2024-09-28T08:07:49+07:00

There is a correlation between the increase in prospective Indonesian migrant workers (PMIs) and the increase in employment law violations. Non-procedural PMIs force themselves on migrant workers without proper permission, violating legalities such as incomplete documents and legal provisions, potentially leading to legal problems. Non-procedural PMIs also tend not to go through the placement selection process with a credible agency. The study aims to examine the role of government regulation in moderating the influence of competence on PMI candidate recruitment. The research population consists of Indonesian migrant workers' distributor agencies spread across nine districts and cities in Bali province. The research sample comprises 10 agencies and 10 recruiters who recruited during the years 2021 and 2022 as candidate migrants to 117 placement companies. Data collection for competence variables, government regulations, and placement using questionnaires that have passed validity and reliability tests is a good measurement scale. We analyzed the research data using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method, aided by SMART-PLS software, to examine the direct impact of competence on placement, the influence of government regulations on placement, and the moderating effect of governmental regulations on the impact of competence on placement. This study showed that (1) competence had a positive and significant effect on placement, which was backed up by strong empirical data; (2) government regulations also had a positive and significant effect on placement, which was backed up by empire data; and (3) the way that government regulations moderated the relationship between competence and placement was hindering.

2024-09-30T09:44:52+07:00

This study conducts a systematic literature review to examine the current state of research on access to finance for women entrepreneurs. The review reveals the multifaceted nature of factors influencing gender disparities in financial access and their consequent business performance. While some scholars debate the role of gender discrimination versus differences in motivations and preferences between male and female entrepreneurs, empirical evidence suggests that disparities persist, albeit with variations across regions. Notably, studies highlight differences in loan sizes between women and men, indicating nuanced challenges faced by women in accessing formal finance. Furthermore, contextual factors such as the level of financial development, institutional norms, gender behavior, and individual perceptions shaped by stereotypes contribute to these disparities. Policy initiatives promoting gender equality in financial access and fostering an inclusive business environment emerge as crucial strategies to address these challenges and harness the potential of women entrepreneurs for economic development. This study provides a comprehensive foundation for further research into the determinants of women entrepreneurs' financial access and informs the design of targeted policy interventions aimed at mitigating gender disparities in entrepreneurship.
