Abstract

One of the enduring issues and problems in Indonesia is the link and match between vocational secondary schools and the world of work in terms of quantity, quality, location, and time. This research focuses on the first issue i.e. quantity of vocational secondary school graduates in terms of supply and demand. The objective of this research was to explore the proportion of general secondary and vocational secondary school students, to find out the unemployment rate of both school types, and to identify policy alternatives to reduce the unemployment rate of vocational secondary school graduates. To achieve the objective, a quantitative descriptive research method was adopted. The research found that the national average proportion of students from general secondary schools and vocational secondary schools was 62.92%:37.08% in 2016 and 63.39%:36.61% in 2019. The national average unemployment rate of both school graduates was 8.72% and 11.11%% respectively in 2016, and 7.92% and 10.42% respectively in 2019. Thus, the unemployment rate of vocational secondary school graduates was higher than those of general secondary school graduates. In Java Island, however, where the population is about 40% of the Indonesian total population, the percentage of vocational secondary students increases significantly from 44.34%:55.66% in 2016 to 39.91%:60.09% in 2019. For this reason, a new policy is needed to reduce the unemployment rate of vocational secondary school graduates in the form of a moratorium for vocational secondary school expansion, particularly in Java Island. If for some reason, there is a need to build new vocational secondary schools in a certain area, it must be based on demand-driven guided by labor market signals. More comprehensively, a policy shift is required to reduce the unemployment of graduates from secondary vocational schools.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of various types of innovation—organizational, process, product, and business model innovations—on the financial performance of firms in Yogyakarta's creative industry. The research employs Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze data collected from 57 creative industry firms. The findings indicate that organizational innovation significantly enhances process and business model innovations, which in turn positively affect financial performance. However, the direct impact of organizational innovation on product innovation is not significant, suggesting the need for a more integrated approach to foster product development. The study highlights the essential of innovative practices and adaptive business models in driving financial success in the creative industry. These insights are crucial for managers and policymakers aiming to boost the financial performance of creative firms through strategic innovation.

Abstract

The creative industry faces challenges in balancing the need for standardization with the need for creativity. Standardization can improve efficiency and quality, but if it is too rigid, it can hinder creativity. This study uses the systematic literature review (SLR) method  to explore this balance and its impact on financial performance. From the 18 articles analyzed, it was found that the implementation of flexible and adaptive quality management can improve efficiency without limiting creativity, and companies that manage to maintain this balance tend to produce better financial performance. Effective strategies include the development of adaptable quality standards, collaboration between human resources, and continuous feedback systems

Abstract

This research aims to examine how environmental knowledge is transformed into green purchase intention among university students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Although previous green product studies have examined environmental knowledge, awareness, eco-innovation, and green product perception as determinants of purchase intention, the sequential mechanism through which knowledge becomes intention remains underexplored. University students are relevant because they are exposed to environmental knowledge through higher education, campus activities, digital media, and sustainability discourse. This issue is important in Yogyakarta, where a strong higher-education ecosystem coexists with persistent waste-management problems. This study proposes a sequential knowledge-transformation model linking environmental knowledge, environmental awareness, perceived eco-innovation, perceived green product, attitude toward green products, and green purchase intention. A student-based subset of a previous green product survey dataset involving 187 university students was analyzed using PLS-SEM and IPMA. The results show that all direct relationships are positive and significant. Attitude toward green products has the strongest effect on green purchase intention, while perceived eco-innovation strongly influences perceived green product. The sequential indirect effect from environmental knowledge to green purchase intention is supported. IPMA shows that attitude has the highest importance, whereas environmental knowledge has the lowest performance. These findings suggest that universities and green product stakeholders should strengthen practical environmental literacy and credible green product communication. Keywords: environmental knowledge; green purchase intention; perceived green product; university students; PLS-SEM-IPMA
