Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the gap between work expectations and actual workplace realities from the perspective of young Indonesian workers in the offshore oil and gas industry, focusing on how such discrepancies affect job satisfaction, psychological well-being, and organizational loyalty. Research Methodology: An exploratory qualitative approach was employed, involving semi-structured in-depth interviews with 15 offshore workers aged 22–35, located in Natuna and the Java Sea. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis framework, which enabled systematic identification of recurring themes related to expectations, psychological stress, and retention. Results: Findings reveal that young workers’ expectations are shaped by media portrayals and institutional narratives that glamorize offshore work. However, the realities long shifts, isolation, and psychological strain often lead to disillusionment. Many participants experienced cognitive dissonance, reduced job satisfaction, and a strong intention to resign. The study also uncovered a psychological entrapment phenomenon, where workers remained not out of satisfaction but due to a lack of viable alternatives. Conclusions: The Expectation-Disconfirmation Theory and Psychological Contract Theory effectively explain the disconnect between expectations and job experiences. In offshore contexts, misalignment can significantly impact worker loyalty and mental health. Limitations: The study is limited in sample size (15 participants) and geographic scope (Natuna and Java Sea). It also lacks managerial or HR perspectives, restricting organizational-level analysis. Contribution: This study offers practical implications for HR management in high-risk industries, emphasizing realistic recruitment, mental preparedness, and integrated psychological support. It also contributes novel insights into the concept of psychological entrapment in early-career professionals.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines key determinants of employee performance in Indonesia’s maritime sector, focusing on ship crews. It analyzes training, work motivation, transformational leadership, and organizational culture to understand their roles in enhancing crew effectiveness, discipline, and overall productivity. Research Methodology: This study used a descriptive qualitative method with the SALSA framework to review 30 peer-reviewed articles published in the past eight years. Theoretical triangulation involved applying Human Capital Theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Bass’s Transformational Leadership, and Hofstede’s Organizational Culture Framework. Results: The findings reveal that training improves job competence, work quality, and accountability; motivation enhances commitment and timeliness; transformational leadership fosters trust, innovation, and responsibility; and organizational culture strengthens discipline, teamwork, and loyalty. Each variable positively influences employee performance in the maritime context. Conclusions: Investments in human resource factors particularly training, motivation, leadership, and organizational culture are crucial for enhancing the performance of maritime personnel. These factors serve as strategic levers to improve safety, operational efficiency, and service quality in the shipping industry. Limitations: The study is limited to secondary data from literature published in English and Bahasa Indonesia, lacks empirical field validation, and does not explore the interaction effects among the variables. Contribution: This study contributes conceptually by offering a synthesized framework linking human resource variables to maritime performance, thereby guiding future empirical research and managerial interventions in crew development and organizational transformation.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the strategic role of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices training and development, performance management, and organizational innovation in improving transportation performance and safety in Indonesia, while examining the moderating effect of employee welfare amid growing digital transformation and rising safety standard demands. Methodology: A quantitative approach was employed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from 360 respondents working in the land transportation sector across Indonesia through structured questionnaires. Results: The findings confirm that training and development, as well as performance management, significantly influence both organizational innovation and transportation safety. Organizational innovation also positively affects transportation performance, which in turn enhances safety. However, the moderating effect of employee welfare on the innovation–performance relationship was found to be statistically insignifican. Conclusions: High-quality HRM practices in training and performance management enhance operational performance and safety in Indonesia’s transportation sector. However, innovation’s full benefits require stronger welfare systems and integrated safety training, performance tracking, and inclusive innovation within HR strategies for workforce resilience. Limitations: This study finds employee welfare has not significantly moderated transportation performance through innovation. Most welfare initiatives remain basic and unaligned with strategic agendas, revealing a gap between employee well-being and organizational goals that may hinder long-term innovation sustainability. Contribution: This study validates the impact of training and performance management on transportation innovation and safety in developing countries, offering a framework for aligning HR strategies with digitalization and safety goals while emphasizing welfare policies that actively support innovation and performance excellence.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of work-life balance (WLB) on the productivity of working mothers who have children with special needs in Kupang City, Indonesia. Methodology: Using an explanatory quantitative approach with PLS-SEM analysis. Data were collected from a random sample of working mothers in the area and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0 software. Results: WLB significantly contributes to increased work productivity, with a path coefficient (?) of 0.728 and an R² value of 0.530, indicating that more than half of the productivity variation can be explained by WLB. The main supporting factors for WLB include family support, flexible organizational policies, and effective stress management. Conclusions: The study confirms that productivity success heavily depends on a holistically managed work-life balance through adaptive policies and social support. The additional pressure from the responsibility of having children with special needs requires a support system to prevent productivity decline, highlighting the importance of managing role conflicts and emotional exhaustion. Limitations: This study is limited by its cross-sectional design, localized sample in Kupang City, and reliance on self-reported data. It does not explore qualitative aspects or moderating factors such as job type, support systems, or the severity of the child’s condition, which may influence the results. Contribution: Enriches the human resource management and industrial psychology literature with empirical contextual insights from Indonesia and offers practical recommendations for organizations and policymakers to support working mothers with children who have special needs.