Abstract

The research focuses on Pinky Treatment, a non-invasive aesthetic service positioned as a premium offering targeting upper–middle market segments with relatively low market awareness, thereby requiring continuous education and promotion through digital capabilities. A quantitative approach was employed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) on data collected from 120 respondents through structured questionnaires. Four latent variables, human capital, market competition, digital capability, and operational sustainability, were analyzed using SmartPLS 4. The results indicate that Human Capital (β = 0.475; p < 0.001) and Market Competition (β = 0.254; p = 0.001) have positive and significant effects on Digital Capability. Furthermore, Digital Capability has a positive and significant effect on Operational Sustainability (β = 0.481; p < 0.001). However, Human Capital (β = 0.134; p = 0.131) and Market Competition (β = 0.100; p = 0.164) do not have significant direct effects on Operational Sustainability. These findings demonstrate that Digital Capability fully mediates the effects of human capital and market competition on operational sustainability. The research model exhibits a moderate explanatory power (R² = 0.356) and adequate predictive relevance (Q² > 0). The study concludes that digital capability is a critical factor in translating human resources and competitive market pressures into operational sustainability, particularly for premium services that require continuous market education and consistent promotional efforts. Although Pinky Treatment presents an attractive business opportunity due to its non-invasive nature, ease of licensing, high profit margins, and potential for cost efficiency, its operational sustainability is highly dependent on the ability of business actors to develop and manage digital capabilities. This study is limited to a single type of aesthetic service and a specific sample size; therefore, the generalizability of the findings should be approached with caution.

Abstract

Nurses are professionals who play a crucial role in hospital services, and high turnover intention can impact the quality of healthcare services. Increased workload due to changes in hospital status and suboptimal compensation are suspected to be factors influencing the emergence of job stress and turnover intention. This study used a cross-sectional quantitative approach with a survey method through a questionnaire to inpatient nurses. The data analysis technique used was Smart PLS. The variables studied included workload, compensation, job stress, and turnover intention . The results showed that workload did not have a significant effect on turnover intention directly. However, workload had a significant effect on job stress, and job stress had a positive effect on turnover intention . In addition, compensation had a negative and significant effect on turnover intention and on job stress. Mediation testing showed that job stress was able to mediate the effect of workload on turnover intention , but was unable to mediate the effect of compensation on turnover intention . The conclusion of this study is that job stress is a key variable in explaining the relationship between workload and turnover intention. Meanwhile, compensation has a direct effect on turnover intention without going through job stress. Therefore, hospital management needs to manage workload and work stress effectively and improve the compensation system to control nurse turnover intention .
