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.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-regulation and wages on work motivation with psychological well-being (PWB) as a mediator variable in Indonesian construction interns in Saitama, Japan. The background is based on the adaptation challenges and work pressures faced by migrant workers, while higher wages are the main attraction. This study examines whether self-regulation and financial compensation can improve work motivation, either directly or through improved psychological well-being. The research uses an explanatory quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires from 205 respondents selected by purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Square (PLS) through SmartPLS 4.0 software to test the direct and indirect relationships between variables. The results of the study show that all hypotheses are accepted. Self-regulation and wages have a positive and significant effect on psychological well-being (H1 & H2) as well as on direct work motivation (H3 & H4). Psychological well-being has also been shown to have a significant positive effect on work motivation (H5). Furthermore, psychological well-being acts as a partial mediator in the indirect relationship between self-regulation (H6) and wages (H7) to work motivation. This means that increased self-regulation and wages not only directly boost work motivation, but also significantly strengthen it through improved psychological well-being. In conclusion, the work motivation of Indonesian construction interns in Japan can be improved by developing self-regulation skills, establishing a decent and fair wage system, and specifically prioritizing programs that support their psychological well-being. This research contributes to the development of cross-cultural human resource management theory and practical implications for intern companies and program organizers.

Abstract

This study explores how mompreneurs in Makassar manage digital human resources while balancing their roles as mothers and business leaders. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15–20 mompreneurs operating fully digital and hybrid businesses. The findings reveal that participants rely on adaptive and resource-efficient HRM practices rather than formal management systems. Two major themes emerged. First, digital and hybrid business models require different HRM strategies, with digital businesses emphasizing flexibility and project-based collaboration, while hybrid businesses demand greater coordination across physical and virtual teams. Second, managing dual identities creates persistent emotional tensions, as participants continuously negotiate the competing expectations of motherhood and leadership. Despite these challenges, mompreneurs demonstrate resilience through adaptive leadership, flexible boundary management, and the creative use of accessible digital technologies. This study extends digital HRM and women's entrepreneurship literature by illustrating how gender roles, resource constraints, and digital work intersect in micro-enterprises. The findings also provide practical insights for policymakers, digital platform developers, and entrepreneurship support programs seeking to strengthen gender-responsive digital entrepreneurship in emerging economies.

Abstract

Economic growth is a key indicator of macroeconomic performance and is influenced by various monetary factors. This study aims to examine the effects of inflation, money supply (M2), and interest rates on economic growth in ASEAN-5 countries during the 2014–2024 period. The study employs a quantitative approach using balanced panel data consisting of 55 observations from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. The data were obtained from secondary sources, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Panel data regression analysis was conducted using EViews 13, with model selection based on the Chow and Hausman tests. The empirical results indicate that the Fixed Effect Model is the most appropriate estimation model. The findings reveal that inflation has a positive and statistically significant effect on economic growth, suggesting that moderate inflation is associated with increased economic activity. In contrast, the money supply (M2) does not have a significant effect on economic growth during the study period. Furthermore, interest rates have a negative and significant effect, indicating that higher borrowing costs tend to reduce investment and slow economic expansion. The model explains approximately 93.0% of the variation in economic growth, demonstrating strong explanatory power. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining macroeconomic stability through balanced inflation and interest rate policies while improving the effectiveness of monetary transmission to support sustainable economic growth in ASEAN-5 countries.
