A quantitative approach, utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) version 2.0, was employed to analyze data collected from 68 respondents representing 216 Indonesian SME ISPs. The study focused on the relationship between virtualization technology planning, adaptation capability, server consolidation services, and operational cost effectiveness. The findings demonstrate that adaptability to virtualization technology is the most significant factor influencing operational cost efficiency. Effective implementation requires careful planning and a proactive approach to adapting to the technology's demands. Server consolidation services play a crucial role in optimizing resource utilization and reducing costs while virtualization technology offers substantial benefits, SMEs should carefully assess their specific needs and resources before implementation. Factors such as infrastructure, skills, and business objectives should be evaluated to ensure successful adoption and maximize cost savings. This research provides a foundation for further exploration into the impact of virtualization technology on SMEs. Future studies could investigate the applicability of these findings in different contexts, such as other industry sectors or regions. Additionally, examining the long-term effects of virtualization technology adoption and the potential for scalability could offer valuable insights. Further research could also focus on the challenges and opportunities associated with virtualization technology adoption in SMEs with varying sizes and resources.</em></p> Arnastya Iswara Sanantagraha, Erlina Puspitaloka Mahadewi Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Science, Technology & Management https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://ijstm.inarah.co.id/index.php/ijstm/article/view/1188 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Effect Addition Of Soil Amandments And PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) On The Growth And Yield Of Cotton Plants Intercropped With Corn Plants In Dry Land Of North Lombok Regency Of Indonesia https://ijstm.inarah.co.id/index.php/ijstm/article/view/1160 <p><em>This research investigates the effect of soil amendments in the form of cow, </em><em>form </em><em>goat manures and PGPR biofertilizer on cotton plants intercropped with corn in the dry lands of North Lombok Regency. The research aims is to determine the growth and yield response of cotton plants due to the application of soil amendments and PGPR in an intercropped system with corn in dryland areas. The research was conducted from December 2023 to June 2024 in Andalan Village, Bayan District, North Lombok Regency. The method used is an experimental method with field trials. The design used was Randomized Block Design (RBD), incorporating two factors: soil amendment treatment (P) as the main plot and PGPR (K) concentration treatments as the subplot. Soil amendments consisted of three levels: P0 (no cow manure and no goat manure), P1 (20 tons/ha cow manure), P2 (20 tons/ha goat manure). PGPR concentration consisted of four levels: K0 (without PGPR), K1 (20 ml/liter PGPR application), K2 (30 ml/liter PGPR application), and K3 (40 ml/liter PGPR application). The research results indicated that the application of 20 tons/ha of goat manure (P2) produced the highest average across all observed parameters (plant height, number of leaves, branch number, stem diameter, and plant yield). Similarly, the application of 40 ml/liter PGPR produced the highest average for these observed parameters.

