As AI systems become more prevalent in auditing practices, concerns regarding transparency and interpretability are increasingly relevant. XAI offers a solution by making AI-driven insights more understandable, thereby supporting professional judgment and reducing reliance on black-box systems. A quantitative approach was used, involving 100 professional auditors who completed a structured questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. The findings revealed that XAI significantly influences auditors' decision-making quality, particularly in enhancing decision accuracy, risk assessment, and confidence in professional judgments. Regression analysis showed a strong positive relationship between XAI and decision-making quality, with XAI explaining 46.2% of the variance. These results highlight the importance of implementing explainable AI technologies to foster trust, accountability, and effectiveness in auditing practices across Indonesia.</p> Trinandari Prasetya Nugrahanti Fardiman Fardiman Laela Lanjarsih Primadonna Ratna Henny Ritha Copyright (c) 2025 Trinandari Prasetya Nugrahanti, Fardiman Fardiman, Laela Lanjarsih, Primadonna Ratna, Henny Ritha https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-07-31 2025-07-31 3 03 204 211 10.58812/esaf.v3i03.666 A Bibliometric Exploration Whistleblowing Intention Research in Corporate Governance and Ethics https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/677 <p>This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scholarly research on whistleblowing intention within the context of corporate governance and business ethics.

This study offers strategic insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers by identifying influential scholars, core themes, and future research opportunities to strengthen whistleblowing mechanisms and ethical decision-making in organizations.</p> Loso Judijanto Septi Wifasari Copyright (c) 2025 Loso Judijanto, Septi Wifasari https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-07-31 2025-07-31 3 03 212 222 10.58812/esaf.v3i03.677 The Impact of Financial Literacy, Invesment Decision-Making, Risk Tolerance, and Behavioral Biases on Individual Invesment Performance https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/668 <p>This study investigates the influence of financial literacy, investment decision making, risk tolerance, and behavioral biases on individual investment performance among investors in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 200 respondents through a structured questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale. The analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results reveal that all four variables—financial literacy, investment decision making, risk tolerance, and behavioral biases—have a significant and positive effect on individual investment performance. Financial literacy and investment decision making emerged as the most dominant predictors, while risk tolerance and behavioral biases also contributed positively. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing financial knowledge, promoting structured decision-making, and managing psychological influences to improve investment outcomes. The study contributes to both the behavioral finance literature and practical financial education strategies in the Indonesian context.</p> Nekky Rahmiyati Kadari Somodiharjo Copyright (c) 2025 Nekky Rahmiyati, Kadari Somodiharjo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-07-31 2025-07-31 3 03 223 237 10.58812/esaf.v3i03.668 Mapping the Intellectual Structure and Research Trends of Budgetary Slack https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/676 <p>This study aims to map the intellectual structure and research trends of budgetary slack through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of peer-reviewed publications from 1980 to 2024.

The findings reveal both well-established and underexplored areas, offering valuable direction for future research and practical implications for budgeting practices across organizational settings.</p> Loso Judijanto Setia Budi Kurniawan Copyright (c) 2025 Loso Judijanto, Setia Budi Kurniawan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-07-31 2025-07-31 3 03 238 249 10.58812/esaf.v3i03.676 Trends and Dynamics of Literature about Working Capital Management Published in 2000-2024 https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/675 <p>This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the literature on Working Capital Management (WCM) published between 2000 and 2024. Drawing data from the Scopus database and employing VOSviewer for visualization, the research maps the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and collaborative networks within the field. The analysis reveals that WCM research has expanded from a focus on profitability and liquidity toward more interdisciplinary concerns, including knowledge management, human capital, social capital, and sustainability. Co-citation and keyword co-occurrence networks identify three major thematic clusters: traditional financial efficiency, strategic-financial integration, and behavioral-organizational perspectives. Temporal overlays indicate that emerging themes such as psychological capital, leadership, and sustainability have gained prominence in recent years. Additionally, the country collaboration network highlights the global nature of WCM research, with active contributions from both developed and emerging economies. This study not only synthesizes two decades of scholarly development in WCM but also provides insights for future research directions that integrate finance with strategy, technology, and organizational behavior.</p> Loso Judijanto Copyright (c) 2025 Loso Judijanto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-07-31 2025-07-31 3 03 250 259 10.58812/esaf.v3i03.675 The Influence of Behavioral Biases on Individual Taxpayer Compliance Decisions in Indonesia https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esaf/article/view/667 <p>This study investigates the influence of behavioral bias and financial literacy on tax compliance decisions among individual taxpayers in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 250 respondents through a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale (1–5). The analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, with validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests confirming the robustness of the data. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that behavioral bias has a negative and significant effect on tax compliance, indicating that cognitive distortions—such as overconfidence, loss aversion, and mental accounting—reduce the likelihood of compliance. Conversely, financial literacy has a positive and significant influence, suggesting that financially literate individuals are more likely to understand tax obligations and comply voluntarily. The regression model explains 43.2% of the variance in tax compliance decisions. These findings underscore the importance of addressing psychological barriers and enhancing taxpayer education to improve voluntary compliance in Indonesia.</p> Loso Judijanto William Indra S.

This study uses primary data by distributing questionnaires to 200 taxpayers who are still included in the Gen-Z age group. The research sample was determined using a purposive sampling method. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis, assisted by IBM SPSS Statistics 26.00 software. The results of this study indicate that the increase in the Value Added Tax rate and tax literacy partially have a significant and positive effect on the potential for Value Added Tax revenue. This study has limitations in that it only took samples from taxpayers from the Gen-Z generation and only those domiciled in Jakarta.</p> Yohanes Mardinata Rusli Tandry Whittleliang Hakki Merna Surjadi Copyright (c) 2025 Yohanes Mardinata Rusli, Tandry Whittleliang Hakki, Merna Surjadi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-07-31 2025-07-31 3 03 271 281 10.58812/esaf.v3i03.672
