Abstract

This research delves into the burgeoning landscape of digital marketing adoption among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. While technological awareness of digital marketing's potential benefits is growing, significant resource limitations often hinder widespread implementation. This abstract explores the interplay between this awareness and these constraints, examining the opportunities and challenges faced by Indonesian MSMEs in leveraging digital tools for growth and competitiveness. The study investigates the key factors influencing the adoption of digital marketing strategies, including the level of digital literacy, financial resources, access to infrastructure, and perceived benefits. It also considers the types of digital marketing tools and platforms most commonly utilized by MSMEs in the Indonesian context. Furthermore, the research analyzes the impact of digital marketing adoption on various aspects of MSME performance, such as market reach, customer engagement, and sales growth. Ultimately, this research aims to provide insights into the current state of digital marketing adoption within the Indonesian MSME sector, identify the key barriers to broader uptake, and suggest potential strategies to facilitate more effective integration of digital marketing practices. By understanding these dynamics, stakeholders can develop targeted interventions to empower Indonesian MSMEs to thrive in the digital economy.

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) mandated by the United Nations demand a global commitment, including from the corporate sector, to achieve social, economic, and environmental targets by 2030. Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a crucial role as the main agent of change in integrating sustainability principles into organizational operations. This research aims to analyze the strategic role of HRM functions ranging from recruitment, training and development, to performance management and compensation in supporting the achievement of the SDGs, particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). The strategies discussed include the implementation of green skills training programs, equal pay policies, and performance measurement based on social impact. The research findings conclude that the transformation of HRM towards sustainability-focused practices not only enhances corporate image and employee engagement but also directly contributes to the achievement of global sustainable development goals.

Abstract

The global awareness of sustainability encompassing economic, social, and environmental aspects has fundamentally shifted corporate paradigms. Organizational sustainability is no longer seen as achievable through business strategy and technology alone but is critically dependent on how human resources are managed. This study aims to analyze the role of Sustainable Human Resource Management (Sustainable HRM) in realizing organizational sustainability. Using a descriptive analysis method, this research synthesizes and examines the theoretical foundations and practical applications of Sustainable HRM. The results indicate that Sustainable HRM, which integrates the principles of the Triple Bottom Line into HR practices, acts as a key facilitator for a sustainability culture, develops sustainable leadership, and aligns employee values with long-term organizational goals. Key practices distinguishing it from conventional HRM include Green HRM initiatives, promoting employee well-being and diversity, and fostering competency development for long-term employability. However, implementation faces challenges such as a lack of top management awareness and resistance to change. Conversely, it offers significant opportunities, including enhanced corporate reputation, increased employee engagement, and long-term resilience. The study concludes that Sustainable HRM is a strategic imperative for organizations seeking comprehensive and enduring sustainability.

Abstract

Sustainable leadership has gained increasing attention as organizations seek to balance economic performance with social and environmental responsibilities. This study examines the relationship between sustainable leadership and sustainable human resource management (HRM) practices. Drawing on the sustainability and leadership literature, this research investigates how leaders who emphasize long-term value creation, ethical behavior, and stakeholder engagement influence the adoption of sustainable HRM practices, including employee development, well-being, fairness, and environmental responsibility. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from employees across various organizations and analyzed using statistical techniques to test the proposed relationships. The findings indicate that sustainable leadership has a significant and positive effect on sustainable HRM practices. Leaders who demonstrate sustainability-oriented values and behaviors are more likely to foster HRM practices that support employee sustainability and organizational resilience. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on sustainability by highlighting the critical role of leadership in promoting sustainable HRM practices. Practically, the results suggest that organizations should develop sustainable leadership competencies to strengthen their human resource strategies and achieve long-term sustainability goals..

Abstract

This study examines the impact of geopolitical risk and global inflation on gold investment motivation am ong Indonesian investors, with perceived uncertainty acting as an intervening variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 250 respondents and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that geopolitical risk has a significant positive effect on perceived uncertainty, whereas global inflation does not exhibit a significant influence. Furthermore, neither geopolitical risk, global inflation, nor perceived uncertainty directly affect gold investment motivation. Mediation analysis confirms that perceived uncertainty does not significantly transmit the effects of macroeconomic pressures to gold investment motivation. These findings suggest that gold investment behavior in Indonesia is not solely driven by macroeconomic uncertainty but may depend on heterogeneous behavioral patterns. The study contributes to the behavioral finance literature by highlighting the limited direct role of global risk factors in shaping gold investment motivation and offers insights for policymakers and financial institutions in designing adaptive gold investment strategies.

Abstract

Sustainable Human Resource Management (Sustainable HRM) has gained increasing attention as organizations seek to balance economic performance, social responsibility, and environmental sustainability. In developing countries, the implementation of Sustainable HRM presents unique challenges and opportunities due to economic constraints, institutional limitations, cultural diversity, and varying levels of technological readiness. This paper aims to examine the key challenges faced by organizations in adopting Sustainable HRM practices in developing countries, including limited resources, lack of awareness, weak regulatory frameworks, and resistance to change. At the same time, it explores emerging opportunities such as digital transformation, growing stakeholder pressure for sustainability, and the potential of human capital development to support long-term organizational and societal goals. By reviewing relevant literature and contextual factors, this study highlights the strategic role of HRM in promoting sustainable development. The findings are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of how organizations in developing countries can leverage Sustainable HRM as a driver of competitive advantage and sustainable growth.
