Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze economic development imbalances in various districts/cities in Papua and the determinants of poverty levels by applying Klassen's typology and panel data regression. The results of mapping using Klassen's typology indicate that most districts/cities in Papua are located in Quadrant IV (relatively underdeveloped areas) with lower average per capita income and economic growth compared to the provincial average. This situation is generally experienced by isolated mountainous and coastal areas that face problems in terms of infrastructure, accessibility, and dependence on traditional primary sectors. Meanwhile, panel data regression analysis using the Fixed Effect Model reveals that per capita income and income inequality (Gini Ratio) contribute positively and significantly to an increase in poverty rates. Conversely, the Human Development Index (HDI) has a negative and significant influence, indicating that improvements in the quality of education, health, and living standards can help reduce poverty rates. Meanwhile, economic growth and the open unemployment rate (Unemp) do not show a significant impact in explaining poverty variations. These findings indicate that Papua's development strategy needs to focus on strengthening the HDI and more equitable distribution of development outcomes so that economic growth can have a more inclusive impact

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of social media, online prices, and customer reviews on purchasing decisions in e-commerce with brand image as a moderating variable. The research method used is a quantitative approach with an associative research type. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to consumers who have made purchases on e-commerce platforms, using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) method and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to test the role of moderating variables. The results show that social media, online prices, and customer reviews partially and simultaneously have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions. Social media can increase purchasing interest through interactive and informative content, online prices are a primary consideration in choosing a product, while customer reviews play a role in building consumer trust. In addition, brand image is proven to moderate the relationship between social media, online prices, and customer reviews on purchasing decisions by strengthening the influence of all three variables. The conclusion of this study is that purchasing decisions in e-commerce are influenced by a combination of digital marketing factors and brand perceptions. Therefore, business actors are advised to optimize the use of social media, set competitive prices, manage customer reviews well, and build a strong brand image to increase consumer trust and loyalty.

Abstract

The development of the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia shows a positive trend, but customer decisions in using Islamic bank services are still influenced by various factors, including sharia compliance, company reputation, and trust. This study aims to analyze the influence of sharia compliance and company reputation on customer decisions in using the services of Bank Syariah Indonesia in Palembang City with trust as an intervening variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with primary data obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to 150 respondents of Bank Syariah Indonesia customers in Palembang City who were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was carried out using the Structural Equation Modeling method based on Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results of the study show that sharia compliance does not have a significant effect on customer decisions or trust, and is not able to be mediated by trust. On the other hand, company reputation has a positive and significant effect on customer decisions and trust, and trust has been proven to be able to mediate the influence of company reputation on customer decisions. In addition, trust also has a positive and significant effect on customer decisions. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that company reputation and trust are dominant factors in influencing customer decisions, while sharia compliance has not yet become the main consideration, so Islamic banking needs to strengthen its image and trust to increase customer interest

Abstract

Despite the increasing integration of entrepreneurship into business school curricula, a persistent "knowledge-practice gap" remains, where students struggle to translate theoretical literacy into real-world business execution. Drawing on Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), this study evaluates the efficacy of the university ecosystem—comprising Entrepreneurial Culture, Teaching, and Education—in driving students through the developmental chain toward Entrepreneurial Practice. Utilizing a Mixed-Methods Explanatory Sequential Design, quantitative data was first collected from 139 business students and analyzed via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test nine hypothesized paths. This was followed by qualitative Key Informant Interviews (KII) with seven selected participants to decode the "why" behind the statistical findings. The results reveal that while Entrepreneurial Teaching serves as a significant driver of both Mindset and Competence, the formal Curriculum (Education) and Institutional Culture often fail to directly stimulate the transition to practice. Qualitative findings suggest that this "structural disconnect" is fueled by pedagogical rigidity and perceived systemic barriers, such as financial constraints and a focus on academic compliance over market agility. The study concludes that for universities to move beyond "theoretical literacy," they must transition toward agile, practitioner-integrated models that foster individual agency and functional mastery. These findings provide a clear roadmap for educational leaders to bridge the knowledge-practice gap and equip the next generation of leaders with the practical skills needed for effective entrepreneurial leadership. Keywords: entrepreneurship education; entrepreneurship practice; knowledge-practice gap; mixed-method research; social cognitive career theory

