Abstract

As supply chains become increasingly digitalized, cybersecurity (CBS) threats escalate, necessitating the adoption of innovative technologies such as blockchain technology (BLT) to enhance security. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of blockchain technology (BLT) on cybersecurity (CBS) measures within the supply chains of manufacturing enterprises, considering the moderating role of user-centric orientation (UCO). The study is grounded in the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory and adopts a cross-sectional quantitative research design, using a questionnaire survey to collect data from 206 supply chain partners of manufacturing enterprises in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Hayes’ PROCESS macro is employed to test model hypotheses. The study results exhibit a significant positive direct effect of both BLT and UCO on CBS. Furthermore, UCO positively moderates the relationship between BLT and CBS. For manufacturing enterprises and supply chain partners seeking to implement BLT to enhance CBS, the study highlights the importance of incorporating UCO into the design and implementation of security protocols, ensuring that users are educated and actively involved in CBS practices. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on BLT and CBS by exploring the under-researched moderating role of UCO. It extends the application of DOI theory to the intersection of BLT and CBS in manufacturing supply chains, offering a novel perspective on how user engagement can optimise the security benefits of emerging technologies.

Abstract

The rice milling industry (RMI) is one of the oldest industries in the world and is dominated by small-scale family businesses. After decades, the RMI in Indonesia has experienced a cycle of stagnation and has struggled to develop due to various internal and external factors. This paper attempts to predict the sustainability of family businesses in the RMI. This study uses a multiple case study approach and involves 9 family businesses located in Central Lampung, Lampung Province, Indonesia. The nine family businesses are grouped into three categories: 3 small-scale rice mills (SRM), 3 medium-scale rice mills (MRM), and 3 large-scale rice mills (LRM). Data collection was conducted with in-depth interviews and supported by the McKinsey/General Electric (GE) matrix as an analytical tool to assess business strength and industry attractiveness. The results show that SRM has a low GE matrix value in terms of both its business strength and industry attractiveness. As a consequence, they have switched to other businesses and do not expect the next generation to continue the business. MRM generally has medium GE matrix values on both sides. They are trying to survive while waiting for the industry environment to become more conducive. Only LRM has a high value on both sides. They try to modernize the technology and involve the next generation to continue the business. The results of this study illustrate the possibility of a shift in the scale of RMI in the future, where SRM’s family business is expected to withdraw from the industry, and what remains are MRM and LRM.

Abstract

This study addresses the critical gap in understanding High-Speed Rail (HSR) marketing strategies in emerging Southeast Asian markets, such as Indonesia, where unique cultural, economic, and infrastruc­tural factors require tailored approaches. Employing bibliometric analysis, the present study delves deeper into the evolution of HSR marketing from 2014 to 2023, analyzing 138 Scopus-indexed articles through R Studio (bibliometrix) and VOSviewer. The study identifies key trends, including the emphasis on pricing strategies, consumer behavior, and sustainability. An increase in publications, especially from emerging markets, indicates a growing interest in the marketing dynamics of HSR. Co-authorship networks and citation analysis high­light prominent authors and institutions, while keyword clustering reveals a shift toward customer satisfaction and environmental concerns. A significant gap in research emerges pertinent to HSR marketing strategies in Southeast Asia, pointing toward the need for region-specific approaches. The findings reveal a research gap in emerging markets like Indonesia, where themes such as “willingness to pay” and “tourism development” remain underexplored. As indicated by the low keyword density and thematic map results, future studies should focus more on consumer behavior and localized marketing strategies to support HSR adoption in diverse socio-economic contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates how psychological safety and transformational leadership influence empowering leadership and, in turn, how empowering leadership fosters job satisfaction to reduce employee disengagement and promote innovative work behavior. Drawing on self-determination theory and social exchange theory, this research develops an integrated model in which job satisfaction and empowering leadership serve as key mediators. Furthermore, the study examines the moderating role of regional context, urban versus regional areas in Indonesia, in shaping the relationship between job satisfaction and disengagement. Data were collected from 500 employees across various industries using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that both psychological safety and transformational leadership significantly enhance empowering leadership, which subsequently boosts job satisfaction. In turn, job satisfaction reduces disengagement and indirectly promotes innovative work behavior. Importantly, the negative effect of job satisfaction on disengagement is significantly weaker in urban areas than in regional areas. This study contributes to leadership and organizational behavior literature by highlighting the contextual importance of region in disengagement dynamics. It offers practical insights for managers seeking to cultivate innovation through empowerment and regional sensitivity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze performance management practices at Gun Collection, a family-owned SME operating in the apparel retail and distri­bution sector, facing operational challenges and opportunities for growth in local markets. Using a case study approach, this research explores key elements of the performance management system, including perfor­mance evaluation, employee development, rewards and compensation, and compliance with labor regulations. Theoretically, this study employs the framework developed by Aguinis (2019), identifying five key dimen­sions in the performance management process: Prerequisites, Perfor­mance Planning, Performance Execution, Performance Assessment, and Performance Review. This research adopts a qualitative case study method. The findings reveal that Gun Collection successfully imple­ments a structured performance management system through regular evaluations, technical and interpersonal training programs, contribution-based rewards, and adherence to labor regulations. This holistic approach enhances individual productivity and team collaboration and strengthens a competitive and sustainable organizational culture. However, the study also highlights challenges such as limited resources and the need for adaptation in a dynamic business environment. The study contributes theoretically by expanding the understanding of performance manage­ment implementation in SMEs, particularly in developing countries. Practically, the findings guide SME practitioners to design relevant and effective performance management systems to support organizational growth and sustainability.

