Using a census approach, all 60 employees were surveyed through structured questionnaires. The analyses included validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, determination analysis, and t-tests and F-tests to assess the significance of individual and combined variables, respectively. The findings reveal that employee motivation positively and significantly impacts frontline service performance; the non-physical work environment also has a positive and significant effect on frontline service performance; and both variables together create a robust influence on the quality of services delivered. These results underscore the need for organizations to prioritize communication, managerial support, and a supportive organizational climate to enhance service delivery and exceed customer expectations. This research contributes to the field of marketing by providing empirical evidence on the interplay between internal workplace dynamics and frontline service performance. By integrating employee motivation and environmental factors into service quality frameworks, the study highlights strategic pathways for improving customer satisfaction and strengthening competitive positioning in both local and global markets.</p> Tjokorda Gde Agung Wijaya Kesuma Suryawan, Ni Kadek Merta Yani ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ojs.unr.ac.id/index.php/Equilibrium/article/view/1368 Mon, 31 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000 THE EFFECT OF GREEN MARKETING AND PRODUCT QUALITY ON PURCHASING DECISIONS FOR COCONUT SHELL CRAFTS AT YANDE BATOK UMKM IN KLUNGKUNG REGENCY https://ojs.unr.ac.id/index.php/Equilibrium/article/view/1441 <p><em>In the modern business world, environmentally conscious marketing is becoming increasingly popular.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of savings growth, deposit growth and credit growth on LPD profitability in Tabanan District. The types of data sources used in this study are qualitative and quantitative data types and use secondary data sources. The population in this study is LPD in Tabanan District which has 12 LPD units. The sampling method in this study is using a saturated sampling technique, where a sample of 12 LPDs was taken as samples with five years of observation so that the number of observations was 60. This study uses a data collection method in the form of a non-participant observation method. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the results of the analysis that has been carried out, it is obtained that savings growth has a positive effect on profitability. While the growth of deposits and credit does not have a significant effect on the profitability of LPD Tabanan District. The limitation of this study is that it only examines Regional Credit Institutions (LPD) in Tabanan sub-district, so the results of this study cannot necessarily be generalized to LPDs in other areas. This study contributes in providing ideas and input on financial management and improving operational systems in managing financial institutions. This study contributes by exploring the influence of savings, deposits and credit growth on profitability in LPDs in Tabanan sub-district, which has not been widely studied in previous studies.</em></p> Gregorius Paulus Tahu ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ojs.unr.ac.id/index.php/Equilibrium/article/view/1450 Mon, 31 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000 THE INFLUENCE OF PRODUCT QUALITY AND SERVICE QUALITY ON CONSUMER PURCHASING DECISIONS ON RICE PRODUCTS AT KUD ARTHA MULIA JAYA PEJENG GIANYAR DISTRICT https://ojs.unr.ac.id/index.php/Equilibrium/article/view/1480 <p><span lang="EN-US">Consumer behavior is closely related to the sales level of a company because purchasing decisions play a crucial role in this process.
