INTRODUCTION, The introductory section must provide theoretical arguments about the urgency of the variables being studied and their relationship to each dependent variable, phenomena in the research object, and the state of the art of research previously conducted on the same topic and gap analysis to show where the research contributes to the development of topic discourse (novelty). The introductory section can end with an explanation of the purpose or benefits of the research. This section is written without subtopics, justify, time new roman 11 pt, 1 space.

METHODS, This section sequentially contains an explanation of the type of research, research location, population and sampling techniques or informants, data collection methods, data analysis tools and techniques used, measurement indicators for each variable used complete with their sources, a study of the relationship between variables as a basis for drawing each research hypothesis, as well as a research conceptual framework. This section is written without subtopics, justify, time new roman 11 pt, 1 space.

RESULTS, Consists of two large parts, namely results and discussion without having to clearly separate the parts. The division of subsections into Results and Discussion should describe and follow the sequence of research objectives (for example subsections: characteristics of respondents, results of validity and reliability tests, results of hypothesis testing, subdiscussion of the influence of each relationship between variables, managerial implications). The results present empirical findings from the research conducted, while the discussion discusses the findings obtained. Discussion of findings not only presents the story behind the data, but also compares the results obtained with previous studies. Comparison with the results of other research also serves to show the position of the research conducted amidst discourse on relevant topics. In the final section, the managerial meaning of the results and discussions must be presented, especially for the business world. Overall results and discussion should be presented in a clear and concise manner, at least 50 percent of the total page.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS, Conclusions can review the main points of research results, theoretical implications, and applicable recommendations.
