A higher bond rating typically leads to lower costs for the company. Most investors tend to avoid bonds with poor credit ratings. This research aims to examine how profitability, liquidity, and leverage influence bond prices, using bond ratings as a key variable. The study population comprises all firms listed on the Indonesian stock market from 2019 to 2021, totaling 116 entities. Through purposive sampling, the research focused on 72 companies that met specific criteria: firms that issued reports in rupiah, generated profits, and were rated by PT Pefindo. The study employed path analysis to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal that profitability, liquidity, and leverage have minimal impact on bond ratings. Furthermore, changes in liquidity and leverage do not affect bond prices. However, profitability and bond ratings significantly influence bond prices. The study also shows that bond ratings do not mediate the effects of liquidity and leverage on bond prices. Nonetheless, bond ratings reflect the yield of bond prices. In conclusion, this study finds that while profitability, liquidity, and leverage do not significantly affect bond ratings, bond prices are influenced by profitability and bond ratings. The practical implications suggest that bond ratings and bond prices play a pivotal role in enhancing company performance, particularly in terms of managing liquidity to meet interest and installment obligations and leveraging strategies to boost income.</p> Andarwati Andarwati Copyright (c) 2024 Andarwati Andarwati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-11-25 2024-11-25 8 4 press press 10.23887/ijssb.v8i4.82928 https://ejournal.undiksha.ac.id/index.php/IJSSB/article/view/77207 <div><span lang="EN-US">This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing individuals to be involved in informal sectors in Indonesia. The factors include gender, marital status, age, education, migration, employment type, working hours, and income. Analyzing SAKERNAS 2020 data released by BPS using logistic regression method, this study found that all these factors have a significant influence on the employment sector (both informal and formal). The subjects’ characteristics such as being female, having particular marital status, aged over 40, educated at the senior high school level or lower, non-migrant status, involvement in agricultural business, working more than 8 hours a day, and earning a monthly income of 5 million rupiah, were found to influence individual preference of working in informal sectors. The study showed inequalities and gaps among individuals working in informal sectors in Indonesia, highlighting the need for the policymakers’ intervention to provide stimuli that can improve the welfare of informal economic actors and provide them with social protection.</span></div> Wildan Syafitri Silvi Asna Prestianawati Muhammad Fawwaz Tsumma Lazuardini Imamia Amran Rasli Copyright (c) 2024 Wildan Syafitri, Silvi Asna Prestianawati, Muhammad Fawwaz, Tsumma Lazuardini Imamia, Amran Rasli https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-11-25 2024-11-25 8 4 press press 10.23887/ijssb.v8i4.77207
