Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Employee Agility and Learning Orientation on Readiness for Change with Change Self-Efficacy as a mediating variable among employees of PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Padang, Indonesia. A quantitative causal design was employed. Using stratified random sampling based on job function from a population of 216 employees, 185 questionnaires were distributed and 142 valid responses were obtained (response rate = 76.76%). Data were analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 4.0 and a bootstrapping procedure of 5,000 resamples. The results show that Employee Agility has a positive and significant effect on Change Self-Efficacy (β = .321; t = 3.099; p = .001) and on Readiness for Change (β = .250; t = 2.254; p = .012). Learning Orientation significantly affects Change Self-Efficacy (β = .272; t = 2.559; p = .010) but has no significant direct effect on Readiness for Change (β = .136; t = 1.221; p = .111). Change Self-Efficacy significantly affects Readiness for Change (β = .269; t = 3.247; p = .001). Change Self-Efficacy partially mediates the effect of Employee Agility (β = .086; t = 2.254; p = .012) and fully mediates the effect of Learning Orientation (β = .073; t = 1.794; p = .036) on Readiness for Change. The model explains 30.0% of the variance in Change Self-Efficacy and 30.8% in Readiness for Change. The findings imply that change management programs should develop employee agility and learning culture while deliberately strengthening employees' change self-efficacy through mastery experiences and organizational support.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the direct and indirect effects of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Logistics Competencies on Logistics Service Performance through Dynamic Capabilities at PT Pos Indonesia. Methods: An explanatory quantitative approach was employed using a cross-sectional survey of 172 managerial and supervisory employees. Data were collected using a 1–5 Likert-scale questionnaire and analysed using SEM-PLS with 1,000 bootstrap resamples. Results: The results support all seven hypotheses. RPA and Logistics Competencies significantly enhance Dynamic Capabilities (β = 0.392 and 0.384), while Dynamic Capabilities significantly improve Logistics Service Performance (β = 0.354). Significant indirect effects were also found for RPA (β = 0.139) and Logistics Competencies (β = 0.136) through Dynamic Capabilities. The model explains 46.8% of the variance in Dynamic Capabilities and 60.9% in Logistics Service Performance. Implications: The findings highlight that digital transformation requires more than technological investment. PT Pos Indonesia should integrate end-to-end RPA implementation with continuous development of logistics competencies and dynamic capabilities to achieve sustainable improvements in logistics service performance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of social media marketing on brand loyalty through brand trust as a mediating variable among consumers of Citra hand and body lotion in Cimahi City. This study is based on relationship marketing theory (RMT), which explains that ongoing communication between companies and consumers contributes to the development of trust and ultimately strengthens customer loyalty. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-verificative design was used. Data were collected from 120 respondents who had purchased and used Citra hand and body lotion products and had been exposed to the brand’s social media content. The data were analyzed using simple regression, multiple regression, and the Sobel mediation test with the aid of SPSS version 26 software.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate recent developments in sustainable logistics within global supply chains and to identify the key drivers, practices, impacts, and implementation challenges associated with sustainable logistics transformation. Methods: This study employs a systematic literature review of 48 indexed scientific articles published between 2017 and 2025. The analysis categorizes the findings into four main dimensions: sustainable logistics practices, driving factors, impacts, and implementation challenges. Results: The findings indicate that sustainable logistics has evolved from a primary focus on operational efficiency toward a more comprehensive approach encompassing green transportation, reverse logistics and circular logistics, digital traceability, renewable energy integration, and regional supply network diversification. The implementation of these practices is influenced by external factors, including regulations, stakeholder expectations, participation in global value chains, and geopolitical disruptions, as well as internal organizational factors such as managerial commitment, technological readiness, and coordination capacity. The identified impacts span environmental, economic, and social dimensions, including reduced ecological burdens, improved market performance, enhanced supply chain resilience, strengthened food security, greater transparency, and increased social accountability. However, implementation continues to face significant challenges, particularly high investment costs, inadequate infrastructure, fragmented governance, and disparities in technological capabilities across firms and regions. Implications: Based on these findings, this study proposes an integrative framework linking driving factors, sustainable logistics practices, resulting impacts, and implementation barriers. The study also identifies future research agendas focusing on strengthening governance mechanisms, developing more robust sustainability measurement methods, and promoting context-specific implementation strategies that account for the characteristics of different sectors and regions.

