2026-11-05T23:15:50+07:00

Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of a toxic workplace, compensation, and workload on employee work discipline at PT Master Ban Indonesia in Medan City. Methodology: The study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consists of 144 employees, with 59 respondents selected using the Slovin formula and simple random sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and Likert-scale questionnaires, then analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 via validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. Results: A toxic workplace has a significant negative effect on work discipline (regression value: -0.281; t-count: -2.893; significance value: 0.005). Compensation has a significant positive effect (regression value: 0.413; t-count: 4.231; significance value: <0.001). Workload has a significant positive effect (regression value: 0.222; t-count: 2.051; significance value: 0.047). Simultaneously, the three variables significantly influence work discipline (F-count: 17.943; significance value: <0.001), with an R² of 0.495. Limitations: The study was conducted at a single company and relied on respondent perception data; therefore, generalizations should be made with caution. Contribution: The study provides insights for managing the work environment, compensation systems, and workloads to enhance employee discipline.

2026-11-05T23:16:06+07:00

TikTok’s growth as both a social-media and digital-commerce environment increases consumers’ exposure to black campaigns targeting products or brands. This study examines the effect of TikTok black campaign exposure on purchase intention, directly and through the mediating roles of emotion and curiosity within the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework. An explanatory quantitative, cross-sectional survey was conducted with 126 active TikTok users in Indonesia aged at least 18 years selected through purposive sampling. The measures adapted the C-ME, Consumption Emotion Set, Epistemic Curiosity Scale, and Spears and Singh purchase-intention scale. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM in WarpPLS 8.0. Black campaign exposure positively affected emotion (β=0.874; p<0.001), curiosity (β=0.512; p<0.001), and purchase intention directly (β=0.254; p=0.001). Curiosity was the strongest direct predictor of purchase intention (β=0.520; p<0.001), while emotion had a weak positive effect (β=0.155; p=0.037). Emotion and curiosity jointly produced partial mediation with a total VAF of 61.3%; curiosity accounted for 66.4% of the total indirect effect. These findings indicate that black campaigns activate affective and cognitive mechanisms simultaneously, with curiosity serving as the more dominant pathway shaping purchase intention.
