Abstract

This study explores the lived experiences of mompreneurs, mothers who simultaneously manage households and run businesses in Makassar, Eastern Indonesia, with particular focus on how they manage digital human resources (HRM) while navigating the dilemmas of dual identity. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research draws on in-depth semi-structured interviews with 15–20 participants representing a range of digital and hybrid business models. Grounded in five theoretical frameworks women's entrepreneurship theory, work-life balance theory, digital HRM, employee engagement, and adaptive leadership the study reveals that mompreneurs develop creative, resource-constrained HRM practices driven by adaptive intelligence rather than formal systems. Two major themes emerge: (1) divergent HRM strategies across fully digital versus hybrid business models, and (2) persistent emotional tensions arising from dual identity as mothers and business leaders. The findings contribute empirically to debates on gender-responsive digital entrepreneurship in the Southeast Asian context and offer practical implications for local government policy, digital platform design, and peer community development in Eastern Indonesia.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates how culinary micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Makassar, Indonesia, learn, adopt, and integrate digital marketing strategies into their business operations. Drawing on an integrated theoretical framework combining the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Entrepreneurial Learning theory, the study examines three distinct business segments: traditional food stalls (warung), home-based MSMEs, and small cafes. Using purposive sampling with 15–20 informants, data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and participatory observation, and then analyzed thematically. Findings reveal that digital adoption is not a linear, rational decision but rather a dynamic journey driven by survival needs, pragmatic learning, and informal social networks. Key themes include experience-based digital learning, resource constraints, platform algorithm dependence, informal knowledge-sharing networks, and the emergence of hybrid marketing strategies. The study concludes with managerial implications offering practical, actionable guidance directly applicable to culinary business owners navigating the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates how informal financial practices shape the growth trajectories of micro and small enterprises in Makassar, Indonesia. Drawing on six months of ethnographic fieldwork, including participant observation and semi-structured interviews with 18 small business owners, the research examines three predominant forms of informal finance: rotating savings and credit associations (arisan), financing sourced from family and kinship networks, and the conduct of business through undocumented cash transactions. The Results reveal that these practices are not passive responses to exclusion from the formal financial sector but rather active, culturally grounded strategies that confer social agency, build economic resilience, and fulfill fundamental needs for belonging and security. Theoretically, the study contributes to the literature on the informal economy, behavioral finance, and social capital theory by demonstrating how trust, reciprocity, and community norms function as genuine economic infrastructure in contexts where formal institutions are either inaccessible or mistrusted. At the same time, the research identifies significant constraints embedded within these informal systems, particularly their tendency to limit business scalability, impede formalization, and reinforce existing social hierarchies. A comparative analysis situates Makassar within a broader Southeast Asian urban context alongside Jakarta, Manila, and Bangkok, revealing both shared drivers of informality and city-specific cultural adaptations. The study argues that effective financial inclusion strategies must engage with, rather than displace, existing social structures, and that policies designed to bridge formal and informal finance must be culturally sensitive and locally grounded.

Abstract

Environmental sustainability has become a strategic priority for organizations, increasing the importance of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) as a mechanism for fostering environmentally responsible employees. Although previous studies have demonstrated positive relationships between GHRM and environmental performance, limited research has explored how employees subjectively experience GHRM practices and how these experiences shape environmental awareness, particularly in the Indonesian context. This study aims to explore employees’ lived experiences of GHRM practices and their influence on environmental awareness within Indonesian organizations. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with twelve employees from the manufacturing, hospitality, and service sectors. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s reflexive thematic analysis. The findings revealed four interconnected themes: Environmental Awareness, Green Work Behavior, Organizational Support, and Sustainability Culture. Employees generally demonstrated strong environmental concern; however, many lacked a clear understanding of how organizational sustainability initiatives related to their specific job responsibilities. Leadership commitment, environmental infrastructure, and culturally embedded values emerged as key factors influencing environmental engagement. The study concludes that effective GHRM implementation requires more than formal environmental policies; it necessitates integrated systems that enhance employee capabilities, create participation opportunities, and align sustainability initiatives with employees’ cultural and ethical values. These findings contribute to the growing GHRM literature by providing a deeper understanding of the mechanisms through which environmental awareness is cultivated in developing-country workplaces.

Abstract

Toxic work environments remain a persistent organizational problem in Indonesia, particularly in sectors characterized by high emotional labor, close supervision, heavy customer interaction, and strong performance pressure. This narrative review examines whether the relationship between toxic work environment and psychological distress is a sufficiently recurrent phenomenon in Indonesian multisector organizations during 2024–2026, and whether Psychological Safety Theory provides an adequate explanation for that relationship. Using a purposive narrative review approach, the article synthesizes open-access evidence from Indonesian empirical studies and reviews published in 2024–2026 across contact center, manufacturing, education, and mixed-sector organizational settings. The reviewed literature consistently depicts toxic work environments as settings marked by poor communication, lack of support, interpersonal conflict, bullying, discrimination, unfairness, and psychologically unsafe leadership. Across the reviewed studies, toxic work conditions are associated with elevated work stress, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, depressive symptoms, reduced performance, and withdrawal cognition. The review finds that the toxic environment–distress link appears repeatedly across sectors rather than as an isolated sector-specific anomaly. Psychological Safety Theory explains this pattern by emphasizing that employees who do not feel safe to speak up, admit mistakes, ask for help, or express concerns allocate more cognitive and emotional energy to self-protection than to task performance. In such contexts, informal social control mechanisms—such as fear, blame, silence, and exclusion—amplify distress. The review concludes that, in Indonesia, Psychological Safety Theory remains a useful and empirically plausible lens for explaining how toxic work environments contribute to psychological distress, although current evidence is still fragmented and often uses distress proxies such as work stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. The article identifies research gaps and proposes directions for future empirical studies using multi-sector samples, longitudinal designs, and direct measurement of psychological safety and psychological distress.
