Abstract

The growing use of digital financial services has made financial decision-making increasingly complex for young people, especially Generation Z. Although this generation is familiar with financial technology, easy access to digital financial products does not always lead to careful, rational, and responsible financial choices. This study examines the influence of financial literacy on financial decision-making and investigates whether financial intelligence strengthens this relationship. A quantitative explanatory design was applied in this research. The respondents consisted of 100 Generation Z students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Makassar, selected through purposive sampling. Data were obtained using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS 4.0. The findings reveal that financial literacy positively and significantly influences financial decision-making. Financial intelligence also shows a positive and significant effect, with a stronger contribution to students’ financial decision-making. In addition, financial intelligence significantly moderates the relationship between financial literacy and financial decision-making. These results suggest that financial knowledge needs to be supported by the ability to apply such knowledge in real financial situations. Therefore, Generation Z students require not only financial literacy, but also financial intelligence to control impulses, assess risks, and make responsible financial decisions in the digital financial environment.

Abstract

Increasing operational complexity within port and logistics industries has intensified the importance of operational responsiveness, service recovery, and Costumer retention. Nevertheless, the mechanisms through which service excellence and complaint resolution influence competitive advantage and Costumer loyalty within operational service environments remain insufficiently explored. This study examines the relationships among service excellence, complaint resolution, competitive advantage, and Costumer loyalty in the operational context of PT Pelindo Regional 2. Drawing upon Relationship Marketing Theory and the Resource-Based View, the study positions complaint responsiveness and operational recovery capability as strategic determinants of organizational competitiveness and Costumer retention. Using survey data collected from 316 companies utilizing PT Pelindo Regional 2 services and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the findings reveal that complaint resolution significantly strengthens both competitive advantage and Costumer loyalty. Service excellence also positively influences Costumer loyalty; however, it unexpectedly exerts a negative effect on competitive advantage. Furthermore, competitive advantage does not significantly influence Costumer loyalty and fails to mediate the relationships among the examined variables. These findings reveal the existence of a service-performance paradox within highly operational and infrastructure-based industries, where Costumers prioritize operational responsiveness and recovery capability over symbolic organizational superiority. The study contributes to service management literature by emphasizing complaint responsiveness as a more strategically relevant capability in sustaining Costumer loyalty and organizational competitiveness within port service industries.

Abstract

Global digital economic transformation requires young entrepreneurs to develop innovative capabilities supported by digital technology utilization. This study aims to analyze the effect of entrepreneurship learning and entrepreneurial interest on student business innovation through digital technology utilization as a mediating variable. This study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design. The sample consisted of 361 student entrepreneurs from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Makassar, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 4.0. The findings show that entrepreneurship learning and entrepreneurial interest significantly influence business innovation. Digital technology utilization also mediates these relationships. These findings indicate that student business innovation is not sufficiently driven by knowledge and interest alone, but also requires digital capability as a bridge toward innovative business action.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technology has increased access to online gambling, enabling individuals to participate through computers or smartphones without physical or social constraints. This study examines the rising involvement of Millennial and Generation Z youth in online slot gambling in Bojonegara District, Serang–Banten, focusing on their motivations and the resulting economic and psychological impacts. Using a qualitative case-study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten adolescent gamblers, supported by participant observation and document review to enhance contextual depth and triangulation. Findings show that youth are primarily motivated by entertainment, the desire to relieve stress, and hopes of gaining quick financial rewards. However, the consequences are largely harmful, including significant financial losses, growing debt, heightened stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and weakened social and family relationships. These outcomes demonstrate that online slot gambling disrupts both the economic stability and psychosocial well-being of young people. The study’s novelty lies in its integration of micro-economic vulnerability with behavioral motivations among Millennial and Gen Z gamblers—an area rarely explored in the Indonesian context. The results also highlight how digital gambling platforms create addictive ecosystems that particularly appeal to younger users. The study emphasizes the urgency of stronger regulation, increased public awareness, and improved mental-health support to reduce the risks of online gambling among youth.

Abstract

The empowerment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is one of the key strategies for achieving sustainable economic growth and improving public welfare. This study aims to formulate an MSME empowerment strategy that integrates green business practices, the development of environmentally friendly products based on local resources, and national development policy priorities through a SWOT-AHP approach to produce a more comprehensive strategic model in support of sustainable MSME competitiveness. This study was conducted in Makassar City, Maros Regency, and Gowa Regency. Data obtained through observation, documentation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs) were analyzed using a combined SWOT-AHP method. The results indicate that the following strategies can be implemented: Development of Innovative Green Products Based on Local Resources (SO1), Strengthening the Identity of Environmentally Friendly Local Products as a Key Competitive Advantage (ST1), Improving Digital Literacy and Branding of Environmentally Friendly Products (WO3), Training and Mentoring in Green Business Practices by NGOs and Universities (WO1), and Utilizing Government Support and E-commerce for the Promotion of Green Products (SO2).  This study makes a conceptual contribution through the development of a strategic model for MSME empowerment that integrates green entrepreneurship, product development based on local resources, national policy priorities (Asta Cita), and the SWOT-AHP approach as a framework for strategic decision-making aimed at achieving sustainable competitiveness for MSMEs.

Abstract

This study examines the strategic determinants of MSME sustainability in East Java by investigating the effects of credit facilities, digital marketing, innovation strategy, pricing strategy, distribution strategy, circular economy, and inclusive partnerships. Market competition is positioned as a mediating variable, while institutional regulation acts as a moderating variable. A quantitative explanatory research design was employed using survey data collected from 396 MSMEs selected through simple random sampling across East Java. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that credit facilities, digital marketing, innovation strategy, pricing strategy, distribution strategy, circular economy practices, and inclusive partnerships significantly influence MSME sustainability. Market competition mediates the relationship between strategic factors and sustainability, indicating that competitive dynamics enhance the effectiveness of internal business strategies. Institutional regulation also moderates the relationship between market competition and sustainability by supporting a fair and conducive business environment. These findings demonstrate that MSME sustainability is determined by the interaction of strategic capabilities, competitive market conditions, and supportive institutional frameworks.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of entrepreneurship education and digital literacy on digital entrepreneurial intention, with entrepreneurial self-efficacy positioned as a mediating variable among vocational education students. A quantitative explanatory design was employed, involving 130 students enrolled in digital business and marketing programs. Respondents were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. The findings show that entrepreneurship education does not directly influence digital entrepreneurial intention, whereas digital literacy has a significant positive effect. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy also significantly enhances digital entrepreneurial intention and serves as a key psychological mechanism linking entrepreneurship education to students’ intention to pursue digital entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship education significantly strengthens entrepreneurial self-efficacy, indicating that educational experiences contribute to students’ confidence in identifying and developing digital business opportunities. In contrast, digital literacy does not significantly influence entrepreneurial self-efficacy and has no indirect effect on digital entrepreneurial intention through self-efficacy. These findings demonstrate that digital capability and entrepreneurial confidence operate through different pathways in shaping digital entrepreneurial intention. The study highlights the need for vocational entrepreneurship education to move beyond theoretical instruction by incorporating experiential learning, digital business projects, and confidence-building activities that enable students to translate entrepreneurial knowledge into digital venture intentions.