Abstract

Work stress among restaurant employees significantly affects productivity and psychological well-being yet is frequently overlooked. This study examines the effect of coping strategy on work stress and the moderating role of emotional resilience, grounded in the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model and the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984). A quantitative causal-associative approach was applied to 87 employees of Sandeq Seafood Restaurant, Makassar, selected from 110 permanent staff via the Slovin formula. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analysed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with SPSS 26. Results indicate that coping strategy has a significant negative effect on work stress (β = -0.705; p = 0.000), and emotional resilience significantly moderates this relationship (β interaction = -0.038; p = 0.000), strengthening the stress-reducing effect of coping strategy. The final model explains 54.1% of the variance in work stress (R² = 0.541). These findings suggest that restaurant management should design training programmes that simultaneously enhance employees' coping abilities and emotional resilience.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the experiences of coffee shop employees in balancing work-life and personal life (Work-Life Balance / WLB) through a case study on Man of Culture. This study uses a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with four employees. The results show that work-life balance is defined as the ability to manage time, maintain boundaries between work and personal life, and is supported by work flexibility. In addition, the fulfillment of psychological needs in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), namely autonomy, competence, and social relatedness, has been shown to play an important role in supporting the creation of this balance. These findings indicate that work-life balance is not only influenced by the aspect of working time, but also by the psychological experiences of employees in the work environment.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of relationship marketing and e-service quality on customer loyalty through customer satisfaction among Shopee users in Malang City. The rapid development of e-commerce has increased competition among platforms, making customer loyalty an important factor for business sustainability. Therefore, companies need to understand the factors that influence customer loyalty. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through online questionnaires distributed to 112 respondents using purposive sampling techniques. The analysis method used Partial Least Square (PLS) to test the relationship between variables. The results show that relationship marketing has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction, while e-service quality does not significantly affect customer satisfaction. Furthermore, e-service quality and customer satisfaction have a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty. However, relationship marketing does not directly affect customer loyalty. Customer satisfaction is proven to mediate the relationship between relationship marketing and customer loyalty, but it does not mediate the effect of e-service quality on customer loyalty. The findings indicate that customer satisfaction plays a crucial role in strengthening customer loyalty. Companies are advised to focus on improving relationship marketing strategies and enhancing customer experience to maintain long-term loyalty.

Abstract

Facing the era of disruption and Society 5.0, the field of education plays an important role in improving the quality of human resources. Therefore, the government has implemented the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum. This study aims to understand the implementation of the MBKM curriculum in addressing economic education issues in the era of disruption and Society 5.0, to examine its effectiveness, and to identify solutions to overcome obstacles in its implementation. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive design. Informants were selected using a purposive sampling technique, involving students as key informants and additional informants including the Head of the Economics Education Study Program, the Secretary of the Social Science Education Department, and several economics education lecturers at Jambi University, Indonesia. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Nvivo 12 software. The results show that: (1) the implementation of the MBKM curriculum provides a positive direction for the development of students' skills through experiential learning; (2) the effectiveness of MBKM is reflected in students’ improved knowledge and skills, particularly in critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration; and (3) solutions for implementation require continuous curriculum adjustments and improvements. The implications of this study indicate that the MBKM curriculum can address the challenges of economic education in the era of disruption and Society 5.0 if implemented optimally and continuously evaluated. This study also suggests the need for strengthening curriculum design, institutional readiness, and collaboration with stakeholders to enhance the effectiveness of MBKM in higher education. Keywords: MBKM, economic education problems, disruption era, Society 5.0
