Abstract The motivation of this study is to examine and provide evidence regarding the interaction of the independent variable (X1) and auditor's work experience (X2) with the audit quality variable (Y) and the interaction of the professional skepticism variable (Z) as a moderator variable in strengthening the interaction of X1 and X2 with variables Y. The research is focused on active Public Accountants (partner auditors) who are licensed and registered with IAPI. The results of distributing questionnaires to Public Accountants obtained 309 questionnaire sample data. The Slovin technique was used in the data collection technique, while the data analysis used the SEM PLS (Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square) method. This study provides evidence that 1) auditor independence has a positive effect on audit quality, 2) auditor's work experience has a positive effect on audit quality, 3) auditor's professional skepticism has an effect on strengthening the relationship between auditor independence and audit quality, and 4) auditor's professional skepticism has an effect on strengthen the relationship between auditor work experience and audit quality.

PurposeThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had major impacts on the performance of construction projects that have adopted social distancing measures. This study examines the effect of social distancing measures on project schedule performance through job reorganization on construction project sites.Design/methodology/approachResponses were obtained through a survey of 154 construction projects and analysed using the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique.FindingsThe findings established that social distancing has a negative effect on schedule performance, social distancing has a positive effect on job re-organization and job re-organization has a positive effect on schedule performance. Additionally, the results indicate that job re-organization partially mediates the relationship between social distancing and schedule performance, while social distancing moderates the relationship between job re-organization and schedule performance with low social distancing having the stronger positive effect.Originality/valueThis study contributes theoretically to a greater understanding of the impact of adopting COVID-19 safety measures such as social distancing on the schedule performance of construction projects. The study also shows how social distancing could lead to schedule performance through job reorganization.

The sample in this study were all auditors in Denpasar City as many as 112 people. Data collection techniques used were interviews with questionnaires with closed multiple choice. In this study, data analysis used the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results of the study found that the overall strength of the model by looking at the coefficient of determination, Q-Square Predictive Relevance and Goodness of Fit (GoF) were declared very good. The first hypothesis, which states that auditor professionalism has a significant positive effect on audit quality. In testing, it was found that the professionalism of the auditors had a negative effect with a p-value below the specified standard, it means that hypothesis 1 (H1) cannot be accepted. Second hypothesis. which states that auditor competence has a significant positive effect on audit quality. In testing, it was found that the auditor's competence had a positive effect with a p-value above the set standard, it means that hypothesis 2 (H2) can be accepted. The third hypothesis, which states that auditor independence has a significant positive effect on audit quality. In testing, it was found that the auditor's independence had a positive effect with a p-value above the set standard, it means that hypothesis 3 (H3) can be accepted.

Poverty is a complex and multidimensional problem that links several dimensions. Statistical method that can explain the relationship between one latent variable with others is Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The purpose of this study is to create a structural model of the relationship between education, health, economy and poverty in Indonesia in 2017 by using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Square approach (SEM-PLS) based on predetermined indicators with the results of 11 valid indicators. Based on the model obtained, health has a significant positive effect on education, health and education have a significant positive effect on the economy and the economy has a significant negative effect on poverty. Segmentation based on the relationship of latent variables in structural models can be overcome by Finite Mixture Partial Least Square (FIMIX-PLS) so that it can identify poverty areas in each province in Indonesia with more homogeneous characteristics. The best segmentation result is number of segments (K) = 2 obtained based on the criteria of AIC, BIC, CAIC and Normed Entropy (EN) with an EN value of 0.964 which means the quality of segment separation is very good. Papua and West Papua provinces form one segment in segment 2, while 32 other provinces form one segment in segment 1.Keywords: Poverty, Structural Equation Modelling, Partial Least Square, Finite Mixture, Segmentation.

This study was set to examine the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) quality, customer preference, satisfaction and continuous usage intention of e-banking services powered by AI solution. To achieve this, a cross-sectional research design was employed to collect data from the bank customers using purposive snowball sampling. In total 274 responses were retrieved from the bank customers that agreed to participate in the study and 246 were useful for the final data analysis. Analysis was done using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach with aid of SmartPLS 3.2.8. A snowball non-probability sampling procedure was used for the data collection. The findings indicate that the AI quality have a positive effect on satisfaction and satisfaction has significant positive effect on the intention of continuing use of e-banking services. However, consumer preference was not significantly related to continuous usage intention of e-banking services. This is practically possible in Nigerian context. Because we observe that majority of the respondents does not have specific preference of using or interacting with e-banking services powered by AI as against those control by human interactions. The implication of this findings is that is the used of AI based services in the Nigerian context is still at it infancy level. Therefore, there is still much to learn from the experience of both planners, implementers and beneficiaries. This study is perhaps, the first of its kind to examine the relationships of AI chatbot quality on customer satisfaction and continuous usage intention of e-banking services. It is therefore, contributes to the development of literature in this direction.

This study aims to analyze the effects of tax knowledge, tax sanctions, and tax socialization on taxpayer compliance, as mediated and moderated by taxpayer awareness level of taxpayer education, respectively. The research sample included 196 taxpayers registered in the Primary South Semarang Tax Office. They were selected using the convenience sampling method. The data analysis employed structural equation modeling with warp partial least square. Results show that tax knowledge, tax sanctions, and tax socialization all have a significant positive effect on taxpayer awareness and taxpayer compliance. Meanwhile, the level of education does not moderate tax knowledge on taxpayer compliance. The taxpayers’ awareness mediates the relationship between tax compliance, on the one hand, and tax knowledge, tax socialization, and tax sanctions on the other hand. Thus, the Directorate General of Taxes must increase the intensity of guidance provided to taxpayers to encourage better compliance and reduce tax avoidance behaviors. Keywords: Tax knowledge; tax sanctions; tax dissemination; taxpayer awareness; taxpayer compliance.
