INTRODUCTION
The use of technology has become one of the main drivers in digital transformation in various
sectors, including micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) (Fonseka et al., 2022). Technologies
such as artificial intelligence (AI) and e-commerce offer great opportunities for MSMEs to improve their
competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market. AI enables business process automation,
complex data analysis, and data-driven decision-making more quickly and accurately (Jelahut et al.,
2021).Meanwhile, e-commerce allows MSMEs to expand their market reach, reduce geographical

barriers, and increase accessibility to global consumers. The combination of these two technologies
provides a significant strategic advantage for MSMEs in facing the challenges of the modern market
(Arroyabe et al., 2024).
Business owners' self-confidence is also an important factor in influencing the decision to adopt new
technology. Individuals with high self-confidence tend to be more risk-taking and more optimistic about
the success of technology adoption (Blanchard et al., 2020). In addition, the quality of information
obtained through various technological sources is a key element in business decision making (Rahmad
Solling Hamid, 2017). Relevant, accurate, and reliable information increases businesses' confidence in new
technologies and supports more effective strategy implementation (Adju et al., 2022).
While the potential benefits of AI and e-commerce adoption have been widely discussed in various
studies, there is a gap in understanding how a combination of factors such as confidence, information
quality, and technology adoption can holistically affect MSME marketing performance (Yuen, 2023).
Previous studies have focused more on the direct effects of each factor without highlighting the indirect
relationships or interactions between these factors in the context of MSMEs. In addition, empirical studies
on the mediating role of e-commerce adoption in the relationship between these variables and marketing
performance are limited (Aljarboa, 2024).
This research offers novelty by integrating the three main factors of AI adoption, confidence, and
information quality into one comprehensive research framework. The purpose of this study is to analyze
the direct and indirect relationships between these variables on the marketing performance of MSMEs,
with e-commerce adoption as a mediating variable (Fonseka et al., 2022). The results of this study are
expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions in the development of technology adoption
strategies by MSMEs and become a reference for policy makers in supporting the digital transformation of
MSMEs (Latan et al., 2021).
The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the main elements of digital
transformation in various sectors, including MSMEs. AI technology enables automation of routine tasks,
analysis of complex data, and personalization of marketing strategies. In the context of MSMEs, AI
adoption provides strategic benefits such as operational efficiency, reduction of human errors, and
improved customer experience through AI-based recommendation systems and chatbots (Hicham et al.,
2023). Research by highlights that AI enables organizations to leverage data for better decision-making,
thereby increasing competitiveness in the market. However, AI adoption also presents challenges,
especially for MSMEs that often face resource constraints. Factors such as high investment costs, limited
technical skills, and resistance to change are major barriers. In this context, the organization's
technological readiness and external support, including from the government and educational institutions,
are key factors for successful AI implementation (Kian, 2021).
Self-confidence
Self-confidence plays an important role in the technology adoption process, especially among MSME
players. High self-confidence allows individuals to take risks and try new innovations, such as the adoption of AI
and e-commerce. Bandura (1997), through his theory of self-confidence, explains that self-confidence serves as
a catalyst that encourages businesses to face challenges and take advantage of technological opportunities.
Business actors with high levels of self-confidence tend to be more optimistic about the results to be achieved,
despite facing initial barriers such as technological complexity and market uncertainty (Markus et al., 2020).
Research shows that simulation-based training programs can increase the self-confidence of MSME actors,
which in turn accelerates the process of adopting new technologies. In addition, support from the business
community or mentors can help increase confidence, so that businesses are better prepared to face the risks
associated with technology (Hollenbeck & Hall, 2004).