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how e-service quality and perceived value influence customer loyalty on Agoda, with e-trust and customer satisfaction as mediators. Although prior studies link high service quality to strong loyalty, Agoda shows otherwise, revealing a gap addressed through an integrated loyalty model. Methodology: The research adopts a quantitative approach using purposive sampling. A total of 384 respondents of Agoda users in Indonesia were surveyed through an online questionnaire. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0 and supplemented by Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA). Results: The results reveal that e-service quality has the most substantial total effect on customer loyalty, surpassing perceived value. However, its low performance score positions it as a critical area for improvement. Both e-trust and customer satisfaction significantly mediate the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Conclusions: Based on the problem formulation, hypotheses, results, and discussion, it can be concluded that e-service quality and perceived value influence customer loyalty on the Agoda application through e-trust and customer satisfaction as mediating variables. Limitations: This study is limited to users of the Agoda platform in Indonesia, which may reduce its generalizability to other countries or OTAs. The study provides actionable insights for OTA platforms, particularly Agoda, in designing strategies to improve loyalty through digital service enhancement and value optimization. Contribution: This study uniquely investigates the mediating role of e-trust and customer satisfaction in the Agoda context, where loyalty issues persist despite positive service perception, an area previously underexplored in OTA research. Novelty: This study highlights a novel approach by examining the mediating roles of e-trust and customer satisfaction in the relationship between e-service quality and perceived value on customer loyalty in the context of Agoda.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between job satisfaction, mental health, motivation, stress management, and performance of MSME actors engaged in the Tangkahan ecotourism sector. The main focus of this study is to understand what psychological factors and working conditions contribute the most to improving the performance of MSMEs in the sector. Methodology/approach: This study involved 117 MSME participants from university and government training programs. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) and supported by field observations to validate and strengthen the obtained quantitative finding. Results/findings: The study found that job satisfaction and mental health positively and significantly affect MSME performance, while motivation shows no significant impact. Psychological conditions and work environment play greater roles. Stress management indirectly enhances performance by improving mental health, despite its insignificant direct effect on performance. Conclusion: This study concludes that psychological well-being and job satisfaction are key factors in improving the performance of MSME actors in the ecotourism sector. Therefore, it is important for stakeholders to create a mentally supportive work environment and implement effective stress management strategies to optimize the productivity of MSMEs. Limitations: This study has limitations in the geographical scope and characteristics of the respondents, which only includes MSME actors in the Tangkahan ecotourism area. Therefore, the results of this study cannot be generalized to other MSME regions or sectors. Contribution: This study contributes to MSME empowerment policy by emphasizing mental health and job satisfaction improvement. The findings guide universities, governments, and institutions in designing effective interventions to enhance MSME actors’ productivity and overall performance.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine how electronic word of mouth (eWOM) specifically information quality, quantity, and credibility influences purchase intention and customer loyalty among IndiHome subscribers in West Java. Additionally, it tests whether happiness moderates the relationship between purchase intention and loyalty. Methodology: The research employed a quantitative, cross-sectional design using stratified random sampling of 257 IndiHome subscribers across multiple municipalities in West Java. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate measurement validity, reliability, mediation, and moderation effects. Results/findings: Findings show that information quality and quantity significantly increase purchase intention, while credibility has no direct effect. Purchase intention strongly predicts loyalty. Quantity and credibility indirectly affect loyalty through intention, whereas quality does not. Happiness moderates intention–loyalty, strengthening the conversion of intention into sustained customer loyalty. Conclusion: The study concludes that clear and abundant eWOM cues are effective in shaping purchase intention, which serves as a key determinant of loyalty. Positive affect in the form of happiness amplifies this relationship, highlighting the importance of both cognitive and emotional drivers in loyalty formation. Limitations: The cross-sectional design limits causal inference, and reliance on self-reported measures may introduce bias. The provincial focus on West Java may also restrict generalizability. Contribution: This research extends eWOM theory by integrating informational attributes with affective moderation, offering both theoretical insights and managerial implications. Broadband providers are advised to improve information clarity, posting frequency, and service experiences that enhance customer happiness to foster sustainable loyalty.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify and propose an entrepreneurship and new business management model relevant for cultivating future industry leaders. The research emphasizes comparative insights into regional entrepreneurial ecosystems, focusing on Bandung Raya and Tasikmalaya Raya, to highlight strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for balanced regional development. Methodology: The study adopts a quantitative and comparative design, analyzing survey data from 76 respondents representing multiple sectors. Using descriptive statistics and ecosystem benchmarking, the research evaluates six domains of the entrepreneurial ecosystem finance, policy, culture, support, human capital, and market access to assess regional variations and strategic needsl. Results The collected data show that Bandung excels in entrepreneurial culture (84.20%), regulatory policy (81.25%), workforce (78.98%), and market access (85.23%), while Tasikmalaya Raya leads in ecosystem support (84.38%) but faces challenges in access to finance (71.25%) and markets (68.13%). Conclusions: The results confirm that entrepreneurial ecosystem disparities significantly affect business sustainability. Bandung’s mature ecosystem offers competitive advantages, while Tasikmalaya’s strong social support is insufficient to compensate for structural gaps in finance and human capital. Limitations: The study is limited to two regions in West Java, restricting generalizability. It also relies on self-reported survey data, which may introduce bias. Contribution: Therefore, enhancement strategies are required, including strengthening financial access, improving human resource quality, as well as digitalization and market expansion for entrepreneurs in Tasikmalaya Raya. With these measures, the entrepreneurial ecosystems in both regions can develop more evenly and contribute to overall regional economic growth.
