Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of integrated environmental policies through a green and circular economy approach in encouraging MSME empowerment and poverty alleviation. The research approach used is mixed methods, namely a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM), while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews and field observations. The results of the quantitative study indicate that integrated environmental policies have a significant effect on the green and circular economy, with a T-statistic of 4.663 and P-values ​​of 0.000. The green and circular economy also has a significant effect on MSME empowerment and poverty alleviation with a T-statistic of 4.762 and P-values ​​of 0.000. In addition, integrated environmental policies also have a direct effect on MSME empowerment and poverty alleviation, and are proven to have an indirect effect through the mediating variable of the green and circular economy. The research model shows an R-square value of 0.677 for the green and circular economy variable and 0.848 for the MSME empowerment and poverty alleviation variable, which indicates a strong explanatory power of the model. Qualitative results indicate that the implementation of a green and circular economy in MSMEs is still in the transition phase, with positive impacts in the form of business efficiency, increased revenue, and expanded market access. However, obstacles remain, including limited capital, low environmental literacy, and limited access to technology. Nevertheless, significant opportunities exist through government policy support, green financing, and MSME digitalization.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of supply chain strategy on sustainable supply chain performance in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), considering the role of operational efficiency and integration as intervening variables. The approach used is quantitative with the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method using SmartPLS software. Data were obtained through distributing questionnaires to MSMEs in developing countries. The results of the study indicate that supply chain strategy does not have a significant direct effect on sustainable supply chain performance. However, supply chain strategy has a positive and significant effect on operational efficiency and integration, and operational efficiency and integration have a positive and significant effect on sustainable supply chain performance. In addition, the results of the mediation test indicate that operational efficiency and integration fully mediate the relationship between supply chain strategy and sustainable supply chain performance. The R-square value is in the moderate to strong category and the high Goodness of Fit value indicates that the research model has good predictive ability. These findings confirm that improving sustainable supply chain performance in MSMEs depends not only on strategy selection but also on the effectiveness of strategy implementation through increased operational efficiency and integration. This research provides theoretical contributions in the development of multi-objective optimization models as well as practical implications for MSMEs and policy makers in designing more efficient, integrated, and sustainable supply chain strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Psychological Capital on Entrepreneurial Mindset and its impact on Innovation Orientation and Business Resilience in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This study uses a quantitative approach with the Partial Least Squares-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) method using SmartPLS software. The results show that Psychological Capital has a positive and significant influence on Entrepreneurial Mindset as well as Innovation Orientation and Business Resilience. However, Entrepreneurial Mindset does not have a significant direct effect on Innovation Orientation and Business Resilience. Nevertheless, Entrepreneurial Mindset is proven to have a role as a mediating variable in the relationship between Psychological Capital and Innovation Orientation and Business Resilience. This finding confirms that increasing innovation and business resilience in MSMEs is not only directly influenced by psychological capital, but also through the formation of a strong entrepreneurial mindset. Therefore, strengthening the psychological aspects of MSMEs is an important factor in increasing business competitiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of digital psychology factors in shaping public acceptance of renewable energy technology from a behavioral and socio-technical system perspective. In the digital era, the technology adoption process is not only determined by technical and economic aspects, but also influenced by exposure to digital information, social media, and online interactions that shape people's perceptions, attitudes, and behavioral intentions. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to explore in depth how factors such as perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, digital trust, perceived risk, and digital literacy influence public acceptance of renewable energy. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, digital observation, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive analysis model through the processes of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that digital psychology factors play a significant role in shaping public attitudes and decisions towards renewable energy. Trust in digital information and low risk perceptions increase adoption intentions, while exposure to unreliable information can hinder acceptance. In addition, social interactions in digital media strengthen social influence in the attitude formation process. These findings confirm that the transition to renewable energy is not only a technological process, but also a socio-psychological process that is heavily influenced by the digital ecosystem
