Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in driving Indonesia’s economic growth, innovation, and job creation. However, the majority of MSMEs, particularly in the food and beverage sector, face significant challenges in quality control and operational efficiency due to limited internal resources. This study aims to investigate the effect of Soft Total Quality Management (Soft TQM) on Operational Performance and Business Performance, with Operational Performance examined as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 185 student-owned food and beverage businesses at Ciputra University Surabaya. Respondents were selected from three cohorts (2021, 2022, 2023) using a purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the help of SmartPLS software. The results indicate that Soft TQM significantly affects Operational Performance, and that Operational Performance significantly affects Business Performance. However, the direct effect of Soft TQM on Business Performance, as well as its indirect effect through Operational Performance, is not statistically significant. These findings suggest that while Soft TQM can enhance internal operations, its impact on overall business performance is contingent upon the presence of structured systems and readiness of internal capabilities. Therefore, strengthening operational systems and aligning TQM practices with organizational strategy is crucial for MSMEs aiming for sustainable competitiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how the factors in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), namely ease of Use, security, and privacy concerns, influence repurchase intention on the Shopee e-commerce platform, with trust as a mediator. The research targets active students at Ciputra University Surabaya who use Shopee as their primary e-commerce platform for transactions. A quantitative approach was used, with a survey design involving 304 respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire using a 7-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that Ease of Use, Security, and Privacy Concerns significantly influence Trust, each with values above the ideal threshold. Furthermore, Trust serves as a mediator between these TAM factors and repurchase intention. Privacy concerns proved to be the strongest factor influencing trust, highlighting the importance of data protection in building user trust. These findings indicate the importance of optimizing platform usability, implementing robust security measures, and establishing clear privacy policies to gain user trust and encourage repurchase intention.
