Abstract

This study aims to identify the influence of Financial Literacy, Ease of Use, and Trust on Transaction Decisions using QRIS at MSMEs in Balikpapan City. This research uses quantitative method with a sample of 400 MSMEs selected through Accidental sampling technique as part of Non-Probability Sampling. The results show that Financial Literacy, Ease of Use, and Trust simultaneously affect the Transaction Decision using QRIS. Partially, Financial Literacy and Ease of Use affect Transaction Decisions, indicating that increasing Financial Literacy and Ease of Use can encourage decisions to transact using QRIS. Conversely, Trust has no effect on Transaction Decisions using QRIS. This finding indicates that although Trust in the QRIS system does not affect transaction decisions, the Financial Literacy and Ease of Use factors still have an important role in MSME decisions to adopt QRIS as a payment method. This study provides valuable insights into the factors that need to be considered in increasing the adoption of QRIS among MSMEs in Balikpapan City. It is expected that further researchers add other relevant variables in order to get a deeper understanding of the adoption of QRIS by MSMEs.

Abstract

Numerous studies have examined the relationships among work environment, work motivation, job satisfaction, and employee performance, empirical findings remain inconsistent, particularly regarding the mediating role of job satisfaction. Moreover, research focusing on electro-mechanical contracting companies operating in project-based and high-risk environments remains limited. This study aims to analyze the influence of work environment and work motivation on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The research was conducted at PT. XXX involving 41 employees using a saturated sampling technique. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling, Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with bootstrapping to examine direct and indirect effects. The results indicate that work environment and work motivation significantly influence job satisfaction, and job satisfaction partially mediates their relationship with employee performance. However, the direct effects remain significant, suggesting complementary rather than full mediation. The findings reveal that in project-based organizational contexts, employee performance is shaped not only by psychological satisfaction but also by structural and operational demands. Theoretically, this study extends Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory and is further supported by Self-Determination Theory by demonstrating that satisfaction functions as a psychological transmission mechanism rather than the sole determinant of performance. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of simultaneously strengthening structural work systems and motivational strategies to enhance employee performance.
