Polychronicity: Model and analysis of conditional process toward employee turnover intentions

The hospitality industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly but lagging behind the readiness of human resources. The hotel industry has a crucial problem of retaining employees where there is a gap between the interests of employees and the interests of the company. Turnover intention is the main predictor of turnover, so aspects that can affect turnover intention will affect turnover. This study aims to describe and analyze the relationships between variables and dimensions in the research model or paradigm developed by the researcher. It tested the conditional process model using path analysis based on OLS regression and bootstrap methods. The population in this study were employees of the hotel industry in Indonesia, with a sample of 257 employees. The findings of this study are that the work environment has no direct effect on the variables of job satisfaction, employee engagement, and turnover intention but can interact as a moderator variable so that it effectively moderates the impact of polychronic on turnover intention through full mediation of job satisfaction and employee engagement.

Strengthening work engagement through digital engagement, gamification and psychosocial safety climate in digital transformation

The problem faced in technological developments and during the pandemic is transforming employee habits from offline to online work engagement. This research aims to look at empirical evidence regarding the relationship between digital engagement, gamification, and psychosocial safety climate (PSC) on work engagement. This study employs a quantitative approach with structural equation modelling, analyzing a series of exploratory and confirmatory factors to determine the relationship between variables. This study uses primary data through a questionnaire of as many as 164 respondents with a purposive sampling technique. This study proves that digital engagement and gamification variables on PSC and work engagement have a significant positive effect. Aspects of digital transformation through digital engagement and gamification influence PSC to increase work engagement. The relationship between gamification channelled through PSC can also mediate and prove a positive influence in strengthening work engagement.

Managing creativity and innovation in the 4th industrial revolution: Learning from giants

This article highlights an idea of the importance of creativity and innovation in the face of a change that will inevitably occur in global competition, where technological sophistication is the main prerequisite to lead. The research relies on secondary data primarily from books, journals, published reports, online news, and others. This study observes business giants like Google as the best example of maximizing creativity and innovation in global competition and kitabisa.com as Indonesia's local social entrepreneurship pioneer. Then Nokia and Yahoo are examples of failure to implement creativity and innovation. From many theories, there are four theories to draw the relationship among creativity, innovation, and technology, namely: technology S-curve, punctuated equilibrium, dominant design, and absorptive capacity. However, many theories of creativity and innovation developed by scientists have their advantages and disadvantages. This study is expected to provide new insight for individuals, groups, practitioners, or stakeholders to overcome industrial revolution challenges.

Factor affecting user satisfaction in agricultural e-commerce applications: Facing the new normal

Agricultural E-Commerce with a retail business model has a big challenge to become an alternative sales distribution of agricultural products. Consumer satisfaction and loyalty can be a strategy for companies to maintain and increase sales. The purpose of this study was to analyze the users of agricultural e-commerce application characteristics and variables that affect customer satisfaction and loyalty. It was conducted by a survey in the Greater Jakarta area, Indonesia. Research data were collected using a questionnaire with a convenience sampling method to 170 respondents. The majorities of respondents were women with an age range of 20-30 years. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) results show that there is a significant influence between information quality, design, response, security, delivery on satisfaction, and satisfaction with loyalty. On the other hand, there is no significant difference between ability, payment, user service, and satisfaction. Companies can create loyalty programs to increase product purchase retention in agricultural e-commerce.

Challenges and strategies in developing human resources for the halal industry: Evidence from Indonesia

The government has prioritized the development of the halal industry sector in Indonesia through the launch of the Indonesian Sharia Economics Master Plan (MEKSI) in 2019. Currently, Indonesia is in the 5th position in the world halal industry ecosystem. This is the main focus to strengthen Indonesia as a world halal producer in 2024. This study aims to examine the challenges of developing halal industry in Indonesia and try to provide a strategy for developing human resources (HR). This study applies a qualitative research approach using three stages of data analysis, namely data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. Data analysis techniques are supported by the NVivo 12 plus program. Based on the results of the literature study, several challenges were found related to the halal industry in Indonesia, i.e. Regulation, Human Resources (HR), Government, Infrastructure and Organization. This study compiles a human resource development strategy to face HR challenges, as follows 1) Human Resource Transformation through people transformation, cultural transformation, organizational transformation and 2) Human Resource Digitalization.

The games of imitation: AI and a philosophy towards future equilibrium

This brief conceptual article starts with an argument for Artificial Intelligence (AI)’s ability to “think.” This outgrowth relates to human’s and AI’s power over nature, and to AI’s increasing power in its humanness, measured by the results of competing with humans and other AI machines in the Turing Test, and economic “game theory.” Both, and especially the latter challenge, can be quintessentially human by measuring how one values the self as opposed to society, under varying conditions. Given AI’s advancements enabling it to presumably “win” in the most humanness of games, beyond even reaching a universally beneficial “social optimal” outcome, and thus possibly even having more power than humankind, the article argues for an equilibrium of balanced powers in innovation between AI and humans. Therefore, managers, broadly construed, can function as key brokers between government policy makers and innovators as AI and humans continue to develop further into the future.

Analysis of multidimensional poverty dynamics in Indonesia: The effect of demographic and institutional factors

Measuring poverty only from a monetary perspective is lacking. Given the variety of human needs, poverty needs to be measured multidimensionally. Hence, this study analyzes multidimensional poverty dynamics and identifies its determinants from the demographic and institutional factors. Using the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) and data from the two survey periods of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS), it is known that multidimensional poverty tends to be transient rather than chronic. The highest education level of the head of the household, the level of dependency, the island of residence, the village political system, and the village government's corruption affect both chronic and transient poverty categories. The marital status of household heads, household size, and customary norms only affected the chronic poor category

Empowerment of former migrant workers: Triple bottom line framework

This study aims to analyze the empowerment of former Indonesian migrant workers, especially in the potential of running small businesses. The research data were collected by interview and literature study and the data were classified and analyzed using SWOT analysis. The SWOT analysis results are interpreted with a triple bottom line framework approach, which includes financing, environment, and social. The results of the study show that the migrant workers in Donomulyo district have sufficiently good capital in terms of financing, environment, especially in natural resources, and the social environment that allows business growth. One of the main challenges is human resources, ranging from entrepreneurial spirit to minimal managerial skills. Therefore, stakeholders must focus on programs that prioritize improving entrepreneurial skills and managerial aspects.
