Abstract

The rapid growth of digital financial services and the increasing popularity of buy now, pay later platforms have transformed consumer payment behavior, particularly among younger generations who are highly engaged with digital technology, This study examined the determinants of intention to use Shopee PayLater among female Generation Z university students in Surabaya by integrating financial knowledge and subjective norm within the Theory of Planned Behavior, with perceived trust as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected through an online questionnaire from 150 respondents and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected in 2025. The results revealed that financial knowledge did not have a direct effect on intention to use but significantly influenced perceived trust. Subjective norm showed a strong and significant direct effect on intention to use, while perceived trust significantly mediated the relationship between financial knowledge and intention to use. These findings highlight the dominant role of social influence and trust in shaping paylater adoption and imply that enhancing transparency and trust-building strategies is more critical than financial literacy alone for encouraging responsible use among Generation Z consumers.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effects of social presence, interactivity, and attractiveness on the flow experience of YouTube Live viewers in Indonesia. Despite the rapid growth of digital broadcasting, sustaining optimal audience engagement remains a challenge, necessitating further investigation into its communicative determinants. Employing an explanatory quantitative design, data were collected from 100 active viewers via purposive sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) within the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework. The findings indicate that social presence, interactivity, and attractiveness exert a significant positive effect on viewers' flow experience, with streamer attractiveness emerging as the strongest predictor. Ultimately, this study highlights live streaming not merely as an entertainment tool but as a dynamic digital communication space. The results emphasize that fostering two-way communication and a supportive online environment is vital for content creators to sustain audience immersion in new media platforms.

Abstract

The rapid growth of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services in Indonesia has transformed consumer financial behavior, yet the factors underlying adoption intention remain underexplored in an integrated framework. This study examines the effects of financial literacy, digital literacy, and financial behavior on the intention to use Shopee PayLater in Surabaya. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using primary data from 132 respondents who were aware of or had used Shopee PayLater, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS 26. All 24 instrument items were valid, with excellent reliability across the four constructs (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.937–0.952). The regression results show that financial literacy (B = 0.219; t = 2.272; p = 0.025), digital literacy (B = 0.299; t = 3.507; p = 0.001), and financial behavior (B = 0.341; t = 3.951; p < 0.001) each have a positive and significant effect on the intention to use Shopee PayLater. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly affect usage intention (F = 32.091; p < 0.001), explaining 42.9% of its variance (R2 = 0.429). Financial behavior has the largest regression coefficient, indicating its stronger statistical association with usage intention compared with financial and digital literacy. The findings support the integration of the Technology Acceptance Model and Theory of Planned Behavior in explaining BNPL adoption and provide practical insights for regulators and digital financial service providers in promoting responsible fintech adoption.

Abstract

Digital transformation has reshaped how Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) operate, with financial technology increasingly positioned as a determinant of business performance. This study examines the influence of payment gateway, platform-based lending, and technopreneurship on the financial performance of MSMEs in Sidoarjo Regency. A quantitative explanatory approach was applied using primary data collected from 77 MSME respondents who had adopted financial technology services, selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS 25.0. All 26 instrument items were declared valid (r > 0.224, Sig. = 0.000) and the four constructs demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's Alpha 0.944–0.964). Classical assumption tests confirmed that the regression residuals were normally distributed, free from multicollinearity, and free from heteroscedasticity. The regression results show that payment gateway (B = 0.470; t = 7.972; p = 0.000), platform-based lending (B = 0.152; t = 2.658; p = 0.010), and technopreneurship (B = 0.394; t = 6.253; p = 0.000) each have a significant positive effect on MSME financial performance, both partially and simultaneously (F = 64.336; p = 0.000; R-squared = 0.726). Payment gateway emerged as the strongest predictor, indicating that transactional efficiency is the most immediate lever of financial performance among Sidoarjo's MSMEs. These findings reinforce the relevance of the Technology Acceptance Model in explaining fintech adoption among small businesses and offer practical implications for policymakers and digital finance providers seeking to accelerate MSME digitalization.
