Abstract

This study examines the determinants of green innovation and its impact on sustainable business performance among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the Bandung Raya region of Indonesia. Specifically, the study analyzes the influence of environmental knowledge and market pressure on green innovation, as well as the effect of green innovation on sustainable performance. A quantitative approach was employed using data from 150 MSMEs, and structural relationships were tested through multiple regression analysis. All measurement instruments demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha 0.89–0.95) and validity (corrected item–total correlation > 0.80). The results reveal that environmental knowledge has the strongest positive and significant effect on green innovation (β = 0.728; p < 0.001), indicating that MSMEs with greater environmental awareness are more likely to adopt eco-friendly innovations. Market pressure also significantly influences green innovation (β = 0.257; p < 0.001), demonstrating the role of consumer expectations, competition, and green product trends in shaping sustainable business practices. Furthermore, green innovation has a very strong and significant impact on sustainable business performance (β = 0.847; p < 0.001), suggesting that eco-friendly practices enhance cost efficiency, customer satisfaction, firm reputation, and environmental outcomes. Overall, the study highlights the importance of combining internal awareness with external pressures to foster green innovation and strengthen sustainability among MSMEs. The findings provide theoretical contributions to green innovation and sustainability frameworks, while offering practical implications for MSMEs, policymakers, and business support institutions.

Abstract

Public service delivery represents a central function of civil servants (ASNs) in realizing governmental objectives and fulfilling public needs. The increasing complexity of bureaucratic challenges not only requires administrative competence but also a devotion-based work culture and strong conflict management abilities. This study adopts an integrative literature review approach to synthesize research on the relationship between devotion-oriented work culture and conflict resolution competence among ASNs in public administration. Through thematic synthesis of empirical and conceptual studies, three primary themes emerge: (1) devotion as a moral dimension shaping civil service identity; (2) conflict resolution competence as an adaptive behavioral skill; and (3) integration of cultural and governance values for ethical performance. Findings reveal that devotion-oriented culture enhances civil servants’ problem-solving and ethical responsiveness, strengthening bureaucratic accountability and public trust. This paper contributes a conceptual framework linking work devotion, conflict competence, and public governance, providing implications for policy and administrative reform toward professional, responsive, and citizen-oriented public service.

Abstract

The transition toward sustainable energy systems requires the transformation of renewable energy marketing strategies, particularly for waste-based energy. This study aims to analyze the effects of green marketing, stakeholder collaboration, and technological innovation on the marketing effectiveness of waste-based energy, with customer satisfaction as an intervening variable. A quantitative approach with a survey design was used. Data were collected from 300 respondents, comprising consumers and stakeholders at PT PLN (Persero) ’s waste-based energy processing units. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. The results indicate that green marketing, stakeholder collaboration, and technological innovation significantly influence customer satisfaction and the effectiveness of marketing. Furthermore, customer satisfaction significantly mediates the relationship between independent variables and marketing effectiveness. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating sustainable marketing strategies, multi-stakeholder synergy, and innovative technologies to enhance the competitiveness of waste-based energy products in the market. This study contributes to the theoretical development of renewable energy marketing models and provides practical implications for policymaking and green energy marketing strategies in Indonesia.

Abstract

The digital transformation of public administration represents a critical pathway toward modernizing governance, enhancing service delivery, and improving transparency in Indonesian government agencies. This study examines the current state of digital transformation initiatives across various levels of government in Indonesia, identifying key challenges and opportunities in implementing digital technologies within bureaucratic structures. Through a convergent parallel mixed-methods design combining surveys of 245 government officials from 32 agencies and in-depth interviews with 28 digital transformation leaders, this research reveals that while Indonesian government agencies have made significant progress, substantial barriers remain including limited digital infrastructure in remote regions, resistance to organizational change, insufficient digital literacy among civil servants, and inadequate legal frameworks. The overall mean maturity score was 2.87 (SD = 0.74), placing the average agency in the 'developing' category, with only 6% reaching the 'optimizing' level. The study identifies critical success factors: strong leadership commitment (β = 0.38, p < 0.001), citizen-centric design, comprehensive change management, and effective public-private partnerships. Findings indicate that successful digital transformation requires not merely technological adoption but fundamental organizational restructuring and cultural shifts toward data-driven decision-making and collaborative governance. Policy recommendations address digital infrastructure investment, human capital development, governance reform, and shared platform utilization. This research contributes to theoretical understanding of digital government in developing nations and provides practical guidance for policymakers navigating the complexities of public sector digitalization.

