Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze factors influencing employee performance. The factors include identifying the impact of transformational leadership style and employee development on performance effectiveness. This research employed a quantitative method with regression analysis. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to employees. The research population consisted of 89 employees, and the sample was saturated (census). Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 26 and tested for validity, reliability, classical assumptions, multiple linear regression, and coefficient of determination. The results indicate that both transformational leadership style and employee development, both partially and simultaneously, have a positive and significant effect on employee performance effectiveness. The better the transformational leadership style and employee development, the more effective the employee performance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationships among service standards, work culture, and employee performance in customer satisfaction in public services. A quantitative associative approach was employed, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0 for data analysis. The study involved 70 institutions representing the entire population of service users. The results indicate that service standards and work culture have positive but not statistically significant effects on customer satisfaction, whereas employee performance has a positive, statistically significant effect. Simultaneously, service standards, work culture, and employee performance have a moderate positive influence on customer satisfaction. These findings imply that improving employee performance should be prioritized to enhance customer satisfaction. At the same time, service standards and work culture need to be strengthened through more effective implementation and organizational development strategies. Strengthening these aspects can support better service quality and increase overall user satisfaction in public services.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technology has transformed business practices among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), yet its impact on financial performance remains inconclusive. Despite increasing adoption of financial technology and e-commerce, many MSMEs continue to face financial sustainability challenges, as reflected in the rising non-performing loan ratio. This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of financial technology, e-commerce adoption, and entrepreneurial skills on the financial performance of MSMEs, incorporating financial literacy and trust as mediating variables. A quantitative approach was employed, using survey data collected from 200 MSME actors in West Java, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that financial technology and entrepreneurial skills have a positive and significant direct effect on financial performance. In contrast, e-commerce adoption does not directly influence performance but becomes significant when mediated by financial literacy and trust. Furthermore, both mediators strengthen the indirect effects of digital adoption and entrepreneurial capabilities on financial outcomes. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the critical role of cognitive and relational factors in enhancing the effectiveness of digital transformation among MSMEs.

Abstract

This study explores the mediating role of teachers' digital competence in the relationship between curriculum management and smart learning. Using a quantitative, correlational survey design, the study sampled 219 teachers from State Islamic Senior High Schools in Samarinda, selected via simple random sampling. Data were analysed using JASP V.0.16 for simple linear regression and mediation effects. The findings reveal positive and significant relationships between curriculum management and teachers' digital competence, curriculum management and smart learning, and teachers' digital competence and smart learning. Moreover, teachers' digital competence partially mediates the relationship between curriculum management and smart learning. These results highlight that effective curriculum management enhances teachers' readiness to utilise digital technology and directly contributes to the successful implementation of smart learning in madrasahs. This research provides insights into improving curriculum management practices to enhance digital competence and facilitate smart learning.

Abstract

This study examines how employee perceptions, trust, and risk influence technology adoption intentions through attitude, with digital readiness as a moderating variable in the workplace context of Institut Teknologi dan Bisnis Muhammadiyah (ITBM) Polewali Mandar. Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as a theoretical foundation, the research applies a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) on data collected from 195 employees. The findings reveal that employee perception, trust, and risk significantly influence both attitude and technology adoption intention, with attitude serving as a full mediator. Conversely, digital readiness does not significantly moderate the relationship between attitude and adoption intention, suggesting that technical capability alone does not enhance behavioral outcomes without psychological commitment. The study reinforces the importance of attitudinal and cognitive factors in driving digital transformation and provides practical implications for higher education management to strengthen trust, manage perceived risk, and cultivate positive perceptions to foster sustainable digital engagement among employees.
