Abstract

This study aims to find out and analyze the effect of compensation on employee performance through work motivation as an intervening variable in PT. Anugrah Energitama Award. The sample used in this study is employees of PT. Anugrah Energitama Award with a sample of 120 employees. The problem in this study is motivated by the importance of compensation as an external factor that can encourage motivation and improve employee performance. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data was obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to employees of PT. Anugrah Energitama Award and analyzed using SmartPLS-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique. The results of the study show that compensation has a positive and significant effect on work motivation, as well as a direct effect on employee performance. Work motivation also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. In addition, work motivation has been shown to play a role as a partial intervening variable in the relationship between compensation and employee performance. This means that compensation not only has a direct effect, but also indirectly through increased work motivation. This finding provides the implication that the management of PT. Anugerah Energitama needs to continue to improve a fair and competitive compensation system in order to foster work motivation and encourage the achievement of optimal employee performance.

Abstract

This phenomenological study explores how women entrepreneurs in Makassar’s beauty and wellness sector strategically leverage Word-of-Mouth (WOM) marketing as a relational economic mechanism for customer acquisition and retention. Anchored in a humanistic-economic perspective, the research examines how trust, emotional labor, and social capital function as non-financial assets that substitute for capital-intensive marketing strategies in resource-constrained contexts. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) on semi-structured interviews with salon owners, beauticians, and spa entrepreneurs, three superordinate themes emerged: (1) Trust as the Primary Economic Currency, emphasizing integrity and competence as foundations of customer advocacy; (2) Emotional Labor as Strategic Investment, highlighting empathy and personalized care as deliberate economic resources; and (3) The Social Network as Market Infrastructure, illustrating how localized community ties and digital interactions form efficient, low-cost distribution channels for business growth. The findings reveal that WOM in this sector is not merely a promotional outcome but a relational economic system rooted in cultural trust, affective commitment, and collective reciprocity. The study contributes to the literature by advancing a humanistic-economic framework for relational marketing, demonstrating how feminine entrepreneurship transforms social and emotional capital into measurable economic value.

Abstract

While start-ups are often celebrated as agile and egalitarian spaces that disrupt traditional hierarchies, women leaders within them continue to navigate gendered expectations, institutional ambiguities, and cultural constraints—particularly in emerging entrepreneurial ecosystems of the Global South. Drawing on in-depth phenomenological interviews with 10–12 women leading start-up teams across technology, creative, and service sectors in Makassar, Indonesia, this study explores how these leaders construct, enact, and sustain leadership amidst intersecting global norms and local socio-cultural logics. Findings reveal that participants engage in continuous relational labor to assert legitimacy, craft hybrid leadership models that blend strategic agency with communal care, and reinterpret domestic roles as both resources and constraints. Rather than conforming to dominant masculine entrepreneurial archetypes, they mobilize narrative, empathy, and ethical stewardship to build team cohesion and organizational identity. This research contributes to transnational feminist scholarship by centering the lived experience of women in Southeast Asian start-ups, challenging universalist assumptions in entrepreneurship theory, and highlighting the need for culturally grounded, gender-responsive support ecosystems.

Abstract

This phenomenological study examines how women micro-entrepreneurs in Makassar’s informal economy construct and exercise financial agency amid persistent economic precarity. Grounded in a humanistic economic perspective, the research explores how women navigate financial risk and uncertainty through informal strategies, social capital, and adaptive resilience. Drawing on in-depth interviews, three superordinate themes emerged: (1) The Dual Nature of Social Capital, revealing that trust-based financial networks function simultaneously as safety nets and sources of moral burden; (2) Financial Improvisation as Agency, illustrating how women deploy creative financial practices—such as flexible budgeting and strategic concealment of profits—to retain control and autonomy; and (3) The Temporal Duality of Resilience, emphasizing the continuous oscillation between short-term survival priorities and long-term aspirations in an unstable market context. The findings demonstrate that financial decision-making in Makassar’s informal sector transcends conventional economic rationality, instead reflecting socially embedded, context-specific negotiations of agency and dependence. The study contributes theoretically to the discourse on women’s entrepreneurship by reframing financial agency as an evolving, relational process rooted in everyday resilience rather than formal inclusion. Policy implications highlight the need for human-centered interventions that recognize and strengthen women’s adaptive financial practices, mitigate the hidden costs of social capital, and support sustainable microenterprise growth in Indonesia’s informal economy.

Abstract

This study explores how the indigenous values of Siri’ (dignity, honor) and Pacce (compassion, shared feeling) shape human resource management (HRM) practices among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Makassar, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study design, the research examines leadership as a cultural-economic institution in which moral commitments guide organizational behavior, employee motivation, and firm resilience. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving ten MSME leaders in the trade, culinary, and craft sectors. Thematic analysis revealed that Siri’ informed dignity-preserving disciplinary practices and accountability norms, while Pacce manifested through mutual aid systems and empathetic management. Decision-making was consensus-oriented, integrating hierarchical authority with community deliberation. These practices produced positive HRM outcomes such as job satisfaction, loyalty, and ethical reputation, yet also imposed financial and emotional strains due to the moral obligation to preserve collective welfare. The findings suggest that Siri’ na Pacce-based leadership functions as a moral economy that substitutes social capital and emotional intelligence for formal control systems. This culturally grounded model enhances organizational legitimacy and sustainability but requires careful balancing between moral duty and economic pragmatism. The study contributes to humanist economic theory by demonstrating how local wisdom can inform dignity-centered, relational HRM systems in developing contexts.
