IEEE
Interpersonal communication is a process of direct interaction and mutual influence between two or more individuals, which plays an important role in forming relationships. In interpersonal communication, the use of verbal and nonverbal language is key to understanding and responding to messages received. Various studies have shown that there are various factors that influence this interpersonal communication process. This study specifically identifies six influential factors. The main objective is to understand how interpersonal communication influences decision making in the human resource management sector. Through a literature review of 1084 papers from Scopus, which were then selected using Biblioshiny, 25 papers were found to be the most relevant for further analysis. Based on the literature collected, the factors that influence interpersonal communication are summarized and analyzed in more depth. In the context of the importance of interpersonal communication, this process is closely related to the decision-making model. Effective communication enables better decision-making, especially in situations involving individual health. Factors such as trust, empathy, and the ability to listen actively can influence how well a message is understood and received, thus playing a direct role in determining the quality of the decisions taken.

Gamification has generated a lot of attention and controversy in organizations as many see it as a powerful tool to motivate individuals and increase activity in business. Not much research has been carried out in the context of gamification applied to the automotive sector in Indonesia. This research aims to try to understand the influence of gamification strategies on employee performance through individual innovative behavior among Mitsubishi dealer employees in Indonesia. A quantitative approach was chosen and applied in this study. Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied as a data analysis technique supported by the Smart-PLS 4 computer software program with a sample size of 120 respondents. The findings of this study indicate that the gamification program has not been able to fully have a positive impact on employee performance, in this case the level of individual employee innovative behavior plays a full mediation role in making gamification in the workplace have a positive impact on improving employee performance. The novelty of this research is that it explores one specific outcome of gamified competition based on affordance theory. It analyzes the role of innovative behavior as a mediating factor and expands the scope of gamification literature by focusing on a workplace context driven by workplace design that incorporates competition through gamification.

Most research on social identity theory has been separately examined either at the team or individual levels. This paper aims to expand the use of the social identity theory and illuminates an emerging mechanism of task interdependence at the individual level that can affect the nature of the team identity by testing how team power distance act as a moderator Iraqi universities, this study employs multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) with Mplus 7.2 to test the model. The results reveal a positive indirect relationship between individual-level task interdependence and team performance through team identity. In addition, team power distance does not moderate a positive relationship between individual-level task interdependence and team identity. This study illuminates the link between task interdependence and team identity, which can eventually occur through a bottom-up mechanism to obtain high team performance. This study is novel for several reasons. First, this study finds a bottom-up mechanism between task interdependence at the individual level to team performance through team identity. Second, this study offers new empirical findings that, in the context of a middle east culture known as the high level of power distance, team power distance (i.e., contextual variable) does not associate with the interdependence of an individual to perform tasks and team identity. In addition, this answers the research call to investigate the dynamic interactions between individuals in teams and team-based overall, which has not been discussed in previous studies.

It is believed that human progress of the times and technological advancements will be of assistance to technology firms in reaching optimal financial performance and prospering in their respective fields. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the size of a company, its leverage, its growing sales, and its liquidity and its financial success, which will be assessed by its return on assets, return on equity, and return on investment. It is difficult to generalize about the impact that the independent variables have on the monetary output of businesses operating in the technology sector in Indonesia. The size of a corporation has a negative impact on a company's ROE and ROI, while having no effect on ROA. There is a wide range of consequences that can be caused by leverage, some of which include a positive influence on ROA, a negative impact on ROE, and no impact on ROI. The increase in sales has no impact whatsoever on ROA, ROE, or ROI. There is no effect of liquidity on ROE, but it does have a negative influence on ROA and ROI.

As a form of sportification of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), eSport are revolutionizing the video game and sports industry in the digital transformation era. Applying Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study aims to try to understand the relationship between the motivations that make people "eSport fans" with their behavior in supporting eSport so that it has an impact on the level of individual innovative behavior. Using Partial Least Squares -Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) as a data analysis approach with the Smart PLS 3 tool was carried out in this study. A survey was conducted among 100 people to investigate their behavior related to eSport at the level of individual innovative behavior. The findings indicate that eSport as intrinsic motivation has a larger role in idea exploration, idea generation, and idea championing than in idea implementation. This contributes to applying SDT in the context of eSport and innovative behavior.
