Abstract

The growing demand for quality higher education in developing countries has placed private higher education institutions (PHEIs) under increasing pressure to build and sustain competitive advantage. Yet, how internal strategic capabilities collectively shape long-term competitiveness in these institutions remains insufficiently explored. This study investigates the influence of research capacity and marketing capability on sustainable competitive advantage among PHEIs in Indonesia, with strategic agility serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative explanatory design was adopted, drawing on survey data from 318 institutional leaders and analyzed through PLS-SEM. The findings reveal that both research capacity (β = 0.509, p < 0.001) and marketing capability (β = 0.455, p < 0.001) exert positive and significant direct effects on sustainable competitive advantage. However, strategic agility exhibits a significant negative direct effect (β = –0.367, p < 0.001), suggesting that excessive short-term responsiveness may undermine institutional stability. The mediation analysis indicates that strategic agility positively mediates the relationship between research capacity and competitive advantage, but negatively mediates the marketing capability–competitive advantage path. These findings contribute to the resource-based view and dynamic capabilities literature by demonstrating the nuanced role of strategic agility in higher education settings, offering practical guidance for PHEI leaders seeking to balance adaptability with long-term institutional coherence. The study extends the marketing capability literature by showing where market sensing strength becomes self-defeating, and offers PHEI leaders a clearer rule: deploy marketing capability for direct positioning, but moderate the speed and frequency of the strategic shifts it triggers.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between career adaptability and career anxiety among job-seeking individuals with disabilities in Indonesia and tested the mediating role of Future Time Perspective (FTP) within the frameworks of Career Construction Theory and Social Cognitive Career Theory. Survey data from 120 respondents were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. Results show that career adaptability significantly reduces career anxiety and strongly predicts FTP. However, FTP neither predicts career anxiety nor mediates the relationship between adaptability and anxiety. These findings suggest that under structural labor-market constraints, adaptability functions primarily as a direct self-regulatory resource rather than through future-oriented cognition. The study highlights contextual limits of temporal cognition models and underscores the importance of strengthening adaptability in career interventions for individuals with disabilities
