Abstract

Backround: SMEs in Indonesia face rapid environmental changes driven by digital disruption and global competition. Strategic agility is essential for adapting to these dynamics, yet how it improves organizational performance remains unclear. Digital transformation is expected to act as a key mechanism linking agility to performance within the frameworks of dynamic capability theory and the resource-based view.Objective: This study examines the mediating role of digital transformation in the relationship between strategic agility and organizational performance among Indonesian SMEs.Method: A quantitative approach was applied using SEM-PLS on data from 380 SME owners and managers across six provinces. Measurement model evaluation included reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) and validity (AVE), while structural analysis assessed path relationships and mediation effects.Result: The measurement model demonstrated strong reliability and convergent validity across all constructs. Strategic agility exerted a significant positive influence on both digital transformation and organizational performance. Furthermore, digital transformation was found to partially mediate the relationship between strategic agility and organizational performance, confirming the proposed sequential mechanism.Conclusion: Digital transformation strengthens the impact of strategic agility on organizational performance. The findings highlight the importance of integrating agility and digital capabilities to enhance SME competitiveness and sustain performance in the digital era.

Abstract

Background: Digital financial inclusion (DFI) has emerged as a critical enabler of SME financial performance in developing economies, yet empirical evidence on its direct and mediated effects through organizational capabilities remains limited.Objective: This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of digital financial inclusion measured through mobile banking adoption, digital payment systems, and access to digital credit on SME financial performance, with organizational agility and digital transformation capability as mediating variables.Methods: A quantitative research design was employed using data collected from 312 SME owners and managers across four provinces in Indonesia through structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM).Results: The findings reveal that digital financial inclusion has a significant positive direct effect on SME financial performance (β = 0.412, p < 0.001). Organizational agility partially mediates this relationship (indirect effect β = 0.183, p < 0.01), while digital transformation capability fully mediates the relationship in technology-intensive sub-sectors (indirect effect β = 0.217, p < 0.001).Conclusion: This study highlights the strategic role of digital financial inclusion in enhancing SME performance through organizational capabilities. The results contribute to fintech and SME development literature and provide practical implications for policymakers to bridge the digital finance gap in emerging markets.
