Abstract

This study examines the effects of entrepreneurial human resource practices on market-oriented behaviour, relational capability, and business performance at small-sized firms. For the purpose of the study, a survey was carried out for two different product types, namely handicrafts and food/drink, and sample firms were purposively selected. Interestingly, the findings suggest that, though practices may not directly improve firms’ performance, implementing practices characterised by entrepreneurial orientation is a start for high performance as market oriented behaviour and relational capability moderate the effects. The practices stimulate employees’ mind-sets, shaping their behaviour and willingness to find new ways of doing business and satisfying external customers. The implication of the study was that such practices should be designed to improve small firms’ market-oriented behaviour and relational capability for better business performance.

Abstract

The study examined the effects of consumer ethnocentrism and country image on perceived relative quality. The respondents of the study were consumers at a shopping mall in Mataram, Indonesia. They compared the quality of televisions from three industrialised Asian countries, i.e. Japan, South Korea and China, to those from Indonesia. The result of the study was that image of those countries has a significant effect on perceived relative quality. Indonesian consumers perceived televisions from those countries to be more favourable in terms of quality compared to Indonesian televisions. Indonesian consumers have a similar perception on the quality of televisions made in those main Asian countries relative to those of Indonesia. The image of those countries is favourable leading to a better perception on quality of televisions made in the countries relative to domestically made. Domestic consumers view that those countries have better capabilities in producing higher quality televisions. However, consumer ethnocentrism do not lead them to negatively perceive the quality of imported televisions. Indeed, the image of those countries has a greater role in Indonesian consumers’ quality evaluation. The result calls for a substantial improvement in quality of domestically made televisions.

Abstract

The growth of Indonesia’s creative industry highlights the importance of understanding how innovation and consumer perceptions shape purchasing behavior toward local products, particularly in the perfume sector. This research focuses on identifying the role of Local Brand Pride in mediating the influence exerted by Perceived Product Innovation on Purchase Intention within Indonesia’s local perfume product segment. This study employs a quantitative causal-associative design, with data collected through structured questionnaires from 150 consumers of local perfume products in Indonesia and analyzed using SmartPLS 4. The results indicate that Perceived Product Innovation has a significant positive effect on Purchase Intention and Local Brand Pride, while Local Brand Pride significantly influences Purchase Intention and acts as a mediating variable. From practical and policy perspectives, these findings suggest that innovation-driven product development can foster pride in local brands and enhance consumers’ willingness to purchase. Future research is encouraged to explore additional psychological or cultural variables and to extend the analysis to other creative industry sectors.

Abstract

This study investigated how product belief mediates the effect of live streaming and consumer ethnocentrism on online purchase intentions for local male skincare products on TikTok. The male segment tends to be less targeted by marketers than the female segment, eventhough it has promising growth potential. Few studies focus on male consumers in the skincare category, leaving a gap in the understanding of their behavior. This research employs a causal associative design using a survey method. The population comprised young males aged 17-38 years, sampled purposively. Data analysis was performed using SmartPLS. Results show that live streaming significantly and positively impacts online purchase intention and product belief. Although consumer ethnocentrism positively influences product belief, its effect on purchase intention is not significant. Consumer ethnocentrism significantly enhances product belief, which in turn positively affects purchase intention. The combined impact of live streaming and consumer ethnocentrism on purchase intention, mediated by product belief, is also significant. These findings highlight the critical mediating role of product belief in the relationship between live streaming and consumer ethnocentrism and online purchasing behavior. Based on these findings, companies should focus more on building consumer trust in their products, particularly local products, to increase consumer online purchase intentions.
