The Position of Maternity Rights for Female Workers in Law Number 13 of 2003 Concerning Labour in the City of Ternate

/in /by

This study examines the position of women’s maternity rights in Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower (Case Study of the Ternate City Manpower Office). Maternity rights are human rights specifically possessed by women due to their reproductive abilities, such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Therefore, the responsibility to fulfil and protect maternity rights is the duty of all parties, especially the government.

This study uses empirical research methods with a descriptive approach. Primary data was obtained directly from the Ternate City Manpower Office, as well as secondary data which included interviews with relevant parties and document studies such as Law No. 13 of 2003. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews and participatory observation. The collected data was then analysed descriptively to describe the position of female workers’ maternity rights and identify existing obstacles.

The results of this study are expected to provide a better understanding of the position of maternity rights and provide input for the Ternate City Manpower Office and related parties to improve professionalism in the workplace for female workers.

The Influence of Stakeholder Pressure on the Extent of Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure and Its Impact on Firm Performance (An Empirical Study on State-Owned Enterprises Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the Period 2020–2023)

/in /by

This study examines the influence of stakeholder pressure on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure and its impact on firm performance among Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020-2023. Using a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), data were collected from 31 SOEs over four years (n=124 observations). The research measures stakeholder pressure through six dimensions: shareholder, employee, consumer, environmental, creditor, and media pressures. CSR disclosure is measured using POJK 51/POJK.03/2017 framework, while firm performance is assessed through Tobin’s Q ratio. Findings reveal that only environmental pressure (β=0.246, p=0.005) and media pressure (β=0.285, p=0.003) significantly influence CSR disclosure. Shareholder pressure (β=0.329, p<0.001) and creditor pressure (β=0.288, p=0.008) positively affect firm performance, while environmental pressure (β=-0.069, p=0.033) and media pressure (β=-0.080, p=0.026) negatively impact performance. CSR disclosure negatively affects firm performance (β=-0.280, p=0.001) and mediates the relationship between environmental/media pressures and performance. The study enriches legitimacy and stakeholder theory by highlighting trade-offs between social transparency and short-term market valuation in emerging markets.
