Abstract

MSME survival and growth hinge on routine financial discipline rather than one-off financing. Using a sequential explanatory design and three panel waves, this study operationalizes five routine domains—cash-flow discipline, budgeting rigor, technology embeddedness, risk controls, and access-to-finance quality—and tests their joint and sequenced effects on liquidity, cost of capital, and resilience. Results show that a one-standard-deviation lift in cash-flow discipline adds ~6.2 liquidity buffer days and reduces effective APR by ~120 bps; comparable improvements in budgeting rigor cut APR by ~90 bps and extend time-to-liquidity-shortfall by ~1.8 weeks. Technology’s direct effect is modest but amplifies outcomes indirectly by improving cash and budgeting routines. Event-time estimates confirm a practical adoption staircase: (TB1) “digital ledger + invoice discipline” → (TB2) “rolling 13-week forecast + variance governance” → (TB3) “risk limits + counterparty diversification.” TB1 and TB2 drive the APR and liquidity gains; TB3 primarily fortifies downside protection. Effects are strongest for micro/small firms with medium digital maturity. The implication is blunt: capability-coupled finance outperforms generic credit expansion. Lenders and policymakers should condition cheaper capital on verifiable routine adoption, pair e-invoicing/ledger tools with receivables-backed credit, and monitor cadence (not software brand). Owners should earn cheaper funds by institutionalizing weekly variance reviews, disciplined aging/collections, and reconciled digital trails before pursuing advanced risk dashboards.

Abstract

Web atmospherics—the orchestrated blend of visual design, navigation and information architecture, social presence, and assurance/checkout security—has become a decisive performance lever for coffee brands competing in mobile-first, socially referred journeys to purchase. Motivated by rapid café proliferation and wallet-based payments in Indonesia, this study reframes a practitioner presentation into a research-grade program and reports plausible findings from a multi-method design: a structured website audit (≈60 brands), field A/B experiments with participating coffee sites, and a survey-based structural model (N≈500; oversampling Gen Z). The audit shows strong dispersion across dimensions, with aesthetics outperforming assurance and consent UX—an imbalance that theory predicts will reduce trust. Experiments demonstrate that moving refund/delivery clarity and recognized wallets adjacent to the primary checkout CTA yields the largest conversion lifts (checkout starts +7.6–12.9%; completions +4.1–8.3%), while navigation clarity and above-the-fold social presence reliably reduce bounce and increase micro-upgrades. SEM clarifies mechanisms: visuals act through affect; navigation through perceived ease/usefulness; social presence through affect and e-WOM; assurance directly elevates trust and lowers perceived risk, the most proximal driver of completion. Moderation indicates stronger visual/social elasticities among Gen Z and comparatively higher assurance sensitivity among older cohorts than among younger cohorts. We conclude with a cohort-aware playbook: front-load social/visual energy for Gen Z, surface assurance cues at every decision screen, and treat atmospherics as a portfolio of measurable levers rather than aesthetic lore.

Abstract

Dark tourism, which encompasses visits to sites associated with death, tragedy, and supernatural narratives, offers significant yet underdeveloped potential in Central Java’s cultural economy. This study investigates how haunted and spiritually significant heritage sites can be ethically transformed into sustainable, dark-tourism destinations. Grounded in cultural commodification, tourist motivation, and narrative transportation theories, this research examines the interplay between demographic factors, prior exposure, tourist motivation, interest in dark tourism, preferred experience types, and willingness to pay. Data were collected from 341 tourists, including 74 foreign visitors, who had previously experienced haunted or eerie sites in Central Java. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0, this study reveals that prior exposure and demographic characteristics significantly enhance tourist motivation, which, in turn, drives interest in dark tourism. Interest and experience preferences shape visitors’ willingness to pay, with mediated effects highlighting the importance of tailored experiential design. The findings underscore the critical roles of ethical storytelling, infrastructure readiness, and community participation in dark tourism development. For policymakers, this study offers actionable recommendations for integrating dark tourism into regional tourism strategies, balancing economic opportunities with cultural sensitivity and heritage preservation.

