Abstract

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) presents entrepreneurs with unique yet significant psychological challenges and opportunities that remain underexplored. This literature review examines the impact of AI adoption on entrepreneurs’ psychological well-being, performance, and work engagement, addressing the question: What are the psychological effects of AI adoption on entrepreneurs? It builds on existing psychological theories regarding entrepreneurship and the rise of new technologies,, such as technostress and burnout, while narrowing the focus to the emergent field of AI and its impact on founders. Given that scholars have expressed that negative founder mental health correlates with poor business performance, examining how AI affects the psychological states of entrepreneurs is essential for the flourishing of both individuals and their startups. Using a narrative synthesis of 39 studies, this paper categorizes findings into four key themes: Self-Efficacy, Mastery, and Confidence; AI Dependency and Automation Bias; Technostress, Burnout, and Anxiety; and Work Engagement. Findings indicate that AI tools can enhance entrepreneurs’ self-efficacy, confidence, and decision-making by lowering barriers to entry and reducing cognitive load (e.g., streamlining tasks and providing data-driven insights), particularly for diverse and underrepresented founders. At the same time, over-reliance on AI fosters dependency, automation bias, and diminished critical thinking, while both under- and over-use of AI correlate with heightened technostress, anxiety, and burnout. The relationship between AI adoption and work engagement appears two-fold: moderate use enhances productivity and focus, while excessive or minimal use undermines satisfaction and resilience. These findings underscore that entrepreneurs’ psychological outcomes depend on how they navigate AI’s capabilities and limitations, highlighting the need for balanced adoption strategies. Future research should examine longitudinal effects, individual differences, and targeted interventions to mitigate adverse outcomes and support founders’ well-being in an AI-driven entrepreneurial landscape.

Abstract

Public procurement of construction works constitutes a strategic instrument for national development; however, in practice it continues to face complex legal problems. These problems do not merely arise from procedural violations or corrupt intent, but also from unclear administrative authority, regulatory complexity, and weak legal culture in procurement implementation. Such conditions have contributed to increasing procurement disputes and the risk of policy criminalization, particularly affecting private contractors who perform works based on administrative orders issued by authorized officials. This paper aims to analyze legal problems in construction procurement in Indonesia by applying Lawrence M. Friedman’s legal system theory, which emphasizes three interrelated elements: legal structure, legal substance, and legal culture. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and case-based approaches, analyzed through qualitative-descriptive techniques based on procurement regulations, legal doctrines, and judicial decisions as well as procurement practices. The analysis demonstrates that the ineffectiveness of construction procurement law stems from an imbalance among the three elements of the legal system. Weak coordination within the enforcement structure leads to the criminalization of administrative errors, complex legal substance creates ambiguity and risky discretion, while a permissive legal culture exacerbates deviations in practice. This paper offers a systemic reform perspective by emphasizing clearer differentiation between administrative and criminal liability, stronger legal protection for good-faith private contractors, and the reinforcement of ethical values and legal culture in procurement governance. Through this approach, construction procurement law is expected to function more effectively in achieving legal certainty, justice, and utility for sustainable national development.

Abstract

This article aims to comprehensively analyze the legal status of land use and spatial planning as a source of legal risk in construction projects, as well as its implications for private developers and contractors. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory, conceptual, and case study approach, by examining relevant laws and regulations, legal doctrine, and court decisions, including Supreme Court Decision Number 3053 K/Pdt/2011 and an apartment development dispute at the West Jakarta District Court. The results of the study indicate that land rights are not absolute and are always limited by spatial planning provisions as a public legal instrument. Weak synchronization of the RTRW/RDTR, zoning changes, and low internalization of the social function of land in development practices are dominant factors in the occurrence of disputes and project terminations. This study also found that contractors can no longer be positioned solely as technical implementers, but rather as active subjects of spatial planning compliance who potentially bear legal risks if they continue to carry out work that conflicts with spatial designations.These findings and proposals are expected to strengthen legal certainty, improve projectgovernance, and minimize disputes in private sector development.

