Abstract

The gig economy, characterized by temporary and flexible work arrangements, is rapidly expanding globally. However, its implications for human resource management (HRM) in developing regions like Jambi, Indonesia, remain largely unexplored. This study aims to provide a preliminary investigation into the gig economy's impact on HRM practices in Jambi. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving a survey of 150 gig workers and 50 traditional employees in Jambi, along with in-depth interviews with 10 HRM professionals from various industries. The survey data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparative analysis, while the interview data was analyzed thematically. The study found that gig workers in Jambi face challenges related to job insecurity, lack of benefits, and social isolation. HRM professionals reported difficulties in recruiting, managing, and retaining gig workers due to the lack of formal employment contracts and the need for flexible work arrangements. The findings also suggest that the gig economy is creating new opportunities for HRM practices, such as the use of technology for talent acquisition and performance management. In conclusion, gig economy is transforming the nature of work in Jambi, posing challenges and opportunities for HRM. This study highlights the need for HRM professionals to adapt their practices to the changing landscape of work. Further research is needed to explore the long-term implications of the gig economy for HRM in Jambi and other developing regions.

Abstract

Mobile payment systems (MPS) are rapidly transforming financial transactions in Indonesia, including in Jambi Province. However, the adoption rate varies significantly. This study investigates the factors influencing consumer adoption of MPS in Jambi, Indonesia, using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework. A quantitative approach was employed, involving a survey of 300 consumers in Jambi Province. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, trust, perceived risk, and the intention to use MPS. The findings revealed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, and trust positively influence the intention to use MPS. Conversely, perceived risk negatively affects adoption intention. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and mobile payment providers to promote MPS adoption in Jambi. Strategies should focus on enhancing the perceived usefulness and ease of use of MPS, building trust, leveraging social influence, and mitigating perceived risks.
