Despite its growth, Indonesia’s startup industry struggles with high failure rates; this industry relies on employee productivity and promoting new work methods that reshape modern workplaces. The study aims to examine the impact of new ways of working on employee productivity and work engagement in Indonesian unicorn startups post-pandemic while also observing the current situation using importance-performance analysis. The data analysis uses structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS) and Smart-PLS software. This study analyzes survey data from 56 leaders of Indonesian unicorn startups. It delves into the complex relationships between these variables based on the leaders’ perspectives. According to the findings, new ways of working impact employee productivity (β = 0.521; p-value < 0.05), new ways of working impact work engagement (β = 0.856; p-value < 0.05), work engagement impact employee productivity (β = 0.379; p-value < 0.05), and new ways of working impact employee productivity through work engagement (β = 0.325; p-value < 0.05). The findings indicate that new ways of working significantly affect work engagement and productivity. It also identifies work engagement as a key driver of employee productivity. Interestingly, the effect of new ways of working on employee performance is also mediated by work engagement, highlighting the relationship between these factors.

Innovative Marketing Volume 17, 2021 Issue #3 pp. 17-29 Views: 4524 Downloads: 1730 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe risk of virus contracting during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed consumer preference for online shopping to meet their daily needs than shopping in brick-and-mortar stores. Online shopping presents a different environment, atmosphere, and experience. The possibility of ethical violations is higher during online than face-to-face transactions. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the influence of perceived health risk and customer perception of online retail ethics on consumer online shopping behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, involving seven variables, namely perceived health risk, security, privacy, non-deception, reliability fulfillment, service recovery, and online shopping behavior. The data were collected through an online survey by employing the purposive sampling technique to a consumer who has shopped online during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. 315 valid responses were obtained and analyzed through quantitative method using SEM-Amos. The results showed that perceived health risk and four variables of online retail ethics including security, privacy, reliability fulfillment, and service recovery affected online shopping behavior. Meanwhile, non-deception was found to have an insignificant effect. The coefficient value proved perceived health risk to be more dominant in influencing online shopping behavior than the variables of online retail ethics. Thus, consumers pay more concern for their health during online shopping. However, positive consumer perceptions of the behavior of online retail websites in providing services also can encourage consumers to shop online during this pandemic.

Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 18, 2020 Issue #1 pp. 107-118 Views: 3570 Downloads: 852 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯHuman resource management (HRM) is one of the elements enabling an organization to remain competitive in turbulence conditions. The effective practice of HRM makes competent and innovative employees contributing to the achievement of organizational objectives. This study aims to analyze HRM practices in creating innovation and organizational performance. The questionnaire was used to measure the respondents’ perceptions of variables used by a Likert scale. A survey of 126 manager samples and middle managers at export-oriented short and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bali, Indonesia, was conducted to test the model. The analysis has shown that the proposed model was proven to be compliant with the research hypotheses. HRM significantly affects organizational performance and innovation, and it was found out that innovation can improve organizational performance. However, in the process of simultaneous testing, it was found out that innovation cannot improve organizational performance. The lack of attention to investments in human resources became one of the barriers to SMEs in creating innovation.

Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 16, 2018 Issue #2 pp. 145-154 Views: 3345 Downloads: 1121 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThis research reveals the factors explaining the purchase intention toward green products among young consumers. Young consumers are beginner consumers who are going to play an important role to take a responsibility in preserving the environment. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is selected as the main theoretical framework in this research alongside some other variables (environmental concern, environmental knowledge, and willingness to pay), which are added in the research model to expand TPB application. Three hundred and twenty-six respondents were interviewed through a survey and the data are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
The findings illustrated that not every explanatory variable influenced the purchase intention toward green products among young consumers. Environmental concern and attitude did not influence the purchase intention toward green products among young consumers.
