Humane entrepreneurship implementation in Indonesian SMEs: Case study in West Java, Indonesia: SMEs

Abstract

ABSTRACTStudies about human-centered organizations have become popular lately. This research aims to explore, through deeper analysis and comprehensive factors, factors that can be considered determinants that influence the success of humane entrepreneurship (HumEnt) implementation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Many scholars have studied entrepreneurship; this research tries to fill the gap by exploring the cultural and leadership factors in SMEs that cannot be found in other research. The interesting finding here is that flexibility has a negative impact on quality HumEnt implementation in SMEs. The findings of this research can be meaningful for policymakers, leaders of SMEs, nongovernmental organizations, and academicians when developing an SME’s organizational climate, especially a humane-based climate that brings value to the organization and the people inside.KEYWORDS: Humane entrepreneurshiporganization climateleadershipSMEs Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.
