THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) DISCLOSURE ON FIRM RISK (Empirical Study on Non-Financial Companies Listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange)

This study aims to analyze the influence of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) disclosure on firm risk. ESG disclosure covers the environmental, social and governance issues considered by stakeholders to reflect a company’s accountability. This study used the indicators of GRI-G4 indices to measure the scores of ESG disclosure. Firm risk is represented by total risk which measured by calculating the standard deviation of daily stock returns to reflect the stock volatility. Total risk categorized into systematic risk which measured by calculating the market beta and idiosyncratic risk which measured by calculating the standard deviation of residuals. The measurement of risk in this study based on the Sharpe’s CAPM model. The research object of this study was non-financial companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) that issued sustainability report over the period 2014-2016. This study used purposive sampling method in determining the sample and this study obtained 36 samples of companies as well as 90 firm-year observations. The data used in this study were secondary data which collected by performing documentation study and literature study. The data then tested by using multiple linear regression as analysis method in this study. The findings of this study showed that environmental and social disclosures were significantly negatively influenced the total risk, systematic risk, and idiosyncratic risk. However, the governance disclosure just significantly influenced the total risk and insignificantly influenced the systematic risk and idiosyncratic risk. Nevertheless, the governance disclosure has a positive influence on all of the risk measure

MOTIVATION AND CONFIDENCE OF INDONESIAN TEACHERS TO USE ENGLISH AS A MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION

This research paper investigates the motivation and confidence of Indonesian teachers of non-English to learn English and to use it as a medium of instruction resulting from their participation in a blended learning course. The purpose of the English learning for this particular group of teachers was to enable them to create English-speaking teaching and learning environment. Such environment is perceived as necessary to enhance English language learning and acquisition in some Indonesian vocational schools. The levels of motivation and confidence have been an issue because they potentially either contribute to or hinder English language learners to learn and use English for interactions. This qualitative research was undertaken using an interpretive research paradigm and a case study approach. Qualitative research data were collected from multiple sources such as indepth interviews, observation notes, online interaction script, and reflective journals of the participants. Quantitative data were collected through surveys to add meaning to the qualitative data. The research revealed varying increase in the levels of motivation and confidence of the participants. Transformation of extrinsic to intrinsic motivations appeared to occur. Contributing factors to the increase of the motivation and confidence are discussed in this paper
