Abstract

The massive entry of Generation Z into the global workforce presents a significant challenge for contemporary leadership practices. This generation, characterized as digital natives who value purpose, collaboration, and continuous feedback, possesses distinct motivational drivers that may not align with traditional leadership models. This study aims to investigate the specific influence of leadership styles on the work motivation of Generation Z employees. Utilizing a quantitative approach with a correlational design, data was collected via an online questionnaire from 250 Gen Z professionals. Multiple regression analysis revealed that leadership style accounts for 49% of the variance in work motivation. Transformational and democratic leadership styles emerged as the strongest positive predictors, significantly enhancing motivation by fulfilling Gen Z's need for purpose, intellectual stimulation, and inclusive collaboration. Conversely, laissez-faire leadership demonstrated a significant negative impact, actively demotivating employees by creating an environment of ambiguity and neglect. The findings conclude that to effectively engage and retain Generation Z, organizations must deliberately cultivate leaders who are visionary, participative, and actively engaged as coaches and mentors, while decisively moving away from detached, hands-off leadership approaches.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of Financial Technology (FinTech) has transformed financial service delivery and created new opportunities for SMEs, particularly in emerging economies. This study systematically examines and compares the strategic impacts of FinTech adoption on SME performance in Indonesia and Malaysia through a PRISMA guided systematic literature review of peer-reviewed studies, institutional reports, and official publications from 2018 to 2025. The analysis focuses on financial access, operational efficiency, innovation capability, regulatory environment, and institutional trust. The findings show that FinTech adoption enhances access to finance and improves transactional efficiency in both countries; however, the depth and sustainability of these benefits differ across contexts. In Indonesia, FinTech mainly supports financial inclusion and short-term liquidity management, while in Malaysia it is more deeply integrated into organizational and financial systems, contributing to sustained productivity and strategic resilience. These differences are largely driven by variations in regulatory maturity, institutional support, and organizational readiness. The study concludes that FinTech adoption alone does not guarantee improved SME performance, rather its strategic value depends on the alignment between technological adoption, firm-level capabilities, and institutional environments. The findings offer comparative insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to strengthen FinTech-enabled SME development strategies in emerging economies.
