Selective Collection

The authors analyse the determinants of the commercial container recycling behaviour of small and medium-sized companies in the retail-distribution sector of a representative Spanish city. A conceptual model is proposed, based on the literature on the incentives for and barriers to participation in selective collection programmes. By application of structural equation model methodology to a sample of 245 retail-distribution establishments, the main determinants of recycling were ascertained to be the perceived importance of the environmental problems and the perception of good management by public authorities. However, the free-rider attitude represents a barrier to participation.

Tax Returns

<p align="center"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p><em>DJP </em><em>continues to optimize the collection of tax returns by facilitating a technology-based tax service system, one of which is e-filing that has been running since 2016. </em><em>However, e-filing turned out to have less influence on the delivery of </em><em>Tax Returns (SPT) as reflected in the electronic SPT monitoring data that only met 78% of the 2017 target. This is caused by various problems that arise during the use of e-filing such as individual technology capabilities, loss of efin, forgetting DJP Online account passwords to lack of awareness about the importance of submitting SPT. Problems encounter during the use of e-filing are the basis for evaluating the continued use of e-filling in Palembang. The development of a conceptual model was conducted to evaluate the sustainability of the use of e-filing. The development of a conceptual model basically has a scarcity of supporting theories used and has a complex model. To overcome this problem, Partial Least Squares (PLS) Structural Equation Model (SEM) could be applied to. The results of data analysis found that information quality and service quality did not have a positive influence on the sustainability of the use of e-filing and the level of correlation between information quality, system quality, service quality, and individual ability was still small towards the sustainability of the use of e-filing. The findings of this research are very important for the KPP Pratama in Palembang to analyze the sustainability of the use of e-filing that has been proven empirically, multidimensional and in a specific context. This knowledge could be used as a reference to improve overall quality of taxation for the sake of sustainable use of e-filing.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keyword</em></strong><strong><em>s </em></strong><em>: </em><em>SPT, </em><em>e</em><em>-filing, PLS SEM</em></p><p align="center"><strong><em>Abstrak</em></strong></p><p><em>DJP terus berupaya mengoptimalkan pengumpulan Surat Pemberitahuan Tahunan (SPT) pajak dengan memfasilitasi sistem pelayanan perpajakan berbasis teknologi, salah satunya adalah e-filing yang telah berjalan sejak tahun 2016. Namun, e-filing ternyata kurang berpengaruh terhadap penyampaian SPT yang tergambar pada data hasil monitoring SPT elektronik yang hanya memenuhi 78% dari target sasaran tahun 2017. Hal ini disebabkan oleh berbagai masalah yang muncul selama pemanfaatan e-filing seperti kemampuan teknologi individu, kehilangan efin, lupa password akun DJP Online hingga kurangnya kesadaran tentang pentingnya penyampaian SPT. Permasalahan selama penggunaan e-filing menjadi dasar untuk melakukan evaluasi terhadap keberlangsungan penggunaan e-filling di Palembang. Pengembangan model konseptual dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi keberlanjutan penggunaan e-filing. Pengembangan model konseptual pada dasarnya memiliki kelangkaan teori-teori pendukung yang digunakan dan memiliki model yang kompleks. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini dapat menggunakan Partial Least Squares (PLS) Structural Equation Model (SEM). Hasil analisis data mendapatkan temuan bahwa kualitas informasi dan kualitas layanan tidak memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap keberlanjutan penggunaan e-filing dan tingkat korelasi antara kualitas informasi, kualitas system, kualitas layanan, dan kemampuan individual masih kecil terhadap keberlanjutan penggunaan e-filing. Temuan peneliti ini sangat penting bagi pihak KPP Pratama kota Palembang untuk menganalisa keberlanjutan penggunaan e-filing yang telah dibuktikan secara empiris, multidimensional dan konteks yang spesifik. Pengetahuan ini dapat dapat menjadi acuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas secara keseluruhan demi keberlanjutan penggunaan e-filing.</em></p><p><strong><em>Kata kunci</em></strong><em> : SPT, e-filing, PLS SEM, </em></p>

The Relationship

This paper investigates the relationship between internet security and e-business competence at banking and exchange firms in Jordan. The proposed conceptual model examines the antecedents and consequences of e-business competence and tests its empirical validity. The sample of 152 banking and exchange firms tests the posited structural equation model. The results consistently support the validity of the proposed conceptual model, the results also found that organizations realize the importance of e- business and are willing to proceed further with e-business. Beyond concerns about internet security, their awareness of security hazards and internet performance is minimal. The author concludes that the public awareness of ICT in general is low. In light of the data collected, the author makes recommendations for the interested authorities to improve e-business in Jordan.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design a model in order that government hears citizen voices and welcomes people’s suggestions to improve its performance, it may be regarded as Management By People’s Suggestions. Design/methodology/approach After designing a conceptual model, collected data through the responses of 451 questionnaires from nine areas of Iran Territory Development Plan were analyzed using the structural equation model and an ANOVA. Findings The results indicate three directions are initiatives for the action of using citizens’ opinions to improve government performance. The directions are as follows: the direction of government strategies moving toward citizens’ needs; the direction of developing a seamless, integrated, coordinated, relationship between citizens and authorities; and the direction of centralizing citizens’ suggestions and criticisms. Practical implications This study suggests an approach using citizen feedback to improve government performance in Iran where it appears to be signs of a gap between people and government. Originality/value This paper reveals that, before any effort for citizen relationship management, investigations into effective directions which affect citizen–government relationship seems essential.

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediator roles of attitude toward the web site and user satisfaction on the effect of system quality on net benefit. A new conceptual model for web site success is developed based on previous models in the literature. System quality is one of the most important antecedent of perception of net benefit for customers of B2C sites. The effect of system quality on net benefit has been through user satisfaction in the literature. Some models included attitude toward the web site dimension in the same level with user satisfaction. Therefore, the research model suggested these two variables play mediator roles on the effect of system quality on net benefit. A structural equation model is used to analyze this model. It is statistically proved that attitude toward the web site and user satisfaction play mediator roles on the effect of system quality on net benefit.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between internet security and e-business competence in Jordan. The proposed conceptual model examined the antecedents and consequences of e-business competence of its empirical validity, the sample of 152 banking and exchange firms, and tests the posited structural equation model. Results consistently support the validity of the proposed conceptual model, finding that both organizations realize the importance of e- business for their business and are willing to proceed further with e- business. In this regard, businesses are highly concerned about internet security, their awareness of security hazards, and minimal internet performance, concluding that public awareness of the ICT is very low. In light of the data collected, the study has proposed certain recommendations for the interested authorities to improve e- business in Jordan.
