Abstract

General Background: MSMEs play an important role in Indonesia’s economy, yet business independence remains a central challenge for small enterprise sustainability. Specific Background: Samiler cracker business owners in the Kayangan Industrial Center face intense business competition, inactive producers, and continued dependence on assistance despite receiving empowerment programs. Knowledge Gap: Previous research has examined the direct relationship between entrepreneurial motivation and business independence, but has not sufficiently addressed the external role of community empowerment as a moderating variable in Samiler cracker MSMEs. Aims: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between entrepreneurial motivation and MSME independence and to examine community empowerment as a moderating variable among 31 active Samiler cracker business owners in Kayangan Village, Jombang. Results: SEM PLS analysis using SmartPLS 4.0 showed that entrepreneurial motivation had a positive and significant relationship with MSME independence, with a path coefficient of 0.643, T statistic of 6.207, and P value of 0.000. Community empowerment moderated the relationship between entrepreneurial motivation and MSME independence, with a path coefficient of 0.317, T statistic of 2.603, and P value of 0.009. The R square value of 0.720 indicated that 72% of MSME independence was explained by the research model. Novelty: This study positions community empowerment as a moderating mechanism in the entrepreneurial motivation and MSME independence model. Implications: Empowerment programs can be evaluated and improved to support more independent Samiler MSME management. Highlights:  The structural model explained 72% of business autonomy. Motivation showed a positive significant path coefficient. Community programs strengthened the tested moderation pathway.

Abstract

General Background: Sustainable irrigation management depends on both physical infrastructure and active farmer involvement through Water User Associations. Specific Background: The Gede Irrigation Area in Widang District supports intensive rice production, yet participation among HIPPA members remains variable and irrigation networks experience physical maintenance problems. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies report inconsistent findings regarding socioeconomic determinants such as age and family dependents, while evidence concerning HIPPA participation specifically in the Gede Irrigation Area remains limited. Aims: This study analyzed socioeconomic and accessibility factors associated with HIPPA farmer participation in irrigation maintenance using 88 respondents selected through proportional stratified random sampling and multiple linear regression. Results: The model explained 71.0% of participation variance (R² = 0.710; F = 33.014; p < 0.001). Age (B = −0.623; p < 0.001), farming experience (B = 0.286; p < 0.001), land area (B = −1.999; p = 0.014), residence distance (B = −0.008; p < 0.001), and rice-field distance (B = 0.010; p < 0.001) were significant, whereas family dependents were not (B = 0.258; p = 0.579). Novelty: The study jointly evaluates socioeconomic characteristics and physical accessibility within the specific institutional context of three HIPPA groups in the Gede Irrigation Area. Implications: Individual characteristics and accessibility should be considered when designing strategies for irrigation-network maintenance involvement. Highlights: The six-predictor model explained 71.0% of observed variance. Family dependents remained nonsignificant with p = 0.579. Residence distance recorded −0.008, whereas field distance recorded 0.010. Keywords: Farmers, HIPPA, Participation, Irrigation, Maintenance.
