Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of village head leadership and apparatus competence on the accountability of village fund management, with technology utilization as a mediating variable, in the customary villages (kampung adat) of Jayapura City, Papua, Indonesia. The study is motivated by the rising allocation of village funds, which has not been matched by a commensurate level of accountability, as indicated by a report from the Indonesian Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP, 2022) and several cases of fund misuse in Jayapura City. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed. The sample consisted of 100 respondents drawn from 10 customary villages, each represented by 10 respondents (village head, treasurer, secretary, bamuskamp, technical implementers, and community members). Data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS with a bootstrapping procedure of 3,000 resamples. The results show that village head leadership and apparatus competence have a positive and significant effect on both technology utilization and the accountability of village fund management. Technology utilization positively affects accountability. Technology utilization also positively and significantly mediates the effects of leadership and apparatus competence on accountability, with variance accounted for (VAF) values of 36.8% and 37.2%, respectively, indicating partial mediation. The model explains 70.7% of the variance in village fund management accountability. These findings underscore the importance of synergy among leadership, competence, and digitalization in strengthening public-sector financial accountability at the village level, particularly in culturally distinctive regions such as Papua.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the effect of job autonomy on professional commitment, the effect of job autonomy on job engagement, the effect of professional commitment on job engagement, and the mediating role of professional commitment in the effect of job autonomy on the job engagement of employees at the Class II Harbormaster and Port Authority Office (KSOP) of Jayapura. The research employed an explanatory design with a quantitative approach grounded in the Job Demands–Resources model. The population, which also served as the sample, comprised all 67 civil servants, selected through a census (saturated sampling) technique. Data were collected through a 1–5 Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS. The results show that job autonomy has a positive and significant effect on professional commitment (path 0.915; p 0.000); job autonomy has a positive and significant effect on job engagement (path 0.769; p 0.000); professional commitment has a positive and significant effect on job engagement (path 0.231; p 0.000); and job autonomy has a positive and significant effect on job engagement through the mediation of professional commitment (path 0.210; p 0.000), categorized as moderate mediation (upsilon v = 0.0447). The model demonstrates relevant predictive value (Q² = 0.9943). These findings confirm that increasing job autonomy as a job resource should be directed toward strengthening professional commitment in order to enhance employee job engagement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy, social media, and self-control on Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) behavior in Generation Z students. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. The research sample consisted of 77 respondents who were students of the Management Study Program, Faculty of Economics and Business, Cenderawasih University. Data were analyzed through validity tests, reliability tests, descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, partial tests, simultaneous tests, and coefficient of determination. The results showed that social media had a positive and significant effect on FoMO (B = 0.765; t = 4.283; Sig. = 0.000). Financial literacy did not have a significant effect on FoMO (B = 0.037; t = 0.119; Sig. = 0.906), while self-control had a negative but insignificant relationship (B = -0.277; t = -1.416; Sig. = 0.161). Simultaneously, financial literacy, social media, and self-control significantly influence FoMO (F = 7.426; Sig. = 0.000) with an R Square value of 0.234. These results indicate that 23.4% of FoMO variation can be explained by the three independent variables, while the rest is influenced by other factors outside the model. This study confirms that social media is the main determinant in the formation of FoMO in Generation Z students, while financial literacy and self-control have not shown a significant partial influence.

Abstract

This study examines how digital financial inclusion influences sustainable financial practices through cognitive financial framing among coastal MSMEs in Maluku. Although access to digital financial services has expanded significantly, many MSMEs still struggle to translate this access into disciplined and long-term financial behavior. This research adopts a quantitative explanatory approach using data from 342 respondents and analyzes the relationships using SEM-PLS. The findings reveal that digital financial inclusion has a significant positive effect on cognitive financial framing, which in turn strongly influences sustainable financial practices. While digital financial inclusion also directly affects financial behavior, its impact is weaker compared to the indirect effect through cognitive mechanisms. These results indicate that access alone is insufficient to drive behavioral change without adequate cognitive capacity in managing financial resources. The study highlights the importance of integrating behavioral finance perspectives, particularly the Behavioral Life-Cycle Hypothesis, to explain how financial decisions are shaped over time. The findings provide both theoretical and practical implications for designing more effective financial inclusion policies.

