Abstract

The sustainability of citrus farming in Sukopuro Village, Malang Regency, faces serious challenges in the form of declining interest among the younger generation, pest and disease attacks, and unpredictable climate change. Amidst these conditions, religious values and family involvement are believed to play an important role in maintaining farmers' resilience and business continuity. This study aims to analyze how religiousness and family involvement shape the practice of sustainable citrus farming. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving farmers, family members, and religious leaders as informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and SaldaƱa technique. The results show that religiosity functions as spiritual capital that increases farmers' psychological resilience in facing production uncertainty, while family involvement becomes a social foundation that strengthens the inheritance of values, division of roles, and business continuity between generations. However, the challenges of regeneration, climate risks, and ecological vulnerability remain major obstacles to maintaining business sustainability. This study concludes that the sustainability of the citrus business is not only determined by technical factors but also depends heavily on the strength of religious-social capital and family solidarity. These findings make an important contribution to strengthening the sustainability model of agriculture based on local values and family culture

Abstract

This study aims to explain how locally-based adaptive innovation has become a survival strategy for Usman Batik Lumajang (UBL) in facing competition from the modern batik industry. Batik MSMEs are required to develop innovations that are rooted in cultural values while also being responsive to market changes. To explore this process in depth, this study uses a qualitative grounded theory method with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Informants include business owners, craftsmen, marketing staff, consumers, and community leaders. The results of the analysis through open coding, axial coding, and selective coding show that UBL's adaptive innovation is formed from a combination of local cultural values, design creativity, marketing strategy adjustments, and community support. Distinctive motifs such as Pisang Agung and Kuda Kencak are unique resources that are difficult to imitate, in line with the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. Meanwhile, design development, quality improvement, and product diversification reflect innovation as defined in the OECD (Oslo Manual). The resulting substantive theory concludes that the sustainability of batik MSMEs is largely determined by the ability to integrate local cultural values with modern product innovation in a sustainable manner. Local-based adaptive innovation not only enhances competitiveness but also plays a role in preserving regional cultural identity

Abstract

This study aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the recruitment process at Toko Uddan, a small business in the goods distribution sector, using a qualitative approach and grounded theory analysis. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with the owner, administrator, field coordinator, and employees. The results of the study show that recruitment at Toko Uddan is simple, flexible, and greatly influenced by social proximity. Candidates are obtained almost entirely through family and relative recommendations, while selection is conducted informally by considering personality, work ethic, and readiness to start working immediately. Orientation is provided through a one-week field trial period without formal training. Through open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, this study produced a Relational-Operational Recruitment model consisting of three core categories: trust-based recruitment, personality- and work readiness-based selection, and rapid placement through hands-on practice. When compared to Dessler's (2013) recruitment theory, Toko Uddan's recruitment practices show significant differences in terms of formality, diversity of applicant sources, and objectivity of selection, but remain effective in the context of SMEs. The validity of the findings is maintained through the application of Lincoln and Guba's (1985) criteria, including credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. These findings make an important contribution to understanding relationship-based recruitment patterns in small businesses in Indonesia and their implications for more adaptive and contextual human resource management
