Abstract

Knowledge management is increasingly regarded as a strategic element in the public sector due to its potential in managing intangible assets such as intellectual capital. This study aims to examine the role of knowledge management as both a mediating and moderating variable in the relationship between public intellectual capital and government procurement performance, with a case study at the Ministry of Finance. Public intellectual capital is divided into five components: human capital, organizational capital, social capital, technological capital, and relational capital. The analysis employs structural equation modeling – partial least squares (SEM-PLS) with a total of 298 respondents. In the first model, where knowledge management is positioned as a moderating variable, the results indicate that human, social, and relational capital have a significant direct impact on procurement performance. However, knowledge management does not demonstrate a significant moderating effect on these relationships. In contrast, the second model highlights the mediating role of knowledge management, which significantly bridges the influence of several intellectual capital components, specifically organizational, social, technological, and relational capital on procurement performance outcomes. This study underscores the theoretical relevance of positioning knowledge management as a mediating mechanism in public intellectual capital research. These findings further emphasize the importance of systematically and strategically integrating knowledge management into intellectual capital, rather than merely as a supporting factor.

Abstract

Growing consumer pressure for businesses to adopt sustainable practices has made green branding a global priority, particularly in emerging markets such as Indonesia where environmental challenges and rising awareness intersect. This study investigates how green brand image and message clarity influence sustainable purchase behavior through the mediating role of consumer trust, and how green skepticism shapes this process. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected from 172 Indonesian consumers with prior experience purchasing eco-friendly products. Structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS-SEM) was applied to test the hypotheses. The results show that both green brand image and message clarity significantly enhance consumer trust, which in turn strongly drives sustainable purchase behavior. Trust is also confirmed as the key psychological mechanism mediating the effects of brand signals on consumer action. Importantly, the analysis reveals that green skepticism weakens this pathway: even when consumers trust a brand, higher skepticism reduces the extent to which trust translates into sustainable purchases. These findings extend Signaling Theory by demonstrating how trust and skepticism jointly shape consumer responses to green branding in a high-information-asymmetry context. Practically, the study offers actionable insights for managers and policymakers by emphasizing the need for consistent brand identity, transparent communication, and verifiable claims. By addressing both trust-building and skepticism-reduction, businesses can advance more effective green marketing strategies and foster authentic consumer engagement with sustainability.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of transformational leadership on innovative work behavior in higher education institutions, examining the mediating roles of knowledge sharing and motivation to learn. Data were collected from 150 full-time lecturers in public and private universities in Padang, Indonesia. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings reveal that transformational leadership positively influences innovative work behavior directly and indirectly through knowledge sharing, confirming a partial mediation effect. However, motivation to learn does not significantly mediate this relationship, indicating its intrinsically driven nature. The study confirms the importance of leadership style and collaborative culture in fostering innovation among academic staff. Theoretically, the research enriches the understanding of psychological and social mechanisms linking leadership to innovation, particularly in the unique context of higher education. Practically, it offers insights for university leaders to cultivate a supportive environment that encourages knowledge sharing and intrinsic learning motivation, which are essential for sustaining innovation in academic settings.

Abstract

This research investigates the moderating role of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risk ratings in the relationship between traditional Fama-French framework and excess stock returns among companies listed in the ESG Leaders Index for the 2021–2023 period. Using moderated regression analysis (MRA), the findings reveal that small minus big (SMB) exerts a significant positive impact on excess returns, confirming the relevance of firm size as a pricing factor even within the sustainability-focused investment universe. Meanwhile, market risk and high minus low (HML) do not show demonstrate statistical relevance direct effects, although HML is marginally significant. Furthermore, ESG risk rating demonstrates a moderating effect only in the relationship between HML and excess returns, suggesting that sustainability considerations may weaken the traditional value premium. These results highlight the partial integration of ESG risk into asset pricing dynamics and underline the essentiality of incorporating ESG factors in developing more robust, sustainable investment strategies. The study provides practical insights for market participants, fund managers, and authorities navigating the transition toward sustainable finance in emerging markets.

