The Gratification Obtained is an essential part of media studies. It analyzes the gratifications obtained by the media users. This paper reveals findings from observations towards the digital media users in four countries in Southeast Asia using 5 key indicators; namely self-expression, learning needs, leisure & entertainment, escape from real life and killing time, with an analysis from the demographic perspective of the respondents including gender, education, country and age. The results of the survey show that gratifications obtained in the digital media in these countries were not correlated with gender and education, but it was different or correlated with country and age of the respondents.

This study aimed to measure the impact of attitude, social influence, and perceived usefulness on e-money adoption intention. Data were collected using an online instrument involving 264 participants in Indonesia, and 287 participants in Turkey. Data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling and there were five hypotheses to be tested. The results of the study indicated a significant impact of attitude on adoption indention. Also, a significant influence of perceived usefulness on attitude and adoption intention was also detected. Moreover, a significant effect of social influence on perceived usefulness and adoption intention was observed. However, there were different results when the calculation focused on participants in each country. This study discussed recommendations for practitioners and future studies.

The primary objective of this study is associated with the management of educational system in schools using Three Law Auguste Comte at Pesantren Tebuireng Jombang, East Java, Indonesia. Since June 2006 the Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School has been providing the Islamic education. However, in these schools, the students coming from other schools do not have Islamic education and face difficulty while taking courses. Additionally, the students of Tebuireng Islamic Boarding Schools are not familiar with traditional education, such as science-based subjects; mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and management. Therefore, man-agement of educational system is required in Tebuireng Islamic Boarding Schools. For this purpose, data were collected from the teachers of these schools by using a questionnaire survey. Partial Least Square (PLS)-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. Findings of the study revealed that all levels of education in Islamic schools (Pesantren) should provide science-based subjects rational, among others: mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, management, etc. Moreover, there should be a balance between Islamic education and science-based education.

This study aimed to determine the impact of financial literacy on financial behaviour among teachers of secondary school. Financial behaviour in this study was explored as saving behaviour, shopping behaviour, short-term planning and long-term planning. Data were collected at the Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, involving 142 participants who were approached conveniently. Data were analysed using the reflective measurement model in Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling. As a result, financial literacy had a significant impact on financial behaviour in terms of saving behaviour, shopping behaviour, short-term planning and long-term planning.

This study seeks to explore how innovative performance development model, which is based on human capital and network quality, can contribute to the improvement of marketing performance. Respondents are the chief executives of Pertamina lubricants distributors, with sample size of 120 out of 460. For the analysis, the Struc-tural Equation Model (SEM) is applied along with AMOS software. The result of the study shows that there was improvement on marketing performance through the implementation of innovative performance management based on network quality.

This study aims to examine the effect of supply chain information integration consisting of internal and exter-nal Information Integration on organizational performance, which consists of customer satisfaction, supply chain performance, and financial performance. The technique of collecting data is based on a questionnaire distributed to 185 small food industry owners. Methods of data analysis is based on using SEM-PLS. The results show that internal information integration affected customer satisfaction, supply chain, and financial performance. External information integration is proven to have a nonlinear effect on customer satisfaction and on the performance of the supply chain. Customer satisfaction and supply chain performance affect financial performance. Internal information integration is more dominant and plays an important role in increasing the performance of the organization.

The aim of this study was to examine the role of entrepreneurial marketing as a mediating variable in the relationship between environmental turbulence and dynamic capability with sustainable competitive advantage. This study involved 130 craft industries in Malang Regency, Malang City, and Batu City, East Java, Indonesia. Application of loading factor followed by SEM-PLS developed a model showing how environmental turbulence and dynamic capability influence on entrepreneurial marketing which consequently leads to differentiation and performance improvement which are the established indicators of sustainable competitive advantage for the firms. The model was empirically validated using model fit indices and was found satisfacto-ry. The findings show that environmental turbulence did not have any significant relationship with a sustaina-ble competitive advantage. Dynamic capability had a significant relationship with a sustainable competitive advantage. Entrepreneurial Marketing mediates the relationship between environmental dynamic capabilities with sustainable competitive advantage. The analysis shows that highly dynamic capability and entrepreneurial marketing tends to highly sustainable competitive advantage. It indicated that dynamic capability and entrepreneurial marketing offer systematic model for supporting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to build a well-maintained environment and sustainable competitive advantage.

This study investigated the impact of supply chain ambidexterity on supply chain performance (SCP) under uncertainties. The dynamic capability theory of firms was adopted in the supply chain to design a research framework that recommends a supply chain strategy under uncertainties pertaining to inter-island logistics in Indonesia. This study involved the survey of 140 large-scale companies delivering products across the Indonesian islands to identify the supply chain uncertainties by analyzing data using SmartPLS. The supply chain ambidexterity (SAM) was identified to exhibit no direct correlation with SCP; however, agile supply chain (ASC) and lean supply chain (LSC) could indirectly relate the SAM and SCP. For supply chain professionals, the results indicated that SCP cannot be achieved solely through SAM, thereby necessitating the development of LSCs and/or ASCs, driven from SAM, to achieve SCP. Thus, this study empirically confirmed ASC and LSC to be effective practices for mitigating supply chain uncertainties by mediating supply chain ambidexterity on SCP.

This research aimed to examine the effect of the model of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programs on SME Innovation (SI) by involving Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) as the mediating variable. This quantitative research used a Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis technique with SEM-PLS 3.2.9 software. Respondents in this research were small businesses as mitra binaan of the Oil and Gas SOE in Wast Java Province, consisting of 87 small businesses or enterprises engaged in fashion, food, beverages, toys, and educational props. Sampling was done using a purposive random sampling technique. The results showed that CSR programs had a significant direct effect on Entrepreneurial Orientation and SME Innovations. It was also found that Entrepreneurial Orientation was significantly and directly correlated with SME Innovations. CSR programs had a significant indirect effect on SME Innovations through Entrepreneurial Orientation. The study confirmed that CSR programs impacted SME Innovations by involving entrepreneurial orientation to strengthen the influence of CSR programs on small businesses.

This study is aimed at analyzing the effect of port service performance, occupational safety, and health, and work safety on loading and unloading productivity and its impact on service user satisfaction at Yos Sudarso Tual Port, Maluku province, in Eastern Indonesia in 2020. What was found was the limited-service performance delivered to service users, resulting in dissatisfaction. This could have implications for the less-than-optimal loading and unloading performance at Yos Sudarso Tual Port. The study uses a quantitative method, with a path analysis model, with a total of 40 samples. Research respondents are users of loading and unloading services. The findings, in general, indicate that there is an effect of port service performance, occupational safety, and health and work security on loading and unloading productivity which in turn has an impact on increasing user satisfaction of Yos Sudarso Tual Port services. The key finding is that new investments are needed which will require the ongoing capacity building and development of several port authorities who are civil servants who will oversee port planning and operations and regulate access to key port services and facilities.
