The rapid growth of the information technology industry has spurred corporate process digitalization. This study aims to examine how the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology’s (UTAUT) major tenets – performance expectancy and effort expectancy – and trust affect managers’ acceptance of new e-fulfillment services. This study also considers Hofstede’s cultural dimension of long-term orientation as the major variable influencing management’s acceptance of the new fulfillment platform. This study employed a quantitative research methodology with a simple random sampling of 248 Indonesian Logistic Association members from various industries. The research finding shows that only effort expectancy does not significantly affect managers’ e-fulfillment platform usage. Both effort expectancy and performance expectancy have a significant impact on employee trust in using the new technology. In addition, performance expectancy, customer trust, and long-term orientation positively affect the managerial adoption of e-fulfillment services. The study also shows a full mediation effect of customer trust in the relationship of effort expectancy to managerial adoption and a partial mediation effect in the influence of performance expectancy into managerial adoption of electronic resources planning with trust as a mediating variable.

Indonesia has low e-commerce transactions despite high internet usage. This study examines the e-repurchase intention on Lazada Indonesia, an e-marketplace with declining traffic and sales. This study uses the perceived usefulness of institutional-based mechanisms, the perceived usefulness of seller-based mechanisms, and the perceived usefulness of experience-based mechanisms to examine how trust in the e-market and e-seller affect repurchase intention. This quantitative study includes 231 Lazada Indonesia customers from the past three months (the survey was conducted in January 2023). The data were statistically analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). 43.72% of the respondents shop one to three times a month, 42.42% – more than three times per month, and 13.85 – less than once per month. Trust in the e-marketplace increased when participants believed institutional-based processes were beneficial (with a beta value of 0.272 and a P value of 0.000) and seller-based mechanisms were valuable (with a beta value of 0.509 and a P value of 0.000). In terms of trust in the e-seller, only the perceived usefulness of seller-based mechanisms has a significant effect (with a beta value of 0.567 and a P value of 0.000), while the perceived usefulness of experience-based mechanisms has no effect. This study has also shown that e-seller trust significantly affects repurchase intention. Finally, with a beta value of -0.055 and a P value of 0.046, e-marketplace trust negatively moderates the relationship between e-seller trust and repurchase intention. Thus, e-marketplace trust can replace e-seller trust in customer repurchase intentions.

Technology and the internet have altered business activities by enabling organizations to reach customers, develop markets, enhance profitability, and raise brand awareness. With 167 million social media users, Indonesia’s internet economy provides numerous entrepreneurial possibilities; however, just 0.43% of entrepreneurs are technology-based. This demonstrates the need for digital entrepreneurship education and effective social media use, particularly among tech-savvy college students. The present study aims to examine the effects of social media utilization, digital entrepreneurship education, and attitude toward digital business on the technology-based entrepreneurial behavior of Indonesian university students, using the frameworks of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and the theory of planned behavior. This study employs quantitative research using a non-probability sampling method with a judgmental technique, focusing on 391 university students engaged in entrepreneurial activities using social media. The study employed SmartPLS to analyze the research data. The results indicate that social influence, work and performance expectations, and attitude toward digital entrepreneurship positively influence the use of social media for technology-based entrepreneurial activities. Moreover, the paper unveiled that the provision of digital entrepreneurship education and the utilization of social media for commercial purposes had a beneficial influence on behavior that is predisposed toward technology. The present study demonstrates that the adoption of social media functions as a mediator in the association between digital entrepreneurship education and the adoption of social media, therefore exerting an impact on technology-based entrepreneurial behavior.

Indonesia’s insurance sector faces governance challenges, including low market penetration, financial instability, and declining public trust. This study examines the impact of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) mechanisms, including the Independent Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors, Audit Committee, and Institutional Ownership, along with Firm Size, on profitability, measured by Return on Equity (ROE). Using multiple linear regression, the study analyzes 240 financial reports from 15 publicly listed Indonesian insurance firms (2020–2023). The findings indicate that most governance mechanisms, including the Independent Board of Commissioners, Audit Committee, and Institutional Ownership, do not significantly affect profitability. However, the Board of Directors negatively influences business performance, suggesting potential inefficiencies or governance constraints. Conversely, Firm Size positively affects profitability, highlighting the advantage of economies of scale. This suggests that structural governance alone is insufficient for profitability without accompanying firm-level strategic advantages. These outcomes imply that Indonesian insurance firms may be over-relying on compliance-based governance without leveraging it for performance gains. Strengthening the strategic capabilities of governance actors could turn oversight mechanisms into profitability drivers.
