Abstract

Grounded in the stimulus–organism–response paradigm, this study examines how digital customer experience (DCE) shapes brand loyalty (BL) among Generation Z social-commerce consumers, testing brand engagement (BE) as a mediating mechanism and brand authenticity (BA) as a moderating boundary condition. Survey data were collected from 384 Generation Z Shopee consumers across Kendari City, Konawe Regency, and Kolaka Regency, Indonesia, and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results show that DCE significantly predicts both BE and BL directly, that BE significantly and partially mediates the DCE–BL relationship, and that BA exerts a significant direct effect on BL but does not significantly moderate the BE–BL relationship. Theoretically, this study contributes an integrated test combining the stimulus–organism–response paradigm, consumer brand engagement theory, and brand authenticity theory within one moderated-mediation model, providing statistically decisive evidence that brand authenticity operates as an independent driver of loyalty rather than a condition strengthening engagement's effect, narrowing an unresolved debate over authenticity's structural role in recent social-commerce literature. Practically, brands should treat experience quality and authenticity-building as parallel, independently justified investments rather than assuming authenticity multiplies engagement's returns. These results extend social-commerce loyalty research to an underrepresented, non-metropolitan Indonesian context.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of talent management, employee engagement, and digital competence on employee performance at Bank BPD Sultra, a regional development bank in Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 170 employees selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed with partial least squares structural equation modelling using SmartPLS 4. The results indicate that talent management, employee engagement, and digital competence each have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Digital competence produced the strongest effect (β = 0.468, p < 0.001), followed by employee engagement (β = 0.282, p < 0.001) and talent management (β = 0.200, p = 0.005). Together, the three predictors explained 73.7% of the variance in employee performance. These findings show that employee performance in regional banking is increasingly shaped by the ability to use digital systems, manage digital information, communicate through digital platforms, maintain data-security awareness, and solve technology-related work problems. The study contributes to human resource management and digital banking literature by conceptualising employee performance as digitally enabled service performance. Practically, Bank BPD Sultra and similar regional banks should integrate talent development, engagement-enhancing practices, and continuous digital competence training into their human resource strategies. Such integration is essential for improving secure, reliable, adaptive, and customer-oriented banking services in the context of accelerating digital transformation.

Abstract

UMKM kuliner menghadapi persaingan yang semakin tinggi, sementara sebagian pelaku usaha masih memasarkan produk secara konvensional dan menjual produk secara satuan tanpa strategi paket yang terarah. Kondisi tersebut membatasi kemampuan usaha dalam menciptakan nilai tambah, menjangkau segmen konsumen yang lebih luas, dan meningkatkan daya saing produk. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan kesiapan daya saing pelaku UMKM kuliner melalui pendampingan inovasi produk dan pengembangan paket penjualan. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 13 April 2026 di Kota Kendari dengan melibatkan 33 pelaku UMKM makanan dan minuman. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif melalui tahapan identifikasi kondisi awal, sosialisasi, pemetaan produk dan konsumen, praktik penyusunan paket, perhitungan harga, pembuatan katalog, serta evaluasi. Instrumen evaluasi terdiri atas pretest, posttest, lembar observasi, lembar kerja, angket tanggapan, dan uji konsumen terbatas. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata peserta meningkat dari 56,80 pada pretest menjadi 84,20 pada posttest. Sebanyak 30 peserta mampu menyusun paket penjualan, 28 peserta mampu menghitung harga berdasarkan biaya dan margin, serta 26 peserta menghasilkan rancangan katalog sederhana. Kegiatan juga menghasilkan 41 alternatif paket, sedangkan uji konsumen terhadap 12 paket oleh 45 responden memperoleh nilai rata-rata 4,15 dari skala 5. Pendampingan ini meningkatkan kemampuan mitra dalam mengembangkan inovasi, menentukan segmen konsumen, menyusun paket, menghitung harga, dan menyajikan informasi produk. Namun, peningkatan omzet belum dapat disimpulkan karena diperlukan pemantauan lanjutan terhadap penjualan aktual.