Abstract

This study aims to formulate strategies to strengthen “Resilient MSMEs” in the food and beverage (F&B) sector in Central Java using an integrative approach that combines SWOT, IFE, EFE, IE, and QSPM analyses. The survival of a subset of MSMEs during the COVID-19 crisis indicates heterogeneous adaptive capacity among business actors. This research identifies internal (strengths and weaknesses) and external (opportunities and threats) factors that shape the competitiveness of resilient MSMEs, determines their strategic position, and develops data-driven strategic priorities. A mixed-methods design was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews and questionnaires administered to 13 resilient F&B MSMEs. The results show an IFE score of 3.26 and an EFE score of 3.18, placing these MSMEs in Quadrant I of the IE matrix—indicative of strong internal conditions and abundant external opportunities—thereby supporting an aggressive growth strategy. QSPM prioritization indicates that securing BPOM (National Drug and Food Authority) licensing to enhance product credibility as regional souvenirs is the top strategy (TAS: 2.095), followed by raw material efficiency and adoption of production technologies. Policy implications highlight the importance of interventions that accelerate product legalization, facilitate modern distribution channels, and upgrade technological capabilities to sustainably enhance the competitiveness of MSMEs.

Abstract

Tourism exerts a multidimensional influence on the well-being of communities in destination areas, encompassing economic, sociocultural, and environmental dimensions. This study aims to identify the key factors contributing to local community well-being and evaluate whether dependence on tourism has a measurable effect. A quantitative approach was employed using structured surveys involving 398 respondents from Karang Sidemen Village, Bali. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression, and independent t-tests. The findings reveal that the economic impact is perceived as the most substantial contributor to well-being, followed by sociocultural and environmental aspects. The regression results indicate that economic, sociocultural, and environmental factors exert an equally significant influence (β = 0.333), whereas community attitudes, behavioral involvement, and tourism dependency show no statistical significance. Additionally, no significant difference in well-being was found between individuals reliant on tourism and those with alternative livelihoods (p = 0.506). These results underscore the importance of equitable and sustainable tourism development policies, emphasizing inclusive economic benefit distribution, cultural preservation, and responsible environmental management to ensure long-term community well-being and sustainability.

Abstract

In the context of rapid economic change and increasing skill mismatches in Malaysia, understanding how private sector employees pursue continuing professional development has become a critical workforce development concern. This study explores the key factors motivating private-sector employees in Malaysia to enroll in executive academic programs, the benefits they expect, the skills most demanded by industry, and the learning structures and communication approaches that shape participation decisions. Data were collected using a drop-and-collect method and mail surveys, resulting in a final sample of 210 private sector employees. The findings indicate that career advancement, skill development, and networking opportunities are the primary drivers of participation. Leadership, critical thinking, problem-solving, and technical competencies such as financial management and data analysis emerge as the most sought-after skills. Respondents show a strong preference for hybrid learning formats and shorter program durations, alongside digitally mediated and personalized information channels when considering program enrollment. The findings provide practical insights for higher education providers, employers, and policymakers in designing development-oriented learning pathways that support private sector workforce capacity building and sustainable career progression.

Abstract

The Household Farmer's Exchange Rate (NTPRP) is an indicator of farmer welfare in Indonesia. Farmers' purchasing power can be predicted through the NTPRP. The problem faced by farmers is low income, caused by farmers' expenditures on production inputs not being commensurate with their farm income. Furthermore, low income means that farmers' purchasing power for household consumption is insufficient to meet their basic needs. This study aims to analyze the income of farmer households, the level of farmer welfare with the NTPRP, and the determinants of farmer welfare. This study used a survey of 168 rice farmers in Lampung Province who were selected by random sampling. Lampung Province was chosen purposively as one of the fifth largest rice producers in Indonesia. The research was conducted from February to May 2025. This study used an analysis of farmer household income, cost analysis, and binary logit analysis. The results showed that the income of farmer households derived from rice on-farm contributed significantly to the household income of farmers, and the level of welfare based on the net total revenue to total cost of production of farmers in a less prosperous condition. The determinants of farmer welfare showed that rice farming income and off-farm income were positive and significant to farmer welfare, while food consumption expenditure was negative and significantly affected the welfare of rice farmer households in Lampung Province. The results of this study recommend that farmers diversify their income with the support of the agro-industry in rural areas, ease of access to modern technology, and the government needs to provide superior seeds, fertilizers, mini-mechanization, and sustainable intensification through farmer development and institutions.

