How do personal resources sustain career resilience under employment uncertainty? A conservation of resources perspective

Fairuzzabadi Fairuzzabadi, Syarifah Rahmawati — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose – This study examines how interdependent personal resource systems, human capital, social capital, positive psychological capital, and spiritual capital collectively sustain career resilience under conditions of persistent employment uncertainty, drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory.
Design/methodology/approach – This study employed a quantitative design, collecting survey data from 366 working professionals in a collectivist cultural setting and analyzing the data using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The study evaluates the relative and combined effects of multiple personal resources on career resilience.
Findings – All four forms of personal resources positively contribute to career resilience, with positive psychological capital exerting the most substantial effect. The results demonstrate that career resilience is not driven by isolated resources but by coordinated resource portfolios that mitigate cumulative resource loss, consistent with COR theory’s resource investment and gain–loss dynamics.
Research limitations/implications – The study relies on cross-sectional, convenience-based data, limiting causal inference and generalizability. Future research should adopt longitudinal designs and examine mediating and moderating mechanisms within personal resource systems to extend COR-based career resilience models.
Practical implications – Organizations and policymakers should move beyond single-resource interventions and adopt integrated development strategies that simultaneously enhance psychological, relational, skill-based, and meaning-oriented resources to foster sustainable career resilience.
Originality/value – This study enhances career resilience theory by applying COR theory in a career context, integrating spiritual capital into resilience research, and providing cross-cultural evidence that challenges individualist assumptions in dominant career models

A vulnerability management model for enhancing security governance capability in SMEs

Anita Wijayanti, Massila Kamalrudin, Kartika Hendra Titisari, Werner R Murhadi — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose – This study aims to develop a vulnerability management model to enhance security capability in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly in safeguarding accounting data under resource constraints
Design/Methodology/Approach – This study employs a qualitative multi-case research design involving six SMEs in Surakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis. Using inductive comparative logic and cross-case thematic analysis, the study identifies recurring governance patterns and develops a context-sensitive vulnerability management model grounded in empirical evidence across varying levels of resource constraints.
Findings – The findings reveal that vulnerability management effectiveness in SMEs is shaped by the integration of governance structures, managerial coordination, and organizational learning rather than by technological capability alone. The study identifies three distinct governance configurations across SMEs under varying levels of resource constraints: reactive centralization, vendor-dependent compliance, and institutionalized adaptive governance. The proposed model consists of four interconnected components: identification and detection, evaluation and prioritization, managerial decision integration, and HR awareness and continuous learning. These components operate through a continuous feedback mechanism that strengthens adaptive security governance and organizational resilience.
Research Limitations and Implications – This study is limited to six SME cases in Surakarta, Indonesia, which may restrict broader generalizability across industries and regions. Future research may apply quantitative or mixed-method approaches to validate and extend the proposed model across different organizational and institutional contexts.
Practical implications – The study provides a practical and cost-efficient framework for SMEs to strengthen accounting data security through structured vulnerability management, risk-based prioritization, internal governance coordination, and continuous security awareness practices.
Originality/Value – This study positions vulnerability management as a governance-oriented and learning-based organizational capability shaped by resource conditions, managerial integration, and adaptive organizational practices. The proposed model offers a context-sensitive approach for strengthening sustainable accounting data security governance in SMEs.

Does CEO popularity affect climate change disclosure? Evidence from Indonesian firms

Budi Chandra, Mariska Ramadana, Robin Robin, Melysa Melysa, Surny Surny — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose – This study examines the effect of CEO popularity, including celebrity CEO (CELEB) and star CEO (STAR) on climate change disclosure (CCD) in Indonesian firms.
Design/methodology/approach – This study analyzes data from 2020 to 2023, sourced from companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), and applies several statistical methods, including data panel regression to examine the relationship between CELEB and STAR to CCD, coarsened exact matching (CEM) to reduce selection bias, generalized least squares (GLS) to address heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation, and the two-stage Heckman model to mitigate endogeneity arising from sample selection bias. We further conducted a comparative analysis between firms led by STAR and NON-STAR to investigate whether the impact of CEO characteristics differs across the two groups.
Findings – The empirical results show that both measures of CEO popularity are positively and significantly associated with the level of CCD. Firms led by CELEB or STAR consistently exhibit higher CCD scores compared firms led by less prominent executives. This finding indicates that CEO popularity is a meaningful explanatory factor in explaining cross-sectional variation in CCD.
Research limitations/implications – This study is limited by proxy-based measures of CEO popularity, a short observation period, and its focus on Indonesian listed firms without industry-level analysis. Future research may examine broader sustainability dimensions, explore different institutional contexts, or use qualitative approaches to better understand CEOs’ perceptions of their public image in relation to environmental responsibility.
Practical implications – This implies that companies can leverage CEO reputation to improve CCD and meet stakeholder expectations, while regulators may consider promoting disclosure practices that utilize executive visibility as a driver of corporate sustainability.
Originality/value – This study addresses a relatively underexplored area by examining the impact of CEO popularity, as manifested through CELEB and STAR status, on CCD in Indonesia. This study makes a pioneering contribution to the literature on corporate sustainability by examining executive reputation as a driver of CCD in emerging markets.

