Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to empirically examine the direct effect of digital literacy on entrepreneurial intention and its indirect effect, mediated by locus of control, among accounting students. Research Method: This explanatory quantitative research involved 98 accounting students at STIE Yapis Dompu, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an offline questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. The variables examined were digital literacy, locus of control, and entrepreneurial intention. Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS to test both direct and mediating effects. Results and Discussion: The findings show that all hypotheses were accepted. Digital literacy has a positive and significant effect on locus of control and entrepreneurial intention. Locus of control also has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial intention and significantly mediates the relationship between digital literacy and entrepreneurial intention. These results indicate that students’ technological competence, supported by strong self-belief and internal control, can strengthen their commitment to entrepreneurship. Implications: Higher education institutions should integrate practical digital literacy training and character-building programs into the curriculum to strengthen students’ internal locus of control. Future studies may include moderating variables such as subjective norms or family entrepreneurial background. Originality: This study contributes by explaining how locus of control bridges digital literacy and entrepreneurial intention among accounting students in Dompu.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to empirically examine the effects of digital marketing strategy and service quality on purchasing decisions, using purchase intention as a mediating variable in a fashion MSME. Research Method: This explanatory quantitative study employed purposive sampling to select 97 active social media followers. Data were collected via online Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results and Discussion: Findings reveal that digital marketing directly and significantly influences purchasing decisions without building purchase intention. Conversely, service quality does not directly impact purchasing decisions; rather, it requires purchase intention as a full psychological mediator to generate real transactions. Implications: Fashion MSMEs should deploy aggressive digital marketing to drive quick sales conversions while simultaneously optimizing customer service quality to cultivate purchase intention for long-term engagement. Originality: This research resolves theoretical inconsistencies regarding the direct effects of digital marketing and service quality by integrating purchase intention as a psychological mediator in the highly dynamic digital fashion MSME sector.
