Intense competition in Indonesia’s Packaged Drinking Water (AMDK) industry necessitates entrepreneurial strategies emphasizing innovation and communication. This study examines how product innovation and marketing communication influence repurchase intention, mediated by brand image, using NEWHEXA (East Java) as a case study. A quantitative approach employing SEM-PLS analysis of 200 active consumers yielded key findings: (1) Innovation (β = 0.35, p < 0.001) and marketing communication (β = 0.41, p < 0.001) significantly enhance brand image; (2) Brand image exerts the strongest direct impact on repurchase intention (β = 0.62, p < 0.001); (3) Brand image significantly mediates the relationship (VAF = 58.3%), confirming its pivotal causal role. These findings have strong implications for entrepreneurship curricula that emphasize cultural storytelling as a strategy to foster consumer loyalty. They strongly support integrating packaged water industry case studies, like NEWHEXA, into entrepreneurship curricula, particularly modules using cultural storytelling to build consumer loyalty through authentic brand identity. Key limitations include geographically focused sampling and respondent homogeneity. Future research should investigate socio-cultural moderators and the socio-economic impact of AMDK innovations on SMEs.

The low quality of human resources, exacerbated by a lack of access to structured entrepreneurship education, is a critical barrier to the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Acknowledging education as a fundamental driver of change, this study aims to formulate a strategic model for MSME development by integrating educational approaches to improve the quality of human resources (HR) and foster village entrepreneurship areas in Gorontalo Regency. A descriptive explanatory research method was employed, utilizing the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for analysis. Data were collected through focus group discussions and structured questionnaires administered to a panel of 21 experts, including MSME practitioners, government officials, and educational experts. The AHP results indicate that expanding access to practical entrepreneurship education and training is a primary strategy, underpinning the top priority of market access (weight: 0.417). This is followed by the core factor of human resource quality (0.271), which is directly addressed through educational interventions. Technology and innovation (0.147), government affirmative policies (0.131), and infrastructure support (0.035) complete the hierarchy. Consequently, the key policy implications are deeply rooted in education. It is recommended that local governments collaborate with educational institutions and the private sector to develop curricula for ongoing community-based education and training programs.

Objective: The present study focused on exploring the influence of parents’ economic vulnerability in the agricultural sector on students’ enrollment in the Dambatta Local Government Area of Kano State, a rural community in Nigeria. Method: The quantitative and qualitative methods (mixed mode) were employed throughout this study. Two separate questionnaires were administered to 108 teachers and 28 parents who were randomly selected for interview. Results: indicates a moderate negative relationship between vulnerability in economic and students’ school enrolment in the rural community, with r = -0.686, p = 0.000, P < 0.01. That means an increase in vulnerability in agricultural jobs leads to a decrease in students’ enrolment. However, it was discovered that most parents in the rural community hold negative views regarding their children’s education during economic vulnerability. Novelty: The study signified that economic vulnerability caused by climate change, like negative precipitation and agricultural productivity, directly influences school conditions and educational decisions in rural communities.

This study analyzes the impact of Social Capital and Rationality on the performance of MSMEs in Jambi City, mediated by Innovative Work Behavior and Entrepreneur Learning Orientation. Using a quantitative approach with PLS-SEM, data were collected from MSME actors to examine these relationships. The findings reveal that Social Capital has a positive but insignificant influence on MSME performance, indicating that social networks may not directly enhance outcomes due to limited resource access or ineffective linkages. In contrast, Rationality shows a significant negative effect on performance, suggesting that highly rational decision-making can reduce adaptability in dynamic markets. Interestingly, both Social Capital and Rationality significantly improve Innovative Work Behavior, but this behavior negatively impacts performance possibly due to innovation not aligning with market needs or requiring time to show results. Meanwhile, Entrepreneur Learning Orientation has a significant positive influence on performance, emphasizing the role of continuous learning. Rationality supports learning orientation, while Social Capital does not. Overall, these findings highlight the complex dynamics shaping MSME success and offer strategic insights for development in Jambi City.

