Abstract

This study examines the effects of government policies on sustainable entrepreneurship and their implications for economic growth in Nigeria. Recognising the strategic importance of sustainability-oriented enterprises in promoting long-term economic resilience, the study assesses how regulatory frameworks, fiscal incentives, institutional quality, and public investment shape entrepreneurial behaviour and business sustainability outcomes. Using annual time-series data from 1986 to 2022 and applying econometric techniques such as Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) analysis, and diagnostic tests, the research empirically evaluates the relationships among government policy variables, sustainable entrepreneurship indicators, and economic performance, measured by GDP growth. Findings reveal that supportive government policies, particularly tax incentives, regulatory reforms, and public investment in sustainable sectors, significantly enhance sustainable entrepreneurial activities and contribute positively to economic growth. Conversely, excessive regulatory burdens hinder entrepreneurship and slow economic expansion. Descriptive statistics further highlight uneven regional development across renewable energy investment, infrastructure, and human capital, which collectively influence entrepreneurial outcomes. The study underscores the critical role of coherent, well-implemented policies in promoting sustainable entrepreneurship as a pathway for economic diversification, innovation, and long-term growth in Nigeria. It concludes with policy recommendations to strengthen institutional capacity, improve regulatory efficiency, and expand sustainability-focused incentives.

Abstract

Digital transformation has become a key strategy for Islamic financial institutions to improve service efficiency, expand reach, and facilitate transaction access for customers. BMT UGT Nusantara Umbulsari Branch, as an Islamic microfinance institution, has also begun implementing digital services through the Mobile UGT application. Although the use of digital services has shown an increase year over year, the level of utilization by customers is still not optimal. This situation indicates a gap between the availability of technology and user adoption. This study aims to examine the digital transformation process at BMT UGT Nusantara Umbulsari Branch, to identify the factors supporting the success of digital transformation at BMT UGT Nusantara Umbulsari Branch, and to assess the impact of digital transformation on increasing the number of customers at BMT UGT Nusantara Umbulsari Branch. The research approach employed is a qualitative approach. The research results indicate that the digital transformation process at BMT UGT Nusantara Umbulsari Branch was carried out in stages through digital strategy planning, the development of technological infrastructure and the Mobile UGT application, outreach to customers, as well as the implementation and optimization of digital services. The success of this digital transformation was supported by several key factors, namely management commitment, technological infrastructure readiness, human resource competence, and outreach and education strategies for customers. Furthermore, digital transformation has had a positive impact on customer growth, as evidenced by an increase in the number of customers, expansion of user segments, higher transaction frequency, and increased fund mobilization and service reach of the BMT.

Abstract

The increasing use of mobile phones in Indonesia has intensified competition in the smartphone retail industry and influenced consumer purchasing behavior. Metta Cell Denai Medan, a local smartphone retailer, has experienced a decline in sales in recent years, indicating reduced consumer purchase interest. Preliminary observations suggest that this decline is associated with suboptimal experiential marketing practices and low levels of consumer trust, particularly in terms of service quality, transparency, and transaction convenience. This study aims to examine the influence of experiential marketing and consumer trust on purchase decisions. This research adopts a quantitative approach using survey data collected from 110 consumers, with the sample size determined based on indicator-based estimation techniques. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to assess both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on purchase decisions. The findings reveal that experiential marketing and consumer trust each have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions. Furthermore, both variables jointly contribute to shaping consumer purchasing behavior. These results highlight the importance of creating meaningful customer experiences and building trust as strategic priorities for improving purchase decisions in the smartphone retail sector.

Abstract

The café business in Medan is rapidly growing, but increasing competition demands greater innovation in attracting consumers. Warkop & Fresh Milk Kakilima has experienced a decline in sales from 2021 to 2025, indicating a decrease in consumer purchase decisions. This is suspected to be influenced by suboptimal servicescape, content marketing, and experiential marketing, as supported by pre-survey results showing consumer dissatisfaction. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of these three variables on consumer purchase decisions. The population in this study includes all consumers visiting Warkop & Fresh Milk Kakilima, whose exact number cannot be determined. Considering the uncertainty of the population size and the fluctuation of visiting consumers, the sample size was determined based on Hair’s recommendation. Therefore, the researcher decided to use 170 respondents as the research sample. The sampling technique applied is accidental sampling, which involves selecting respondents who are encountered by chance and are willing to participate. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that partially, servicescape, content marketing, and experiential marketing each have a positive and significant influence on purchase decisions at Warkop & Fresh Milk Kakilima Medan, as indicated by the t-value being greater than the t-table value. In addition, simultaneously, these three variables also have a significant effect on purchase decisions, as evidenced by the F-value being greater than the F-table value.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Analytics (BDA) on Sustainability Reporting Audit Quality (SRAQ) with ESG Disclosure (ESGD) and Operational Complexity (OC) as moderating variables. This research addresses the limited empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of digital audit technologies in sustainability assurance practices, particularly within Indonesian energy sector companies. The research applied a quantitative associative method based on secondary data derived from the annual and sustainability reports of energy companies listed on the IDX for the 2022–2024 period. The purposive sampling technique resulted in 46 companies with 138 observations. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 by applying descriptive statistical analysis, classical assumption testing, and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The findings indicate that Big Data Analytics significantly affects Sustainability Reporting Audit Quality, while Artificial Intelligence does not significantly affect Sustainability Reporting Audit Quality. In addition, ESG Disclosure and Operational Complexity are unable to moderate the relationships between AI, BDA, and Sustainability Reporting Audit Quality. These findings suggest that AI implementation in Indonesian energy companies remains relatively limited due to technological readiness and sustainability assurance challenges, whereas BDA has been more effectively utilized in sustainability auditing practices. Theoretically, this study extends to the sustainability auditing literature through the integration of digital audit technologies, ESG disclosure, and operational complexity within a single research framework based on Stakeholder Theory and Contingency Theory. Practically, the findings imply that companies and auditors should strengthen ESG data integration, technological readiness, and digital audit competencies to improve sustainability assurance practices.