Abstract

Employee performance is one of the key factors in achieving organizational goals, including for companies in the furniture industry. Employee performance, particularly within the Marketing department, plays a vital role in aiding in the accomplishment of organizational objectives and sales targets. Experts claim that among the elements influencing employe performance are job satisfaction and work motivation. The inability to reach sales goals, however, indicates that Company X's marketing department staff is still not performing at their best. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how employes at Company X's marketing department perform in relation to work motivation and job satisfaction. Using quantitative descriptive analysis and quantitative associative analysis, this study takes a quantitative approach. The study’s respondents were all employees in the Marketing department. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and a questionnaire using a semantic differential scale, and were then analyzed using multiple linear regression, the coefficient of determination, and hypothesis testing with the aid of SPSS version 24. The results of this study indicate that, individually, work motivation and job satisfaction have a positive effect on employee performance. In addition, work motivation and job satisfaction also have a simultaneous effect on employee performance, with a fairly significant level of influence. The results of this study suggest that increasing work motivation and job satisfaction can serve as a strategy for companies to improve the performance of their marketing department employees.

Abstract

Employee productivity plays a crucial role in supporting the achievement of corporate goals. Companies require a conducive physical work environment and effective motivation to enable employees to perform at their best. The physical work environment and motivation are factors that influence employee productivity. This study aims to determine the effect of the physical work environment and motivation on employee productivity at CV Putra Lumpur in Bogor Regency, both partially and simultaneously. This study employs a quantitative approach using quantitative descriptive analysis and quantitative associative analysis. The data collection methods used in this study are questionnaires and interviews. The respondents in this study consisted of 36 employees of CV Putra Lumpur in Bogor Regency, while the assessment of the work productivity variable was conducted by the company’s owner. The measurement scale used in this study was the Semantic Differential Scale. Instrument validation involved validity and reliability tests. Furthermore, the data analysis included tests of classical assumptions, multiple linear regression analysis, and the coefficient of determination. The results of the study indicate that the physical work environment has a positive effect on employee work productivity, and that motivation has a positive effect on employee work productivity. In addition, the physical work environment and motivation simultaneously affect employee work productivity. These findings suggest that improving the physical work environment and continuously enhancing motivation can increase employee work productivity, thereby enabling the company to achieve its operational targets more optimally.

Abstract

This study is motivated by a gap between the ideal concept and practical implementation of the Qardhul Hasan contract across Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia. Normatively, Qardhul Hasan is a tabarru' contract intended to provide benevolent, interest-free loans as a manifestation of the social function of Islamic financial institutions. However, its implementation varies according to institutional characteristics, operational orientation, and internal policies. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Qardhul Hasan in Islamic Commercial Banks (BUS), Islamic Business Units (UUS), Islamic Rural Banks (BPRS), and BMT/KSPPS through a synthesis of literature and empirical studies. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method integrating literature review, semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings indicate that BUS and UUS implement their social functions through benevolent funds distributed as grants and social programs, whereas BPRS and BMT/KSPPS implement benevolent funds through Qardhul Hasan financing using revolving funds. The study demonstrates that Qardhul Hasan constitutes an implementation of the qard contract; thus, the differences identified concern not the underlying sharia principles but the implementation models adapted to each institution's characteristics. These findings establish a typology of Qardhul Hasan implementation and provide implications for developing models that balance social functions and institutional sustainability.

Abstract

Purpose: This study empirically examines the extent to which entrepreneurial knowledge influences business success among small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owner-managers. At the moment, Entrepreneurial knowledge (EK) has emerged as a critical cognitive asset distinguishing successful ventures from those that falter in their formative years. Grounded in Human Capital Theory (Becker, 1964) and the Resource-Based View(Barney, 1991), domain specific entrepreneurial knowledge is theorised to enhance founders' capacity to recognise opportunities, acquire resources, and govern promising operations, thus improving the possibility of venture survival and profitability. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was employed. Data were collected from a purposive sample of 132 SME owner-managers using a structured questionnaire comprising ten items measuring EK and six items measuring business success, all rated on a five-point Likert scale. Following instrument validation through a pilot study confirming construct reliability, data were analysed in IBM SPSS Statistics using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. Results: Consequently, entrepreneurial knowledge was significantly and positively correlated with business success (r = 0.456, p < 0.001). The regression model was statistically significant (F (1, 130) = 34.164, p < 0.001), with EK explaining 20.81 percent of the variance in BS (R² = 0.208). The unstandardised coefficient indicated that each one-unit increase in EK corresponds to a 0.318-unit increase in BS (B = 0.318, SE = 0.054, β = 0.456, t = 5.845, p < 0.001). The hypothesis H₁ that EK positively influences BS was therefore supported. Implications: The findings validate Human Capital Theory and Resource-Based View propositions, offering actionable guidance for entrepreneurship mentors, SME support agencies, and policy makers seeking to design knowledge-intensive founder-development interventions. The findings further suggest that SME development programmes should strengthen entrepreneurial knowledge in areas such as opportunity recognition, resource acquisition, management knowledge, and self-development. Future research is recommended to examine additional factors that may influence business success, including financial capital, network embeddedness, market structure, and macroeconomic conditions, as well as to employ longitudinal designs to strengthen causal inference.
