Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of access to financing, consumer trust, and business networks on the sustainability of culinary MSMEs in Bangka Belitung, with adaptation strategy as a mediating variable in the post-pandemic era. This topic is important as culinary MSMEs face sustainability challenges due to changing consumer behavior, limited resources, and dynamic market conditions. A quantitative approach was employed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with 189 respondents. The results indicate that consumer trust and business networks significantly influence adaptation strategy, while access to financing shows a weaker effect. Furthermore, adaptation strategy emerges as the most dominant factor influencing business sustainability and serves as a partial mediator between the independent variables and sustainability. These findings highlight that MSME sustainability is not solely determined by resource availability, but by the ability to strategically adapt to changing business environments.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of access to financing, consumer trust, and business networks on the sustainability of culinary MSMEs, with adaptation strategies as a mediating variable in the post-pandemic period. This study used a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. Data were collected from culinary MSMEs in Bangka Belitung through a purposive sampling technique. The results showed that access to financing, consumer trust, and business networks significantly influenced adaptation strategies. Furthermore, adaptation strategies were shown to have the strongest and most significant influence on business sustainability and acted as a mediator in the relationship between the independent variables and business sustainability. Meanwhile, access to financing did not have a direct effect on business sustainability. These findings indicate that the sustainability of culinary MSMEs is determined not only by the availability of resources but also by the ability of business actors to adapt business strategies to environmental changes. Therefore, strengthening adaptive capacity is a key factor in increasing the resilience and sustainability of culinary MSMEs.
