Abstract

This investigation assesses the consequence of self-compassion on the performance of Batik micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Gunungkidul Regency, with psychological capital serving as an intermediary variable. The findings are intended to facilitate the development of MSME mentoring interventions that integrate both technical and psychological components, particularly to support MSMEs owners in addressing the challenges associated with digitalization. We conducted quantitative research involving 70 batik MSMEs in Gunung Kidul. By using a total sampling technique and online questionnaires, we were able to capture a comprehensive data set. These responses, measured on a Likert scale, were then analyzed through path analysis using SPSS 25 to ensure statistical precision. The study reveals a deep connection between a person's outlook and their career path output. Specifically, self-compassion was found to significantly boost psychological capital (0.619, p=0.000). In turn, this psychological strength translates into better work performance (0.326, p=0.008). Interestingly, while self-compassion directly improves performance (0.381, p=0.002), psychological capital is key and acts as a vital bridge, mediating the relationship between the two with a value of 0.202. By positioning psychological capital as a mediator, this research offers a fresh perspective on MSMEs success, a niche that remains largely unexplored. The takeaway is clear: sustainable performance isn't just built on hard skills. We recommend that policymakers and mentors prioritize the "inner game" of entrepreneurs, fostering psychological strengths and self-compassion as fundamental pillars for business excellence.

Data were gathered via questionnaires administered to respondents TikTok users and have encountered Glad2Glow’s digital marketing content. Sampling technique was purposive sampling, with the respondent count established according to predetermined study criteria. The investigation utilized Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings demonstrate that testimonials have a significant effect on engagement and brand awareness, with engagement effectively mediating the relationship between testimonials and brand awareness. These findings indicate that genuine, experience-driven testimonials enhance audience engagement and bolster brand awareness. The study reveals that User Generated Content (UGC) does not significantly influence brand awareness, neither directly nor indirectly via engagement as a mediating variable. This suggests that broad or low-credibility user-generated content may inadequately facilitate meaningful connections and is insufficient for establishing robust brand perceptions in consumers' thoughts. The findings offer managerial insights for organizations to develop more effective digital marketing strategies by emphasizing credible testimonial-based material to improve brand awareness on social media platforms.
