<p><em>In order to achieve positive performance growth in this era of global competition, Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) must have sustainable competitive advantages. Competitive advantages can be obtainedif SME have Valuable, Rare, Inimitable and Non-substitutable (VRIN) resources. Therefore this research aimed to study the effects of VRIN resources to competitive advantages and performance. The subjects of this study was 187 SMEs listed in Cooperation Office and SME of Medan. Using path analysis, the obtained result shows that rareness gave direct effects to performance and in-immitable gave indirect effects to performance through competitive advantages as intervening.</em></p><em>Keywords: VRIN, competitive advantage, performance, small medium enterprises</em>
Research aims: This study aims to analyze the effect of organizational support and emotional intelligence on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) through employee organizational commitment.Design/Methodology/Approach: This research was conducted in the Central Bureau of Statistics in Medan City with a population of 100 permanent partner employees. Using non-probability sampling, the entire population became the research sample. Meanwhile, the analysis technique employed path analysis.Research findings: The results proved that organizational support and emotional intelligence had a significant effect directly on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and indirectly through employees' organizational commitment. In other words, increased organizational support and emotional intelligence of employees will intensify the level of employee organizational commitment, raising the level of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and vice versa. In this case, organizational support strongly predicts employees’ high organizational commitment. Theoretical contribution/Originality: Further research that explores other predictors needs to be carried out with more significant respondents to generalize the findings better.Practitioner/Policy implication: It is essential to provide more intensive organizational support to employees since this variable is a strong organizational predictor of generating a superior level of employee organizational commitment. Organizations also need to conduct in-depth personality tests to detect the level of individual emotional intelligence of employees who work in the field and interact with the community for better work effectiveness.Research limitation/Implication: The limited number of population and samples in the agency is a limitation of the study to generalize the findings better.
Abstrak. Tuntutan revolusi industri merubah tatanan dalam berbagai bidang, baik ekonomi, social dan pendidikan khususnya. Penerapan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi menjadi ciri utama pada era digital ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi mahasiswa dalam berwirausaha melalui pembelajaran berbasis projek berbantuan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi. Penelitian menggunakan disain eksperimen dengan membagi tiga kelompok responden yakni kelompok pembelajaran konvensional (X0) sebagai kelompok kontrol dan dua kelompok eksperimen yakni pembelajaran berbasis projek (X1) dan pembelajaran berbasis projek berbantuan TIK (X2). Analisis data menggunakan teknik komparasi dengan Oneway-Anova. Hasil Penelitian membuktikan bahwa pembelajaran kewirausahaan berbasis projek lebih efektif dibanding pembelajaran dengan pendekatan konvensional, dan pembelajaran berbasis projek berbantuan TIK lebih unggul dari pembelajaran berbasis projek (µ2> µ1> µ0). Temuan penelitian ini memperkuat penelitan terdahulu dan merekomendasikan pemanfaatan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi dalam pembelajaran khususnya dalam bidang kewirausahaan. Kompetensi hasil belajar akan lebih tinggi pada pembelajaran berbasis projek berbantuan TIK dibanding model pembelajaran lainnya, seiring dengan tuntutan perilaku bisnis dan kewirausahaan di era digital saat ini.Kata kunci: Kewirausahaan, PBL, TIK Abstract. The demands of the industrial revolution changed the order in various fields, both economic, social, and education in particular. The application of information and communication technology is the main characteristic of this digital era. This study aims to improve student competence in entrepreneurship through project-based learning assisted by information and communication technology. The study used an experimental design by dividing three groups of respondents namely the conventional learning group (X0) as the control group and the two experimental groups namely project-based learning (X1) and ICT-assisted project-based learning (X2). Data analysis uses a comparison technique with Oneway-Anova. The research results prove that project-based entrepreneurship learning is more effective than learning with conventional approaches, and ICT-assisted project-based learning is superior to project-based learning (µ2> µ1> µ0). The findings of this study strengthen previous research and recommend using information and communication technology in learning, especially in the field of entrepreneurship. Learning outcomes competence will be higher in ICT-assisted project-based learning compared to other learning models, in line with the demands of business and entrepreneurial behavior in the current digital era.Keywords: Entrepreneurship, PBL, ICT
