Abstract: This research aims to find empirical evidence of the influence of spirituality and competency on the financial accountability of Christian church. Using survey method, data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to treasurers and financial managers in Christian churches in Yogyakarta. The main finding of this research is that spirituality influences financial accountability, while competency does not influence financial accountability. This research can be a reference for churches and other religious institutions to pay attention to human resources factors in practices of financial management and accountability. The novelty of this research is that it emphasizes a different aspect of research, namely human resource factors and was conducted in several churches across denominations and cultures.

Abstract: Background: In the dynamic and demanding property sector, employee performance is significantly influenced by three key factors: work ethic, human relations, and work environment. Work ethic refers to an individual's deeply held beliefs and values about work, which motivate and guide their behavior. Human relations refer to the quality of interactions and relationships between employees and their supervisors, as well as among colleagues. Work environment refers to the physical and social conditions in which employees work, such as the office layout, resources, and culture. This study investigates how human relations and work environment affect work ethic, and shows how work ethic mediates the relationship between human relations and work environment on employee performance.....
