Empowering student health unit (UKS) cadres in the areas of eye health and entrepreneurship is crucial for preventing visual impairment and fostering a smart and productive generation. This activity aims to improve the quality of life and future of students through health education, eye health services used in learning, vision care, and entrepreneurship. The benefits of this educational activity include increased understanding of health, particularly regarding visual impairment and its management, preventing visual impairment, and enhancing entrepreneurial knowledge and skills. This community service activity utilizes a participatory educational method, prioritizing a needs-based approach for the target partners, namely junior high school students and, in particular, the UKS cadres. The activity was conducted in stages and divided into several main phases to ensure effective and sustainable transfer of knowledge and skills. The activity was conducted in several main sessions involving all 440 students in grades 7 and 8, including 27 UKS staff. The results of this community service program include increased knowledge of junior high school students about healthy vision, awareness of maintaining near and far vision within normal limits through healthy behaviors in using the sense of sight. Students' understanding of entrepreneurship from outside sources is also enhanced, as students have already received entrepreneurship lessons. However, information provided by outside sources will further strengthen and inspire them to create opportunities that align with their interests and talents. The skills of the Health Unit (UKS) cadres in conducting visual acuity checks independently and with peers are expected to be conducted periodically and routinely every three months, and incidentally if needed or if someone needs it due to complaints of decreased vision. The eye health and entrepreneurship education model can serve as a reference for other schools. It needs to be implemented continuously and in stages, in line with technological developments and the latest health policies.

In the digital era, e-commerce has developed not only as a platform for buying and selling activities but also as a strategic medium for marketing and business development. University students theoretically possess strong potential to become edupreneurs because they are closely connected to technology and supported by higher education environments. Nevertheless, the reality at Al-Amien Prenduan University indicates that students tend to act more as consumers in e-commerce rather than as entrepreneurs. This condition creates a gap between theoretical expectations and practical implementation, raising questions regarding the effectiveness of e-commerce in encouraging students’ entrepreneurial spirit. This study examines strategies for strengthening Edupreneurship graduates through the optimization of e-commerce. The research specifically explores ways to maximize e-commerce in supporting the development of Edupreneurship graduate profiles and improving graduates’ competitiveness in entrepreneurship and employment sectors. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed at Al-Amien Prenduan University. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving female students of the Islamic Education Edupreneurship program who actively engage in entrepreneurial activities through e-commerce platforms. The findings reveal that optimizing e-commerce can be achieved through identifying students’ digital competencies and needs, as well as utilizing flexible technologies that support broader market access and global transactions. In addition, strategies such as enhancing digital marketing creativity, strengthening market research capabilities, and understanding consumer behavior significantly contribute to entrepreneurial development. The study concludes that e-commerce effectively fosters entrepreneurial attitudes, adaptability, and competitiveness among students in facing the challenges of the digital economy.

This systematic review maps how innovation, technology adoption, and Islamic entrepreneurial behaviors are intertwined and contribute to the SDGs. Searches in Scopus followed PRISMA 2020: of the 166 initial records, 46 were eliminated prior to screening; 120 filtered by title–abstract; 45 read in full; and 25 articles were analyzed in depth. Four RQs lead the synthesis: the form of innovation/adoption (RQ1), impact on behavior and performance (RQ2), and their relationship to the SDGs (RQ3). The findings show five complementary faces of innovation: (1) process-organization (knowledge management, open innovation; innovation capability), (2) sharia business/finance models (sharia venture capital, agricultural value chain finance), (3) financial and platform digitalization (fintech, Islamic crowdfunding), (4) technological innovation in business models (e.g., urban farming–aquaponics) that are value-framed, and (5) halal product/marketing innovation (halal assurance and halal trust). Behind that, the drivers are layered: individual values and psychology, Islamic HRM cultural orientation and organizational learning, Islamic finance architecture and regulation, and access to digital literacy and trust in the platform. The impact is multidimensional performance, access to ethical capital, halal market behavior, and social and religious environmental outcomes with strong contributions to SDG 8 and SDG 9, and footprints on SDGs 1–2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17. This SLR offers an integrated financial innovation value framework and proposes SDGs micro-indicators; limitations mainly in the variation of measurements and the dominance of cross-section designs.

