The research uses a quantitative approach with data collected through questionnaires distributed to passengers. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables. The results show that service quality has a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction, while price perception does not have a significant individual effect. However, both variables simultaneously have a significant influence on customer satisfaction. The adjusted R² value of 0.247 indicates that 24.7% of customer satisfaction can be explained by service quality and price perception. The findings suggest that TransJakarta management should prioritize improvements in service quality, especially in terms of punctuality, comfort, and staff responsiveness, while maintaining affordable fare structures to support public accessibility.</p> Cika Valencia Hutagalung Dedy Dewanto Copyright (c) 2025 Cika Valencia Hutagalung, Dedy Dewanto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-11-02 2025-11-02 5 1 10.54595/jmeb.v5i1.102 //jmeb.universitaspertamina.ac.id/index.php/MBEJ/article/view/103 <p>This study aims to determine and analyze the influence of burnout and work-life balance on the performance of employees at PT XYZ Medan Branch.

The data used is secondary data in the form of annual financial reports from 8 pharmaceutical issuers that meet purposive sampling criteria. The analysis was carried out with a non-linear panel data regression model using a quadratic polynomial function to capture complex relationship patterns. The results show that profitability and sales growth have a non-linear positive effect on earnings management, while leverage shows a significant negative effect. However, firm size has no significant effect on earnings management practices. The findings indicate that external pressures, such as creditor scrutiny and market expectations, play an important role in encouraging or limiting earnings management in pharmaceutical companies.</p> Layina Urfiyah Suhari Pranyoto Copyright (c) 2025 Layina Urfiyah, Suhari Pranyoto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-11-02 2025-11-02 5 1 10.54595/jmeb.v5i1.104 //jmeb.universitaspertamina.ac.id/index.php/MBEJ/article/view/105 <p>This study examines inventory control for RON 92 (Pertamax) fuel using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method at Pertashop Ulak Bandung, Muara Enim Regency.
