In fact, many have yet to achieve success in the aftermath of the pandemic. Drawing from Social Cognitive Theory and existing literature, this study aimed to investigate self-efficacy, digital adoption, social persuasion, and passion for work as factors influencing entrepreneurial business success, with self-efficacy proposed as a mediator of the relationships between the other factors and entrepreneurial business success. Employing a cross-sectional survey technique, a questionnaire was distributed via email to 250 micro-entrepreneurs in West Java, Indonesia. Of these, 174 responded, and 160 datasets were suitable for further analysis. Multiple regression results derived from SmartPLS 3 indicate that all the proposed variables significantly influence both self-efficacy and entrepreneurial business success. Moreover, the findings demonstrate that self-efficacy acts as a mediator between the examined factors and entrepreneurial business success. These discoveries offer valuable insights for policymakers, poverty alleviation organizations, and researchers in developing strategies and intervention programs for entrepreneurial business growth. Thus, these findings align with the goals of the Indonesian government and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals to cultivate resilient and competitive micro-entrepreneurs, striving towards a zero-poverty nation by 2030.

Did RSPO Overlook the Unwelcome Thoughts Amongst Growers and Millers? /jurnalpengurusan/article/did-rspo-overlook-the-unwelcome-thoughts-amongst-growers-and-millers/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=did-rspo-overlook-the-unwelcome-thoughts-amongst-growers-and-millers Sat, 08 Oct 2022 17:14:29 +0000 /jurnalpengurusan/?post_type=article&p=3224 This study examined the relationship between knowledge, past experience and personal value of growers and millers intention to adopt the RSPO. This study applied the theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to test the proposed relationship. This research applies a quantitative approach that uses a cross-sectional questionnaire survey in order to test the proposed hypotheses. A total of 122 palm oil companies in Sabah, Malaysia were identified and collected data were analysed using the partial least squares and structural equation modelling. The findings of this study confirmed the Theory of Planned Behaviour as a great predictor of behavioural intention. In addition, knowledge, past experience and personal value were also found to have significant relationship and this resulted into the conclusion that knowledge, past experience and personal value positively influence the attitude amongst growers and millers towards RSPO. The result of this study has proven that the TPB model is a valuable, practical and has a high potential to predict human behavioural intention.
