Abstract

Purpose: The research examines the urgency of digital transformation, which is rapidly affecting the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector. As the backbone of the local economy in Gorontalo Province, MSMEs face significant challenges in adapting to technological, market, and regulatory changes. Psychological factors such as resilience and stress management are presumed to play a crucial role in shaping the adaptive behavior of MSME managers in responding to these changes. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of these two psychological variables on the adaptive behavior of MSME managers and to identify the factors that most significantly contribute to their readiness to face digital transformation.Design/Methodology/Approach: The research employed a quantitative approach using multiple regression analysis on survey data from 150–200 MSME actors. The findings reveal that personal strength, social support, coping strategies, and optimism significantly influence adaptive behavior. In contrast, factors such as emotional regulation, impulse control, stress awareness, and negotiation ability do not show a meaningful effect.Findings: The resulting model explains 67.3% of the variance in change behavior, with personal strength emerging as the most dominant predictor. These findings indicate that readiness for change is more strongly determined by practical and psychological reinforcement factors rather than reflective ones. Therefore, interventions aimed at strengthening MSMEs should focus on enhancing personal resilience, developing coping strategies, optimizing social support, and fostering an optimistic outlook.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of resilience and mindset on adaptive behavior among MSME managers in facing digital transformation in the food business sector in Gorontalo City. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire, with a total sample of 54 respondents. The data analysis technique applied was multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that (1) resilience has a positive and significant effect on adaptive behavior, (2) mindset has a positive and significant effect on adaptive behavior, and (3) resilience and mindset simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on adaptive behavior. Descriptive findings based on business type indicate that the highest levels of resilience and adaptive behavior are found in restaurant businesses, while relatively lower levels are observed in bakery and pastry industries. Based on business duration, entrepreneurs who have operated longer tend to demonstrate better adaptive capabilities compared to newer businesses. This study recommends enhancing digital literacy training, strengthening entrepreneurial mindset, and providing business mentoring programs to improve the adaptive capacity of MSMEs in facing digital transformation.
