Abstract

Non-business EC is a relatively new research niche In the general e-commerce stream. It denotes the use of e-commerce by non-business institutions such as academic institutions (as in the present study), not- for profit organizations, religious organizations, and government agencies to reduce their expenses or to improve their operations and customer service. A field survey was conducted to determine key factors that facilitate the adoption of non-business EC In Malaysian Universities. Since e-commerce adoption decision is a strategic one, a comprehensive list of potential facilitators and non-facilitators for the strategic use of information technology was derived from past research and used as the basis for collecting data from 65 schools, centres and units from 5 public universities in Kota Kinabalu and Kuala Lumpur. These data were factor-analysed to determine the key underlying dimensions of facilitators. On the basis of the resulting five dimensions namely, relative advantage, network orientation, Information efficiency, innovativeness, and competitiveness, regression analysis was done to determine the impact of the five dimensions on adoption. Non-business EC was parted Into two: (1) partial EC (or a-brochure) where adoption Is solely for promotion and dissemination of product or service information, (2) full EC, which Includes the use of the application for ordering or reserving service, payment, and off-line or on line delivery. The results suggest that relative advantage, network orientation, and Information efficiency are the most lmportant facilitators. Inhibitors were not estimated eventually, as there were no non-users among the respondents. In other words all the respondents are at least adopters of partial EC. Full Implications of the findings are discussed.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the moderating role of entrepreneurial personality in the relationship between financial attitude, financial knowledge, and financial management behavior among MSME actors in Tarakan City. Research Design and Methodology: Data were collected from 130 MSME respondents using a quantitative approach with purposive sampling. The analysis employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with WarpPLS version 8.0 software to assess direct and moderating effects. This analysis includes outer and inner model evaluations to test the reliability, validity, and significance of the relationships between variables and the moderating effects of entrepreneurial personality. Findings and Discussion: The findings reveal that financial attitudes and knowledge significantly and positively impact financial management behavior. However, entrepreneurial personality does not significantly moderate the relationship between financial attitude and financial management behavior. On the other hand, it substantially moderates the relationship between financial knowledge and financial management behavior in a negative direction. This suggests that individuals with strong entrepreneurial traits tend to rely more on intuition and experience, weakening the influence of financial knowledge on their financial behavior. Implications: The study implies that improving financial behavior among MSMEs should focus on enhancing knowledge and attitude and aligning entrepreneurial traits with sound financial practices through integrated training and mentoring programs.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores how psychological empowerment influences competitive advantage through creativity and innovative work behavior while also analyzing the moderating role of digital leadership. The study emphasizes the importance of building sustainable competitive strategies in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through innovation-driven human capital. Research Design and Methodology: A quantitative approach was employed, using a structured questionnaire distributed to 254 MSMEs in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data analysis was conducted through Structural Equation Modeling using the Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method to test direct and indirect effects among the studied variables. Findings and Discussion: The results reveal that psychological empowerment significantly affects creativity and innovative work behavior, not a competitive advantage. Creativity influences innovative work behavior but does not directly lead to competitive advantage. Innovative work behavior significantly contributes to competitive advantage. Moreover, creativity mediates the relationship between psychological empowerment and innovative behavior, but not with a competitive advantage. Innovative work behavior mediates both psychological empowerment and creativity in achieving competitive advantage. Digital leadership strengthens the transformation of creativity into innovative behavior. It reinforces the impact of innovative behavior on competitive advantage but does not enhance the direct effects of psychological empowerment and creativity on competitiveness. Implications: This study offers theoretical and managerial insights by highlighting the strategic role of innovation and digital leadership in building sustainable competitive advantage. MSME leaders are encouraged to enhance employee empowerment, nurture creativity, and embrace digital leadership to drive innovation.