People now primarily express their views openly on social media platforms like Twitter, generating a substantial amount of text data for analysis to understand public sentiment. However, the main challenge in this sentiment analysis is determining the most effective machine learning algorithm for classifying public opinion with high accuracy. This study aims to compare the performance of three machine learning algorithms, namely Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest, in analyzing public sentiment towards the Tapera policy. This study analyzes public comment data obtained from Twitter. We measure the accuracy of each algorithm to determine its optimal performance in sentiment classification. The research method consists of several stages, starting with data collection, text preprocessing to clean and prepare data, and then applying the three algorithms to analyze sentiment. The results showed that Naïve Bayes had the highest accuracy of 69.17%, followed by Support Vector Machine with an accuracy of 68.42%, and Random Forest with an accuracy of 66.17%. This shows that Naïve Bayes is the most effective algorithm to use in sentiment analysis of public comments related to the Tapera policy, especially in the context of complex text data from social media. The conclusion of this study is that Naïve Bayes is superior in classifying public sentiment towards the Tapera policy compared to Support Vector Machine and Random Forest. As a result, this study makes a significant contribution to selecting the most appropriate machine learning algorithm for public sentiment analysis towards public policy, which in turn can help the government understand and respond to public perceptions more effectively.</em></p> Eklesia Sihombing, Muhammad Halmi Dar, Fitri Aini Nasution Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Science, Technology & Management https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://ijstm.inarah.co.id/index.php/ijstm/article/view/1162 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Influence Of Workload And Work Environment On The Turnover Intention Of Employees In PT. XYZ https://ijstm.inarah.co.id/index.php/ijstm/article/view/1165 <p><em>This research aims to investigate the impact of workload and work environment on employee turnover intention at PT. XYZ. High turnover intentions can disrupt workforce stability and result in significant costs for the company. Two factors often associated with turnover intention are workload and work environment. Excessive workload can cause stress and fatigue, while an unsupportive work environment can reduce employee satisfaction and commitment. The study uses a quantitative approach, distributing questionnaires to 107 employees and sampling using the saturated sample method. Data analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS software. The hypothesis test tested the influence of workload and work environment on employee turnover intention. The results showed that workload variable (X1) is in the high category, work environment variable (X2) is in the bad category, and turnover intention (Y) is in the medium category. Quantitative data analysis with SEM-PLS showed that workload variables do not have a significant influence on turnover intention, while work environment variables have a significant influence. The research aims to evaluate company management's attention to workload and work environment conditions, with one variable showing a significant positive influence on employee turnover intention.</em></p> Ezra Ezra Rahmansyah, Dian Indiyati Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Science, Technology & Management https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://ijstm.inarah.co.id/index.php/ijstm/article/view/1165 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Effect of E-WOM on Social Media Marketing on Purchase Intention (Case Study: Gallery Vinna) https://ijstm.inarah.co.id/index.php/ijstm/article/view/1166 <p>This study aims to determine the effect of social media marketing through online word of mouth on purchase intention on the Tiktok Gallery Vinna platform as the object of research.

Two classification methods that are often used in data mining, namely K-Nearest Neighbors and Decision Tree, have their own advantages and disadvantages. This study proposes a solution that involves processing student data using both classification methods to identify the most accurate and effective method for identifying purchase intentions. This study aims to compare the performance of the two methods in determining student purchase intentions for MacBook laptops. The research methodology includes collecting data from 100 students covering various factors such as user experience, design and portability, technical specifications, price, and security. This data is then classified using the K-Nearest Neighbors and Decision Tree methods. Furthermore, a confusion matrix is used to provide a more detailed picture of the performance of the two methods. The results of the study show that the Decision Tree method has a higher accuracy (91%) compared to K-Nearest Neighbors (88%). In addition, Decision Tree excels in other metrics such as precision (87.18% vs. 85.71%), recall (89.47% vs. 85.71%), specificity (91.94% vs. 89.66%), and F1-Score (88.31% vs. 85.71%). The decision tree also has a higher NPV value and lower FPR and FNR rates than K-Nearest Neighbors, indicating that it is superior in avoiding misclassification. The study's conclusion is that the Decision Tree method is more effective and accurate than K-Nearest Neighbors in determining students' purchase intentions for MacBook laptops. The decision tree shows better performance in almost all evaluation metrics, making it a more reliable method to use in consumer data analysis. The results of this study are expected to help companies choose a more appropriate and effective analysis method for their marketing strategies, as well as provide a basis for further research in the field of consumer purchase intention classification.</em></p> Intan Fadilla Hasibuan, Deci Irmayani, Volvo Sihombing Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Science, Technology & Management https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://ijstm.inarah.co.id/index.php/ijstm/article/view/1169 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Internal and External Factors in Prevention of Procurement Fraud in Goods and Services Based on E-Procurement https://ijstm.inarah.co.id/index.php/ijstm/article/view/1170 <p><em>The process of goods and services procurement within the government environment still has vulnerabilities to fraud, which necessitates proper handling.
