Abstract

This study examines the effects of product innovation, digital marketing, and Muslim entrepreneurial behavior on the performance of Sharia-based MSMEs, with competitive advantage serving as a mediating variable within the Resource-Based View (RBV) framework. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using a census of 153 fashion-sector MSMEs. Data was collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that product innovation and Muslim entrepreneurial behavior have a positive and significant effect on MSME performance, while digital marketing does not show a significant direct effect. Competitive advantage positively influences performance but only mediates the relationship between Muslim entrepreneurial behavior and performance; it does not mediate the effects of product innovation and digital marketing. These findings suggest that Muslim entrepreneurial behavior functions as an intangible strategic resource that builds Sharia-based reputational capital and enhances firm performance. This study extends the RBV framework within the Islamic economics context by highlighting the strategic role of Islamic values in shaping MSME capabilities and performance.

Abstract

This study examines the role of informal entrepreneurship education in shaping SDG-oriented entrepreneurial intention, with entrepreneurial mindset as a mediating variable among students of the Department of Economics and Development Studies, Faculty of Economics, Universitas Tadulako. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 90 respondents and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that informal entrepreneurship education does not have a significant direct effect on SDG-oriented entrepreneurial intention. However, it has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial mindset, which in turn significantly influences SDG-oriented entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, the findings reveal that entrepreneurial mindset fully mediates the relationship between informal entrepreneurship education and SDG-oriented entrepreneurial intention. These results highlight that informal learning alone is insufficient to foster sustainable entrepreneurial intention unless it is transformed into a strong entrepreneurial mindset. This study contributes to the literature by emphasizing the critical role of entrepreneurial mindset as a key mechanism linking informal learning and sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intention. The findings also provide practical implications for educators and policymakers in designing entrepreneurship programs that support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Local Government Expenditure (LGE) and the Open Unemployment Rate (OUR) on economic growth across regencies and cities in Central Sulawesi Province during the 2020–2024 period, examining both partial and simultaneous effects. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-associative design was employed. The study utilized secondary panel data covering 13 regencies/cities over a five-year observation period, resulting in 65 observations. The sample was determined using the saturated sampling method. Data were obtained from the Central Sulawesi Province Central Statistics Agency (CSA), the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance, and other relevant institutions. Analysis was conducted using panel data regression via EViews 12 software. Prior to model selection, classical assumption tests were performed; the optimal model was then determined through the Chow Test and Hausman Test and subsequently used as the basis for hypothesis testing. The results indicate that, simultaneously, Local Government Expenditure and the Open Unemployment Rate have a significant influence on economic growth; however, regarding partial effects, Local Government Expenditure has a positive impact, whereas the Open Unemployment Rate has a negative impact on economic growth in the regencies and cities of Central Sulawesi Province. These findings demonstrate that the effective management of local government expenditure and increased labor absorption are crucial factors in driving sustainable economic growth.