Abstract

Amid disruption and constant change, the ability to respond with flexibility, often referred to as strategic agility, has become vital in helping MSMEs remain competitive. This is especially true for the handicraft sector, which continues to feel the effects of the pandemic alongside increasing pressure to adopt digital and sustainable practices. This research explores how strategic agility directly influences organizational performance, while also examining whether digital transformation and green innovation play mediating roles in that relationship. The study builds upon the resource-based view (RBV) and natural-resource-based view (NRBV), which underline the importance of internal strengths and sustainable approaches as key drivers of advantage. Data were gathered from 50 MSMEs in the Special Region of Yogyakarta through a Likert-scale questionnaire. The analysis was conducted using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicate that strategic agility contributes positively to performance, both on its own and by facilitating green innovation and digital transformation. Moreover, the presence of green innovation appears to reinforce the effect of digital transformation on business outcomes, emphasizing the value of environmentally responsible practices. This research enriches current literature by presenting an integrated framework and offering insights that can assist MSMEs in aligning their innovation strategies with both technological and ecological shifts. In conclusion, strengthening strategic agility along with developing digital capacity and sustainability focus can be a valuable direction for MSMEs. The findings offer useful input for practitioners and policymakers seeking to formulate long-term, resource-based strategies for business resilience in evolving markets.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of opportunity-enhancing HR practices on employees’ creative performance, with work engagement as a mediating variable and proactive personality and job autonomy as moderating variables. The research addresses a gap in the literature, which often overlooks internal linkages among HR system components, particularly the role of opportunity-enhancing practices in translating employee potential into actual performance. The study involved 214 employees selected from a total population of 482 employees working in the palm oil mill industry in Riau Province, using systematic random sampling. Data were collected through a survey and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0. The results indicate that opportunity-enhancing HR practices positively affect creative performance through the mediating role of work engagement. Employees’ proactive personality strengthens this indirect effect. However, job autonomy does not significantly moderate the relationship between engagement and creative performance. Grounded in the componential theory of creativity and the conservation of resources theory, these findings provide practical insights for organizations aiming to foster innovation and sustain competitive advantage through targeted HR practices.

Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that produce traditional products face a dilemma between preserving cultural authenticity and innovating. This study aims to explore the mediating role of Cultural Resource Bricolage (CRB) in enhancing Innovative Market Performance (IMP) through the Cultural Authenticity Perception (CAP). Data were collected from 356 SMEs in the traditional culinary, ethnic fashion, and ethnic jewelry sectors in Central Java, Indonesia, and analyzed using the SEM-PLS method. The results show that CRB significantly mediates the relationship between CAP and IMP, helping SMEs preserve cultural authenticity while remaining relevant in modern markets. It was found that CAP is the most significant construct in influencing outcomes, although its performance is slightly lower compared to CRB. These findings provide practical contributions by offering culture-based innovation strategies that SMEs can implement and theoretical contributions by expanding the understanding of the relationship between cultural authenticity, innovation, and market performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between the adoption of financial technology (Fintech), financial literacy, and participation in the stock market in Tanzania, employing a thorough analysis of primary data collected through an online self-reported survey. By implementing purposive sampling techniques, this research executed a series of diagnostic evaluations, encompassing tests for multicollinearity, normality, and heteroskedasticity, to substantiate the integrity of the regression model utilized. The results indicate that the utilization of fintech substantially enhances involvement in stock market activities, thereby corroborating the hypothesis that fintech acts as a facilitator for individual participation in trading activities. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the essential function of financial literacy, suggesting that elevated levels of financial knowledge are positively correlated with an increase in stock market participation. Notably, the effect of fintech on stock market engagement decreased from a coefficient of β = 0.41 to β = 0.19 upon accounting for financial literacy. However, the association persisted as statistically significant (p = 0.002), thereby demonstrating a condition of partial mediation. These findings highlight the fundamental significance of financial literacy as a crucial determinant in fostering active involvement in financial markets. In conclusion, this research provides insightful contributions to the understanding of the interrelations among fintech, financial literacy, and investment behaviors in Tanzania, presenting implications for the formulation of policies, enhancement of financial education, and improvement of market accessibility.

Abstract

This study evaluates the integration of learning models within the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia, using the SECI model as a theoretical framework to assess knowledge management practices. The research addresses the urgent need for effective knowledge integration in public sector organizations, particularly in light of the Ministry’s adoption of the 70:20:10 learning model. The primary objective is to analyze the alignment of this model with the SECI framework and identify areas for improvement in knowledge management practices. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) to assess the perceived importance and performance of three integrated learning models: Learning from Experience, Social Learning, and Formal Learning. Data were collected from 382 employees using surveys based on a 1-5 Likert scale. The results indicate significant gaps in the integration of explicit knowledge, particularly in the Learning from Experience and Social Learning models. These models were found to lack sufficient structures for organizing and disseminating explicit knowledge, which hindered their effectiveness. The study recommends the development of a centralized knowledge management system, standardized documentation guidelines, and enhanced collaborative learning environments to address these gaps. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of the SECI model in public sector learning environments and offers practical insights for improving knowledge management strategies. The findings provide valuable implications for policy and decision-making, aiming to optimize learning processes and enhance organizational performance in public sector institutions.
