Abstract

Street food vendors (Pedagang Kaki Lima/PKL) are an essential part of Indonesia’s informal economy, contributing significantly to employment while facing vulnerability and limited institutional support. This study aims to analyze how the integration of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with the Pay What You Want (PWYW) pricing model can strengthen the economic and social sustainability of PKL in Surabaya. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from 25 participants, including vendors, consumers, donor communities, individual donors, and government representatives, through focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document reviews, then analyzed thematically with NVivo. The findings reveal that PWYW increases consumer engagement and builds trust-based relationships, while CSR provides crucial support through training, capital assistance, and community education. Nevertheless, challenges remain in terms of income uncertainty and insufficient regulatory frameworks. The study highlights that multi-stakeholder collaboration among CSR actors, government, donors, and PKL is essential for sustaining the model. Theoretically, this research introduces the integration of CSR and PWYW as a hybrid social innovation in the informal economy, while practically, it offers strategic insights to strengthen microenterprise resilience and contribute to inclusive economic development

Abstract

Millennial entrepreneurs' dependence on digital technology risks causing technostress, which can interfere with their mental health, productivity, and the quality of their business decisions. This study aims to identify, analyse, and synthesise the phenomenon of technostress among millennial entrepreneurs, focusing on the psychological, social, and individual performance impacts in the context of digital entrepreneurship. In an era of ever-evolving technology, technostress has become a major challenge for millennial entrepreneurs who are highly dependent on technology in running their businesses. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology by collecting Scopus-indexed articles published from 2023 to 2025 that are relevant to the topic of technostress among the millennial population. A total of 46 selected scopus articles were analysed using a thematic analysis approach to identify the causal factors, psychological impacts, and coping strategies used by millennial entrepreneurs. The results showed that technostress among millennial entrepreneurs is influenced by factors such as always-on technology, information overload, and the complexity of rapidly developing technology. The main psychological impacts that arise are anxiety, stress, digital fatigue, and decreased sleep quality, which affect well-being and business performance. However, coping strategies such as mindfulness, setting technology boundaries, and social support have been proven effective in reducing the impact of technostress. The novelty of this research lies in the development of propositions linking technostress to the dynamics of millennial entrepreneurship, as well as the importance of digital readiness and digital performance measurement in mitigating its negative impacts. The practical implications of this research suggest that millennial entrepreneurs implement holistic and personalised coping strategies and obtain relevant social support to maintain their well-being and business sustainability. This research also contributes theoretically by expanding the understanding of the relationship between technostress and digital entrepreneurship, as well as opening up directions for more comprehensive and contextual future research.

Abstract

Digital transformation research lacks theoretical coherence while practitioners experience high failure rates, questioning the field's knowledge completeness. Given digital transformation's nature as a resource-driven process, this study assesses whether decade-long research has addressed all essential elements defined by resource-based theory. We constructed a conceptual blueprint incorporating resource-based theory's core principles, drawn from theoretical critiques, empirical validations, and extensions, to evaluate research comprehensiveness. Using systematic literature review and keyword analysis across 46 studies (2012-2024), we mapped digital transformation scholarship against our blueprint. Results show substantial coverage of environmental contexts and resource domains, yet reveal a critical gap in digital resource orchestration. Examination of 42 empirical studies confirms zero attention to orchestration concepts, highlighting knowledge deficiencies that may explain transformation failures. To address this limitation, we introduce a digital resources orchestration framework integrating resource-based and dynamic capabilities theories across two dimensions: content (aligning digital assets with transformation phase requirements) and mechanism (adaptive coordination via multi-organizational layers). This framework offers a holistic resource-based perspective on digital transformation, providing structured ontological mapping to direct future research toward resolving fundamental challenges and improving transformation outcomes.

Abstract

School events play a vital role in strengthening institutional identity, stakeholder engagement, and the overall educational experience. However, many higher education institutions lack systematic, evidence-based approaches for evaluating these events and translating feedback into sustained improvement. This study evaluates a school graduation ceremony at the City College of Calamba to inform strategic and data-driven institutional event management practices. Using a convergent parallel mixed-methods evaluative approach, the study collected data from 274 stakeholders through a structured survey and open-ended responses to assess satisfaction across key dimensions of event planning and execution. Overall satisfaction levels were high, with mean scores ranging from 3.44 to 3.64 on a four-point Likert scale, indicating generally positive stakeholder perceptions. Technical and production quality received the highest rating (M = 3.64), while registration and rehearsal processes received the lowest (M = 3.44), highlighting specific areas for managerial improvement. No statistically significant differences in satisfaction were found across age, role, or department (p > 0.05), suggesting consistent event experiences across stakeholder groups. Based on these findings, the study proposes a Strategic Event Management Framework and corresponding Action Plan that translates evaluation results into concrete institutional management strategies. By reframing school events from isolated celebrations into strategically managed organizational activities, the framework supports continuous improvement, quality assurance, and institutional accountability. The study contributes to educational and institutional management literature by demonstrating how quantitative satisfaction indicators and qualitative feedback can be integrated to guide evidence-based decision-making in higher education event management.