Strengthening entrepreneurship is one of the targets in the important agenda in the 2020-2024 RPJMN. Entrepreneurship is not just one virtual world but many worlds, which are starting to form to enable society to deepen and expand social interactions digitally. This study aims to explore the demographic profile and potential of the young generation to develop productive and quality entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship has a very important role in increasing regional competitiveness, creating jobs, and increasing local revenue (PAD). Each provincial government implements different strategies to promote entrepreneurship development in its region. Mapping entrepreneurial potential, especially among young people, is a strategic step in identifying and optimizing existing resources to create productive and quality young entrepreneurs. Ultimately, this will contribute significantly to economic growth, job creation, and improving the quality of life of the community. Through the right approach, success in developing young entrepreneurship in Indonesia will not only be an opportunity for the individuals concerned, but will also strengthen the foundation of the national economy and increase Indonesia's competitiveness in the international arena.

This study investigates the moderating role of peer support on the relationship between learning interest, learning discipline, and student motivation in a 3T (frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged) region Batuputih sub-district. While previous studies have explored these variables individually, limited research has examined how peer support interacts with interest and discipline to influence learning motivation in underdeveloped regions. Employing a quantitative approach with a survey method, data were collected from 201 grade XI students at SMAN Tupan and SMAN Benlutu using purposive sampling. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was administered, and sample adequacy was determined using G*Power analysis (effect size = 0.15, power = 0.95, α = 0.05), resulting in a minimum requirement of 107 participants. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM via SmartPLS. The findings indicate that both learning interest (p = 0.027) and learning discipline (p = 0.000) significantly influence student motivation. However, peer support does not moderate these relationships, as shown by p-values of 0.744 and 0.861, respectively. These results suggest that while interest and discipline are critical drivers of motivation, peer support may not play a significant moderating role in this context. This study contributes to the understanding of motivational factors in disadvantaged educational settings and provides insights for educators in designing targeted interventions.

The rise of the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed outdoor activities, education included. Nevertheless, a significant number of parents chose to enroll their children in non-formal education settings. This research explored the elements that impact parental preferences when selecting non-formal education amid the health crisis. A quantitative methodology was utilized to investigate the relationship between marketing tactics and parental selections. Information was gathered from 81 parents who had received promotional material from a non-formal educational institution in Surabaya, with a total of 51 parents chosen for detailed examination. Data was acquired through surveys, and SPSS was utilized for data analysis. The findings indicated that strategies involving word-of-mouth and digital learning programs played a significant role in shaping parental decisions, both as standalone factors and combined. Despite the advancements of the digital age, traditional word-of-mouth continues to hold importance, given that kids rely heavily on their parents' choices. The innovation of this study lies in the combination of traditional marketing practices and digital learning to better support the selection of non-formal education. The results offer valuable guidance for administrators at non-formal schools to enhance their marketing approaches and elevate parental contentment.

Entrepreneurship is often seen as a pathway to youth empowerment and economic growth, yet start-up failure rates remain high despite the strong entrepreneurial enthusiasm of young people, particularly urban university students. This study investigates the determinants of entrepreneurial intention by incorporating entrepreneurship education, nascent entrepreneurial behavior, perceived behavioral control, and commitment, with commitment also tested as a moderator. Using PLS-SEM with 330 urban university students, the findings reveal that entrepreneurship education, perceived behavioral control, and commitment significantly enhance entrepreneurial intention, while entrepreneurship education also promotes nascent entrepreneurial behavior. However, commitment does not moderate the link between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention (H3 not supported), and nascent entrepreneurial behavior does not significantly influence entrepreneurial intention (H4 not supported). These results contribute theoretically by extending the Theory of Planned Behavior to the context of urban start-ups and highlighting the boundary conditions of commitment and nascent behavior. Practically, the study underscores the importance of strengthening entrepreneurship curricula and support systems, while cautioning that exploratory entrepreneurial activities alone may not translate into strong start-up intentions. Beyond theoretical contributions, the findings also offer practical insights for Indonesian universities. Specifically, entrepreneurship education should be integrated with project-based learning, mentoring programs, and funding mechanisms that enable students to transform intentions into sustainable ventures within the urban start-up ecosystem.