Abstract

Tourism is widely acknowledged as a catalyst for economic development and social progress, while also serving as a strategic instrument to strengthen food security and support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Within this scope, agro-tourism plays a critical role in connecting tourism with agricultural sustainability, providing benefits for local communities, rural economies, and environmentally responsible consumption. This study investigates the extent to which destination image and digital promotion influence visiting decisions at Big Farmer, an agro-tourism site in West Bandung, with particular attention to Generation Z as the dominant respondent group. Grounded in consumer behavior and sustainable tourism theories, the study applied a quantitative research design, using a structured questionnaire distributed to 99 respondents. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, validity and reliability testing, as well as multiple regression through SPSS 25. Results confirm that both destination image and digital promotion significantly and positively impact visiting decisions, while Generation Z demonstrated strong responsiveness to authentic digital narratives emphasizing local food identity, cultural heritage, and sustainable practices. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing destination branding and interactive digital strategies as tools not only to improve tourism competitiveness but also to reinforce community-based food systems. The study concludes that tourism stakeholders and policymakers should prioritize digital innovation and agricultural integration in tourism promotion, ensuring that agro-tourism contributes to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).

Abstract

This study examines the barriers and strategies associated with digital transformation (DT) adoption among small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Despite the growing importance of digital technologies in enhancing competitiveness and resilience, many SMEs remain at early stages of digital maturity. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research integrates quantitative data from 450 SMEs across developed, emerging, and transitional economies with qualitative insights from case studies and expert interviews. The findings reveal that internal barriers, particularly financial constraints and digital skill gaps, are the most significant impediments to DT adoption, followed by organizational inertia and external challenges such as regulatory complexity and infrastructure limitations. The results further demonstrate that targeted strategies, including government subsidies, upskilling programs, and public-private partnerships, significantly improve digital adoption levels and firm performance. Notably, SMEs that successfully implement DT strategies experience higher revenue growth and enhanced operational efficiency. By extending the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework and Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory, this study highlights the importance of integrated and context-specific interventions. The research offers practical and policy-relevant implications for SME stakeholders, emphasizing the need for coordinated efforts to bridge the digital divide and foster inclusive digital transformation.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between digital infrastructure, human capital, and entrepreneurial ecosystem development in South Korea between 2000 and 2024. Using longitudinal macroeconomic and technological indicators obtained primarily from the World Bank World Development Indicators database, the research analyzes how digitalization and technological modernization contributed to the transformation of South Korea from a manufacturing-oriented economy into a highly innovation-driven entrepreneurial ecosystem. The empirical analysis combines descriptive longitudinal analysis, correlation analysis, and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression models to evaluate the association between digital infrastructure variables and economic performance. The findings indicate substantial long-term improvements in internet diffusion, broadband infrastructure, secure digital systems, and human capital development. Regression results reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between internet penetration and GDP growth, supporting existing literature on digital entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems. Although broadband infrastructure displayed diminishing marginal effects within the regression model, the overall evidence suggests that digital modernization and knowledge-intensive development played important roles in strengthening entrepreneurial competitiveness. The study contributes to entrepreneurship and digital economy literature by providing empirical evidence on the structural determinants of innovation-driven entrepreneurial transformation in South Korea.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Domestic Investment (DI), and remittances on per capita income in Indonesia. The study uses panel data from 34 provinces in Indonesia during the 2013–2023 period obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), Bank Indonesia, and the Ministry of Investment/BKPM. The analytical method used is panel data regression with the assistance of EViews 10 software. Model selection was conducted through the Chow test, Hausman test, and Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test, resulting in the Common Effect Model (CEM) as the best model. The results indicate that partially, FDI, DI, and remittances do not have a significant effect on per capita income in Indonesia. Simultaneously, FDI, DI, and remittances also do not significantly affect per capita income. The adjusted R-square value of 0.44% indicates that variations in per capita income are largely influenced by other variables outside the research model. Therefore, the increase in per capita income in Indonesia is not only influenced by investment and remittances, but also by other factors such as human resource quality, infrastructure, and government expenditure.