Abstract

By examining how visual aesthetics play a crucial role in creating a hyperreal symbolic reality, this study critically investigates the creation and consumption of simulacra in the Instagram marketing of regional Indonesian fashion firms. This study shows that local brands actively create representational worlds that negotiate identity between claims of locality and global aesthetic standards, in addition to selling products, using an interpretative qualitative approach that combines netnography, visual semiotic analysis, and in-depth interviews with brand managers and consumers. According to the research, rigorous visual curation techniques result in what are known as ethical simulacra, in which ideals like sustainability and community support are reduced to beautiful pictures divorced from tangible behaviors. In addition to examining ethical conundrums in netnographic research within ambivalent digital settings, this analysis emphasizes the critical role that Instagram's algorithms play as non-human actors that influence aesthetic canons. By highlighting distinctive dynamics including self-exoticization tactics and modernity paradoxes that influence symbolic consumption patterns, this study theoretically advances Consumer Culture Theory and critical marketing by concentrating on the Indonesian setting. The study's findings suggest a more ethical and thoughtful approach to marketing when confronting the logic of digital hyperreality.

Abstract

The increasing competition in the healthcare industry requires hospitals to establish effective relationship strategies to enhance patient loyalty. This study aims to examine the effect of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) on patient loyalty, with brand salience and customer engagement behavior (CEB) as mediating variables. The research adopts a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from 155 outpatients at Cengkareng General Hospital (RSAR) who had experienced CRM-related services, using a structured questionnaire measured on a four-point Likert scale. The findings reveal that CRM has a significant positive effect on brand salience, customer engagement behavior, and patient loyalty. Among these relationships, CRM demonstrates the strongest influence on customer engagement behavior, indicating that relationship-based strategies effectively encourage active patient involvement. Furthermore, customer engagement behavior significantly affects patient loyalty, suggesting that patients who are more engaged—through feedback, recommendations, and participation—are more likely to develop stronger loyalty toward healthcare providers. In contrast, brand salience does not have a significant effect on patient loyalty, indicating that brand awareness alone is insufficient to drive loyalty in the healthcare context. Mediation analysis shows that customer engagement behavior partially mediates the relationship between CRM and patient loyalty, whereas brand salience does not act as a mediator. These results suggest that CRM enhances patient loyalty not only directly but also indirectly through strengthening engagement behavior. This study contributes to healthcare marketing literature by integrating relationship marketing and customer engagement perspectives, highlighting engagement as a more critical mechanism than brand salience in fostering sustainable patient loyalty.

Abstract

The management of essential drug inventory is a strategic component of hospital pharmaceutical services because it directly influences service continuity, cost efficiency, and the overall quality of healthcare delivery. Poor inventory control can result in excessive stock accumulation, increased risk of drug expiration, inefficient budget utilization, and potential drug shortages that may compromise patient care. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of essential drug inventory control at Pekerja General Hospital by applying the ABC-VEN, Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), and Reorder Point (ROP) methods. It also examines differences in inventory management efficiency between 2024 and 2025 based on inventory value, cost of goods sold (COGS), and Inventory Turnover Ratio (ITOR). A mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design was used. Quantitative analysis involved a paired sample t-test comparing inventory data from 2024–2025, while qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically using NVivo. The findings reveal a significant improvement in inventory management in 2025 (p < 0.05), reflected in reduced inventory value and COGS, along with an increased ITOR. However, the implementation of ABC-VEN, EOQ, and ROP methods has not been fully integrated, and challenges such as limited human resources and procurement bureaucracy persist.In conclusion, although inventory control became more efficient in 2025, further integration of inventory methods and strengthening of human resource capacity are necessary to ensure sustainable improvements.

Abstract

Consumer behavior has changed as a result of the growth of social media and digital communication; consumers now look for information before making selections about what to buy, including mineral water goods. The growing influence of electronic word-of-mouth and the significance of brand image in shaping customer purchasing decisions are characteristics of this phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to examine how brand image and electronic word-of-mouth affect Bandar Lampung consumers' decisions to buy Aqua items. This study employs a survey method in conjunction with a quantitative approach. Purposive sampling was used to choose a sample of 150 Aqua customers in Bandar Lampung who completed questionnaires that were used to gather data. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the data with the use of SPSS 27 software. The findings demonstrate that brand image and electronic word-of-mouth have a favorable and substantial impact on Bandar Lampung consumers' decisions to buy Aqua items. Additionally, brand image has a greater impact on purchase decisions than electronic word-of-mouth, suggesting that brand image has a greater influence on customer choices.
