Abstract

Digital transformation has become an essential strategy for improving the competitiveness of traditional market traders amid the rapid development of digital technology. However, its adoption among traditional market traders remains limited, reducing their ability to exploit business opportunities and sustain competitive advantage. This study aims to analyze the effect of digital transformation on sustainable competitive advantage through the mediating role of digital transformation opportunity among traditional market traders in Denpasar City. This research employed a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The sample consisted of 100 traditional market traders selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale. The variables examined were Digital Transformation as the independent variable, Digital Transformation Opportunity as the mediating variable, and Sustainable Competitive Advantage as the dependent variable. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The findings reveal that Digital Transformation has a positive and significant effect on Digital Transformation Opportunity (β = 0.476; t = 5.856; p < 0.001). Furthermore, Digital Transformation Opportunity has a positive and significant effect on Sustainable Competitive Advantage (β = 0.584; t = 9.275; p < 0.001). The mediation analysis confirms that Digital Transformation Opportunity significantly mediates the relationship between Digital Transformation and Sustainable Competitive Advantage (β = 0.278; t = 4.056; p< 0.001). These findings indicate that successful digital transformation enhances sustainable competitive advantage by expanding market access, improving operational efficiency, strengthening customer relationships, and increasing business adaptability among traditional market traders. Keywords: Digital Transformation, Digital Transformation Opportunity, Sustainable Competitive Advantage, Traditional Market Traders, PLS-SEM.

Abstract

The gap between vocational high school or Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) curricula and the complex workflow demands of the 3D animation industry spanning Pre-Production, Production, and Post-Production stages remains a significant challenge in vocational education within the Animation concentration in Indonesia. This article aims to map the readiness of SMKs in implementing 3D animation industry workflow standards into classroom learning, examined through three aspects: Human Resource (HR) readiness, infrastructure readiness, and curriculum readiness. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using a library research method, thematically analyzing findings from recent national and international scholarly publications, primarily published between 2020 and 2025, supplemented by selected foundational literature. The findings indicate that HR readiness is constrained by uneven teacher competency specialization and limited coverage of national competency certification; infrastructure readiness faces a budgetary dilemma between high-specification rendering hardware and the choice between commercial and open-source software; while curriculum readiness shows considerable potential through Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and cross-divisional Teaching Factory (TeFa) approaches, although implementation remains partial and has yet to fully replicate the collaborative work scheme of professional studios. This study concludes that SMK readiness for the 3D animation industry workflow is at a transitional stage, requiring strengthened HR certification, a phased infrastructure investment roadmap, and reinforced cross-divisional collaborative work schemes through partnerships with the business and industry sector or Dunia Usaha dan Dunia Industri (DUDI).

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has increased the need for traditional market traders to adopt digital practices in order to remain competitive. However, many traders still experience barriers to digital transformation, such as limited digital literacy, inadequate infrastructure, high implementation costs, insufficient training, technological complexity, and security concerns. These barriers may discourage digital technology adoption and reduce the ability of traders to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, this study examines the effect of Digital Transformation Barriers on Sustainable Competitive Advantage through the mediating role of Digital Technology Adoption among traditional market traders in Bali. A quantitative approach with an associative research design was employed. Data were collected from 200 traditional market traders using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. The research model consists of Digital Transformation Barriers (X) as the independent variable, Digital Technology Adoption (Z) as the mediating variable, and Sustainable Competitive Advantage (Y) as the dependent variable. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The findings indicate that Digital Transformation Barriers have a negative and significant effect on Digital Technology Adoption (β = −0.483; t = 8.463; p < 0.001). Meanwhile, Digital Technology Adoption positively and significantly affects Sustainable Competitive Advantage (β = 0.640; t = 15.611; p < 0.001). Furthermore, Digital Technology Adoption significantly mediates the relationship between Digital Transformation Barriers and Sustainable Competitive Advantage (β = −0.309; t = 6.364; p < 0.001). These findings emphasize that reducing digital transformation barriers is essential for increasing digital technology adoption and strengthening the long-term competitiveness of traditional market traders in Bali. Keywords: Digital Transformation Barriers, Digital Technology Adoption, Sustainable Competitive Advantage, Traditional Market Traders, PLS-SEM.

