Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) operate in increasingly competitive environments that require sustained creativity and innovation to achieve superior performance. This study examined the mediating role of competitive advantage in the relationship between creativity, innovation culture, and business performance of MSMEs in Malang City. A mixed-method explanatory design was employed to provide both contextual depth and empirical validation. The qualitative phase involved semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, including government representatives, MSME community leaders, and business owners, to explore ecosystem-based innovation dynamics. The quantitative phase collected survey data from 120 MSME actors selected through purposive sampling, using structured questionnaires adapted from validated measurement scales. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrated that creativity and innovation culture did not directly influence business performance; however, both variables significantly affected performance indirectly through competitive advantage. These findings indicate a full mediation effect, suggesting that internal creative and innovative capacities translate into superior performance only when transformed into strategic competitive positioning. The study extends the Resource-Based View and Schumpeterian innovation perspective by empirically validating the mediating mechanism within a local MSME ecosystem context. Practically, the results highlight the importance of strengthening innovation culture and strategic differentiation to enhance MSME competitiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of leadership style and organizational culture on teacher performance, with motivation as an intervening variable. The research employed a quantitative approach using non-probability purposive sampling, involving 30 teachers as respondents. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4 to assess validity, reliability, and structural relationships. The findings reveal that leadership style does not have a significant direct effect on teacher performance or motivation, and organizational culture does not directly influence teacher performance. However, organizational culture has a positive and significant effect on motivation, and motivation significantly influences teacher performance. The mediation analysis indicates that motivation does not significantly mediate the relationship between leadership style or organizational culture and teacher performance. These results highlight that teacher motivation plays a central role in improving performance, implying that educational management should prioritize strategies that strengthen motivational factors alongside developing effective leadership practices and supportive organizational cultures.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has driven the manufacturing industry, including the agrochemical sector, to optimize employee performance through digital training and the reinforcement of organizational culture. PT. CBA Chemical Industry has implemented e-learning-based training and developed internal corporate values; however, the performance of production operators has yet to show consistent improvement. This indicates a potential issue in the effectiveness of the training and cultural strategies implemented. This study aims to examine the influence of e-learning-based training and organizational culture on employee performance, with work motivation as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, using survey methods with questionnaires distributed to 81 production operators. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that e-learning-based training does not have a significant direct effect on performance or work motivation, while organizational culture significantly influences both. Work motivation also has a significant direct effect on performance but does not mediate the relationship between training or culture and performance. These results indicate that direct influences are more dominant than indirect effects through motivation. The study draws on motivational theories from Maslow, Herzberg, McClelland, and McGregor, which explain that training and organizational values can shape employee behavior, although their effectiveness is largely determined by how individuals perceive organizational stimuli.
