Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are essential contributors to economic growth and development. However, they often face significant challenges in maintaining competitiveness and achieving sustained growth, particularly in the current era of rapid technological advancements, globalization, and evolving market dynamics. This study aims to investigate the critical factors that drive product innovation and their subsequent impact on the performance of SMEs. A quantitative research approach was employed in this study. Data were collected through a survey administered to 69 Sasirangan Cloth SMEs in Banjarmasin, Indonesia. These SMEs are engaged in the traditional textile craft of Sasirangan cloth, which holds cultural significance in the region. Structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS) was utilized to analyze the collected data. The findings of the data analysis reveal that strategic orientation, market power, and organizational collaboration have a positive and statistically significant impact on product innovation. This suggests that SMEs that adopt a market-oriented, entrepreneurial, and technology-oriented strategic approach, combined with efforts to develop market power and engage in collaborative relationships with other organizations, are more likely to foster product innovation. Furthermore, the study finds that product innovation plays a mediating role in the relationship between these factors and company performance, indicating that product innovation is a key mechanism through which strategic orientation, market power, and organizational collaboration contribute to enhancing SME performance. In conclusion, this study underscores the pivotal role of product innovation in driving SME performance. By developing and introducing new products or significantly improving existing ones, SMEs can differentiate themselves from competitors, attract new customers, and enhance their overall competitiveness.

Abstract

Rapid urbanization in Bangladesh places significant pressure on City Corporations to effectively plan and implement urban development projects, often in collaboration with national agencies. However, coordination failures are prevalent, leading to significant costs and hindering urban development. This study investigates the challenges in service delivery coordination faced by City Corporations in Bangladesh, focusing on Cumilla and Dhaka as case studies to understand the complexities of coordination in varying urban contexts. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 110 stakeholders across both cities. This included 40 City Corporation officials, 30 government agency representatives, and 70 community representatives, ensuring a multi-faceted understanding of the issue. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis and interpretive techniques to identify recurring patterns and themes related to coordination challenges, their consequences, and potential solutions. Rigor and trustworthiness were ensured through data triangulation, member checking, and reflexivity. The study identified several key coordination challenges, including dysfunctional coordination committees, power struggles between City Corporations and national agencies, non-compliance with regulations, unclear roles and responsibilities, dual control over tasks, breaches of agreements, political interference, self-serving leadership, and inadequate corrective measures. These challenges hinder project progress and negatively impact citizens, leading to subpar work quality, project delays, funding withdrawals, poor service delivery, financial waste, and increased public distress. In conclusion, this study underscores the urgent need for improved coordination mechanisms, accountability frameworks, and capacity-building initiatives to enhance urban development and service delivery in Bangladesh.

Abstract

The province of Sulu in the Philippines faces unique challenges in implementing digital governance initiatives due to its geographical remoteness, socio-economic disparities, and security concerns. This study examines the critical issue of data governance and privacy in Sulu's digital public service delivery, focusing on building trust and ensuring accountability. This research employed a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data was collected through a survey of 300 residents of Sulu involved in accessing digital public services. Qualitative data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with 20 key informants, including local government officials, civil society representatives, and technology experts. The study analyzed existing policies and frameworks related to data governance and privacy in the Philippines and compared them with international best practices. The findings revealed a significant gap between policy aspirations and the reality on the ground. While national policies emphasize data privacy and security, awareness and implementation at the local level in Sulu remain limited. The study identified challenges such as lack of digital literacy, inadequate infrastructure, and concerns about data misuse. However, it also highlighted opportunities for leveraging digital technologies to improve transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in public service delivery. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners working on digital governance in Sulu and other similar contexts. It emphasizes the need for context-specific strategies that prioritize community engagement, capacity building, and robust oversight mechanisms to ensure responsible and ethical data governance.

Abstract

Village fund management in Indonesia is crucial for rural development and poverty reduction. However, it is susceptible to fraud, hindering progress and eroding public trust. This study investigates the influence of leadership commitment, external supervision, reporting transparency, and community participation on fraud prevention in village fund management in Central Bengkulu Regency. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a survey method with 102 respondents, including village officials, government auditors, and related stakeholders. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to examine the relationship between the independent variables (leadership commitment, external supervision, reporting transparency, and community participation) and the dependent variable (fraud prevention). The findings demonstrate that leadership commitment, external supervision, reporting transparency, and community participation have a significant positive effect on fraud prevention in village fund management. Leadership commitment fosters an accountable organizational culture, while external supervision strengthens control mechanisms. Reporting transparency enhances public scrutiny, and community participation creates effective social control to minimize potential budget irregularities. In conclusion, This study recommends strengthening human resource capacity through training and education, increasing technology-based transparency for better information access, and promoting wider community involvement in the planning, implementation, and supervision of village funds. These measures collectively contribute to a more robust and fraud-resistant village fund management system.