Rapid advancements in technology related to the fourth industrial revolution have transformed the way financial transactions are conducted, shifting from conventional cash methods to digital finance, also known as fintech. Despite this shift, the adoption of fintech is inconsistent, especially among students, who are an important group for promoting financial inclusion and literacy. This study aims to fill the existing gap by investigating the specific elements that influence fintech adoption among Economics Education students in Java, using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a framework. An explanatory quantitative investigation involving 350 students from three accredited universities shows that attitudes, social factors, and digital financial literacy play an important role in shaping students' intentions to use fintech. Importantly, digital financial literacy stands out as a crucial element, both directly and indirectly encouraging responsible financial practices and the adoption of fintech. The originality of this research lies in its examination of the relationship between education and the use of fintech, emphasizing the importance of digital financial literacy in influencing students' financial actions in an increasingly digital economy.

The main issue raised is how the subjective well-being of this community is influenced by unique cultural ties and traditional values, which are often overlooked in economic-based welfare measurements. This study aims to explore the subjective well-being of the Tengger Tribe community in Ranupani Village, East Java, which reflects the balance between material and non-material aspects. With a phenomenological approach and qualitative methods, this study uncovers the meaning of subjective well-being through in-depth interviews and observations of six key informants. The results show that subjective well-being in the Tengger Tribe community includes life satisfaction obtained from farming activities, sufficient income, availability of free time, and the application of traditional values such as Tri Hita Karana and the teachings of Bekti Marang Guru Papat. Spiritual ties, social solidarity, and harmony with nature also become the main pillars in creating well-being. The implication of this study is the need for local culture-based policies to support indigenous peoples' multidimensional well-being.

Vocational High Schools (SMK) have an important role in preparing human resources to face the challenges of the world of work. Data in the field shows that unemployment of vocational school graduates continues to increase, so entrepreneurial competence as a solution to overcome unemployment among vocational school graduates must be considered. This research aims to examine the factors that influence entrepreneurial competence in vocational school students, namely intellectual skills, academic values, and learning environment. Data was collected through an online survey involving 250 vocational school students in Central Java Province. The research instrument was adapted from existing economic and entrepreneurship literacy tests. Data were analyzed using the Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CBSEM) method. The research results found that school rankings had a significant and positive effect on entrepreneurial competence in vocational schools and were related to the learning environment and students' intellectual abilities. This study recommends learning strategies that integrate academic values, intellectual skills, and the learning environment to produce graduates who are ready for the world of work, able to create independent business opportunities, and contribute to the local economy.

To make wise financial decisions, especially amid the complexity of today's financial situations, financial literacy encompassing knowledge, skills, and confidence is crucial. Financial literacy is an essential ability in urban environments, where the economic dynamics are highly complex. This study examines how financial literacy influences the ability of urban residents to make wise financial decisions. A quantitative approach was used with a survey of 200 individuals with stable incomes, from the upper middle class in Lhokseumawe City, aged between 25 and 55 years. Purposive sampling was used to choose the sample. The questionnaire measured the quality of economic decision-making and financial literacy (knowledge, skills, and confidence) using a 5-point Likert scale. To analyze the relationships between variables, multiple linear regression, descriptive statistics, t-tests, and F-tests were applied. The findings showed that the regression model Y = 0.298 + 0.223X1 - 0.096X2 + 0.766X3 + ϵ illustrates the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Financial knowledge significantly improves the quality of economic decision-making (t-statistic 6.292, p = 0.000). Financial skills negatively affect economic decision-making (t-statistic -3.258, p = 0.001). Confidence significantly positively influences decision-making (t-statistic 18.947, p = 0.000). The F-test revealed an F-value of 244.043 with p = 0.000, confirming the significant impact of independent variables on the quality of economic decision-making. These findings highlight the importance of knowledge and confidence in economic decisions, while incorrect financial skills may pose risks.

