Abstract

Leadership style is a complex phenomenon involving the leader, followers, and circumstances. The leadership style in an organization is also related to the overall success of the team. This study intends to determine whether transformational leadership carried out by a company has a significant positive impact on the outcomes felt by employees in the insurance and pension fund service cluster of State Owned Enterprises (SOEs). This study utilized Partial Least Square (PLS) in SmartPLS 3.0 with a sample of 372 employees from class 3 and class 4 SOEs in the insurance and pension fund service cluster of SOEs. The results reveal that transformational leadership significantly impacts the outcomes felt by employees (in terms of employee satisfaction, employee performance, and employee engagement). This study confirms the positive relationship between one type of leadership and employee satisfaction, employee performance, and employee engagement in the insurance and pension fund service cluster of SOEs. This study proposes new insights and theoretical as well as managerial implications. Future research can consider other variables that can give a significant positive influence on the outcomes felt by employees, for instance working environment.

Abstract

This paper scrutinizes the alignments of the diversity the board of directors (BOD) towards dividends for tackling information asymmetry, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and non-renewable energy (NRE) consumption in order to gain communities' legitimacy. BOD diversity includes gender, age, education level, nationality, and accounting expertise. Data for this study were collected from 40 firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2020, and panel data was then analyzed. The results show that board diversity does not impact dividends, except for foreign directors, but it represents strong governance and zero agency costs. Additionally, the diversity of the board’s gender, nationality, and accounting expertise negatively affects CSR while other variables are insignificant. Board gender and educational level have significant positive effects on NRE consumption (read: exacerbate) while other variables are relatively insignificant. BOD does not serve the community's interests as much as the investor, but they also have agenda to focus on pro-organization. However, sensitivity analysis has documented the board's apathetic attitude toward the environment. In addition to managerial implications, this research also suggests a top-down approach for regulators to remove the potential rhetoric of the renewable energy target.

Abstract

The rise of ridesharing e-booking applications in Malaysia with their interesting features and characteristics seems to give a huge impact on the transportation industry. However, there are several issues pertaining to security, safety, legality, and regulations. Three primary service quality dimensions of e-ridesharing, which are considered fit and suitable in the context of the current study, are identified, including app quality, interaction quality, and physical environment quality. 487 questionnaires were used for data analyses. The subdimensions were verified using an exploratory factor, and regression analysis was conducted further. The result indicates that e-ridesharing service quality dimensions, which include app quality, interaction quality, and physical environment quality, are able to improve passengers’ satisfaction and re-ride intention. The findings are expected to help increase the quality of services offered by the service providers and contribute to the body of knowledge which can be replicated in the various service industries.

Abstract

This study intends to analyze the impact of e-WoM engagement on social commerce applications of beauty products on customer purchase intention. The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), and Social Support Theory were employed to investigate the effect of e-WOM engagement on purchase intention. Data were collected from 356 social commerce users in Indonesia, and PLS-SEM was used to analyze the relationship between variables. This study discovered that e-WoM engagement positively affects purchase intention. All the TAM constructs, consisting of innovativeness and social support, also have a positive impact on e-WoM engagement and purchase intention. However, information characteristics have no significant impact on e-WoM engagement. Business players of beauty products and managers of online businesses should pay attention to factors that shape customers’ attitudes to engage in e-WoM in order to stimulate positive e-WoM engagement. This study proposes a new model for research in the field of social commerce and becomes the first research concentrating on social commerce specializing in beauty products.

Abstract

Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) is growing rapidly, especially in Indonesia. Chatbot is one of the new forms of technology in AI that works like humans. Its great development is evidenced by the major adoption of chatbots in various industrial sectors, especially in the banking industry. This study intends to investigate the anthropomorphism of chatbots as one influencing factor of the trust, intention, and engagement of state-owned bank customers in Indonesia. The study employed the DOI theory since consumer behavior toward new technology is determined by his beliefs on that particular technology. The research used non-probability sampling with a total of 108 respondents who had or frequently used chatbots for their needs. The data was processed using the Partial Least Square method to analyze the measurement and structural model. The results show that all variables of chatbot anthropomorphism have a positive effect on trust, intention, and engagement of state-owned bank customers in Indonesia. This study provides insight for bank managers to continuously develop chatbots in order to get better quality and security so that customer trust, intention and engagement can increase.

