Abstract

Abstract: This community empowerment initiative aims to enhance the digital readiness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Permata Baru Village, Ogan Ilir Regency, through the implementation of information systems and digital promotion strategies. Prior to the program, local MSME actors faced several challenges, including limited digital literacy, a lack of understanding of online marketing strategies, and minimal utilization of social media as a promotional tool, resulting in restricted market reach. The program adopts an educational and participatory approach, combining community-based learning, interactive discussions, and consultation sessions facilitated by lecturers and students from the Faculty of Economics, Sriwijaya University. The findings indicate strong enthusiasm among MSME participants and an improved understanding of how digitalization can expand market access. Participants have begun to utilize social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to promote their products. Overall, this initiative contributes to advancing digital literacy and technology-based marketing skills among rural MSMEs, thereby fostering inclusive and sustainable local economic growth.

Abstract

Gig economy continues to expand rapidly, reshaping employment patterns among young generations, particularly Generation Z raised in digital environments. This study investigates the effects of digital literacy, self-efficacy, and career orientation on university students’ readiness for the gig economy. A quantitative approach was employed involving 227 Generation Z students from Universitas Sriwijaya. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The measurement model demonstrated strong validity and reliability, with factor loadings above 0.70, AVE values exceeding 0.50, and composite reliability above 0.90. The structural model showed substantial explanatory power (R² = 0.639; Q² = 0.403). Self-efficacy (β = 0.356) and career orientation (β = 0.358) emerged as the strongest predictors, while digital literacy also had a significant effect (β = 0.195). These findings highlight that gig economy readiness is shaped by the integration of digital competence, psychological capacity, and career clarity, underscoring the importance of strengthening digital literacy, self-efficacy development, and career planning services in higher education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyzes electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Palembang, Indonesia by extending the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with environmental concern and government support. EV adoption is increasingly important as cities seek to reduce transport emissions, but growing urban areas still face practical and behavioral barriers. A quantitative survey of 300 EV users in Palembang was conducted through an online questionnaire capturing daily experience, perceived benefits, ease of use, and views on government support. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have positive and significant effects on EV adoption. Perceived ease of use also has a positive and significant effect on attitude, and attitude further supports adoption. Environmental concern and government support likewise have positive and significant effects, indicating that care for the environment and supportive policies and infrastructure strengthen users’ decisions. Overall, the results suggest that EV adoption is shaped by both technology perceptions and wider policy support. These findings imply that faster EV uptake in Palembang can be supported by improving usability and charging convenience, communicating clear benefits, and expanding incentives, charging facilities, and consistent public information to reduce uncertainty and encourage wider adoption locally.
