Karyawan terkadang menghadapi situasi dilematis dalam pelaksanaan tugas di tempat kerja, sehingga mendorong untuk terlibat dalam mengambil keputusan etis. Perilaku pengambilan keputusan etis karyawan dapat diprediksi oleh intensinya. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 2 studi yaitu studi penelitian korelasional (studi 1) dan studi penelitian terapan (studi 2). Studi 1 bertujuan mengeksplorasi faktor yang berperan terhadap intensi pengambilan keputusan etis dari perspektif Teori Perilaku Terencana. Selanjutnya, studi 2 bertujuan untuk melihat efektivitas intervensi dalam meningkatkan intensi pengambilan keputusan etis. Survei dilakukan pada 250 orang Karyawan di Organisasi X dengan menggunakan metode analisis korelasi dan regresi linear berganda. Pada studi 1 digunakan alat ukur Skala Ajzen dan Fishbein, serta diperoleh hasil bahwa sikap terhadap pengambilan keputusan etis dapat memprediksi intensi untuk mengambil keputusan etis (r = .42, β = .42, p < .05, signifikan pada l.o.s 0,05), sedangkan norma subyektif dan kendali perilaku tidak dapat memprediksi intensi mengambil keputusan etis. Pada studi 2 diajukan intervensi Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia yaitu dalam bentuk pelatihan, coaching dan mentoring. Intervensi yang telah dilakukan adalah pelatihan daring, sedangkan coaching dan mentoring secara tatap muka merupakan intervensi lanjutan yang direkomendasikan pada Organisasi X. Pelatihan daring bertujuan untuk memberi pengetahuan dan pemahaman tentang pengambilan keputusan etis, yang diharapkan menjadi langkah awal untuk mengubah sikap karyawan menjadi semakin positif terhadap pengambilan keputusan etis. Pelatihan daring diikuti 27 orang karyawan yang memiliki skor terendah pada variabel sikap dan menerapkan metode pre test dan post test. Ditemukan bahwa pelatihan efektif menambah pengetahuan dan pemahaman peserta tentang pengambilan keputusan etis. Pembelajaran yang diperoleh peserta setelah pelatihan dilihat dari nilai rata-rata post test yang lebih tinggi dari nilai rata-rata pre test, yang dievaluasi melalui uji paired sample t-test dan uji wilcoxon sign rank test. ......Employees sometimes face dilemma situations in carrying out their duties in the workplace, thus encouraging them to be involved in making ethical decisions. Employees' ethical decision-making behavior can be predicted by their intention. This research consists of 2 studies, namely correlational research studies (study 1) and applied research studies (study 2). Study 1 aims to explore the factors that contribute to ethical decisionmaking intention from the perspective of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Furthermore, Study 2 aims to look at the effectiveness of the intervention in increasing ethical decisionmaking intention. The survey was conducted on 250 employees in Organization X using the method of correlation analysis and multiple linear regression. In Study 1, the Ajzen and Fishbein Scale measuring instruments were used, and the results obtained that attitudes towards ethical decision making can predict the intention to make ethical decisions (r = .42, β = .42, p < .05, significant at 0.05), while subjective norms and perceived behavioral control can not predict ethical decision-making intention. In study 2, human resource management interventions were proposed, namely training, coaching and mentoring. The intervention that has been carried out is online training, while faceto-face coaching and mentoring are further interventions recommended for Organization X. The online training aims to provide knowledge and understanding of ethical decision making, which is expected to be the first step to change employees’ attitude to become more positive towards ethical decision making. The online training was attended by 27 employees who had the lowest score on the attitude variable and it applied the pre-test and post-test methods. It was found that the training was effective in increasing the participants' knowledge and understanding of ethical decision making. The learning gained by the participants after the training was seen from the post-test average value which was higher than the pre-test average value, which was evaluated through the paired sample t-test and the Wilcoxon sign rank test.

