PurposeThis research seeks to simultaneously test the effect of attitude towards the behavior of following the “Stay at Home” policy, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, perceived susceptibility and perceived severity on people's intention to follow the “Stay at Home” policy during COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected through an online survey with 148 respondents in the Greater Area of Jakarta, Indonesia. The data were then analyzed using multiple regressions.FindingsThe findings show that attitude towards the behavior, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control positively and significantly affect intention to follow “Stay at Home” during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, perceived susceptibility and perceived severity of COVID-19 do not significantly influence the intention to follow “Stay at Home” during the COVID-19 pandemic.Research limitations/implicationsThis research was limited to the Greater Area of Jakarta, Indonesia. Furthermore, sampling was done through convenience sampling. Therefore, future research should be conducted in a different context to test the generalization of this research's findings.Practical implicationsTo encourage citizens' adherence to the stay-at-home policy during the COVID-19 pandemic, they must be directed to have positive attitudes toward the policy. Financial and non-financial supports are critical to ensure citizens' ability to sufficiently observe the policy sufficiently. Another important aspect is the influence of leaders and public figures to consistently call for obedience consistently.Originality/valueThis is the first research that studies citizens' behavior related to the “Stay at Home” policy requisitioned by the government to hinder the spread of COVID-19.
PurposeThis research aims to test the effects of attitude, perceived behavioral control (PBC), subjective norm and perceived quality of official coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) websites on intention to use official COVID-19 websites.Design/methodology/approachThis study collected data using an online questionnaire. It involved 120 Indonesians who used official COVID-19 websites. The data were analyzed using the multiple regression analysis.FindingsThis research found that intention to use official COVID-19 websites is significantly and positively affected by the quality of the website, attitude and subjective norm. PBC does not influence intention to use official COVID-19 websites.Research limitations/implicationsThis research was only conducted in the context of Indonesians. Furthermore, a convenience sampling technique was applied. Future research should be done in a different context with larger samples to test the generalization of this research's findings.Practical implicationsTo improve intention to use official COVID-19 websites, people must be directed to have a positive attitude toward the website. The developer must ensure the quality of the website. It is also essential to involve leaders and public figures whose opinions might be able to sway citizens to use official COVID-19 websites consistently.Originality/valueThis research is the first one of its kind that studied citizens' intention to use official COVID-19 websites.
Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) consists of three dimensions, which are innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking. It has an essential role in ensuring SMEs willingness to adopt technology in the 4.0 industrial era. The aim of this study is twofold. First, to discover the pattern CE (innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking) intensity on four SMEs and second, to identify the likely causes of that pattern from a strategic management perspective. This research employed a case study design with four Indonesian SMEs as the subjects. The data was gathered through guided interviews and observations. Dyadic data was collected to avoid bias. The answers were then put into a scale from one to seven by the informants and combined using a simple mean. A pattern was inferred from the scale. The results suggest that all four SMEs have a similar low-medium range of CE intensity. From the strategic management standpoint, this was likely due to the fact the SMEs have not conducted proper environmental scanning in terms of looking for new technology or embraced the involvement of low-level employees in their planning process.
The 4.0 industrial era has impact not only on the industrial sector but also on the changes of people’s lifestyle, including the healthy lifestyle changes. More specifically, one of the impacts of the 4.0 industrial era is the growth of functional food industry. This research aims to analyze the effect of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on young consumers’ purchase intention on functional food. This research focused on young consumers because they are susceptible to consume a food that can cause non-communicable diseases. This study used a quantitative approach. A survey was used to collect data. Questionnaires were spread in a university in South Tangerang. This study obtained 123 students that participated in the survey. Multiple regressions analysis was performed to test the conceptual model and the proposed hypotheses. The findings showed that attitude and subjective norm influence the purchase intention of the young consumers to buy functional foods. In the other hand, this research also revealed that perceived behavioural control has no significant impact on repurchase intention.