Abstract

Previous studies have found adverse relationships between physical deterioration and depression among older persons. Relied on the utility function, this study assumed that living in good health condition and at an older age contribute to higher utility. To assess the causal relationship, it used longitudinal panel data of older adults withdrawn from three waves of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) waves 3, 4, and 5. Good health status and higher utility were represented by fewer morbidities and lower depression, respectively. By applying the Robust Hausman test (p-value 0.3903), the Random Effect (RE) Model is more appropriate than the Fixed Effect (FE) Model. The RE Model suggests that more morbidities and being older cause higher depression. Meanwhile, older persons living in urban areas tend to have lower depression than those in rural areas. Promotion of mental health services for Indonesian older persons and utilization of the national health insurance are important for older persons to mitigate the adverse effects of multimorbidity.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of financial literacy, social interaction, and herding behaviour on investment intention, with risk tolerance acting as a mediating variable. The study is motivated by the rapid growth of investors in Indonesia, which has not been accompanied by adequate financial knowledge and rational investment behavior. A quantitative research approach was employed using a survey method. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to individuals with investment experience or interest in Jakarta and surrounding areas. The sampling technique applied was purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that financial literacy and social interaction have a positive and significant effect on investment intention. Herding behaviour also shows a significant influence on investment intention, although it tends to encourage less rational investment decisions. Furthermore, financial literacy and social interaction positively affect risk tolerance, while herding behaviour negatively influences risk tolerance. Risk tolerance has a significant effect on investment intention and mediates the relationship between financial literacy, social interaction, herding behaviour, and investment intention. This study provides empirical insights for strengthening financial education programs and promoting rational and sustainable investment behavior.

Abstract

Despite extensive research on ergonomics, aesthetics, and user experience, limited studies have integrated these perspectives to explain how iconic value is formed and sustained in the marketplace. This study aims to conceptualize the iconic attributes that constitute ergo-iconic value and to develop a novel theoretical framework through a systematic synthesis of literature indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. Drawing on theories of ergonomics, emotional design, aesthetics, value-based marketing, cultural branding, and the digital platform economy, the study constructs a comprehensive conceptual model of ergo-iconic value. The findings define ergo-iconic value as a superior value proposition derived from three dimensions of comfort: functional comfort, usability comfort, and pleasure comfort. Furthermore, three core iconic attributes are identified: symbolic and visual appeal, emotional connection and cultural identity, and economic activation and practical value. These attributes operate across visceral, behavioral, and reflective levels of user experience, consistent with Norman’s emotional design framework. The study further proposes the concept of Cultural Resonance Capital to explain why products, services, or digital content with comparable ergonomic and aesthetic qualities may exhibit different levels of market acceptance, consumer attachment, and longevity. As a conceptual study, the proposed framework requires empirical validation across diverse contexts. Nevertheless, it offers theoretical and practical insights for designers, marketers, and SMEs seeking to create sustainable value through the integration of functional performance, emotional engagement, and cultural resonance in the Industry 5.0 era.

Abstract

Company value in the banking context plays a crucial role because it reflects the success and financial health of the company. This indicates the level of trust of shareholders, clients, and financial services authorities in the bank's performance and integrity. With high corporate value, banks can attract investors, maintain liquidity, and better face market challenges. This study aims to analyze the description of company size, liquidity, capital structure, profitability, and corporate value in banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. In addition, this study examines the effect of company size, liquidity, and capital structure on corporate value and profitability. This study also analyzes the effect of profitability as a mediating variable in the relationship between company size, liquidity, and capital structure on company value in banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This study is an explanatory quantitative study. The results show that, descriptively, banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange generally have large company size, relatively safe liquidity levels, varied capital structures, fairly good profitability, and varying company values according to investor perceptions. Empirically, firm size and liquidity have a positive and significant effect on firm value, while capital structure has a negative and significant effect on firm value. Profitability has been shown to have a positive and significant effect on firm value. Furthermore, firm size has a positive and significant effect on profitability, while liquidity has a negative and significant effect on profitability, and capital structure has a negative and significant effect on profitability. The mediation test results show that profitability partially mediates the relationship between company size and company value, but does not mediate the relationship between liquidity and capital structure on company value. The R-square value shows that the independent variables are able to explain 22.8% of profitability and 16.9% of company value, indicating that the explanatory power of the model is in the moderate category.
