This study aims to examine the forms of victim blaming in online news coverage of sexual harassment cases in higher education and analyze the extent to which the news patterns affect readers’ perceptions of victims.

The research used a mixed method that combined qualitative and quantitative methods through a sequential exploratory design model. The text of the news coverage of sexual harassment cases in higher education published in online media was analyzed using the discourse analysis model. The survey was conducted among 300 university students in Indonesia, who were selected using the cluster sampling method.

Many news reports in online media still use approaches that implicitly or explicitly indicate victim blaming in cases of sexual violence. There are three common types of victim blaming found in media reporting on sexual violence: seeking attention, passive behavior and being unalert. Findings show that although students, as readers, show a significant tendency to blame victims of sexual harassment after reading the news excerpts provided. This shows that reporting on sexual harassment, which is categorized as leading to victim blaming, has been proven to make readers blame the victim in the context of the sexual harassment case.

This study can provide recommendations for fairer and more sensitive reporting toward victims, as well as raising awareness of the importance of supporting victims of sexual harassment.

This study identifies forms of victim blaming in the news and analyzes how these patterns affect readers’ perceptions. Previous research has not studied this combination of analysis.

This study aims to investigate the language features (framing analysis) used in reporting climate change issues in online media and their potential effect on triggering reader apathy.

The research adopts a mixed-method approach, combining discourse analysis and survey. The data for this research is derived from news articles published between 2023 and 2024 in Indonesia’s three largest online media platforms. The Apathy Evaluation Scale assessed 305 people’s apathetic attitudes toward climate change.

The findings reveal that many respondents exhibit moderate apathy toward climate change issues. The research establishes a correlation between the frequency of news consumption and apathetic attitudes toward climate change. The findings identify four aspects that are likely to contribute to triggering apathetic behavior among readers of online media reporting on climate change: the dominant focus of the news, the explanation of potential impacts of climate change, contextual factors and the clarity of information sources.

This study offers valuable recommendations for policymakers and relevant organizations, empowering them to develop effective educational initiatives and formulate impactful climate change reporting strategies in mass media. These findings can motivate action and change, ensuring a more informed and engaged public.

More research is still needed on framing analysis of reporting on climate change issues in online media using language framing theory. The findings of this research have the potential to make a substantial contribution to the advancement of science, particularly in linking language and the environment.

In the highly competitive sector of state-owned enterprises in Indonesia, particularly within the electricity group, innovation is crucial for sustainability and growth. This study investigates the impact of transformational leadership and knowledge management on innovation performance, emphasizing the mediating role of innovation capability.

Employing a quantitative approach, this research focuses on the upper management of 11 companies, gathering data from 196 out of 280 surveyed individuals through structured questionnaires. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized for analysis.

Our analysis reveals a dual role of transformational leadership; while it significantly enhances innovation capability, it unexpectedly detracts from innovation performance. Conversely, knowledge management boosts both innovation capability and performance. Significantly, innovation capability serves as a crucial mediator, amplifying the effects of both transformational leadership and knowledge management on innovation performance. These results highlight complex interdependencies within organizational leadership and knowledge frameworks.

These findings can guide organizations in refining leadership and knowledge management strategies to bolster innovation. By enhancing transformational leadership skills, implementing robust knowledge management systems and fostering innovation capabilities, companies can better navigate the complexities of the modern market. The adaptation of these strategies should consider specific organizational cultures and market dynamics to optimize performance.

This research extends the resource-based view (RBV) by detailing the interplay between key organizational variables, offering fresh insights into their collective impact on innovation within the context of state-owned enterprises in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze Islamic financial institutions’ (IFIs) current financial engineering and product development procedures.

The paper is quantitative in nature and the survey questionnaire were collected from managers and IF experts working for Islamic Banks, Takaful and other IFIs in Turkey, Malaysia and UAE. Two-stage structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesis.

The findings highlighted that the Shari’ah Supervisory Board, Strategy and Planning of IFIs, Legal and Regulatory framework, pricing of a new product and financial performance positively impact the new product development (NPD) process. At the same time, Islamic values have no significant positive impact.