The aim of this study is to understand the roles, trends, and development of research in entrepreneurship education.  The method used is bibliometric analysis with the help of tools such as OpenRefine, VOSViewer, MS Excel, and Bibliometrix. These tools were used to analyze document distribution per year across different countries, institutions, journals, authors, topic trends, and keyword co-occurrences. The search was conducted on August 10, 2024, the literature search was conducted by entering words based on the title, abstract and keywords "education" AND "entrepreneurship", with restrictions in the data search, namely for the type of document in the form of research journal articles from 2016 to 2024 with limited criteria, data was obtained as much as 2,592 documents.The results of this study show a growth in the publication of articles on entrepreneurship education over the past nine years, with an average annual increase of more than fifteen percent. However, a decline was observed in 2019-2020. China is the most productive country in publishing articles related to entrepreneurship education, while the most productive institution is Universitas Negeri Jakarta from Indonesia. The top journal in this field is Education and Training Journal. Author co-occurrence analysis reveals two major networks of authors, led by Wibowo A and Wang J, respectively. Based on the data collected, the most frequently appearing keywords are "entrepreneurship" and "entrepreneurship education."  The latest topic trends related to entrepreneurship education include terms such as "innovation and entrepreneurship education,” "innovation and entrepreneurship," and "evaluation models.” Innovation and evaluation models become the current trend in this research area. This study can be useful for identifying research gaps regarding the development and implementation of entrepreneurship education, with the latest trends focusing on innovation and evaluation models.  Based on the data search, further comprehensive studies on the integration of entrepreneurship education, vocational education, and digital technology are needed.  According to the analyzed Scopus metadata, research on the integration of these fields is still very limited.

Entrepreneurial intention needs to be considered by the Indonesian government when creating entrepreneurs, especially among students who have the potential to become entrepreneurs. Two psychological variables influence entrepreneurial intention in students. This study aims to test the effect of perceived behavioral control on entrepreneurial intention by involving self-efficacy as a mediator variable. This study uses a quantitative method, using Hayes' Process Macro analysis and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The research subjects involved in this study were 199 active students. This study obtained a BootLLCI value of 0.1576, which is greater than BootULCI 0.418, which shows that self-efficacy does have a significant influence as a mediator between perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention in students. This study is expected to provide a deeper understanding to researchers and practitioners, especially in educational institutions, about the development of entrepreneurial intention by considering psychological factors in students.

In order to reach the goal of Indonesia Emas 2045, it is very important to support small and medium-sized businesses, known as MSMEs. However, looking at the unemployment rate in Indonesia, which is 7.99 million people, we see that many people still have a hard time finding jobs, even though they could start their own businesses. This research wants to look at how teaching entrepreneurship can boost the desire to become an entrepreneur, with the help of entrepreneurial mindset and positive feelings among university students. This research is a type of study that can be confirmed. The group of people studied in this research includes undergraduate students from Maranatha Christian University, and the sample includes 172 students who are currently taking or have already taken entrepreneurship classes. The way the samples were chosen was through a method called non-probability sampling with purposive sampling, and information was gathered by handing out surveys. The data collected were analyzed using the Smart PLS software. The study's findings show that education in entrepreneurship does not have a direct effect on the desire to become an entrepreneur. However, entrepreneurship education does positively affect feelings and the entrepreneurial mindset. Therefore, the study concludes that education in entrepreneurship influences the desire to become an entrepreneur, with the help of an entrepreneurial mindset and positive feelings. The results of this research highlight how important these four factors are in the world of entrepreneurship.

The urgency of this research is motivated by the urgent need for teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge competency related to the rapid advancement of information technology, which affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the learning process and the development of student characteristics holistically. Therefore, this study aims to develop the TPACK-IDD IRR method to improve teachers' TPACK competency and evaluate the contribution of this method in improving each TPACK domain. The research method is design based research, focusing on the design, development, and evaluation of educational interventions. The stages of model development are applied to the ADDIE development model. The implementation of TPACK IDD IRR consists of the stages of Introduction, Demonstration, Development, Implementation, Reflection, and Revision. The sample size consists of 120 pre-service teachers in the field of economics. Data collection techniques by observation and survey with observation guide instruments and questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. The effectiveness of the model uses a one-sample t-test to identify differences in TPACK domain scores before and after the implementation of the IDD IRR strategy. The results of the study indicate that the IDD IRR model, which integrates discussion, simulation, and project-based learning methods, positively influences the TPACK competency of economics teachers. Ultimately, this study concludes that the IDD IRR strategy effectively enhances the TPACK competency of prospective economics educators, preparing them to face the challenges of modern teaching.