Abstract

This research assesses the potential for deeper integration between the Republic of Moldova and Romania by distinguishing political reunification from the wider processes of functional integration, Europeanization, and geopolitical realignment. It employs a qualitative explanatory case study and document analysis of academic literature, policy documents, institutional records, and the evidence assembled in the original research paper. The analysis uses three geopolitical lenses: classical-material geopolitics, critical geopolitics, and geoeconomics. The findings show that historical, linguistic, citizenship, social, infrastructural, and economic linkages create substantial integration capacity, yet these linkages do not automatically generate a democratic mandate for state unification. Moldova's EU accession process provides the most institutionally credible pathway for convergence because it reduces regulatory, economic, and administrative distance without requiring immediate territorial absorption. At the same time, Transnistria, Gagauzia, Russian influence, Moldova's constitutional neutrality, differences in political identity, and the fiscal costs of institutional convergence remain major constraints. Romania's position inside the EU and NATO strengthens its role as Moldova's principal Western gateway, especially in energy security, infrastructure, and policy transfer. The research concludes that gradual functional and EU-mediated integration is more feasible than rapid legal reunification, while formal union remains contingent on democratic consent, territorial settlement, minority guarantees, security stabilization, and sustained institutional convergence.

Abstract

Public space utilization may change according to time, activity, and user behavior. This study aimed to identify the activity and spatial use patterns of the Jalan Ahmad Yani Corridor in Pangkalpinang, particularly the development of informal social and economic activities during the evening. A qualitative approach was applied using place-centered behavior mapping. Data were collected through direct observation on weekdays and weekends during the morning, afternoon, evening, and night periods. The observed activities were analyzed descriptively and spatially to identify their distribution, intensity, and concentration along the corridor. The results show that activities are not evenly distributed and vary according to time. During the morning and afternoon, activities tend to follow the existing functions of buildings and routine corridor use. During the late afternoon and evening hours, activities appeared to be more concentrated at specific locations, particularly in the central section of the corridor. The spatial use pattern indicates that these locations are repeatedly used rather than randomly distributed. Supporting interviews with vendors and visitors indicate that established vending points tend to be maintained over time, while visitors tend to return to locations they already recognize. These findings indicate that Jalan Ahmad Yani Corridor has developed beyond its circulation function into a space for informal social and economic activities through repeated everyday use.

Abstract

Indonesia’s transition toward digital tax administration has increased the importance of understanding how users experience public digital services. This study examines sentiment patterns and reported barriers in 820 Google Play reviews of the Coretax Mobile application posted during the January–April 2026 tax-filing period. Reviews were processed using a deterministic text-preprocessing procedure and analyzed through rating-derived sentiment classification, machine-learning models, and Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic modeling. Negative reviews dominated the dataset (93.9%), with a mean rating of 1.25 out of 5. Among the four classifiers, the Support Vector Machine achieved the highest macro-F1 score (0.4377), although its accuracy (0.9463) was only slightly higher than the majority-class baseline (0.9390), indicating limited performance under severe class imbalance. Topic modeling identified three recurring complaint themes: application malfunctions and recurrent failures (31.3%), account access and registration difficulties (36.2%), and tax-reporting and payment complexity (32.5%). These patterns suggest that user difficulties are concentrated not in a single stage of service delivery but across access, system reliability, and task completion. The findings support prioritizing user-centered redesign, technical reliability, and accessible user assistance, while remaining limited to self-selected Google Play reviewers rather than the broader population of Coretax users.

Abstract

The increasing consumption of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) has become a major public health concern, particularly in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) undergoing rapid nutritional transitions. While previous studies have primarily focused on urban populations, limited research has examined how structural determinants influence Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) consumption among adolescents in rural communities experiencing economic transformation. This study explores the determinants of adolescent UPF consumption in Gunung Kawi Village, East Java, Indonesia, using H.L. Blum's Determinants of Health Framework integrated with the Commercial Determinants of Health (CDoH). A qualitative descriptive design was employed, involving in-depth interviews with adolescents, parents, healthcare workers, and food vendors, complemented by field observations. Data were analyzed thematically according to Blum's four determinants: environmental, lifestyle, health service, and biological determinants. The findings reveal that the local food environment has been transformed by tourism development and commercial expansion, increasing adolescents' exposure to UPFs. Lifestyle behaviors were shaped by convenience and affordability, and household dietary practices normalized UPF consumption within families. Health services continue to prioritize maternal and child health and provide limited nutrition education targeting adolescent dietary behaviors. The study also identified an affordability trap, whereby economic and time constraints encourage households to rely on inexpensive, processed foods. By integrating Blum's Determinants of Health with the Commercial Determinants of Health, this study demonstrates that adolescent UPF consumption is driven by interacting structural and behavioral determinants rather than individual food choices alone. These findings highlight the need for multisectoral interventions that improve rural food environments, strengthen nutrition education, and support healthier household food practices during Indonesia's ongoing nutrition transition.