When generalizing the research results, data collection from the right departments was the main limitation of the current study. Future research may opt to collect data only from Product Development Departments.

The findings of this study will allow IFIs to reflect on their present methods, procedures and Shari’ah compliance framework for the NPD process.

Factors affecting the product development and financial engineering process are discussed in the literature. The findings of this study can be regarded as building blocks for future academic research on product development and financial engineering in Islamic finance.

This study aims to analyze translanguaging practices and beliefs of Iranian English for General Purposes (EGP) teachers and find discrepancies between the practice and perception of educators in bi/multilingual species in Iranian educational settings.

The study involved interviewing ten teachers and observing six of their sessions, which yielded qualitative data.

The results showed that the participating teachers produced recurring themes such as the significance and limitations of translanguaging, techniques for training multilingual learners and the restrictions imposed by policies that discourage the use of L1 in language institutes in Iran. A noteworthy observation made in this investigation was that educators who possessed competency in three or more languages exhibited greater endorsement of translanguaging in both their perceptions and practices.

This study has significant implications for instructors, teacher trainers and policymakers operating within multilingual environments. It serves as a pioneering study that invites a productive synergy between Western and Asian researchers in exploring bi/multilingual spaces within Asian educational contexts.

This study brings a fresh perspective to the current body of research on teacher agency in bi/multilingual educational settings. By utilizing qualitative methods, it offers unique and original insights. Particularly noteworthy is the discovery that educators who are proficient in three or more languages are more inclined to support translanguaging. This observation adds a distinctive understanding of translanguaging in language education. It opens up new possibilities for exploring the application and efficacy of the translanguaging approach in Asian bi/multilingual spaces in education.

Rapid development in modern technologies has led to the transformation of global marketing strategies. Concerned stakeholders are also trying to alter the course of sustainable activities to exploit the marketing opportunities available in the digital world. Green gamification platforms have been developed and are being espoused by brands to enhance their image and support the sustainable development entrenched in users’ engagement with international brands. These platforms can transform consumers’ cognitive learning and decisions; however, their probable role is not explored in this context. A framework based on behavioural reasoning theory and value consumption theory is proposed to investigate associations of gamification value, cognitive reasoning factors, engagement and contextual boundary elements.

Partial least square structural equation modelling was applied to the data of 413 players, which were collected using a cross-sectional approach from qualified respondents.

Results indicate that gamification value inspires consumer engagement, with international brands and augments environmental consciousness; however, it also originates environmental complacency, but complacency does not significantly impact consumer engagement contrary to environmental consciousness. Besides, the interaction of a status-seeking lifestyle supplements environmental complacency and lessens the impression of environmental consciousness. The perceived sustainable image significantly enhances the influence of environmental consciousness towards consumer brand engagement, which is divergent from complacency.

This study offers implications for brands to utilize the digital uprising of gamification effectively in international markets. It proposes to transform the marketing strategies to bolster consumers’ engagement with international brands through gamification marketing strategies. This can help to achieve sustainable development goals worldwide more effectively.

This study examines farmers’ intention to adopt digital payment (DP) in the mountainous regions of northern Vietnam, employing the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), self-efficacy theory and herd behavior theory.

This research used partial least square-SEM (PLS-SEM) with orthogonalizing approach to examine farmers’ adoption intention to adopt DP.

This research found that factors such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions emerge as significant drivers of farmers’ intention to adopt DP. Moreover, our findings highlight the substantial impact of herd behavior and imitation self-efficacy on farmers’ adoption intentions, illustrating their tendency to emulate the actions of others. Notably, DP self-efficacy emerges as a critical determinant, influencing farmers’ adoption intentions both directly and indirectly through performance and effort expectancies.

Performance expectancy was used to represent DP benefits, which should be divided into economic and non-economic aspects. Imitation behavior and imitation self-efficacy were self-reported, potentially leading to overestimation due to self-image concerns. Hence, future research may consider using performance-based tests to measure herding behavior and imitation self-efficacy.