Abstract

This meta-analysis investigates the relationship between green accounting practices (GAP) and firm performance. While prior studies have explored this link, the results remain inconclusive. This study aims to provide a comprehensive and robust analysis of the impact of GAP on firm performance by synthesizing findings from various empirical studies. A systematic literature review was conducted using Scopus and Web of Science databases, identifying 10 relevant studies published between 2013 and 2024. These studies employed diverse methodologies and performance measures. We used a random-effects model to estimate the overall effect size and explored potential moderators influencing the relationship. The meta-analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between GAP and firm performance. Specifically, firms that adopted GAP exhibited improved financial performance, as measured by return on assets, return on equity, and Tobin's Q. Furthermore, the analysis identified industry type and the stringency of environmental regulations as significant moderators. This study provides compelling evidence that GAP contribute to enhanced firm performance. These findings have important implications for managers, policymakers, and investors, highlighting the potential benefits of incorporating environmental considerations into accounting practices.

Abstract

The mobile payment sector in Indonesia is experiencing rapid growth, yet platforms face significant challenges in user retention. Gamification, the application of game-like elements in non-game contexts, has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance user engagement and loyalty. This study investigates the impact of gamification on user retention within Indonesian mobile payment applications, utilizing the theoretical lenses of affordance theory and social impact theory. Employing structural equation modeling (SEM) with a partial least squares (PLS) approach, we analyzed data collected from an online survey of 462 fintech application users in Indonesia. The findings reveal that reward, competition, and cooperation affordances exert positive and significant effects on social impact dimensions, specifically compliance, identification, and internalization. However, feedback affordance did not demonstrate a significant effect on these dimensions. Furthermore, narrative affordance, representing the storytelling aspect of gamification, moderates the relationship between gamified artifactual affordances and social impact. Notably, compliance strongly influences user retention, while internalization and identification do not show significant direct effects. This research offers valuable insights for mobile payment platforms seeking to cultivate user retention by strategically designing reward systems, fostering healthy competition, facilitating cooperation among users, and crafting compelling narratives to enhance the gamified experience. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by extending the understanding of gamification affordances and their interplay with narrative affordance within mobile payment platforms, providing a novel perspective on how these elements collectively shape user retention in the Indonesian context through the lens of social impact theory.

Abstract

Precarious employment is an increasingly prevalent feature of the academic landscape, particularly within Indonesian higher education institutions, posing significant challenges for human resource management. This study investigated the complex interplay between job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention among non-permanent (contractual) employees at Universitas Lambung Mangkurat (ULM), a context characterized by employment uncertainty. A quantitative, descriptive-analytical survey design was employed. Data were collected via questionnaires from a proportionally stratified sample of 128 non-permanent employees at ULM. Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) was utilized to test the hypothesized relationships between job satisfaction, organizational commitment (affective, continuance, and normative), and turnover intention. The findings revealed that job satisfaction had a significant positive influence on organizational commitment (β=0.422, p<0.001) and a significant negative influence on turnover intention (β=-0.371, p=0.013) among non-permanent academic staff. However, contrary to some established models, organizational commitment did not demonstrate a statistically significant direct effect on turnover intention (β=-0.216, p=0.108). Furthermore, organizational commitment did not significantly mediate the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention in this cohort (β=-0.091, p=0.260). In conclusion, job satisfaction emerged as a more dominant predictor of turnover intention than organizational commitment. The inherent uncertainties and limited long-term prospects associated with non-permanent contractual roles appear to diminish the capacity of organizational commitment to retain employees or mediate the effects of job satisfaction. These findings underscore the critical need for higher education institutions to prioritize enhancing job satisfaction for their precariously employed staff as a primary retention strategy.

Abstract

In the wake of recent elections, Indonesia’s political landscape has seen a consolidation of power and the co-optation of formal opposition parties, creating a vacuum in democratic accountability. This study investigates the emergence of a ‘New Opposition’—a constellation of civil society coalitions that have assumed the role of a critical check on state power. We examine the strategies these coalitions employ, their internal dynamics, and the mechanisms underpinning their resilience in an increasingly restrictive political environment. This research employed a 12-month ethnographic mixed-methods approach from May 2024 to May 2025. We conducted 35 in-depth interviews with activists, lawyers, and academics; participant observation within a major civil society coalition in Jakarta; and three focus group discussions. This qualitative data was triangulated with quantitative analysis, including a Social Network Analysis (SNA) of 45 organizations to map collaborative structures and a survey (n=150) of activists to gauge perceived strategic effectiveness. Our findings reveal a strategic repertoire that blends legal-constitutional challenges, sophisticated public narrative framing, and digitally-enabled mobilization. SNA results demonstrate a significant increase in network density (from 0.21 to 0.45) and centralization following key political triggers, indicating a rapid consolidation of the coalition. Key ‘broker’ organizations, particularly in the legal aid and digital rights sectors, were crucial for connecting disparate clusters. While digital platforms were vital for mobilization, they also exposed activists to significant risks, including doxxing and state-sponsored cyber-attacks, creating a paradox of visibility and vulnerability. In conclusion, Indonesian civil society coalitions have effectively transformed into a resilient ‘New Opposition,’ characterized by adaptive strategies and a robust, networked structure. They function as a crucial bulwark for democratic norms, operating outside formal political structures. Their resilience is derived not from a single strategy but from the synergistic interplay of legal, narrative, and digital contention, sustained by a dense network of trust and shared purpose. This study underscores the critical role of networked civil society in upholding democratic accountability in hybrid regimes.