Digital Health Edupreneurship is a concept of student empowerment that integrates health education, digital technology, and entrepreneurial skills. Through this approach, students are not only passive recipients of information but also active creators of digital innovations,such as mobile apps, social media content, educational videos, and online platforms,designed to promote healthy behaviors within schools and the broader community. The main objective of this initiative is to explore and analyze how student innovation in digital health can serve as an effective tool for health promotion while simultaneously fostering entrepreneurial spirit among students. The method used in this program involves lectures and interactive demonstrations. The activity was carried out in three stages: planning and preparation, implementation and process, and finally evaluation and monitoring. Throughout the implementation phase, students were guided to form innovation groups, develop relevant digital content, and collaboratively present their ideas. These activities not only encouraged creativity but also enhanced student engagement in real-world applications of both health promotion and entrepreneurship.The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ knowledge. Prior to the program, only 25.9% of students were categorized as having good knowledge. After the digital health edupreneurship session, this number increased to 88.9%. These findings indicate that the Digital Health Edupreneurship approach is effective in improving health literacy and cultivating student creativity and entrepreneurial mindset in a practical and collaborative learning environment

This study aims to analyze the influence of perceived organizational support and work engagement on the contextual performance of entrepreneurs in Padang City. Contextual performance is an important aspect of the work environment, reflecting the voluntary behavior of employees or entrepreneurs in helping, collaborating, and supporting organizational or business goals beyond their core duties. In the context of entrepreneurship, contextual performance can influence business continuity and development, as highly committed entrepreneurs tend to demonstrate greater initiative, loyalty, and involvement in business processes. Perceived organizational support, the extent to which individuals feel valued and supported by the organizational environment or business community, is a determining factor in shaping these positive behaviors. Meanwhile, work engagement reflects the level of enthusiasm and dedication of individuals in carrying out their business roles. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional method, and data were collected through a survey of 1,146 entrepreneurs in Padang City, West Sumatra Province. The analysis showed that both perceived organizational support and work engagement significantly influenced the contextual performance of entrepreneurs. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.67 indicates that 67% of the variation in contextual performance can be explained by these two variables (p < 0.01). This finding underscores the importance of creating a supportive environment and encouraging high work engagement in the entrepreneurial context. Therefore, business owners, policymakers, and business community managers need to consider these two factors when designing comprehensive business performance improvement strategies to support regional economic growth.

The low level of financial literacy and the consumptive behavioral patterns among Indonesian youth represent a critical challenge in preparing the younger generation to face the complexities of the modern economy. Therefore, training in basic financial record-keeping serves as a strategic step in enhancing students' financial literacy, particularly at the secondary education level. This community service activity aims to improve the understanding and provide practical skills to students of MAN 2 Parepare in simple financial record-keeping. The goal is to enable students to manage personal finances and school-based entrepreneurial activities in a more orderly and responsible manner. The implementation method involved several stages, including preparation, training execution, and evaluation. The results indicated an increase in students' understanding of basic accounting concepts, the importance of financial recording, and their ability to prepare simple financial statements. This training has contributed to fostering students’ administrative discipline and financial awareness from an early age, enhancing youth financial literacy, and equipping them with essential skills for future financial independence.

This study centers on examining the impact of digital literacy, entrepreneurial characteristics, and competitive advantage on entrepreneurial success. In the rapidly evolving digital era, the ability to utilize information technology has grown to be a crucial aspect in supporting business activities, specifically for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This analysis employs a quantitative method using surveys aimed at MSME entrepreneurs. Multiple linear regression was conducted to analyze the relationship between independent variables and the dependent variable. The outcomes reveal that digital literacy, entrepreneurial characteristics, and competitive advantage have a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial success. These findings suggest that enhancing digital literacy, entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviors, and strategies to build competitive advantage are key factors in achieving business success.

Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in economic growth, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). One of the main factors for entrepreneurial success is the effective implementation of the marketing mix. This paper discusses the concept of the marketing mix in entrepreneurship by highlighting the 4P elements (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) which have evolved into 7P with the addition of People, Process, and Physical Evidence. The discussion includes the implementation of the marketing mix, strategies for facing business challenges, and its impact on competitiveness and business growth. This study highlights how entrepreneurs can optimize marketing elements through product innovation, value-based pricing strategies, the use of digitalization in distribution, as well as social media-based promotion and marketing technology. Additionally, this paper reviews various challenges in the implementation of the marketing mix, such as limited capital, intense competition, and changes in consumer behavior, as well as adaptation strategies through guerrilla marketing, strategic partnerships, and data-driven approaches. The findings in this study indicate that the application of a flexible and innovative marketing mix can enhance business competitiveness and sustainability. By understanding the relationship between the marketing mix and entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs can develop more effective marketing strategies to face the ever-evolving market dynamics.

Global phenomena highlight the increasing attention to entrepreneurship as a solution to reduce unemployment and promote sustainable economic growth (SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth). On a local level, vocational high school (SMK) graduates in Indonesia face the challenge of low entrepreneurial intention, which has the potential to exacerbate youth unemployment rates. This study aims to explore entrepreneurship learning strategies and the contribution of teacher behavior in shaping the entrepreneurial intentions of SMK students through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The novelty of this research lies in integrating two key elements—innovative learning strategies and teacher behavior as role models—which have been minimally discussed in previous literature. The urgency of this research stems from its contribution to SDG 4 (Quality Education), by strengthening entrepreneurship education as a foundation for developing a competitive workforce. The method employed in this study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which involves collecting and analyzing relevant journal articles using VOSviewer software based on selected keywords. The findings indicate that project-based and collaborative learning approaches enable students to directly experience real-world business challenges, such as developing business ideas and working in teams to solve practical problems. Teacher behavior, serving as both facilitator and motivator, plays a crucial role in encouraging students to dream big, believe in their abilities, and view entrepreneurship as an attractive career path. The implications of this research provide practical insights for educators and policymakers in designing effective entrepreneurship curricula while supporting the SDG agenda, particularly in promoting quality education, decent work, and inclusive economic growth. This study contributes to the reinforcement of sustainable entrepreneurship education in Indonesia.

Instead of being in good condition when experiencing a demographic bonus, it turns out that Indonesia has not been able to maximize this factor and is still hampered by unemployment and the government is always encouraging the formation of new entrepreneurs. This research examines the factors that can influence entrepreneurial intentions among students in Soloraya, namely parental support, income expectations, entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial motivation which have a dual role as direct influences and mediation. The current research aims to harmonize the theory of planned behavior to explain the role of parental support, income expectations and entrepreneurial motivation in current conditions. This research involved 250 students spread across several universities in Solo and analyzed the data using smart PLS. The results found in this research were that all the variables studied were able to influence students' entrepreneurial intentions in Solo Raya.

Entrepreneurial behavior and capital are interrelated and complementary in the context of business success. Entrepreneurship brings ideas and vision, while capital provides the financial impetus to turn those ideas into reality. The success of a business is determined by how these two elements integrate and are effectively managed by entrepreneurs. Therefore, a good understanding of entrepreneurship and the importance of capital will assist entrepreneurs in facing challenges and building sustainable and successful businesses. This research aims to determine the influence of entrepreneurial behavior and capital on business success in Telanaipura District, Jambi City. The method used in this study is quantitative research with data analysis using the coefficient of determination test. The sample in this study consisted of 30 respondents who are coffee shop/cafeteria owners in Telanaipura District, Jambi City. The results of the study indicate that entrepreneurial behavior has a positive and significant partial influence on business success, while capital does not have a positive and significant influence on business success. Simultaneously, the results show that entrepreneurial behavior and capital together have a significant influence on business success in Telanaipura District, Jambi City. The coefficient of determination calculations shows that the entrepreneurial behavior variable accounts for 37.5% of the variance, while the remaining 62.5% is influenced by other variables outside the scope of this study.
