023. An Antifragile Social Entrepreneur in the Era of New Normal is a person who takes an active role (Agent) to pursue her/his vision and mission in serving her/his internal and external stakeholders, and she/he does not merely withstand shocks of business challenges, but actually gains improvement because of them when facing these challenges (Antifragile).
