Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of digital financial literacy and economic stress on household financial management quality, with self-control as an intervening variable. This research adopts a quantitative approach using Partial Least Square–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to household respondents and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results indicate that digital financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on household financial management quality and self-control. In contrast, economic stress does not have a significant effect on either self-control or household financial management quality. Furthermore, self-control does not mediate the relationship between digital financial literacy and economic stress on household financial management quality. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing digital financial literacy to improve household financial management in the digital era.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) face increasing pressure to adapt to digital transformation and e-commerce in order to enhance marketing performance; however, their implementation is often constrained by limited technological utilization and low levels of consumer trust. This study aims to analyze the role of consumer trust as a mediating variable in the relationship between digital transformation, e-commerce adoption, and the marketing performance of MSMEs. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey of MSME actors in Semarang City to collect data on technology usage, consumer trust levels, and marketing performance outcomes. The results indicate that digital transformation and e-commerce adoption have a positive effect on marketing performance, while consumer trust significantly strengthens this relationship as an intervening variable. The study concludes that the success of MSME digitalization is highly dependent on the ability to build consumer trust; therefore, digital marketing strategies should prioritize enhancing credibility and improving customer experience.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the synergy of humanistic and transformational leadership in building adaptability and digital competence of civil servants in the era of digital transformation. The research uses a narrative literature review approach by analyzing various literature from leading academic databases. The findings indicate that humanistic leadership creates a psychological foundation through empathy, respect for individual dignity, and psychological safety that facilitates civil servants to adapt to change without fear of failure. Meanwhile, transformational leadership acts as a catalyst by providing inspirational vision, intellectual stimulation, and motivation to master digital competencies. The synergy of these two leadership styles creates a holistic development ecosystem: humanistic leadership provides psychological safety to take learning risks, while transformational leadership provides energy and direction for continuous innovation. The theoretical implications of this research enrich the treasury of leadership theory in the context of public bureaucracy by identifying the complementary mechanisms of both leadership styles. Practical implications provide guidance for agency leaders to integrate humanistic values and transformational approaches in HR development programs to prepare civil servants who are resilient, adaptive, and digitally competent in facing the challenges of technological disruption and increasingly complex public service demands in the Society 5.0 era.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of immersive commerce and augmented reality (AR) on consumer trust in e-commerce transactions using secondary industry data from the BrandXR 2025 Research on Augmented Reality in Retail & E-Commerce. Quantitative data was analyzed descriptively to evaluate the adoption rate of immersive technologies (immersive commerce and AR) and their relationship with consumer trust perceptions. The results show that immersive commerce, characterized by interactive and realistic user experiences, has a positive impact on consumer trust. Similarly, AR which offers realistic product visualization, has a significant impact on strengthening consumer trust in purchasing decisions. Simultaneously, the integration of immersive commerce and AR enhance the digital shopping experience, which can reduce risk perception and increase trust in online transactions. These findings empirically contribute to the literature on digital consumer behavior and e-commerce strategies, and suggest that businesses adopt immersive technologies to increase consumer trust and engagement in the online commerce ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Digital Financial Literacy and Organizational Culture on Employee Performance with Financial Information Systems as a mediating variable in Kodam IV/Diponegoro. Using an explanatory quantitative approach, data was collected through a survey of TNI and civil servant personnel who handle financial administration (purposive sampling) and analyzed using SmartPLS. The test results show that Digital Financial Literacy has a positive and significant effect directly on employee performance. On the other hand, Organizational Culture does not have a significant direct effect on performance, but has been proven to have a positive and significant impact on the effectiveness of the Financial Information System. The key findings of this study confirm the strategic position of the Financial Information System which functions as a full mediator for the Organizational Culture in improving performance, as well as being the strongest determinant factor. The implications of this study suggest a priority on strengthening the reliability of the system and the digital  competence of personnel in order to realize transparent and accountable defense governance.

Abstract

Higher education management at the master's level currently faces urgent challenges, namely learning fatigue and low engagement among professional students, especially in Prior Learning Recognition (RPL) classes. Currently, lecturers still tend to apply conventional learning methods based on static presentations that fail to accommodate andragogical characteristics due to a lack of dynamic interaction. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the “Humanistic Digital Andragogy” approach through the integration of gamification (Kahoot) and visual thinking (Whimsical) in the Strategic Human Resource Management course. The researchers used a descriptive qualitative design with thematic analysis and collected data through feedback from students in the Master of Management Program (Semarang and Sorong classes). The results revealed that technology served as a double catalyst: Whimsical visualization effectively reduced the cognitive load of complex strategy material, while competition in Kahoot triggered positive adrenaline (eustress) that increased attention. These findings confirm that the success of technology is highly dependent on the role of lecturers as humanistic facilitators (high-touch). This synergy has been proven to change students' perceptions of HRM from merely administrative to strategic partners, as well as creating learning satisfaction that is relevant to the world of work.
