However, brands have a big challenge in determining which influencers are right to use to maximize their return on investment. Based on the cases of PT. Mustika Ratu Tbk. and PT. Martina Berto Tbk., they have used celebrity endorsements, but it was less effective in boosting product sales. Currently, many local skincare brands are starting to use nano-influencers to promote their products because of several advantages that nano-influencers have, though there are some drawbacks that marketers must consider. Influencer recommendations can raise consumer awareness and purchase decisions. Thus, this research will examine the effect of nano-influencers' reviews towards consumer purchasing decisions. The survey and interview method will be carried out to collect the data. The population are people in Indonesia who follow and have seen reviews from nano-influencers on Instagram about local skincare products, specifically MS Glow, Scarlett Whitening, and Somethinc, and have purchased the product from one of the three brands, with a total of 310 respondents. The data will be analyzed using PLS-SEM to examine the construct in this research. According to this research, Trustworthiness, Expertise, Likability, Informative Value, and Entertainment Value are influencing Trust. Then, Trust influences Brand Awareness and Purchase Intention. From that Brand Awareness, it significantly influences Purchase Intention and Purchase Decision. In addition, Purchase Intention also found to have influence on Purchase Decision. To summarize, marketers require a strategy to determine which nano-influencers are appropriate to promote their products, such as having the trust of their followers so that it has an effect on brand awareness, which leads to consumer purchase decisions.","PeriodicalId":253813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Technology Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125767747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the trend is not curtailed, it could aggravate unemployment, loss of market, declined growth of entrepreneurship and a recessed economy. Despite many factors contributing to superior organizational performance, employee performance has been deemed as the most crucial. Therefore, this paper proposes a conceptual model that theorizes the direct effect of organizational commitment on employee motivation and employee performance, the mediating role of employee motivation, as well as the moderating role of employee participation. Using an extensive literature survey, this paper presents a logic-based and empirically based conceptual discussion that employee performance, employee motivation, organizational commitment, and employee participation are significant drivers of performance. The model extends the knowledge base on organizational commitment, employee motivation, participation and performance, and offers some insights for the stakeholders, managers in the banking sectors, and policymakers on what could be positive drivers of enhanced employee performance. Future studies could empirically validate the model in the context of the UAE banking sector to provide solid evidence on how the model could enhance the employee performance of the UAE banks.","PeriodicalId":253813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Technology Management","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114814242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most Indonesian nickel has been exported as raw ore to be processed in other countries. Recognizing its potential, the government has been imposing a law banning the export of raw nickel ore. The government constructs smelters to purify the ore to get a higher nickel content. But still, Indonesia has issues to work on so its plan will proceed as intended.
