Purpose: This study investigates how, in the context of organizational change initiatives, the adoption of empowering leadership can foster positive social exchange relationships between leaders and subordinates, in turn, neutralizing cynicism about organizational change (CAOC) and allowing follower championing behavior (FCB) to emerge.Design/methodology/approach: The authors analyzed data from 908 faculty members from 11 top-rated public universities in Indonesia. The data used in this research are multisource, so the data processing steps are rwg and ICC tests, data quality testing, and hypothesis testing.Findings: The authors found that CAOC among these members had a negative effect on their FCB, but this negative effect was buffered by the presence of empowering leadership.Research limitations/implications: The authors' research captures perceptions at one point in time. Future research could adopt a longitudinal approach to simulate empowering leadership stimuli and investigate the impacts of FCB.Practical implications: This study contributes to Indonesian business management, which exhibits a culture of high power distance. The findings suggest that managers should improve managers' interpersonal communication with subordinates and consider managers' feelings toward change in the organization so that managers' subordinates will provide feedback in the form of decreasing cynicism and will exhibit FCB.Originality/value: This study contributes to the understanding of why CAOC may not be expressed explicitly in Asian countries due to Asian collectivist and high power-distance values that discourage subordinates from voicing their disagreement with change initiatives.

This research aims to provide an understanding of the mechanisms underlying organizational commitment (OC) by utilizing psychological capital (PsyCap) as an antecedent and career adaptability (CA) as a mediator in this relationship. This study employs the conservation of resources (COR) theory to elucidate how PsyCap and CA can assist organizational members in enhancing OC when assessing the workforce quality in police settings. The study was conducted at police academy and state police school in Indonesia. The sampling technique adopted purposive sampling, targeting novice police totaling 417 individuals. Concerning the relationship between PsyCap and CA denoting a statistically significant positive relationship. This indicates that as PsyCap increases, CA tends to rise as well. The results demonstrate that the relationship between PsyCap and OC is not statistically significant. The relationship between CA and OC indicates an extremely significant positive relationship, meaning that a higher CA leads to an elevated OC. The indirect relationship between PsyCap and OC, when considering the mediating effect of CA on the relationship between PsyCap and OC, implies that PsyCap has a significant positive influence on OC through CA. It can be concluded that CA fully mediates the relationship between PsyCap and OC.

Resource Based View (RBV) is used to identify problems faced by SMEs. Based on the results of SWOT analysis, it can be seen that SMEs have six problems.

This study aims to determine whether the information quality, product variety, and packaging have a significant effect on consumer purchase intention in SMEs located in Surabaya that are engaged in the snack sector. This study uses an elaboration likelihood model theory approach to assist in analyzing the way a person processes information which will later assist in increasing purchase intention. This research uses an experimental research method, with the sample number of 270 students of Universitas Ciputra Surabaya as its participants, which are divided into 9 groups of different experimental conditions. Sampling technique uses probability sampling, and the data analysis process is done using SPSS and JASP analysis tools. The results of this research indicate that the three variables individually have a significant effect on purchase intention, but further finding shows that these three variables simultaneously do not have a significant effect on purchase intention, except for the variables representing the peripheral route, that is, product variety and packaging.
