Abstract

This study examines the direct and indirect relationships between work motivation, work discipline, and work productivity among oil palm farmers in Tapung Jaya Village. In smallholder agricultural systems, productivity is not only influenced by technical capacity but also by psychological and behavioral factors. This research applies a quantitative explanatory design using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Data were collected from 89 oil palm farmers selected from a population of 735 farmers using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error. Measurement model evaluation confirmed satisfactory validity and reliability. The structural model indicates that work motivation has a significant positive effect on work productivity (β = 0.532; p = 0.001). However, work motivation does not significantly affect work discipline (β = 0.155; p = 0.516), and work discipline does not significantly affect work productivity (β = 0.256; p = 0.363). Furthermore, work discipline does not mediate the relationship between work motivation and productivity (indirect β = 0.040; p = 0.654). These findings suggest that motivation functions as the primary determinant of productivity in decentralized farming contexts, while discipline does not operate as an intervening mechanism. The study contributes to contextualized organizational behavior literature by demonstrating that mediation models commonly validated in formal employment settings may not automatically apply to smallholder agricultural systems. Practically, productivity enhancement strategies should prioritize strengthening farmers’ motivational drivers rather than focusing solely on compliance-based discipline interventions.

Abstract

The competitiveness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) has become an important factor in sustaining business growth in the increasingly competitive digital economy. This study aims to analyze the effect of digital competence and partnership on the competitiveness of culinary MSMEs in Kepenuhan District. The research employed a quantitative approach with an associative design. The population consisted of 34 culinary MSMEs registered in Kepenuhan District, and the sampling technique used was saturated sampling, in which all members of the population were included as research samples. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results showed that digital competence had a positive and significant effect on competitiveness, with a significance value of 0.001. Partnership also had a positive and significant effect on competitiveness, with a significance value of 0.000. Simultaneously, digital competence and partnership significantly influenced competitiveness, as indicated by the F-test value of 38.401 with a significance level of 0.000. The coefficient of determination showed that both variables explained 69.4% of the variation in competitiveness. These findings indicate that improving digital competence and strengthening partnerships are important strategies to enhance the competitiveness of culinary MSMEs. Strengthening these aspects can help MSMEs expand market access, improve business performance, and adapt to the dynamics of the digital economy.