This study makes a distinct contribution to existing literature by incorporating imitation self-efficacy, thereby expanding the framework of self-efficacy theory in the context of DP adoption.

This study aims to determine the intention of online cash waqf donations among Indonesian Muslim youth for micro enterprises (MEs) financing. Therefore, the contribution of Muslim youth in supporting MEs can be accelerated to solve some interrelated social and economic issues.

This study integrates the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the technology acceptance model (TAM) partially relevant to research characteristics. A questionnaire survey is used as a data collection approach to acquire responses from 180 Indonesian Muslim youth. The data obtained are analysed using smart partial least squares-structural equation modelling to answer the research hypothesis and obtain conclusions.

Religiosity, awareness and perceived behavioural control are significant factors determining the intention to donate online cash waqf for MEs financing. Religiosity plays an important role in building attitudes and perceived awareness of Muslim youth’s behaviour and intention to donate online cash waqf for MEs financing.

The analysed factors could be used as guidelines for better planning and implementing digital-based cash waqf marketing strategies for Nazir (waqf institutions). Regulators (Government and National Waqf Board) must provide better regulations for digital waqf platforms and policies for cash waqf financing for MEs. Researchers could investigate the other theory and cash waqf financing model in low-risk MEs’ empowerment. This study will also broaden cash waqf literacy for MEs financing.

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no previous study addressed the intention of Muslim youth in Indonesia towards online cash waqf to empower MEs. This study develops models by combining TPB and TAM with additional constructs to determine the intention to donate online cash waqf for MEs financing that have been experiencing difficulties accessing banking financing.

The use of electronic money (eMoney) as a noncash payment method is gaining popularity globally. However, the usages of eMoney are culturally influenced and can vary within a country. These cultural disparities can result in divergent patterns of eMoney adoption and use. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing the adoption and use of eMoney in Indonesia. This study integrated the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model with Hofstede’s cultural dimensions to develop a framework examining both technological and cultural perspectives.

Data was collected through an online survey of 484 Indonesians and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling.

The results showed that the constructs of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model, namely, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions, all had a significant impact on behavioral intention to adopt eMoney as well as actual usage. However, not all of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions moderated these relationships as hypothesized. Surprisingly, masculinity/femininity and power distance emerged as important moderators of eMoney usage.

This integrated model provides valuable insights into how to consider cultural influences when designing strategies to promote new payment technologies in Indonesia. The findings point to both technological and cultural factors shaping patterns of adoption and use of eMoney in the country.

Although many research has looked at how culture affects the acceptability of technology in banking, few studies have looked at how culture affects the use of mobile money. This study offers a valuable contribution by investigating how Indonesian culture moderates the relationship between behavioral intentions and actual use of eMoney. The findings provide guidance for practitioners seeking to facilitate eMoney services in developing markets by elucidating the cultural factors that most influence customer adoption. As such, this research fills an important gap regarding the understudied domain of mobile money and its intersection with national culture.

The online learning environment is a function of dynamic market forces constantly restructuring the e-learning landscape’s complete ecosystemcape. This study aims to propose an e-learning framework by integrating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to predict students’ Online Learning Readiness and Behaviour.

A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 406 students through a survey. The data were analysed using two-stage structural equation modelling and artificial neural network (ANN).

The study’s results revealed that perceived ubiquity (PUB) positively influences perceived ease of use, usefulness and attitude. Similarly, perceived mobility significantly influences perceived ease of use and attitude. Furthermore, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and perceived usefulness significantly influence readiness to learn online, which further influences students’ online learning behaviour. The root-mean-square error (RMSE) values obtained from the ANN analysis indicate the models’ predictive solid accuracy.

The study contributes to the existing literature by proposing an Online Learning Behaviour Model by integrating the TAM and the TPB frameworks in association with two additional constructs, PUB and Perceived Mobility. Secondly, this study proposes a unique triangulation framework of recommendations for learners, educators and policymakers.
