Abstract

Objective: This research aims to analyze how ethical leadership can encourage innovative work behavior among university lecturers, by also considering the mediating role of psycho-social well-being and the moderating role of perceived organizational support. Research Design & Methods: This study uses a quantitative approach through structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques using partial least squares (SmartPLS 3). Data were collected using a structured questionnaire sent to 332 university lecturers in West Java and Banten. Findings: Ethical leadership (EL) has a positive and significant influence on the innovative work behavior (IWB) of lecturers, both directly and through the mediation of psycho-social well-being (PSWB). Perceived Organizational Support (POS) has been proven to strengthen this relationship by enhancing the sense of belonging and affective commitment of lecturers towards the institution. Implications & Recommendations: For higher education institution administrators, the results of this study provide an empirical foundation for designing leadership policies and organizational interventions aimed at enhancing the psycho-social well-being and innovative capacity of lecturers. Contribution & Value Added: This research adds to the existing knowledge about leadership and innovative behavior by explaining how PSWB and POS help improve the effects of EL, particularly during times of digital change and the use of AI in higher education.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the key factors driving the adoption of green innovation and how the adoption relates to the enhancement of sustainable business performance in North Sumatra context. Research Design & Methods: A quantitative design was applied through structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software, based on data previously collected from 371 Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in food and beverage (F&B) sector. Findings: The results showed that organizational factors, human resources, and technology were significant drivers in implementing green innovation. The adoption of this innovation has been proven to contribute positively to the social and environmental aspects of sustainable performance, although it did not have a significant impact on the economic aspect. Implications & Recommendations: This study provided valuable insights on green innovation, a topic that has received limited scholarly focus in the context of North Sumatra MSMEs. It also offered more insights into previously unanswered questions regarding the determinants of green innovation adoption and their potential role in fostering sustainable performance among MSMEs. Contribution & Value Added: Theoretically, this study expanded the use of Resource-Based View (RBV) by emphasizing the importance of internal resource management directed toward environmentally sound innovation to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Practically, the results provided strategic guidance for MSMEs and policymakers in designing resource-based policies to encourage transformation toward sustainability.

Abstract

Objective: Examine how e-payment usage influences consumer spending and cash management, and assess the moderating role of financial literacy in an emerging-market context. Research Design & Methods: Quantitative survey of active e-payment users in Central Java, Indonesia. Constructs were measured with Likert-scale items. Relationships among e-payment usage, consumer behavior, cash management, and financial literacy (moderator) were analyzed using PLS-SEM with established validity and reliability procedures. Findings: E-payment facilitates more frequent and effortless purchasing by lowering psychological frictions at checkout, which can elevate impulsive spending. At the same time, its built-in records and dashboards support better oversight of income–expense flows, budgeting, and planning. Financial literacy shapes these outcomes: higher literacy helps curb excessive spending and strengthens the use of app features for monitoring, budgeting, and goal setting. Overall, the impact of e-payment is dual and contingent on users’ financial knowledge and self-regulation. Implications & Recommendations: Pair cashless initiatives with digital financial-literacy programs. Embed in-app nudges such as spend alerts, weekly summaries, category caps, and goal tracking. Tailor guidance for low-literacy segments and encourage responsible defaults. Contribution & Value Added: Provides emerging-market evidence clarifying when and how e-payments promote or undermine financial discipline, integrates behavioral-finance and financial-literacy perspectives via moderation analysis, and offers actionable design and policy insights to enhance consumer financial well-being.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates how perceived hedonic value influences online impulsive buying behavior in the context of live streaming e-commerce, emphasizing the mediating roles of positive emotions and hedonic browsing within the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) framework. Research Design & Methods: Using an explanatory quantitative approach and purposive sampling, data were collected from 200 Indonesian consumers aged 17–44 who had purchased products via live streaming e-commerce. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.1.1.4. Findings: Perceived hedonic value significantly affects both positive emotions and hedonic browsing. However, only hedonic browsing mediates the relationship between perceived hedonic value and online impulsive buying behavior. Positive emotions show no significant mediating or direct effect. Implications & Recommendations: For practitioners, the study suggests that e-commerce platforms and marketers should design live streaming features that maximize hedonic value, foster emotional engagement, and encourage exploratory browsing to stimulate consumer impulsivity. Strategically leveraging entertainment elements, real-time interaction, and time-limited promotions can enhance customer experience and increase sales. Contribution & Value Added: This study extends digital consumer behavior literature by testing positive emotions and hedonic browsing as parallel mediators in the S-O-R framework, offering insights into the psychological mechanisms driving impulsive purchases in Indonesia’s live streaming e-commerce context.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the effects of environmental awareness, environmental attitude, and perceptions of green marketing on consumer trust in eco-friendly products in modern retail. Research Design & Methods: The research employs a quantitative survey design with a purposive random sampling technique, yielding 100 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression in SPSS. Findings: The results show that environmental awareness, environmental attitude, and perceptions of green marketing have positive and significant effects on consumer trust. Implications & Recommendations: Practically, modern retailers need to strengthen the credibility of their green communications (credible certifications/labels, traceability evidence) and enhance consumer education so that sustainability claims are understood and trusted. Contribution & Value Added: The novelty of this study lies in integrating VBN and Signaling Theory within a single model to explain the formation of green trust in Indonesia’s modern retail context. The findings further reinforce the proposition that building green trust requires a combination of consumers’ awareness and positive attitudes together with credible and consistent green marketing signals. The synergy of these factors is crucial for encouraging the adoption of eco-friendly products in modern retail.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the determinants of financial inclusion among MSME owners in North Central Nigeria. Research Design & Methods: The study adopted a survey research design; the target population consisted of 11,607 MSME owners across North Central Nigeria. A combination of stratified and simple random sampling techniques was used to select participants. The sample size of 435 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan’s (1970) sample size formula. Data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Findings: The findings revealed that push-pull factors significantly explained variations in financial inclusion. Based on these results, the study concludes that push-pull factors have a positive effect on the financial inclusion of MSME owners in North Central Nigeria. Practical Implications: This study accentuates the imperative for financial regulatory bodies to adopt targeted financial inclusion management strategies tailored to the unique needs of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). By doing so, these institutions can catalyze economic emancipation, particularly in emerging economies such as Nigeria. Recommendations: The study recommends that the government should implement financial literacy programs to raise awareness among MSME owners about the importance of financial knowledge and skills. Additionally, the government should collaborate with banks to provide lower interest rates and more flexible repayment options to ensure that financial support effectively reaches the intended beneficiaries. Contribution & Value Added: This research contributes to the literature by empirically demonstrating the influence of push-pull factors such as necessity-driven entrepreneurship (push) and opportunity-driven entrepreneurship (pull) on MSME performance in Kwara State, Nigeria.

