Abstract

The rapid growth of the digital gig economy has given rise to a new and controversial profession: Binary Option platform affiliates, who frequently employ the "flexing" marketing strategy (excessive displays of wealth) to attract customers. This phenomenon has become a serious problem in Human Resource Management (HRM) due to the use of psychological manipulation and dishonest information in the recruitment process for new users or partners. This activity often traps customers in a speculative and illegal system, substantially resembling online gambling. This study aims to analyze the morality of flexing-based recruitment strategies through the lens of HRM ethics and interfaith perspectives, particularly Islam and Christianity, to examine the social and spiritual impacts of this digital economic malpractice. This study uses qualitative methods with a descriptive and comparative approach between positive law and religious norms in Indonesia and Singapore. The analysis examines affiliate marketing practices and religious texts relevant to the ethics of earning a living and honesty. Flexing is an unethical recruitment strategy because it violates the principles of transparency and professional integrity, where commissions are derived from the losses of others (loss-sharing). This practice is identified as a form of Riya (showing off) and support for Maysir (gambling) and Gharar (uncertainty/fraud), which are strictly prohibited in Islamic economic law because they harm others for personal gain. From a Christian perspective, this strategy contradicts the principle of honesty towards others and the warning about the "Love of Money" as the root of evil, and ignores the value of humility and moral responsibility in managing God's blessings. The difference in policy in Indonesia, which prohibits Binary Options as gambling, compared to Singapore, which strictly regulates it, shows how religious morality values ​​influence public policy. The study concludes that flexing in the digital gig economy is not just a social trend, but a crisis of recruitment morality. The integration of Islamic and Christian values ​​can provide a strong ethical foundation to strengthen digital HR regulations and protect society from fraud-based economic exploitation.

Abstract

                This study investigates the role of Financial Technology (Fintech) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in strengthening financial governance accountability and improving national financial inclusion. While prior studies have largely examined fintech and AI separately, this research develops an integrated model that positions accountability as a key mediating mechanism linking technological integration to broader financial inclusion outcomes. Using a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected through a digital survey involving 300 respondents consisting of public sector stakeholders, fintech actors, and users of digital financial services. The data were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that fintech integration positively and significantly affects accountability and financial inclusion. Likewise, AI implementation significantly improves accountability and financial inclusion. Accountability also exerts a strong positive effect on financial inclusion. Mediation analysis shows that accountability partially mediates the effects of fintech and AI on financial inclusion. These findings suggest that the integration of fintech and AI contributes not only to operational efficiency but also to the improvement of governance quality and the expansion of inclusive financial access. The study contributes to the literature by proposing an integrative fintech, AI, accountability, financial inclusion framework in the context of a developing economy and offers evidence-based implications for policymakers and financial regulators.

Abstract

Indonesia’s expanding gig economy has reshaped the labor market, offering flexibility while deepening social protection disparities. This study examines the gap in social protection coverage between formal employees and gig workers—online and local—within Indonesia’s employment landscape. Using microdata from August 2018, 2021, and 2023 National Labor Force Surveys (Sakernas), the analysis focuses on the service sector, where gig work is concentrated. A binary logistic regression with marginal effects was used to estimate the probability of workers’ participation in Indonesia’s social security programs. Findings revealed persistent, significant disparities: Online gig workers were 33% less likely and local gig workers 23% less likely to be covered than formal employees. These inequalities widened during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in health and occupational accident insurance. Further analysis showed that disparities were more pronounced among male and urban workers. These results underscore structural vulnerabilities in Indonesia’s dual labor system and highlight the need for inclusive, adaptive social protection reforms. Recommendations include integrating gig workers into national social security schemes through shared contributions, strengthening digital and social protection literacy, and establishing a legal framework that recognizes platform-based employment as part of Indonesia’s labor market.

Abstract

The increasingly intense business competition resulting from the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) requires micro-business actors, particularly independent minimarkets in the Cibinong area, to build sustainable competitive advantages in order to maintain and improve their sales performance. This study aims to analyze the influence of entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation on competitive advantage and its impact on sales improvement in minimarket businesses in the Cibinong area. This research employs a quantitative approach with data collection conducted through the distribution of questionnaires based on a Likert scale of 1–5 to 110 respondents consisting of owners and managers of minimarket businesses in the Cibinong area. Sample determination was carried out using the Slovin formula with a margin of error of 10%, while data analysis was performed using path analysis technique with the assistance of SPSS software version 22.0. The results of the study indicate that entrepreneurial orientation has a positive and significant effect on competitive advantage, market orientation has a positive and significant effect on competitive advantage, and competitive advantage has a positive and significant effect on sales improvement. These findings imply that strengthening entrepreneurial orientation through innovation and risk-taking, as well as enhancing market orientation through sensitivity to consumer needs and competitive dynamics, constitute effective strategies for building competitive advantage that ultimately drives sustainable sales growth in minimarket businesses.

Abstract

Offline mobile phone retail stores in the Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) area face increasing competitive pressure due to the growth of e-commerce, shifts in consumer behavior, and the rising adoption of digital marketing and digital payment systems. Meanwhile, the growth of the national smartphone market has not been fully accompanied by improved performance of physical retail outlets. This condition indicates a gap between industry growth and the competitiveness of offline stores, highlighting the need for a strategic model that integrates operational capabilities with digital marketing practices. This study aims to develop a conceptual model explaining the roles of supply chain management, service quality, customer experience, and digital payment in influencing competitive advantage, with digital marketing as a mediating variable and strategic flexibility as a moderating variable. The research employs a qualitative approach using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design, following stages that include formulating research questions, establishing inclusion–exclusion criteria, searching scientific databases, selecting relevant articles, extracting data, and conducting thematic analysis to synthesize prior research findings. The review results indicate that operational capabilities and service quality contribute to competitiveness, digital marketing strengthens value perception and purchase decisions, and strategic flexibility enhances the effectiveness of strategies in responding to market dynamics. However, prior studies generally examine these relationships partially and do not integrate them into a comprehensive model. In conclusion, the integration of operational and digital marketing factors through mediation–moderation mechanisms is necessary to enhance the adaptive and sustainable competitive advantage of offline mobile phone retail stores.

Abstract

Digital transformation has shifted the competency paradigm required by vocational education graduates. Vocational High School (SMK) students currently face a triple challenge: financial management amidst the rise of fintech, ethical use of technology, and digitalized career competition. This community service activity aims to enhance the understanding and skills of SMK Perintis 1 Depok students through an integrated educational intervention. The method employed is an educational-participatory approach through seminars, practical training, and simulations involving 100 students. The effectiveness evaluation was conducted using a Paired Sample T-Test analysis on pre-test and post-test scores. Results showed significant improvements: financial literacy (58 to 82), digital literacy (61 to 85), and career readiness (55 to 84). A p-value < 0.05 proves the real impact of the intervention. The discussion highlights that the synergy between digital and financial literacy serves as a foundation for student resilience in facing economic uncertainty in the digital economy era.
