Abstract

This study examines the influence of leadership styles and employee competency on employee performance within a sub-district government office in Indonesia. It responds to persistent challenges in local public service delivery, including procedural inefficiencies, low timeliness, limited employee initiative, and inadequate adoption of participatory leadership and digital competencies. Employing a quantitative associative design, the study uses a saturated sampling technique involving all 25 employees. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression, supported by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. The findings indicate that leadership style has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (β = 0.511; p < 0.05), while employee competency exerts a stronger and more significant influence (β = 0.618; p < 0.05). Simultaneously, both variables significantly predict performance, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.757, suggesting substantial explanatory power. These results highlight the critical role of competency, particularly technical and digital skills, in shaping performance within stable bureaucratic contexts. This study contributes to public administration literature by integrating leadership and competency perspectives within a micro-level governance setting and providing empirical evidence from an underexplored sub-district context in a developing country.

Abstract

This study examines platform capitalism and uneven digital transformation in social media–based property marketing in Indonesia, focusing on organizational constraints that shape marketing practices. While digital transformation is often framed as a linear path to efficiency and increased sales, this study argues that in the Global South it is inherently uneven, mediated by platform logics and internal organizational limitations. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving key informants from a property company in North Sumatra. Data were analyzed using an interactive model supported by triangulation. The findings show that social media platforms function not only as promotional tools but also as market infrastructures mediating early interactions between firms and consumers. Visual content operates as symbolic capital shaping consumer perception and engagement. However, digital marketing effectiveness is constrained by limited human resources, inadequate content production, and the absence of an integrated Customer Relationship Management system, resulting in fragmented implementation. This indicates that digital transformation remains partial and uneven at the organizational level, reinforcing dependence on platform algorithms. This study contributes by reconceptualizing digital marketing as a platform-mediated social practice and identifying organizational constraints as a key locus of digital inequality. It recommends strengthening digital capacity, integrated systems, and community-based digital literacy to support inclusive and sustainable development.

Abstract

The rapid growth of e-commerce has encouraged businesses to adopt digital marketing strategies such as live streaming and influencer reviews to influence consumer purchasing behavior. However, limited studies have examined the mediating role of consumer confidence, particularly in the context of health supplement products characterized by high perceived risk. This study aims to analyze the effects of live streaming and influencer reviews on purchase decisions and investigate the mediating role of consumer confidence. A quantitative approach was employed using an associative research design with purposive sampling. Data were collected from 384 consumers in Medan Denai. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that live streaming significantly influences both purchase decisions and consumer confidence, while influencer reviews significantly enhance consumer confidence but do not directly affect purchase decisions. Consumer confidence significantly influences purchase decisions and mediates the relationships between live streaming, influencer reviews, and purchase decisions. These findings highlight the importance of consumer confidence as a psychological mechanism that transforms digital marketing activities into purchasing behavior. The study contributes to digital marketing literature and provides practical insights for e-commerce businesses in developing strategies that strengthen consumer confidence to improve purchasing decisions.

Abstract

Islamic banking is increasingly expected to achieve not only financial performance but also environmental, social, and governance sustainability in line with the principles of Maqasid al-Shariah. However, empirical evidence examining the role of intellectual capital in promoting sustainable financial performance remains limited. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of intellectual capital, measured using the Islamic banking value-added intellectual coefficient, on sustainable financial performance in Indonesian Islamic commercial banks. A quantitative ex post facto design was employed using secondary data from nine Islamic commercial banks during 2020–2024, resulting in 36 bank-year observations. The data were analyzed using Higher-Order PLS-SEM. The findings reveal that intellectual capital positively and significantly influences sustainable financial performance. Furthermore, sustainable financial performance positively affects financial, environmental, social, and governance performance, indicating that sustainability is reflected across multiple organizational dimensions. The structural model demonstrates satisfactory explanatory power, predictive relevance, and good model fit. These findings confirm that intellectual capital is a strategic resource for strengthening sustainability-oriented performance in Islamic banking.