Abstract

Digital payment has become the transactional substrate of contemporary consumer markets; however, it remains unclear whether the scholarship on digital payment users has matured into marketing literature or has remained adoption literature. This study maps the intellectual and conceptual structure of this scholarship through a bibliometric analysis of 1,408 journal articles published in 547 Scopus-indexed sources between 2015 and 2025, retrieved through the Crossref open-metadata layer and screened against the Scopus source list. Performance analysis, Bradford and Lotka modelling, co-word network analysis, and Callon strategic diagramming were combined to characterize growth, concentration, collaboration, and thematic structure. Output grew at 27.6% per year and accumulated 40,025 citations, but the conceptual structure is markedly asymmetric: 47.3% of articles engage pre-adoption belief constructs, whereas only 27.4% address post-adoption relational outcomes and 23.1% address marketing-mix or strategy constructs. Segmentation appears in 0.6% of articles and brand constructs in 1.6%. Five thematic clusters were recovered, of which the acceptance-belief cluster is the most internally developed and the relationship-marketing cluster the least. Therefore, the field is theoretically narrow, methodologically monocultural, and geographically concentrated. A seven-strand research agenda is proposed to reposition digital payment scholarship as marketing research.

Abstract

Palm oil processing is a continuous safety-critical operation in which the output quality depends on the coordinated conduct of shift-based production, maintenance, and laboratory personnel. This study examines the partial and simultaneous effects of leadership, organizational commitment, and work culture on employee performance at PT Karya Serasi Jaya Abadi (KSJA), a Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) mill in Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatra. Using Slovin's formula, 86 respondents were drawn from a population of 109 permanent employees, and the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression after instrument validation and classical assumption testing. All four scales demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (α = .710–.790). The model was highly significant, F(3, 82) = 132.01, p < .001, explaining 83.4% of the variance in performance (adjusted R² = .827). All three predictors were significant: leadership, β = .353, t(82) = 3.94, p < .001; organizational commitment, β = .349, t(82) = 2.84, p = .006; and work culture, β = .256, t(82) = 2.21, p = .030. Decomposition of the explained variance, however, shows that the three predictors uniquely account for only 5.7 percentage points of the 83.4% explained, with the remaining 77.7 points shared among them; tolerance values as low as .139 and variance inflation factors up to 7.21 confirm substantial multicollinearity. Therefore, this study advances a convergent climate interpretation: the three constructs behave less as distinct antecedents than as facets of a single managerial climate. The implications for construct specification and measurement practice are discussed.

Abstract

Indonesian bureaucratic reform has made the individual performance of civil servants a central policy concern, yet empirical evidence on which work-related resources actually move performance in small district-level agencies remains thin. This study examines the partial and simultaneous effects of work–life balance, work motivation, and the work environment on employee performance at the Fisheries Agency of Asahan Regency, North Sumatra. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey was administered to the entire population of 32 civil servants using saturated sampling, and the data were analysed with multiple linear regression in SPSS 24 after establishing instrument validity, internal consistency, and compliance with the classical linear model assumptions. The estimated model was statistically significant, F(3, 28) = 6.02, p = .003, and explained 39.2% of the variance in performance (adjusted R² = .327). Work–life balance was the only significant unique predictor, B = 0.378, SE = 0.123, β = .507, t(28) = 3.07, p = .005, uniquely accounting for approximately 20.5% of performance variance. Neither work motivation, p = .534, nor the work environment, p = .318, contributed significantly once work–life balance was controlled. The findings position work–life balance as a personal resource that survives statistical competition with two variables that dominate Indonesian human resource management research, and suggest that in a small, tenured, rule-governed public office, motivation and physical work conditions operate as hygiene conditions rather than as drivers that differentiate performance. Implications for flexible-work policy and workload design in local government are discussed.