Unemployment is a serious problem, especially for young people graduating from vocational schools. Vocational education and training (TVET) is a strategic solution to prepare young people to become job seekers and creators. However, the number of vocational school graduates who become entrepreneurs is still low. This indicates a gap between the school entrepreneurship education and students' motivation to become entrepreneurs. This study aims to analyze the influence of entrepreneurship knowledge, family environment, and entrepreneurial spirit on entrepreneurial interest, with self-efficacy as a mediating variable, among students of the Computer and Network Engineering Vocational High School in Makassar. This study uses a quantitative approach with an ex post facto method on 178 respondents, and the data is analyzed using SEM-PLS. The study results show interesting findings: entrepreneurial knowledge does not significantly affect entrepreneurial interest, while family environment and entrepreneurial spirit have a positive and significant effect. Self-efficacy was proven to strongly mediate between psychological factors (entrepreneurial spirit) and social factors (family environment) to entrepreneurial motivation. Theoretically, this study provides evidence that with these research results, Bandura's self-efficacy theory in vocational education can confirm that self-efficacy is the key to shaping students' entrepreneurial behavior. Practically, the results of this study emphasize the importance of project-based and real-life entrepreneurial learning that builds students' confidence in entrepreneurship, as well as the important role of the family in supporting students to become entrepreneurs. These findings provide important insights for educators and policymakers in strengthening entrepreneurial education in vocational high schools.

This study aims to identify, analyze, and explore indicators of halal destination attributes in the context of tourism in West Sumatra by integrating the concepts of halal and halal tourist destinations. Halal tourism is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global tourism industry, driven by an increase in Muslim tourists, estimated to reach 230 million by 2026. As the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia has great potential to become a significant halal tourism destination. West Sumatra, with its rich Minangkabau culture and strong Islamic values, is one of the leading destinations in Indonesia for halal tourism. The questionnaire was distributed to 400 respondents who had visited West Sumatra, with a return rate of 87.5%. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted using SPSS version 24.0 for Windows, then continued with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMoS) version 24.0 for Windows. The results showed that halal destination attributes among tourists in West Sumatra are influenced by three main factors: Muslim Friendly Tourism Quality (MFTQ), Cultural Tourism Quality (MFHS), and Muslim Friendly Tourism Standard (MFHS)). These findings are essential for destination managers to design effective strategies to attract and meet the needs of Muslim travelers, which is a growing market segment.

A different perspective of management and shareholders may cause conflict that hampers long-term organizational objectives. Human Resources Accounting (HRA) as an element of long-term investment has become more prevalent as information that deters investor decisions. This study enlarges shareholder theory that focuses on HRA disclosure as voluntary disclosure. The quantitative approach using PLS-SEM provides empirical evidence that HRA disclosure mediates the relationship between firm size-firm value and profitability-firm size in a negative direction. The mediation form of HRA disclosure on profitability's effect on firm value is full mediation. Q2 of 25.2% indicates that the Firm's Size, profitability, and HRA disclosure can explain the variation in the firm's value change by 25.2%. Therefore, future research should include other variables that affect the firm's value, including NPL, CAR, and company age. This finding contributes to revisiting voluntary disclosure theory by questioning the theory. And give additional evidence from the signaling theory perspective that the voluntary one failed to send a good signal to the receiver.

This research explores various factors that influence the decision of young people in Ponorogo who prefer to work abroad as Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) rather than continuing their education and how the family's economic conditions influence the choice to work overseas rather than continuing their education. This research took a qualitative approach with a grounded research design conducted in Pondok Village, Babadan District, Ponorogo Regency. Data was collected by observation and interviews with informants as many as 10 PMI children with ages ranging from 6-20 years. The data was then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The research results show that changes in economic activities give rise to a welfare dilemma for young people in Ponorogo who want to become migrant workers rather than continue their education. These results provide valuable insight into the factors that encourage individuals to choose to work abroad rather than continue their education and provide input for better policies to support the education and economic well-being of families in the region.
