Abstract

This study aims to determine how the accountability mechanism practised by Village Owned Financial Institutions (called LPN) of Limau Manis Padang is viewed from the perspective of a disclosure statement and report, performance assessment and evaluation, participation, self-regulation, and social auditing. LPN is a communal-based microfinance institution that once experienced its glory in West Sumatra during the 1970s and 1990s. This research uses an interpretive qualitative paradigm. The data used in this study are primary. Data was collected by in-depth interviews (in-depth interviews), observations, and document reviews. Informants are selected using snowball sampling patterns. This research found that LPN Accountability has not been implemented perfectly, especially in reporting and disclosure accountability. The public cannot easily access information on the LPN report. In addition, LPN has not practised aspects of social audits that provide opportunities for the public to conduct voluntary audits and assessments of LPN's internal processes.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are critical drivers of economic growth and innovation, particularly in emerging economies like Indonesia. However, they face persistent challenges such as limited resources, low innovation capacity, and growing pressure to meet environmental sustainability standards. This study investigates the impact of circular economy (CE) practices—specifically resource utilization and innovation & learning—on the business and socio-environmental performance of MSMEs in Padang City, Indonesia. Drawing upon the Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV), the study posits that sustainable resource management and organizational learning can serve as strategic capabilities for long-term competitive advantage. A quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was employed, with data collected from 70 MSMEs via an online questionnaire. The results reveal that both resource utilization and innovation & learning significantly and positively affect business success and social-environmental performance. These findings underscore the importance of integrating sustainability-oriented innovations and resource efficiency into MSME operations. The study contributes to the limited empirical research linking NRBV and CE practices within MSMEs in emerging markets. It offers practical implications for policy-makers and business development programs aiming to foster sustainable competitiveness and inclusive growth through innovation and environmental stewardship in the MSME sector.
