Abstract

The increasing globalization of business has elevated English language competence from a general communication skill to a strategic managerial capability. However, empirical evidence explaining how English language competence contributes to business performance remains limited. This study aims to examine the influence of English language competence on business performance, with management effectiveness positioned as a mediating mechanism. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected through a cross-sectional survey of 185 business owners and managerial-level employees in an emerging economy context. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The results reveal that English language competence has a significant positive effect on management effectiveness and business performance. Management effectiveness also significantly influences business performance and partially mediates the relationship between English language competence and business performance. These findings indicate that English language competence enhances business performance not only through direct channels, such as improved external communication, but also indirectly by strengthening managerial decision-making, coordination, leadership, and control. This study contributes to the literature by repositioning English language competence as a strategic managerial capability rather than a standalone soft skill and by providing a process-oriented explanation of its impact on business performance. Practically, the findings suggest that organizations and MSMEs should integrate English language development into managerial training and leadership development programs. From a policy perspective, the study highlights the importance of aligning management education and professional certification with global communication competencies, particularly in emerging economies.   Keywords: English language competence; management effectiveness; business performance; managerial capability; emerging economies; PLS-SEM

Abstract

This study develops and empirically tests an integrative model of how digital literacy, digital entrepreneurship, and digital innovation influence the sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Bogor Regency, Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional survey of 180 MSME owners, the research applies Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the causal relationships among the key constructs. The findings reveal that digital literacy has a strong and significant effect on digital entrepreneurship (β = 0.694), highlighting the importance of foundational digital skills for cultivating entrepreneurial behaviors in digital contexts. Digital entrepreneurship is also found to significantly influence digital innovation (β = 0.726), indicating that proactive and opportunity-oriented digital entrepreneurs are more likely to adopt and implement innovative digital practices. Furthermore, digital innovation plays a substantial role in enhancing MSME sustainability (β = 0.542), while digital entrepreneurship also contributes directly to sustainability (β = 0.384). The integrative model accounts for 64.5% of the variance in sustainability, demonstrating strong explanatory power. These results underscore that sustainable MSME development in the digital era requires not only technological access but also strengthened digital literacy, entrepreneurial capability, and innovative behavior. The study provides theoretical insights into digital capability frameworks and practical guidance for designing policies and programs that support MSME digital transformation in semi-urban regions such as Bogor Regency.
