Abstract

General Background Digital transformation fundamentally shifts educational paradigms, requiring educators to adopt interactive visual learning platforms. Specific Background Yayasan Insan Mandiri Denpasar mandates specific design software for 178 educators across Lombok and Sumbawa, yet adoption remains inconsistent despite institutional directives. Knowledge Gap Traditional technology adoption frameworks fail to adequately explain educational software integration because they overlook how technical features align with pedagogical demands. Aims This study evaluates platform acceptance among educators using a modified theoretical framework incorporating compatibility with instructional requirements. Results Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling reveals that perceived usefulness and compatibility with instructional requirements positively determine behavioral intention. Conversely, perceived ease of operation lacks a direct relationship with intention, operating solely as an indirect determinant through instructional compatibility. Novelty This research isolates pedagogical compatibility as a crucial mediating variable that bridges the gap between operational simplicity and sustained technological integration. Implications Educational institutions must design training programs that prioritize pedagogical integration and practical utility over basic technical navigation. Highlights Perceived usefulness and instructional compatibility directly dictate the behavioral intention of educators to adopt digital platforms. Perceived ease of operation does not directly govern the behavioral intention for instructional purposes. Instructional compatibility successfully mediates the relationship between operational simplicity, perceived utility, and sustained software integration. Keywords Partial Least Squares; Instructional Needs Compatibility; Behavioral Intention; Educational Software Adoption; Structural Equation Modeling

Abstract

General Background: Manufacturing is a dominant economic sector, yet high sectoral contribution and investment do not always translate into proportional labor absorption. Specific Background: In Sidoarjo Regency, the manufacturing sector contributes strongly to regional economic output and receives substantial investment, but labor absorption remains below expectations. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies on labor absorption in Indonesia have mostly used cross-section, panel, or broader regional approaches, leaving limited time-series evidence on short-run and long-run relationships at the district level. Aims: This study aims to explain the short-run and long-run relationships between manufacturing labor absorption as the dependent variable and value added and investment as independent variables using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag approach for 2010-2024 data. Results: In the short run, value added and investment showed positive relationships with labor absorption, with a coefficient of 1.005. In the long run, although statistically insignificant, value added recorded a coefficient of -0.21 and investment -0.12, indicating declining labor absorption consistent with jobless growth. The error correction term was -0.45 per year. Novelty: The study offers district-level ARDL evidence on industrial labor absorption by distinguishing short-run gains from long-run jobless growth tendencies. Implications: The findings suggest that industrial investment policy should pay attention to whether capital formation supports employment or mainly reinforces automation that replaces labor. Highlights: Value added and capital formation showed positive short-run coefficients. Long-run coefficients for output and funding were negative but statistically nonsignificant. ECT indicated annual adjustment toward equilibrium at minus 0.45. Keywords:  Manufacturing Labor Absorption, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL), Jobless Growth
