Abstract

Purpose – This research aims to formulate the factors that influence the marketing performance of halal culinary SMEs in North SumatraMethodology – This research adopts an explanatory research approach, which  describes the cause-and-effect relationships between the research variables and the hypothesis testing. The research was conducted in North Sumatra. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires to respondents through Google Forms using the WhatsApp application to 385 MSME business actors. The data analysis method used SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) assisted by the smartpls4 (Partial Least Squares) program to determine the relationship between manifest variables as indicators and latent variables, thus providing meaning to those relationshipsFindings – Findings in product innovation research provide a significant impact on marketing performance. Digital marketing has a significant impact on the marketing performance of halal food in SMEs. Regulations have a strong influence on marketing performance but have a weak influence on digital marketing.Originality/Novelty – The performance of halal culinary marketing is influenced by product innovation and digital marketing. Regulations have a strong impact on the product innovation variable and a weak impact on the digital marketing variable.Implications – SMEs must have the ability to develop product innovations in order to compete in the market and utilize social media more effectively and efficiently, as well as take advantage of government-established programs to develop their business.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines whether tax knowledge, trust in government, and tax fairness influence tax compliance among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) the Makassar City area.Methodology –Using a survey-based approach, we sampled 260 SMEs operating in Makassar City, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) modeling techniques.Findings – Our empirical results indicate that tax knowledge does not significantly contribute to tax compliance, whereas tax fairness shows a significant effect. In the model, tax fairness significantly mediates the relationship between tax knowledge and tax compliance. Furthermore, trust in government significantly influences both tax compliance and tax fairness. Additionally, tax fairness plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between trust in government and tax compliance.Originality/Novelty –In light of this, our study is the first to examine tax fairness as a mediating variable in the relationship between tax knowledge and trust in government, and tax compliance, specifically within the Indonesian context.Implications – Our findings provide important theoretical evidence that when SME actors perceive transparency from government officials in tax-related matters, it fosters both awareness and a genuine intention to pay taxes. This trust contributes to the perception of tax fairness, ultimately leading to improved tax compliance.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates how a green lifestyle influences the purchase intention of sachet coffee among Generation Z in Bandung City, examining both direct effects and indirect paths mediated by digital-based environmental awareness. This research addresses a critical gap in the literature, as few studies have explored the specific intersection of green lifestyles, digital environmental awareness, and the consumption of instant packaged coffee.Methodology – Utilizing a quantitative research design with a descriptive-verificative approach, data were gathered from 336 respondents selected via purposive sampling. Surveys and structured interviews were deployed for data collection, and hypotheses were tested using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS).Findings – Results confirmed that all constructs were valid and reliable, except for the Ecological Lifestyle construct, which remained acceptable in certain contexts. A green lifestyle significantly affected purchase intention directly, and indirectly through digital-based environmental awareness.Originality/Novelty – This study introduces novelty by integrating green lifestyle, digital-based environmental awareness, and sachet coffee purchase intention into a single conceptual model focused on Generation Z in Bandung City. The uniqueness of this research is in incorporating digital-based environmental awareness as a mediating variable—an element rarely explored in the context of instant coffee consumption in Indonesia.Implications – This study offers valuable insights for sachet coffee producers, government, and environmental institutions can leverage digital platforms to enhance environmental awareness among Generation Z, an audience highly active in digital ecosystems.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates key determinants of personal financial management behaviour among Indonesian millennials, focusing on the roles of financial literacy, attitude toward money, locus of control, and financial socialisation sources, including parents, peers, media, and social media.Methodology – Data were collected through an online questionnaire using purposive sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).Findings – The results show that financial socialisation, parental socialisation, social media, and peer and media influences positively affect millennials’ attitudes toward money and financial management behaviour. External locus of control does not directly influence financial behavior but indirectly mediates the effects of financial socialization and peer and media influence. Attitude toward money mediates the influence of family financial socialization and peer and media exposure. In contrast, financial literacy mediates the impact of family financial socialization, peers, media, and locus of control on financial behavior.Originality/Novelty – This study offers an integrated model that combines psychological factors and diverse financial socialization agents to explain millennial financial behavior. This area remains underexplored in the Indonesian context.Implications – The findings highlight the need for targeted financial education initiatives that strengthen socialization pathways and enhance financial literacy to improve millennials’ financial management practices.

Abstract

Purpose – This research aims to investigate the impact of workplace spirituality and Intelligence Quotient on organisational citizenship behaviour, both directly and indirectly, through the mediating roles of job satisfaction, Spiritual Quotient, and Emotional QuotientMethodology – The study adopts a causal research design using a quantitative approach, with a sample consisting of 126 administrators and supervisors from the Indonesian Islamic Pension Fund Association. Data were collected via interviews and questionnaires, and the hypotheses were tested using Partial Least Squares (SmartPLS) analysis.Findings – Among the seven hypotheses tested, two were rejected. The findings revealed that the Spiritual Quotient did not enhance the relationship between workplace spirituality and organisational citizenship behaviour, and that the Emotional Quotient did not strengthen the connection between workplace spirituality and job satisfaction.Originality/Novelty – This study offers an integrated model that links workplace spirituality, Intelligence Quotient, Spiritual Quotient, Emotional Quotient, and job satisfaction to explain organisational citizenship behaviour within an Islamic pension fund.Implications – The findings guide managers in improving organisational citizenship behaviour by strengthening workplace spirituality, enhancing job satisfaction, and developing employees’ intellectual, spiritual, and emotional intelligence through targeted human resource practices.

Abstract

Purpose –  This study aims to analyse the influence of the Destination, Origin, Time (DOT), Paid Media, Owned Media, Social Media, and Endorser (POSE) approaches on competitive advantage, and to examine the moderating role of Branding, Advertising, and Selling (BAS) in MSMEs in Medan City.Method –  This study used a quantitative approach, involving 385 MSMEs as the research sample. Data were collected through a survey and analysed using Partial Least Squares (PLS)-based Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), which is appropriate for examining complex relationships among variables.Results –  The results show that Destination, Origin, Time (DOT), Paid Media, Owned Media, Social Media, Endorser (POSE), and Branding, Advertising, and Selling (BAS) significantly influence competitive advantage. Furthermore, Branding, Advertising, and Selling (BAS) were shown to act as moderating variables, strengthening the relationship between marketing strategy and SMEs competitive advantage.Novelty –  The novelty of this research lies in the integration of the DOT, POSE, and BAS models into a single conceptual framework to explain the achievement of competitive advantage in SMEs. This research also expands the strategic marketing literature by positioning BAS as a moderating variable, a topic that has not been widely studied in the context of MSMEs in Indonesia.Implications – This research provides practical implications for MSMEs to optimise DOT- and POSE-based marketing strategies by strengthening branding, advertising, and sales to enhance competitive advantage. These findings can also serve as a reference for local governments and stakeholders when designing SMEs development programs to increase business competitiveness.