Abstract

The businesses are developing dynamically and need brilliant ideas to be sustainable in the market. One of them is using influencers as an effective tool for their marketing activities. Although some studies discuss how influencers are one of the most effective marketing tools, few discuss the relationship between the influencers and social media users. Therefore, businesses must know several factors that may influence this relationship between the two. This study is based on the theory of information relevance. Therefore, the findings have been presented to show the link between influencer-generated content with emotional attachment and the quality of the information in deducing the relationship between influencers and consumers on social media. Results from 230 respondents indicated that influencer-generated content that is interesting, updated, reliable, and understandable to consumers is more able to increase the emotional interest of consumers in the influencers. Reliability and understandability contribute positively to information quality. This encourages the consumer to follow or recommend the influencer to many on social media. This can also boost the popularity of influencers on social media. The study should help researchers and businesses improve their understanding of the social media relationship between influencers and consumers. In addition, it also offers recommendations regarding influencer performance management for businesses.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the influence of digital skills (DS) on digital work readiness (DWR) among youth, with digital self-efficacy (DSE) as a mediating variable and government digital support (GDS) as a moderating variable. Given the rapid pace of digital transformation reshaping the labor market, understanding the interplay between technical competencies and psychological empowerment is crucial, particularly for young job seekers. A quantitative survey was employed involving 200 respondents aged 18–35 years old in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that DSE is strongly and significantly impacted by DS. Nevertheless, DWR is not directly impacted by DS. Rather, DSE plays a crucial function as a psychological facilitator by fully mediating the link between DS and DWR. However, the statistically insignificant moderating effect of GDS on the relationship between DS and DWR indicates that this pathway is not strengthened by GDS. This study is context-specific to youth in the Yogyakarta region and focuses solely on the integration of DS, DSE, and GDS in predicting DWR. Further research could expand the demographic scope and incorporate additional socio-contextual factors to deepen understanding of digital employability. This study contributes a novel empirical model by integrating both psychological and institutional dimensions into the analysis of DWR. It challenges the conventional reliance on technical training alone and underscores the critical need for confidence-building and GDS to enhance youth employability.

Abstract

The paper examines how the socio-economic developments of women entrepreneurs in Bangladesh are influenced by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). An equal weighted composite index based on a quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed on 489 women entrepreneurs borrowing SME loans to meet the objectives. The study employed methodologies such as OLS, quantile regression, bootstrapped regression, standardised beta regression, hierarchical regression, and moderation effects to test the hypotheses and check the robustness. Results indicate that access to loans and adequacy of loans have a positive influence on the socio-economic development of women entrepreneurs. On the other hand, tight credit checks, excessive collateral requirements and lack of institutional support are growth inhibitors, particularly among low-income individuals. The study has significant policy implications in that SME loans are significantly contributing to the socio-economic welfare of the women entrepreneurs, and Loan factors impact mostly, while both age and education imply the variations across the benefits received from the SME loans. This paper adds value to the literature by examining the dynamics between financial inclusion and institutional support in determining the success of women entrepreneurs by leveraging rigorous econometric modelling. The study paves the way to further research and policy development with a focus on the absorption of SME benefits by optimising loan factors and institutional factors, similar to other emerging economies.

Abstract

In the growing importance of personalized digital services in the banking sector, the integration of personal data through customer data platforms (CDPs) has become a strategic priority. This study explores how personal data privacy influences perceived personalization and operational efficiency in digital banking services, while also investigating the moderating role of local culture. The research is motivated by increasing consumer demands for both personalized services and greater control over personal data. Personal data privacy was conceptualized as a multidimensional construct comprising knowledge, experience, control, willingness to value privacy, and trust. A quantitative method using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with 10,000 bootstrapping resamples was employed. The analysis was conducted using SmartPLS version 4.1.1.4, which enables efficient estimation of complex models. Data were collected offline from 200 respondents who are active users of digital banking services from Himbara member banks. The results indicate that personal data privacy has a significant positive effect on both perceived personalization and operational efficiency. Among its dimensions, willingness to value privacy emerged as the most influential. Local culture was found to significantly moderate both relationships, suggesting that cultural context plays a critical role in shaping digital service outcomes. These findings contribute to theory and practice by highlighting the importance of integrating privacy protection and cultural sensitivity in the design of personalized digital banking services.

Abstract

Rwanda’s real estate sector has experienced robust growth in recent years; however, developers continue to face unstable profit margins due to unpredictable macroeconomic policy shifts. This financial volatility undermines investment confidence and sectoral planning. The objective of this study is to examine how macro-policy realignments, specifically interest rate fluctuations, fiscal incentives, and regulatory changes, affect the cyclicality of profit margins among real estate developers in Rwanda. The study employs correlational research design, using secondary data collected from monetary policy bulletins, fiscal records, and audited financial statements of real estate firms between 2019 and 2023. Findings reveal that interest rate changes have a statistically significant and positive effect on profit margin variation, confirming that monetary tightening increases financial uncertainty and compresses returns. In contrast, fiscal incentives and regulatory reforms exhibit statistically insignificant effects, suggesting that these instruments are either poorly structured, inconsistently applied, or too recent in implementation to produce stabilizing outcomes. The study concludes that macroeconomic policy realignments substantially influence profit margin cyclicality, with monetary policy having the most immediate and measurable impact. Accordingly, it recommends that the National Bank of Rwanda institutionalize structured stakeholder consultations before major interest rate decisions to promote risk mitigation, planning certainty, and sustainable sectoral growth.
