Abstract

Entrepreneurial intention (EI) among university students has become an increasingly important topic in entrepreneurship studies, particularly in developing economies where youth unemployment poses major challenges. Although earlier works have acknowledged the roles of career readiness and resilience in shaping EI, the mediating influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) has received less systematic attention. This study investigates how career readiness and resilience contribute to EI, with ESE positioned as a mediating construct.Survey data were obtained from 200 undergraduate students in Indonesia who were not enrolled in business programs. The dataset was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4. Measurement model assessment indicated strong reliability and convergent validity, while discriminant validity was confirmed using the Fornell–Larcker criterion and HTMT ratios. Structural model results revealed that career readiness exerts a significant effect on EI (β = 0.633, p < 0.001), both directly and indirectly through ESE. Likewise, resilience significantly predicted EI (β = 0.123, p < 0.01) and had a strong effect on ESE (β = 0.521, p < 0.001), which subsequently enhanced EI (β = 0.411, p < 0.001). Altogether, the model accounted for 82.3% of the variance in EI, demonstrating high explanatory power.The findings emphasize the crucial mediating role of ESE as a psychological channel through which career readiness and resilience translate into entrepreneurial motivation. This study adds to entrepreneurship research by linking psychological capital and career preparedness to entrepreneurial intention. From a practical standpoint, universities are encouraged to develop programs that foster resilience, strengthen career readiness, and build entrepreneurial self-efficacy, thereby equipping students not only to enter the labor market but also to create employment opportunities.

Abstract

Quality of life among Nigerian youths has continued to be an issue of concern due to the state of the country's economic situations. Studies have examined quality of life among youths using different factors with varied results. Therefore, this study investigated social network and demographic factors on quality of life among youths in Ibadan, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while a simple random sampling method was used to select five Local Government Areas in Ibadan Greater Municipality (IGM). Data were collected from 355 participants using validated scales and analyzed using multiple regression analysis and independent samples t-test statistics. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p =.001 level of significance. The result revealed that social networks significantly influence quality of life among youths in IGM [t (353) =5.60, p =.001]. The result further showed that demographic factors of age, gender and educational status jointly predicted quality of life among youths in IGM [R2 =. 062, F(3, 350) = 4.578, p = .001]. However, it was only educational status that independently predicted quality of life among study participants (β = -234, t= -4.478, p =.001). It is concluded that social networks and demographic factors of educational status are strong contributors to quality of life among youths in IGM. The study recommended that government and other stakeholders should empower youths with skills and career plans to improve their quality of life.

Abstract

The development of information technology, especially the internet, has driven a significant transformation in buying and selling activities. Business actors now do not only rely on physical stores (offline), but also utilize digital media to promote and sell products online. This change has an impact on the structure of business income, including at CV. Global Best LS which implements both models. Differences in terms of market reach, patterns of interaction with consumers, and cost efficiency between online and offline methods raise questions about the extent to which each is effective in increasing income. Based on this, this study aims to examine in more depth the comparison of online and offline business income within the framework of sharia economics. The purpose of this study is to analyze the comparison of income between online and offline buying and selling businesses at CV.

This study is based on sharia economic theory, especially in the context of buying and selling (al-bai'), which emphasizes the principles of honesty, justice, and blessings in every transaction. In addition, this study also refers to the approach of consumer behavior theory and marketing strategies in digital business to support comparative analysis of business income between online and offline buying and selling models. The method used is descriptive qualitative research, with a case study approach at CV. Global Best LS. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed narratively to obtain a factual picture of the income from the two buying and selling methods run. The results of the study show that online buying and selling businesses generate higher income compared to offline businesses, due to wider market reach, operational efficiency, and digitalization trends. Meanwhile, offline businesses have the advantage of building consumer trust through direct interaction, although constrained by high operational costs. Both of these buying and selling methods have implemented the principles of Islamic economics in general, although improvements are still needed in terms of financial recording and transaction transparency.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of e-marketing strategies by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Medan, focusing on the food and beverage sector. The development of technology, particularly social media and other digital platforms, has provided opportunities for MSMEs to develop efficient and affordable marketing strategies. The research method employed in this study is descriptive qualitative, with primary data collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and direct observations, as well as secondary data obtained from the literature and official sources. The results show that the majority of MSME entrepreneurs in Medan have utilized social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, messaging applications such as WhatsApp, and online marketplaces such as Shopee to promote their products. The use of social media has proven to be effective in increasing product visibility at a lower cost than traditional marketing. However, some MSMEs are yet to optimize the use of marketplaces and food delivery applications because of the limited understanding of digital technology. The success of e-marketing implementation depends heavily on the technological readiness and capability of MSME entrepreneurs to leverage digital platforms. This study suggests the need to enhance digital literacy and provide technical training to MSME entrepreneurs to maximize the potential of digital marketing, thereby improving their competitiveness and marketing performance.
