Abstract

This study aims to examine the mediating role of product innovation in the relationship between market orientation and competitive advantage among Indonesian culinary sector Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). A quantitative research design was employed using survey data collected from 200 MSME owners and managers. The measurement instrument utilized a five-point Likert scale, and data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results indicate that market orientation has a significant positive effect on product innovation and competitive advantage. Product innovation also shows a strong and significant influence on competitive advantage, highlighting its role as a key strategic capability in the culinary industry. Furthermore, mediation analysis confirms that product innovation partially mediates the relationship between market orientation and competitive advantage, suggesting that the ability to transform market insights into innovative products strengthens business competitiveness. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating customer focus, competitor awareness, and innovation strategies to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. This study contributes to the literature on strategic entrepreneurship and MSME competitiveness by providing empirical evidence from the Indonesian culinary sector and offers practical implications for business owners and policymakers in promoting innovation-driven development.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital startups in Greater Jakarta has intensified the need for effective human resource strategies that support both employee well-being and organizational performance. This study aims to examine the relationships between work–life balance, employee well-being, and organizational performance using a quantitative approach. Data were collected from 150 employees working in digital startup environments through a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, including descriptive statistics, reliability testing, classical assumption tests, and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that work–life balance has a significant positive effect on employee well-being, while both work–life balance and employee well-being significantly influence organizational performance. Employee well-being also acts as an important mechanism that strengthens organizational outcomes by enhancing motivation, emotional stability, and engagement. The findings highlight the strategic role of flexible work practices and supportive organizational culture in sustaining productivity within fast-paced digital startup contexts. This study contributes to the organizational behavior literature by providing empirical evidence from emerging digital economies and offers practical insights for startup leaders in designing human-centered workplace policies that promote sustainable performance.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in supporting economic growth, employment creation, and poverty reduction in developing countries. Despite their importance, the rapidly growing body of literature on MSMEs has produced a fragmented research landscape that requires systematic mapping to understand its development and emerging directions. This study aims to analyze the landscape of MSME research in developing countries using a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database and analyzed using bibliometric techniques and visualization tools, particularly VOSviewer, to identify publication trends, collaboration networks, and dominant research themes. The results reveal that MSME research has developed into a multidisciplinary field connecting themes such as entrepreneurship, innovation, financial inclusion, sustainability, and digital transformation. Collaboration network analysis shows that several authors and institutions act as key connectors in the research network, while countries such as India and Indonesia emerge as major contributors to global MSME research. Keyword co-occurrence and overlay analyses indicate that earlier studies primarily focused on entrepreneurship and innovation, whereas more recent research emphasizes digital transformation, technology adoption, and sustainable development goals. These findings demonstrate that MSME research is evolving toward addressing contemporary challenges related to digitalization and sustainable economic development. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the intellectual structure and development trends of MSME research and offers insights for future research directions in the field.
