Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how UTAUT constructs influence FinTech adoption and how this adoption affects Quality of Life (QoL) in Surabaya, Indonesia. The research is driven by the rising use of digital financial services in Indonesia and the need to understand whether this behavior supports or reduces user well-being. Methodology: This research employs a quantitative approach using purposive sampling. Data were collected from 123 FinTech users and analyzed using PLS-SEM. Results: All UTAUT constructs positively influence FinTech adoption, except Effort Expectancy, which is insignificant (p = 0.301). FinTech adoption positively influence user’s QoL (p = 0.000) and mediates Performance Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions on QoL, but not Effort Expectancy (p = 0.329). Findings: Facilitating Conditions are the strongest predictor of adoption. The weak role of Effort Expectancy presents a different pattern compared to some earlier studies. Novelty:  The study provides evidence on how adoption factors relate to well-being in an Indonesian metropolitan city. Originality: The research reveals a distinct empirical patterns, particularly the dominant role of Facilitating Conditions and the weak influence of Effort Expectancy. Conclusion: FinTech adoption supports better QoL in Surabaya, highlighting the importance of improved infrastructure and user support. Type of Paper: This paper is an empirical research paper.

Purpose: This research endeavors to examine the differences in parental financial teaching (PFT) and financial literacy (FIL) between individuals with family-business backgrounds and those without in Indonesia. Methodology: Data from 542 respondents, collected via an online questionnaire, were compared using descriptive statistics and independent t-tests. Results: The analysis showed that parental financial teaching (PFT) in family-business is higher; however, financial literacy (FIL) between the two groups is not significantly different. Findings: Research proved that a family-business environment fosters  more intensive financial socialisation. Nevertheless, this does not lead to significant differences in financial literacy. Novelty: This research integrates the financial literacy variable and parents parental pedagogical practices into a single empirical framework that accommodates differences in family backgrounds. Originality: This study's original findings in Indonesia challenge the assumption that greater parental financial teaching in family businesses automatically results in higher financial literacy. Conclusion: This research examines the difference in financial teaching and financial literacy between family-business backgrounds and non-family-business backgrounds. The results show that even though financial teaching is higher in family-business, financial literacy in the two groups is not significantly different. Type of Paper: Research paper.

Abstract

Purpose: This research focuses on exploring the extent to which ignorance, indifference, and responsible avoidance are associated with maladaptive coping mechanisms in green marketing and how these mechanisms affect consumer purchasing behavior towards green products. Considering the fact that consumers are becoming overwhelmed with sustainability messages and information to the point of actually undermining their intention to purchase green products, the relevance of this research becomes more apparent. Methodology: This study employed a theory synthesis to propose a research framework. The sustainability message led to avoidance behaviors; thus, the proposed framework provides an understanding of how mental and emotional strains affect the marketing of green products. Results: The study also highlights the fact that an overload of information, particularly in the context of green and sustainable marketing, serves as a boundary condition that results in the reverse of the desired outcomes. Findings: The research also provides a research model that demonstrates how the three types of avoidance-related behavior disengage consumers, representing an integrated framework. Novelty & Originality: The novelty of this study lies in its integrated examination of three distinct avoidance-related behaviors within a single framework in the context of green marketing, an approach rarely undertaken in prior research. Its originality emerges from the application of theory synthesis to connect maladaptive coping mechanisms with consumer disengagement. Conclusions: Finally, the research reaffirms that to avoid the aforementioned maladaptive behaviors, the target audience of green products should be provided with simplified, relevant, and clear messages. Type of Paper: This paper is an empirical research paper.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the influence of compensation, workload, and organizational support on employee performance at Super Dazzle Yogyakarta. This research is important considering that employee performance is a major factor in the success of a retail company. Methodology: The approach used is quantitative with associative research. The population in this study were all Super Dazzle Yogyakarta employees, with a sample of 102 respondents determined using saturated sampling techniques. Data were collected through directly distributed questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: The results showed that compensation and organizational support had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while workload had a negative and significant effect on employee performance. Findings: These findings indicate that a fair compensation system, adequate organizational support, and appropriate workload management are key factors in improving employee performance. Novelty & Originality: The novelty of this study lies in the simultaneous testing of these three variables in the context of a local retail company, which is still relatively rarely studied. This study is important because it provides empirical evidence on how compensation, workload, and organizational support jointly influence employee performance in a local retail context, offering practical insights for human resource management decision-making in similar service-based organizations. Conclusions: The results show that improved employee performance can be achieved through a balance between providing good compensation, strong organizational support, and proportional workload control to support the achievement of company goals. Type of Paper: This paper is an empirical research paper.