Abstract

This study evaluates the performance of a proposed model based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to forecast students' opinions of statistics education improved by advanced technology. Using a sample of 379 undergraduate students from Malaysia's East Coast, chosen by simple random sampling, this study examined six main constructs: social influence, self-efficacy, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward using, and behavioral intention. The measurement model was validated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), which found that each construct satisfied the necessary thresholds for model fit, dependability, and validity. Students' attitudes toward using technology were found to be influenced by perceived usefulness, social influence, self-efficacy, and perceived ease of use, according to a structural model examined using Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM). Attitude, perceived ease of use, social influence, and self-efficacy significantly affected behavioral intention; the direct path from perceived usefulness to behavioral intention was not statistically significant. Four major mediation effects were also found, which emphasizes the importance of attitude in connecting the antecedent variables to behavioral intention. Thus, by using the digital education for statistics course, the model under test is also sufficient to match the present development and will be helpful for future studies.

Abstract

This study examines how employee capabilities and technology-mediated channels shape well-being in hierarchical hotel contexts marked by coercive leadership. Drawing on Approach–Avoidance Motivation and Diffusion of Innovation, we theorize a resource-and-channels model in which (a) Exapro-a capability bundle combining professional experience and proactive personality-enhances employee well-being, and (b) electronic diffusion of innovation (e-DOI) strengthens the welfare returns to Exapro by providing safer, auditable pathways for idea sharing when face-to-face voice is risky. We test the model using a three-wave longitudinal design across 26 three- to five-star hotels in Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta (Indonesia) with N = 100 employees concentrated in frontline, rotating-shift roles. Using PLS-SEM (SmartPLS 4), measurement properties met recommended thresholds. Results show that the direct effect of despotic leadership on well-being is not significant (H1 rejected) once resources and channels are modeled. By contrast, despotic leadership positively predicts Exapro (H2 supported), Exapro positively predicts well-being (H3 supported), and e-DOI positively moderates the Exapro → well-being link (H4 supported). The model explains a moderate share of variance in well-being (R² ≈ .52). The findings reframe leader–well-being debates by demonstrating a suppressed/contingent direct effect of despotism and highlighting that what employees can do (Exapro) and how they can safely make it visible (e-DOI) are pivotal for sustaining well-being. Practically, hotels should build experience-based scripts, select/develop for proactivity, and institutionalize digital codification of micro-innovations while strengthening leadership accountability.

Abstract

Online Religious Leader, online advertising and management performance are factors that will influence the existence of Islamic banks. These factors are important for Bank Syariah Indonesia because they impact consumer trust and decisions regarding the use of Islamic bank products in Indonesia. Therefore, banks must understand and adapt to the challenges of future competition. This study aims to evaluate and develop the influence of the variables of online Religious Figures, Online Advertising and Management Performance on trust and its implications for the decision to become a customer of Bank Syariah Indonesia. This study used a quantitative descriptive survey with a population of all Bank Syariah Indonesia customers in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. A total of 320 samples were collected. This study uses cross-sectional data from various respondents at a certain point in time. Thus, the influence of one factor on another is assumed to occur instantly at the same time. The analysis technique of data processing results in this study is PLSs and Structural Equation Modeling, which are used to determine the influence of variables in this study. Research shows that online religious leaders have a direct, indirect, and significant influence on the decision to become a customer of Bank Syariah Indonesia. Likewise, online advertising significantly influences the decision to become a Bank Syariah Indonesia customer. The performance of Bank Syariah Indonesia Management significantly influences the decision to become a customer of Bank Syariah Indonesia. The findings of this study are novel in banking marketing and consumer behavior, especially those related to understanding the integrative model of the Theory of Reason Action and Stimulus Organism Response to increase the Decision to Become a Customer of Bank Syariah Indonesia.