Abstract

Marketing management has undergone substantial transformation in response to economic development, technological innovation, globalization, and evolving consumer behavior. Initially rooted in production efficiency and transactional exchanges, marketing management has progressively evolved into a strategic, customer-centric, and value-driven organizational function. In the contemporary business environment, marketing management integrates digital technologies, data analytics, relationship marketing, and sustainability principles to create competitive advantage and long-term value for both firms and stakeholders. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis of marketing management from three temporal perspectives: the past, the present, and the future. The historical analysis explores the evolution of marketing orientations, ranging from production and sales orientation to market, societal, and relationship-oriented marketing. The discussion of the present focuses on marketing management practices within modern business environments characterized by digitalization, global competition, empowered consumers, and rapid innovation. Furthermore, this paper examines future trends in marketing management, including artificial intelligence, big data analytics, sustainability-driven marketing, experience-based marketing, and agile marketing practices. By adopting an integrative literature-based approach, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how marketing management has transformed into a strategic discipline essential for organizational survival and growth. The findings suggest that organizations capable of aligning historical insights, contemporary practices, and future-oriented strategies will be better positioned to achieve sustainable competitive advantage in an increasingly complex and dynamic marketplace.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to evaluate the profitability ratios of companies in the Food and Beverage sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2021 to 2024. The study specifically focuses on analyzing the Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Net Profit Margin (NPM), and Gross Profit Margin (GPM) as key indicators of financial performance. Design/methodology/approach: The study employs a quantitative analysis using financial data from annual reports of publicly listed Food and Beverage companies. Profitability ratios are calculated for each company over the four-year period and analyzed for trends and fluctuations. Statistical tools are used to assess the relationship between profitability ratios and factors such as operational efficiency, asset management, and market conditions. Findings: The findings indicate significant fluctuations in profitability ratios, reflecting challenges in cost management, asset utilization, and market competition. The study reveals that while some companies successfully managed to improve their profitability, others faced difficulties due to rising operational costs and inefficiencies in asset utilization. The analysis highlights the importance of controlling production costs, optimizing asset management, and adjusting pricing strategies to improve profitability. Paper type: Research Paper

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of management strengthening on innovation strategies and performance acceleration, as well as to examine the effect of innovation strategies on the performance acceleration of micro and small businesses. Design/methodology/approach: This research is categorized as quantitative research with an associative/ explanatory approach accompanied by hypothesis testing. The unit of analysis in this study is micro and small business actors with a population of 154. The sample size in this study was 78 (50.65%), with members of the sample taken from the population using purposive sampling, hereinafter referred to as respondents. Questionnaires were sent to respondents to be completed within a period of one month (September 1, 2025 - September 30, 2025). Findings: Path analysis reveals that management strengthening has a direct and significant effect on innovation strategy with standardized coefficient 0.362 (sig. 0.038) and on business performance acceleration with standardized coefficient 0.384 (sig. 0.037). Innovation strategy directly and significantly affects the acceleration of micro and small business performance with standardized coefficient 0.309 (sig. 0.041). These findings indicate that effective management strengthening, particularly in planning and implementation, not only facilitates innovation strategies responsive to environmental and digital changes but also leads to more efficient business processes and enhanced performance acceleration. Both management strengthening and innovation strategies are relevant predictors for accelerating the growth performance of micro and small businesses. Accordingly, hypotheses H1, H2, and H3 are supported because all antecedents tested show a direct, positive, and significant effect at a significance level below 0.05.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the pastoral counseling and mentoring services for enhancing the self-esteem of children in the PAR community at the Evangelical Christian Church in Timor (GMIT) Getsemani, East Tarus, Kupang Regency. The mentoring and pastoral counseling services can significantly contribute to improving the self-esteem of PAR children. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method to assess the role of pastors and presbyters in the services provided. Limitations in evaluating the mentoring and pastoral counseling services, especially regarding the long-term impact on improving the self-esteem of PAR children, pose a challenge in this research. This study found that there is a shortage of professional personnel in providing mentoring and pastoral counseling services, besides pastors. Therefore, based on the results of the evaluation conducted with the pastor, this research suggests the need for follow-up activities for presbyters (teachers) of PAR in necessary follow-up activities, namely training of trainer (TOT). Recommendations obtained from the results of this evaluation indicate that the self-esteem issues of PAR children at GMIT Getsemani Tarus Timur, Kupang Regency, require both basic and advanced training for presbyters (teachers) who serve PAR children with self-esteem problems.
