Abstract

This study designs a socio-technical accounting information system (AIS) for a digital startup operating within Indonesia’s sharing economy. It aims to align technological components with organizational routines, human interactions, and the performance-based payroll structure used by online media platforms. Using the ADDIE development framework—Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate—this research collects primary data through interviews and observations, supported by secondary company records. The system is developed into a contextualized AIS prototype that integrates socio-technical systems (STS) principles to ensure real-time revenue tracking, transparent payroll calculations, and improved coordination among the startup, its technology provider, and content creators. The results show that combining STS with ADDIE produces a flexible and human-centered AIS that supports performance-based compensation and collaborative digital workflows. This study offers originality by addressing the limited AIS design research for sharing economy-based digital startups in emerging economies, particularly in online media contexts. The findings provide practical implications for startups seeking adaptive, transparent, and resource-efficient financial systems aligned with decentralized business models.

Abstract

Implemented at a manufacturing site, culture-building initiatives such as a Culture Council, Women Forum events, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) programs were studied to determine their impact on employee engagement and organizational results. The purpose of this study is to get a better understanding of how these integrated activities affect the views, experiences, and overall work environment of employees. With the use of internal engagement indicators to bolster triangulation, a qualitative case study technique was used, which included conducting semi-structured interviews with individuals who were purposefully chosen. In order to extract meaningful patterns from the interview data, reflexive thematic analysis was used. Thirdly, a more positive organizational climate, indicated by high favorable engagement scores, was a cumulative effect of the three main findings: first, culture-building initiatives considerably increased employee voice and cross-functional participation; second, DE&I and Women Forum programs improved perceptions of inclusion and belonging; and third, these improvements individually contributed to the better climate. Employee experience, psychological safety, and organizational attitudes may all be greatly improved by cultural interventions that are participatory and inclusion-driven, according to the study's findings. These results show how valuable it is to combine inclusive practices with continuous listening methods, and they provide useful insights for firms that want to increase participation via integrated cultural initiatives. To learn more about how cultural initiatives work in different types of organizations, this study calls for further comparative and longitudinal studie.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the Indonesian economy; however, many continue to face challenges in business management, particularly in branding, digital marketing, pricing strategies, and operational efficiency. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a comprehensive mentoring program implemented for a sound system rental MSME, “The Ndee Sound System,” located in Cikarang. The research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with the business owner and related parties, documentation review, and competitor analysis. The mentoring program was conducted through five main stages: development of brand identity and digital presence, systematic organization of an equipment portfolio, enhancement of event documentation and customer testimonials, implementation of transparent and structured pricing, and establishment of strategic partnerships with supporting vendors. Each stage was designed to gradually strengthen managerial capacity, improve service quality, and enhance market competitiveness. The results indicate significant improvements in business performance. Monthly revenue increased by 45%, while customer inquiries rose by up to 600%, and the conversion rate reached 25–30%. In addition, operational costs were reduced by approximately 25% through strategic partnerships, and operational readiness improved to 90%. A stronger brand identity and consistent digital presence also contributed to a substantial increase in brand awareness, expanding the business reach from a local to a regional market. This study concludes that a structured and holistic mentoring approach can significantly improve business performance, competitiveness, and long-term sustainability of service-based MSMEs, particularly in the event equipment rental sector.

Abstract

Small and medium-sized engineering firms are seeing difficulties in recruiting Generation Z professionals. This new cohort of employees has distinct expectations upon entering the labor market. They want transparent communication, ethical behavior from their companies, and recruitment experiences centered on technology. These preferences often contrast sharply with the informal practices commonly used by engineering SMEs, resulting in an attraction gap that affects operational continuity and long-term competitiveness. This research examines how an engineering SME might improve its ability to attract Gen Z talent by assessing generational expectations, organizational signals, and modern recruitment practices. Utilizing a qualitative case study technique, data were gathered via self-observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal three main barriers that reduce SME attractiveness to young candidates: limited employer visibility, inconsistent and unstructured recruitment procedures, and the absence of systematic pre-employment pathways. The study indicates that engineering SMEs provide several intrinsic advantages, including practical learning experiences, availability of mentors, collaborative work environments, and distinct correlations between effort and outcomes. These attributes assist in surmounting the challenges encountered by these firms. These attributes closely resemble those favored by Gen Z, however not always articulated well. The study presents a four-pillar model for attracting Gen Z talent, grounded on empirical evidence. The components consist of value-driven employer branding, multi-channel recruitment, digital communication synchronization, and structured pre-employment pathways. This technique offers a cost-efficient and practical solution for SMEs with limited HR resources. This study contributes to the body of literature on talent management by contextualizing the attractiveness of Generation Z within small-scale engineering environments. It provides SMEs with pragmatic guidance on cultivating enhanced and more sustainable talent streams immediately.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in supporting economic growth and employment in Indonesia, but still face various challenges, particularly in terms of managerial management and the use of digital technology. This study aims to analyze MSME development through digital managerial interventions based on Empowerment Theory, using a case study of VJ Homebake Bakery & Eatery located in Mojokerto City, East Java.

The analytical framework refers to Psychological Empowerment Theory, which emphasizes the cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions in the process of strengthening the capacity of business actors. The results of the study show that managerial digital interventions can improve digital literacy, confidence, and active participation of business owners in business management. In addition, increased business visibility and transaction efficiency have a positive impact on operational performance and customer engagement. These findings confirm that empowerment-based digital managerial interventions are an effective strategy in supporting the sustainability and competitiveness of MSMEs at the local level.
