Abstract

Rattan MSMEs in Cirebon Regency play a significant role in supporting Indonesia’s handicraft industry and contributing to national export performance. However, increasing global competition, changing consumer preferences, and market uncertainty continue to challenge the ability of these enterprises to maintain sustainable marketing performance. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of product innovation on marketing performance with competitive advantage as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach with a causal associative research design was employed. The study involved 102 rattan MSMEs selected from a population of 136 business units using the Slovin sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS software. The findings indicate that product innovation has a positive and significant effect on both competitive advantage and marketing performance. In addition, competitive advantage significantly influences marketing performance and serves as a mediating variable in the relationship between product innovation and marketing performance. These results suggest that continuous product innovation can strengthen the competitive position of rattan MSMEs, which in turn improves their marketing performance. The study provides practical implications for MSME managers in developing innovation-driven strategies to achieve sustainable competitiveness and business growth.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed public transportation services through the adoption of digital applications aimed at improving user experience and satisfaction. In the railway transportation sector, the Access by KAI application serves as an important platform that provides ticketing, travel information, and other digital services. To enhance user engagement and satisfaction, gamification marketing and e-service quality have become essential strategies. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of gamification marketing and e-service quality on user satisfaction with the Access by KAI application. This study employed a quantitative associative-causal approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to Access by KAI users and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The analysis was conducted to examine the direct effects of gamification marketing and e-service quality on user satisfaction. The results indicate that both gamification marketing and e-service quality have positive and significant effects on user satisfaction. Furthermore, the two variables jointly contribute to improving overall user satisfaction with the application. These findings suggest that engaging gamification features and high-quality electronic services are important factors in creating a positive user experience. In conclusion, the implementation of gamification strategies and continuous improvement of e-service quality play a crucial role in enhancing user satisfaction. The findings provide practical insights for transportation service providers in developing more interactive, user-oriented, and competitive digital applications.

Abstract

Job satisfaction serves as a critical determinant of workforce performance and loyalty, particularly within labor-intensive industries characterized by repetitive tasks and emotional demands. This study examines the influence of emotional intelligence and self-efficacy on job satisfaction among employees of PT Gong Muke Craft, a rattan craft manufacturing company in Indonesia. Grounded in Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, this research addresses a notable gap in understanding psychological factors affecting manual craft workers, a population distinct from those in formal service or educational sectors. Employing a quantitative approach with causal associative design, data were collected through census sampling from 110 employees using validated questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis revealed that emotional intelligence exerted a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (B = 0.166, p = 0.018), whereas self-efficacy demonstrated no significant partial influence (B = 0.103, p = 0.181). Nonetheless, both variables collectively contributed significantly to job satisfaction (F = 10.460, p = 0.000), explaining 16.4% of the variance. These findings underscore the predominant role of emotional regulation over self-confidence beliefs in shaping job satisfaction within routine-based manual work environments. Practically, this research recommends emotion-focused training interventions to enhance employee wellbeing and reduce turnover intentions in craft industries.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has increased children's exposure to online environments, creating both opportunities and risks, including the rising phenomenon of child grooming. This study aims to develop and evaluate Virtual Reality (VR)-based digital literacy media as an innovative preventive strategy to enhance students' awareness and understanding of online grooming threats. The research adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, interviews, and documentation involving students, teachers, and experts. The findings indicate that VR-based learning media provides an immersive and interactive experience that significantly improves students' engagement and comprehension of digital safety concepts. Expert validation results show that the developed media is categorised as feasible and highly appropriate for educational use, with strong ratings in material accuracy, media design, and language clarity. The discussion reveals that VR simulations effectively support experiential learning by allowing students to recognise grooming patterns and practise decision-making in safe, simulated digital environments. In conclusion, VR-based digital literacy is an effective and innovative learning medium for preventing child grooming, as it increases awareness, understanding, and behavioural readiness among students, while also offering strong potential for integration into future digital education strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of e-service quality on repurchase intention through e-customer satisfaction among Shopee Food app users in Cirebon City. The development of app-based food delivery services encourages companies to improve the quality of their digital services to retain customers and increase user loyalty. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling method based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS 4 software. The research data were obtained through online questionnaires distributed to 210 respondents who are Shopee Food users and have used the service at least twice in the last three months. Purposive sampling was applied according to research criteria. The findings indicate that e-service quality has a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention and e-customer satisfaction. Moreover, e-customer satisfaction also shows a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention. The results further reveal that e-customer satisfaction mediates the relationship between e-service quality and repurchase intention. These findings provide practical implications for digital platforms and culinary MSMEs to enhance application usability, service speed, and transaction security to strengthen customer satisfaction and loyalty in the digital economy ecosystem. This study highlights the mediating role of e-customer satisfaction in the relationship between e-service quality and repurchase intention among Shopee Food users in Cirebon City.

Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia are critical drivers of economic growth and employment, yet they face persistent innovation challenges that impede competitiveness. Structural, strategic, and geographical disparities across the archipelago limit SMEs’ ability to leverage external knowledge, engage in open innovation, and adopt digital transformation initiatives effectively. This study aims to diagnose key innovation barriers in Indonesian SMEs and develop a conceptual framework to guide strategic interventions. A systematic bibliographic analysis was conducted using 788 Scopus-indexed documents published between 2000 and 2025. Keyword co-occurrence, thematic mapping, and temporal overlay analyses were applied to identify the conceptual structure, thematic clusters, and evolutionary patterns in SME innovation research. The analysis highlighted seven critical challenges: limited absorptive capacity, low engagement in open innovation, misaligned business strategies, insufficient policy support, fragmented innovation networks, weak innovation culture and leadership, and ineffective benchmarking systems. Findings indicate that while foundational concepts such as performance and entrepreneurship are well-established, strategic mechanisms and digital transformation remain peripheral in both practice and literature. The study’s discussion emphasizes the need for integrated interventions across organizational, knowledge, and strategic execution levels. In conclusion, the proposed multi-level conceptual framework provides a diagnostic tool for policymakers and SME managers to identify bottlenecks, enhance innovation capacity, and strengthen regional competitiveness.

Abstract

Rapid progress in the field of e-commerce in Indonesia has made competition between platforms increasingly fierce, so consumer loyalty is important for business sustainability. Shopee, as a well-known e-commerce platform in Indonesia, has problems in maintaining buyer loyalty when there are so many marketplace choices. This research was created to examine the effects of endorsements, content marketing, and brand trust on consumer loyalty on the Shopee platform. The research method used is quantitative with a survey method. Data was obtained from the distribution of questionnaires to 135 respondents, namely active Shopee users in Cirebon City, who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique using the SmartPLS application. The results of the measurement model test show that all constructs have met the requirements for validity and reliability. The results of the structural model analysis indicate that endorsements have a good and important impact on buyer loyalty. Content marketing also shows a good and important impact on buyer loyalty, with the greatest impact compared to other variables. In addition, brand trust has been proven to have a good and important impact on Shopee user loyalty. A determination coefficient (R²) value of 0.575 indicates that endorsement, content marketing, and brand trust may explain shopper loyalty in the moderate group. The findings of this study show that e-commerce user loyalty is influenced by effective digital marketing communication strategies, supported by relevant content and consumer trust levels in brands.
