Abstract

Despite the rapid development of financial technology (fintech), its adoption among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in archipelagic regions remains uneven due to differences in human resource capacity and digital readiness. This study analyzes the effect of human resource competence on fintech adoption among MSMEs in Maluku Province, with digital literacy as a mediating variable. The study employs a quantitative explanatory approach using primary data collected from 230 MSME actors through structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) to examine both direct and mediating relationships among variables. The results show that human resource competence has a positive and significant effect on digital literacy (β = 0.672; p < 0.001) and on fintech adoption (β = 0.429; p < 0.001). In addition, digital literacy has a positive and significant effect on fintech adoption (β = 0.512; p < 0.001) and partially mediates the relationship between human resource competence and fintech adoption. These findings indicate that digital literacy plays an important mechanism that enables human resource competencies to be translated into the utilization of digital financial technologies. Theoretically, this study extends the perspectives of Resource-Based View and Human Capital by demonstrating the mediating role of digital literacy in technology adoption among MSMEs. Practically, the results emphasize the importance of integrating human resource competence development with digital literacy enhancement to accelerate fintech adoption and support MSME digital transformation, particularly in archipelagic regions with limited digital infrastructure such as Maluku.

Abstract

Predictive analysis has become an essential component in modern financial research and practice, driven by the rapid advancement of data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. This study aims to systematically map the intellectual structure, research trends, and key contributions in the field of predictive analysis in finance through a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database covering publications from 2000 to 2026 and analyzed using VOSviewer to examine co-authorship networks, citation patterns, and keyword co-occurrence. The results reveal a significant growth in research output, particularly in recent years, reflecting the increasing importance of data-driven decision-making in finance. Co-authorship analysis indicates the presence of collaborative research clusters, although the field remains partially fragmented. Citation analysis highlights that the most influential studies are those integrating advanced computational methods with practical financial applications, such as credit scoring, bankruptcy prediction, and stock market forecasting. Furthermore, keyword analysis demonstrates a clear shift from traditional statistical techniques toward machine learning, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies such as blockchain and decentralized finance. This study contributes by providing a comprehensive overview of the evolution and current state of predictive analysis in finance, identifying key research themes and gaps. The findings suggest that future research should focus on enhancing model interpretability, integrating sustainability considerations, and expanding applications in real-time financial decision-making. Overall, this study serves as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners seeking to understand the trajectory and future direction of predictive analytics in the financial domain.

Abstract

This study aims to map the intellectual structure, development trends, and research dynamics of brand purpose through a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database covering the period 2000–2026 and analyzed using VOSviewer to generate co-authorship, country collaboration, citation, and keyword co-occurrence networks. The results indicate a significant increase in publications over the last decade, reflecting growing academic and practical interest in purpose-driven branding. The United States and China emerge as dominant contributors, with extensive international collaboration networks. Thematic analysis reveals that brand purpose research is strongly connected to social media, consumer behavior, and marketing, while also expanding into sustainability, ESG, and technological domains such as artificial intelligence. The overlay and density visualizations further demonstrate a shift from traditional branding constructs toward more dynamic, technology-driven, and ethically oriented themes. Despite this progress, the field remains moderately fragmented, with limited contributions from developing regions. This study contributes by providing a comprehensive overview of the evolution and structure of brand purpose research, identifying key trends, influential works, and future research opportunities. The findings offer valuable insights for both academics and practitioners seeking to understand and implement brand purpose strategies in an increasingly complex and socially conscious marketplace.
