Abstract

Abstract. This research aims to examine and analyze the influence of competitive advantage, superior support and competitive pressure on the performance of SMEs. Apart from that, it also tests the variableof social media use which is conceptualized as a mediator. The research population is SMEs in Solo Raya. Respondents were 91 SMEs, determined by convenience and data collected through an online survey. The analysis technique used is PLS-SEM. The things that underlie this research are phenomena that occur in the business world as well as the results of previous research which shows that the use of social media in business in developing countries continues to develop. In the face of increasingly sharp competition, currently the use of social media is considered a key strategy in SMEs. The results of this research prove that competitive advantage, superior support, and competitivepressure have a significant effect on SME performance, as in the model conceptualized at the beginning.By including the social media adoption variable as a mediator, it can be shown that the influence of superior support on SME performance is mediated by social media adoption. Social media adoption isnot proven to mediate the effect of competitive advantage on SME performance, nor the effect of competitive pressure on SME performance.

Abstract

Objektive: To explore the prophetic dimensions reflected in the character of caregivers at Al-Hambra Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School, Jombang, East Java, Indonesia, focusing particularly on those with a literary background. The study investigates how caregivers who are also poets influence educational patterns and character formation within the pesantren (Islamic boarding school) setting. Method: Qualitative phenomenological study employs prophetic structuralism, integrating Kuntowijoyo’s prophetic literature (humanization, liberation, transcendence) and Bourdieu’s genetic structuralism (habitus, field, capital). Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Binhad Nurrohmat, a poet and caregiver, and analyzed using Creswell’s six-step interactive model. Results: The findings reveal three interconnected dimensions of prophetic structuralism in Nurrohmat’s literary practice. In the amil dimension, he exercises moral agency by rejecting shirk, slander, and harmful writing through continuous self-evalution. In the amal dimension, poetry becomes a vehicle for outward goodness (honesty, social bonding, da’wah) and inward goodness (gratitude, trust in God, remembrance of death). In the amul dimension, engagement with sufism, Qur’anic narratives, and contemplation of death builds divine awareness. Novelty: Contributing a new theoretical framework, prophetic structuralism, that integrates literary analysis, authorial reflection, and social reception, extending Kuntowijoyo's prophetic literature beyond thematic analysis. Unlike previous studies that focus solely on textual interpretation, this framework combines authorial subjectivity and reader response to offer a more comprehensive understanding of prophetic values in literature. It also demonstrates how pesantren-based education, through caregivers with literary and religious consciousness, shapes students' resilient moral character, thereby supporting SDG 4 (Quality Education), particularly target 4.7.

Abstract

Objective: To explore the poetic transformation of Binhad Nurrohmat from his urban Jakarta period to his spiritually contemplative works in Javanese pesantren culture. It seeks to understand how this poetic shift reconfigures the relationship between literary practice, ethical subjectivity, and spiritual transcendence. Method: The research uses prophetic structuralism, a theoretical synthesis of Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of cultural production (habitus, field, capital) and Kuntowijoyo's Islamic prophetic paradigm (humanization, liberation, transcendence). Data were collected through close reading of Nurrohmat's selected poetry collections published between 2014 and 2021, as well as contextual analysis of his biographical trajectory from Jakarta to Jombang. Results: The findings reveal that Nurrohmat's work embodies a tripartite movement within prophetic structuralism, comprising Amil, Amal, and Amul. First, in the Amil dimension, the poet positions himself as an ethical subject situated between the secular and the sacred realms. Second, in the Amal dimension, poetry functions as a critical social practice. Third, in the Amul dimension, language becomes a medium of contemplative transcendence. The pesantren functions not merely as a backdrop but as a transformative field that reshapes poetic habitus and spiritual capital. Novelty: Contributing prophetic structuralism as a new theoretical framework for analyzing Islamic literature, moving beyond thematic interpretation to integrate authorial habitus, field dynamics, and spiritual capital. It offers a broader reflection on Islamic literary modernity that engages deeply with tradition while performing a critical, spiritually infused aesthetics relevant to post-secular literary discourse and SDG 4 (Quality Education), particularly target 4.7 on education for sustainable development.