Abstract

Establishing start-ups with a higher level of maturity requires a higher level of techniques, methods, and tools. However, presently established start-ups still encounter difficulties in determining how to quantify their performance and resilience with knowledge of the start-up development process. This study intends to investigate and evaluate the features of the start-up ecosystem throughout its existence. It employed an in-depth case study through interviews and observations to better understand the start-up ecosystem and lifecycle of Indonesian software technology start-up companies. This study utilized a qualitative approach based on multiple explanatory case studies. By providing a conceptual understanding of eight fundamental elements of the start-up ecosystem and lifecycle processes, this study contributes to the identification and investigation of start-up enterprises. The findings provide insight into how to describe start-up enterprises through a multiple-case study. This study discovered that each stage of the start-up lifecycle has a distinct emphasis on improving the ecosystem in order to create a more resilient start-up company.

Abstract

The use of Islamic applications in the current digital era has grown rapidly since users can access anything and everything with just a few clicks. The market potential of M-Productivity applications in Indonesia is large since this country possesses the largest Muslim population in the world with more than 200 million Islam believers. However, this chance seems to be neglected by application developers in Indonesia. This study attempts to investigate the factors that influence consumer intentions to use Islamic M-Productivity applications by employing the UTAUT 2 model as the research model. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed, and 320 valid responses were generated from Muslim users who have or are currently using Islamic M-Productivity applications. PLS-SEM was applied as a data analysis technique to examine the hypotheses of this study. The results explain that performance expectancy and habit significantly influence a person's intention to access Islamic M-Productivity applications. In addition, this study theoretically enriches the literature on consumer intentions to use Islamic mobile applications and their factors.

Abstract

Social capital is significant for an organization while collaborative knowledge creation and e-business proactiveness support the organization in every business process. This research intends to identify social capital and collaborative knowledge creation in influencing e-business proactiveness and organizational agility in order to obtain business sustainability. This research was conducted in three months on 24 companies from the Financial Services Industry (FSI) sector in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, involving 155 respondents. The data was analyzed using the SEM-PLS. The results confirm that social capital positively impacts e-business proactiveness and collaborative knowledge creation in the FSI sector. Besides, e-business proactiveness and collaborative knowledge creation demonstrate a positive influence on the FSI’s organizational agility. Then, organizational agility significantly impacts business sustainability, while e-business proactiveness has yet to be proven to increase business sustainability in the FSI sector. The managerial implications of this research can be applied by organizations in developing social capital through social networks such as business partners in order to improve other aspects in creating business sustainability.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a wave of advertising activities advocating care for the community in a time of crisis. These COVID-19 ads often feature threatening depictions of the crisis as a persuasion strategy. Hence, the present study explores the persuasion effects of COVID-19 advertising by focusing on threat persuasion. Specifically, by adopting an online experiment with 724 U.S. participants, this study investigates how the threat intensity of crisis depictions featured in COVID-19 ads (low vs. medium vs. high) interact with individual differences in sensation-seeking in order to impact ads and brand attitudes, through the mediating pathways of positive moral emotions (warmth and gratitude) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) authenticity. The results reveal that the high-threat crisis depiction generates the lowest warmth and ad attitudes, whereas the medium-threat crisis depiction yields the strongest gratitude and better brand attitudes than the low-threat crisis depiction, but only for low sensation seekers (LSS). Also, for LSS, exposure to the medium-threat (versus low-threat) crisis depiction increases their gratitude, which leads to higher CSR authenticity, and, eventually results in more favorable ad or brand attitudes. On the contrary, for high sensation seekers, threat intensity does not have an indirect effect on the ad or brand attitudes via warmth, gratitude, and CSR authenticity.