Abstract

Objective: Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Match-Up Hypothesis, this study examines how celebrity endorsement credibility influences consumers’ purchase intention, with attitude toward the brand as a mediating variable and brand congruity as a moderating factor in the context of the Muslim fashion brand Buttonscarves. Research Design & Methods: An online survey collected responses from 181 individuals who were familiar with Buttonscarves products. The analysis employed PLS-SEM to evaluate construct validity and to test the structural model, including the second-order construct of endorser credibility. Findings: Celebrity endorsement credibility positively influences both brand attitude and purchase intention. Brand attitude also significantly mediates this relationship. However, brand congruity does not moderate the link between brand attitude and purchase intention, indicating that perceived credibility and emotional evaluation are stronger determinants of purchase intention than perceived endorser–brand fit. Implications & Recommendations: Marketers should prioritize endorsers with strong authenticity and credibility to strengthen brand attitudes and drive consumer intention, rather than relying solely on perceived image similarity. Contribution & Value Added: This study advances understanding of endorsement effectiveness by empirically integrating TPB and the Match-Up Hypothesis in the Muslim fashion context. In this area, empirical evidence remains limited. The findings provide theoretical and practical insights into designing culturally aligned and attitude-driven endorsement strategies.

Abstract

Objective: In contexts where women entrepreneurs must navigate overlapping business and family roles, the path to entrepreneurial success is often shaped not only by internal capacities, but also by familial dynamics. Drawing from Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study investigates how entrepreneurial mindset influences women’s entrepreneurial success through experiential learning, while accounting for the conditional effects of family-related stress and family support. Research Design & Methods: Using Hayes' PROCESS Model 9, this study tests a conditional process model where experiential learning mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial success. Furthermore, family-related stress and family support are positioned as moderators in the relationship. Data were collected from 180 women entrepreneurs in West Java, and analyzed using conditional process analysis. Findings: The findings provide insight into whether and how the dual roles of family, as a potential source of emotional strain and/or support, impact women’s learning and success in entrepreneurial environments. Implications & Recommendations: Practical implications include strategies for strengthening support systems for women entrepreneurs and addressing the hidden costs of family-related stress in entrepreneurial contexts. Contribution & Value Added: The study contributes to the literature on women entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial cognition, and learning, while also highlighting the nuanced role of the family system within women’s entrepreneurial activity.

Abstract

Objective: This study explores how family values are reflected in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices of family owned small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It also seeks to identify the dominant theoretical frameworks and conceptual models used in CSR research on these firms. This study addresses a gap in the literature by focusing specifically on SMEs, which have been underrepresented in systematic reviews of CSR in family businesses. Research Design & Methods: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive database search identified 418 articles that were initially screened based on clearly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. After a multi-stage review process, 55 articles were selected for analysis. This study employed thematic analysis to categorize CSR motivations, practices, and outcomes in family-owned SMEs. Findings: Findings indicate that CSR in family-owned SMEs is strongly shaped by informal mechanisms, community embeddedness, and intergenerational values. Socioemotional wealth (SEW) and stewardship theories are the most frequently applied frameworks. However, CSR initiatives in these firms are typically reactive and value-driven, rather than strategic. Variations were found across contexts, with firms in developing countries being more influenced by family legacy and community ties. Implications & Recommendations: This study highlights the need for tailored CSR frameworks that consider the informal nature and resource limitations of family-owned SMEs. Policymakers and support institutions should design CSR programs that align with these firms’ values and structures. Future research should explore the longitudinal changes in CSR motivations as family firms evolve across generations. Contribution & Value Added: This study contributes to the CSR and family business literature by focusing on how CSR is practiced and theorized within family-owned SMEs. It differentiates itself from prior reviews by concentrating on smaller enterprises and uncovering unique CSR patterns tied to family dynamics and informal governance structures.
