The rapid growth of e-commerce has transformed consumer purchasing behavior in online environments, particularly under conditions of information asymmetry and transaction uncertainty. In such contexts, consumers increasingly rely on online customer reviews, online customer ratings, platform convenience, and marketplace trust as evaluative cues in making purchase decisions. This study aimed to examine the influence of online customer reviews, online customer ratings, convenience, and trust on purchase decisions among university students using the Shopee application in Purwokerto. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed, involving 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The respondents were students who had completed at least two purchases on Shopee within the previous six months. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that online customer reviews, online customer ratings, convenience, and trust each have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions. Among these variables, convenience emerged as the most influential determinant of purchasing behavior. The coefficient of determination indicates that the four independent variables collectively explain 77.7% of the variance in purchase decisions. The study concludes that information quality, platform usability, and consumer trust are critical factors shaping online purchasing decisions in e-commerce environments. These findings contribute to the literature on digital consumer behavior by demonstrating the combined role of informational, functional, and relational factors in purchase decision-making, while offering practical implications for e-commerce platforms to optimize review and rating systems, improve user convenience, and strengthen consumer trust to sustain competitiveness in the digital marketplace.
This study aims to examine the influence of entrepreneurship education and perceived economic opportunities on students’ entrepreneurial decisions through risk-taking behavior as a mediating variable. This research integrates the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Behavioral Finance Theory (BFT) to explain how knowledge, opportunity perception, and psychological attitudes toward risk shape entrepreneurial decision-making among students. A quantitative approach was employed using a structured questionnaire distributed to university students in Semarang City who had participated in entrepreneurship courses. A total of 104 valid responses were analyzed using SEM-PLS, with respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique based on specific research criteria. The results indicate that entrepreneurship education and perceived economic opportunities have positive and significant effects on students’ risk-taking behavior. Furthermore, risk-taking behavior significantly influences students’ entrepreneurial decisions. The analysis also confirms that risk-taking behavior partially mediates the relationship between entrepreneurship education, perceived economic opportunities, and students’ entrepreneurial decisions. These findings highlight that entrepreneurial decisions among students are influenced not only by entrepreneurial knowledge and opportunity recognition but also by psychological readiness to take risks in uncertain economic conditions.
The high cost of commercial feed is a major constraint in rabbit farming and encourages the use of local protein-rich forages such as Indigofera sp. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of substituting commercial concentrate with fresh Indigofera sp. leaves on the average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of male Rex rabbits. Twenty male Rex rabbits (± 2 months old, initial body weight ± 1 kg) were arranged in a completely randomized design with four treatments and five replications: P0 (100% concentrate + 0% Indigofera), P1 (85% + 15%), P2 (70% + 30%), and P3 (55% + 45%) on a dry-matter basis, and reared for 27 days. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance. Substitution of concentrate with fresh Indigofera sp. leaves up to 45% had no significant effect (P>0.05) on ADG (F-value = 1.08) or FCR (F-value = 2.66). Mean ADG ranged from 3.70 to 6.30 g/head/day and tended to decrease with increasing substitution level, whereas FCR ranged from 8.27 to 44.42 and tended to increase. Fresh Indigofera sp. leaves can replace part of the concentrate up to 45% without significantly reducing the growth of Rex rabbits, although feeding Indigofera in meal or pellet form is recommended to improve palatability and feed efficiency.
This study aims to examine the effects of entrepreneurship education and green economy literacy on sustainable entrepreneurial intention, with self-efficacy as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed using purposive sampling involving 128 university students in Jakarta who had completed or were enrolled in entrepreneurship courses. Data were collected using multi-item instruments adapted from previous entrepreneurship and sustainability studies and measured on a five-point Likert scale. Measurement adequacy was established through outer loadings ≥0.70, AVE ≥0.50, Cronbach’s Alpha and Composite Reliability ≥0.70, and the Fornell–Larcker criterion. Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS with 5,000 bootstrap resamples. The results show that entrepreneurship education (β = 0.381) and green economy literacy (β = 0.426) significantly enhance self-efficacy, while self-efficacy significantly increases sustainable entrepreneurial intention (β = 0.548). Self-efficacy significantly mediates the relationships between entrepreneurship education, green economy literacy, and sustainable entrepreneurial intention (β = 0.222, p < 0.001). Universities should embed green literacy into entrepreneurship curricula through sustainability case studies, green business projects, and incubation and mentoring activities designed to provide practical mastery experiences and strengthen students’ self-efficacy for sustainable entrepreneurship.
This article examines the constitutional and fiscal implications of licensing centralization under Indonesia’s Job Creation Law. The reform aims to simplify business licensing through the Online Single Submission Risk-Based Approach (OSS-RBA), yet it also reallocates substantial licensing discretion from regional governments to the national government. This study asks whether such reallocation is consistent with the constitutional guarantee of regional autonomy and how it affects regional fiscal capacity. Using a doctrinal legal method and a quantitative comparative fiscal-panel design, the article analyses the 1945 Constitution, the Job Creation Law, Law No. 23 of 2014 on Regional Government, relevant Constitutional Court decisions, and PAD data from all 38 Indonesian provinces for 2023–2025. The findings show that licensing centralization creates doctrinal tension by separating regional responsibility from regional authority. Empirically, aggregate provincial PAD increased from 2023 to 2025, and the declines in Papua and Papua Barat are more plausibly associated with the 2022 Papua redistricting than with licensing centralization alone. The Cilacap vignette further shows that regional responses are conditional and shaped by fiscal pressure. The article contributes by framing licensing centralization not merely as administrative reform, but as a constitutional issue requiring regulatory harmonization, meaningful regional participation, and fiscal safeguards in Indonesia.