Over the last few decades, East Asian economies has emerged as the most dynamic growth center of the world economy. The spectacular success of Fast Asia's outward-oriented industrialization demonstrated a dynamic nexus of comparative advantage changes and industrial modernization — multiple catching up-flying geese pattern of industrialization. At the same time, there has also been an increase in regional bias economic interdependence of these economies. Thus, this study focuses on the "challenges and opportunities of the restructuring efforts of the East Asian economies in the 1990s and the need for a conducive regional cooperation to accelerate and sustain the East Asian dynamism. The study of the resulting structural and industrial shift behavior in East Asia is undertaken by using a sort of descriptive technique on: RCA Index — to discern the shift pattern of trade and industrial specialization and structural adjustment, and Iff Index, to examine the degree of complementarity and economic integration in the region. The basic idea is to evaluate the extent to which the resultant structural adjustment of East Asian Economies over the last few decades have led to a market driven integration in the region. The study has confirmed many important behavioral relationships between the export-led industrialization and structural adjustment in East Asia region. The East Asian economies' industrial structures have become increasingly competitive and complementary, in which a very sophisticated sub-regional division of labor has been developed according to the domestic corresponding comparative advantage, factor and technologically capacity. At the same time, the study also conveys clearly that in the wake of outward-oriented mechanism of economic growth, a de facto economic integration has been evolved and seems to be continuously strengthened in East Asia. 'Ile progress of intra-industry trade intensified the direct interdependence of industrial structural among East Asian countries, and hence contributes to the natural formation of an organically integrated economic community among them on the basis of trade-investment nexus. The implications drawn from this study suggests that, in today's increasingly interdependent, globalized, and competitive international trade environment, it is likely that the region's policy makers have recently find it necessary to consider an institutional mechanism for regional economic cooperation — open regionalism -- to continue the existing East Asian dynamism. Given the need for more coordination and harmonization of national policies, the region's economies should reframe and/or establish congenial macro-economic framework to expedite and maximize the benefits of the ongoing market driven integration growth. The participative synergy generated through regional cooperation may also provide the impetus for infusing greater dynamism in the trade expansion efforts which will be diffused throughout the region and even throughout the world 'economy.

Jumlah cardholder yang masih relatif kecil untuk ukuran penduduk Indonesia memungkinkan para issuer kartu kredit untuk memperbesar market share mereka. Salah satu caranya dengan memperluas target market. Jika pada awalnya kartu kredit hanya bagi kaum profesional, maka saat ini mahasiswa pun dapat memilikinya. Kondisi inilah yang mendasari penulis untuk melakukan penelitian terhadap perilaku para mahasiswa di DKI Jakarta untuk memutuskan membeli kartu kredit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk: (1) mengetahui variabel yang mempengaruhi keputusan pembelian kartu kredit oleh mahasiswa; (2) bagairnana opini mereka terhadap kartu kredit. Skripsi ini selain mencoba menjawab kedua permasalahan tersebut, juga menganalisis kondisi industri kartu kredit di tanah air. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif-explanatory dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui library research dan survey lapangan. Respondennya adalah para mahasiswa di DKI Jakarta yang sampelnya ditentukan secara proporsional Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa ada enam variabel perilaku konsumen yang mempengaruhi keputusan pembelian kartu kredit oleh mahasiswa yaitu (diurutkan berdasarkan variabel yang paling berpengaruh) ; variabel situasi pemakaian, pengetahuan, situasi komunikasi, kelas sosial, kelompok acuan dan gaya hidup. Opini responden terhadap alasan mengapa dia memilih kartu kredit jenis tertentu sangat dipengaruhi berturut-turut (berdasarkan faktor yang paling berpengaruh) oleh faktor kepraktisan kartu kredit, pelayanan yang memuaskan dari para bank issuer, persyaratan kepemilikan yang mudah, rentang jatuh tempo yang cukup panjang, bunga kredit yang kecil, reputasi dari bank issuer kartu kredit dan yang terakhir adalah kegunaan kartu kredit untuk berbagai macam transaksi. Meskipun kondisi perekonomian masih lesu namun bisnis kartu kredit masih relatif lebih balk dibandingkan dengan jenis pinjaman lainnya seperti corporate, commercial maupun perorangan karena walaupun jumlah kartu banyak tapi credit limit per kartu kecil sehingga resiko bisnis masih terkendali. Analisis yang dilakukan oleh penulis terhadap berbagai data lapangan yang terkumpul mengacu pada model pendekatan perilaku konsumen yang dikemukakan oleh Engel, Blackwell dan Miniard dalam buku Consumer Behavior mereka. Disamping beberapa buku teks pemasaran dan psikologi.
