This research is aimed at analyzing perception and identifying determinants of the decision to convert to organic mango farming in Mekong Delta (MD) Vietnam. The research was conducted by using a direct survey data set from 109 household heads in this region collected by stratified random sampling method. The research method used was descriptive statistics and the binary Logit model. The research results revealed some interesting points. In the total observations gathered, only about half of households decided to convert, mainly due to local implementation and awareness of safety for consumers and environmental protection. Still, the most important reason for farmers to convert was to get a higher selling price. The binary Logit model analyzing the determinants found that the older the farmer, the more difficult it is to decide to convert. At the same time, training and enhancing awareness about organic farming will increase the probability of conversion decisions. Based on the research results, several relevant solutions on investment, production linkage, and propaganda to raise people's awareness were recommended, thereby increasing the probability of deciding to convert.

The purpose of this study is to study the effect of market orientation and authenticity on innovation capability both directly and moderated by paradox mindset, organizational level. We also study the effect of motivation, individual level, on innovation capability both directly and moderated by a paradox mindset. The hypotheses proposed in this study are empirically tested using data from 580 respondents and 180 Batik SME organizations in Indonesia. To analyze the data, multilevel analysis with MPlus software is used. The results show that in a cross-level relationship, artisan motivation had a positive effect on innovation capability, and paradox mindset significantly moderated the relationship between market orientation and innovation capability. In addition, the authors also found a significant effect of authenticity on innovation capability. The study uses multilevel analysis to evaluate the mechanism of influence of artisan motivation (bottom-up) on innovation capability, and the moderating effect of paradox mindset in the Indonesian batik industry.

Data analysis using smart PLS 3.0 which resulted in the finding that the decision support sys-tem (DSS) in situational leadership had not been able to contribute to improve employee perfor-mance. It can be concluded that the role of technology in semi structured decision making must be based on sufficient data to help improve employee motivation and performance. In fact, leadership is still used to make unstructured decisions without paying attention to the data stored in the perfor-mance system.