Loyalty in halal tourism: The roles of sharia-compliant service quality, Islamic experience, and religiosity

Andhi Sukma, Desy Oktaviani, Ifa Latifah — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose – This study examines how Sharia-Compliant Service Quality (SCSQ) and Islamic Experience (IE) shape Muslim tourist loyalty in halal tourism through Trust (TR), Perceived Value (PV), and Satisfaction (SAT).
Design/methodology/approach – Survey data were collected from Muslim tourists who had visited Lombok and experienced halal tourism services. The final cleaned sample respondents. The data were analyzed using PLS-SEM, including measurement model assessment, discriminant validity checks, bootstrapping, mediation testing, moderation analysis, control-variable analysis, and Importance–Performance Map Analysis (IPMA).
Findings – The refined model shows that SCSQ significantly enhances IE, and IE significantly strengthens TR, PV, and SAT. However, TR, PV, SAT, IE, and SCSQ do not directly translate into Tourist Loyalty. The proposed indirect effects of IE on Tourist Loyalty through TR, PV, and SAT are also not supported. Religiosity negatively moderates the relationship between SCSQ and IEits moderating effect on the relationship between IE and Tourist Loyalty is not significant at the 5% level. These findings indicate that positive halal service and experiential evaluations may be necessary but insufficient to generate loyalty in a halal tourism destination.
Research limitations/implications – The cross-sectional and single-destination design limits causal inference and generalisability. Future research should use longitudinal and multi-destination designs to compare halal tourism contexts with different levels of destination maturity and examine more loyalty mechanisms.
Practical implications – Halal tourism managers should move beyond technical compliance by creating authentic, credible, emotionally meaningful, and differentiated Islamic tourism experiences that strengthen tourists’ confidence, perceived value, and destination relevance.
Originality/value – This study refines halal tourism loyalty research by showing Sharia-compliant service quality enhances Islamic experience and internal evaluations. However, these mechanisms alone tourist loyalty.

From status to emotion: What drives Apple brand love and willingness to pay?

Rafidianto Wibisono, Nofrizal Nofrizal, Hammam Zaki, Arizal N — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose – This study addresses the limited empirical evidence regarding how psychological and social factors influence brand love and willingness to pay (WTP) for premium technology brands such as Apple. Previous studies have primarily focused on functional and quality-based determinants of consumer loyalty, while the roles of social status, Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), and hedonism in shaping emotional attachment and willingness to pay remain insufficiently explored. Therefore, this study investigates how these factors collectively influence consumers’ brand love and willingness to pay for Apple products.
Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative survey approach was employed to collect data from 654 Apple consumers. The data were subsequently analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software.
Finding – The findings indicate that social status, FoMO, and hedonism significantly influence consumers’ brand love and willingness to pay for Apple products. However, social status did not have a significant effect on brand love, while FoMO did not directly influence willingness to pay. In addition, brand love and hedonism played important mediating roles in explaining consumers’ premium purchasing behavior.
Research limitation/implications – This study employed a quantitative survey of Apple users in Indonesia; therefore, the findings cannot be generalized to other cultural or market contexts, nor can causal relationships be established. In addition, the study focused only on social status, FoMO, and hedonism without considering other potential factors or changes in consumer behavior over time.
Practical implication – Apple should strengthen its exclusive brand image through limited edition offerings, premium collaborations, partnerships with luxury influencers, and personalized consumer experiences to enhance customer loyalty and perceived value.
Originality/value – The novelty of this study lies in its examination of psychological factors namely social status, FoMO, and hedonism as determinants of brand love and willingness to pay for the Apple brand, with hedonism acting as a rarely explored mediating variable.

The dark side of empowering leadership: Hindrance stressors and moral disengagement as pathways to unethical pro-organizational behaviour

Annisa Fajri, Suharnomo Suharnomo, Indi Djastuti — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose – This study examines the conditional association between empowering leadership and unethical pro-organizational behaviour (UPB). Drawing on Social Cognitive Theory, it investigates whether moral disengagement statistically accounts for this association and whether hindrance stressors condition the association between empowering leadership and moral disengagement.
Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected through a cross-sectional online survey of 500 employees working in Indonesian digital start-ups. The proposed first-stage moderated mediation model was tested using PROCESS Model 7 for SPSS with 5,000 bootstrap resamples and 95% bootstrap confidence intervals.
Findings – Empowering leadership was positively associated with moral disengagement, and this association became stronger as hindrance stressors increased. Moral disengagement was positively associated with UPB, while the direct association between empowering leadership and UPB remained statistically significant. The conditional indirect association was positive at all examined levels of hindrance stressors and became progressively stronger as those stressors increased. The positive index of moderated mediation supported an amplification rather than a reversal pattern (index = 0.0897, 95% BootCI [0.0674, 0.1124]).
Research limitations/implications – The cross-sectional, single-source design does not establish temporal or causal ordering and may be affected by common method bias. Convenience and social-media-based recruitment may also introduce sampling and self-selection biases, limiting representativeness and generalizability.
Practical implications – Organizations should accompany employee empowerment with clear ethical boundaries, adequate structural support, and efforts to reduce obstructive workplace demands. These recommendations should be interpreted as precautionary considerations rather than causally established interventions.
Originality/value – The study provides a contextual replication and boundary-pattern extension of prior research. It refines understanding of a boundary condition by finding an amplification pattern in a non-Western digital start-up setting rather than proposing a new mechanism.