Information Quality
Information quality is one of the crucial elements in effective business decision-making. Accurate,
relevant, and reliable information provides a strong basis for businesses to understand market trends,
customer needs, and innovation opportunities (Tragandi et al., 2024). In the context of e-commerce adoption,
good information quality increases businesses' trust in technology, thus encouraging them to utilize digital
platforms more optimally. According to Rogers' (2003) Diffusion of Innovation theory, high-quality information
is one of the important attributes that influence technology adoption decisions. Studies by show that
information quality has a direct impact on the level of user satisfaction with digital platforms, which in turn
affects the level of sustainability of technology adoption (Salah & Ayyash, 2024). However, MSME players often
face the challenge of information overload, which can hinder their ability to filter and utilize relevant
information. Solutions such as big data analytics and machine learning can help simplify the process of
analyzing information, resulting in actionable insights (Muawanah & Trisnaningsih, 2022).
E-commerce Adoption
The adoption of e-commerce has become one of the key strategies for MSMEs to overcome
geographical limitations and expand their market reach. E-commerce technology allows businesses
to reach new customers, reduce distribution costs, and increase product or service accessibility
(Fonseka et al., 2022). The e-commerce adoption process involves stages such as technology
introduction, trial, and full integration into business operations. Research shows that e-commerce
provides benefits in the form of increased marketing efficiency and revenue growth. For example,
through digital platforms, MSME players can collect customer data, monitor market trends, and
offer a more personalized customer experience (Bidasari et al., 2023). However, e-commerce
adoption requires readiness in terms of technological infrastructure, data management capabilities,
and effective digital marketing strategies (Nurjaman, 2022). Other challenges are data security and
platform maintenance costs, which often become obstacles for MSMEs in utilizing e- commerce to
its full potential.
Marketing Performance

processes. Research shows that the adoption of AI in e-commerce not only improves business
performance but also accelerates the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs) (Ayob, 2021). The combination of AI and e-commerce creates a dynamic ecosystem, where
the adoption of more advanced technologies results in greater benefits, such as increased customer
satisfaction, loyalty, and market competitiveness. We thus propose the following hypothesis:
H1: AI adoption has a positive and significant influence on e-commerce adoption.
H3: e-commerce adoption has a positive and significant impact on marketing performance.

individuals or businesses are confident that they are able to learn and operate an e-commerce
platform, then they tend to have a positive attitude towards the technology, which ultimately
increases their intention to adopt it. Research shows that a positive attitude towards e-commerce
backed by strong self-confidence significantly increases the likelihood of technology adoption
(Maszudi et al., 2020). Self-confidence has a positive and significant relationship with e-commerce
adoption because confident individuals tend to be more open to innovation and technological
change (Fonseka et al., 2022). In a business context, self-confidence makes businesses feel capable
of learning, implementing, and managing e-commerce systems that may require new skills or
adjustments to business processes (Luo, 2022). With confidence, businesses are also more willing to
take risks in technology investments, which is one of the important factors in the successful
adoption of e-commerce (Lala et al., 2002). In addition, self-confidence helps overcome the fear of
failure that often becomes an obstacle in making decisions related to technology (Meutia & Ismail,
2019). As a result, confident business actors tend to see e-commerce as an opportunity to improve
the competitiveness and efficiency of their businesses, so that the adoption of technology has
increased significantly.

When the information provided in the context of marketing is too much or too complex,
consumers can feel overwhelmed (Muawanah & Trisnaningsih, 2022). This results in their inability to
process information effectively, thereby reducing the positive impact of information quality on
marketing performance, although the quality of information is important, its impact on marketing
performance depends on the context, the way it is delivered, and the extent to which the
information is relevant and understandable to the target market (Huang & Rust, 2021). If these
factors are not met, the quality of information does not always contribute significantly to improving
marketing performance. Theoretically, it shows that the quality of information alone is not enough
to ensure good marketing performance (Rahmawati et al., 2019). Other factors such as relevance,
the context of acceptance by the audience, and the organization's ability to utilize such information
become key elements that determine marketing success (Surjatmodjo, 2023). When these elements
are not met, the relationship between information quality and marketing performance becomes
insignificant or even negative (Tolstoy et al., 2022).
H7: the quality of information has a negative and insignificant effect on marketing
performance.

Types Of Research
Using a quantitative approach, this study aims to utilize the adoption of the role of artificial
intelligence (AI), trust, and information quality in improving the implementation of e-commerce and
marketing operations of MSMEs. The population in this study were all MSME actors in Palopo City.
However, because the number of MSME populations involved in this study is not known for sure,
this study uses a non-probability sampling method for data collection. This technique was chosen
because it allows sampling even though the population size is not clear.
To determine the sample, this study identified respondents using social media with the
snowball sampling technique, where the first respondents selected would provide references or

recommendations to other relevant people to participate in the study. Thus, this study managed to
collect 275 respondents who agreed to participate. However, after screening, only 222 responses
were considered valid and complete. This study excluded 50 incomplete responses at the initial
analysis stage, so the response rate received was 80.72%, which is a fairly high response rate. Based
on the literature, a response rate of more than 15% is considered acceptable for a methodology
survey.The sampling technique used in this study is non-probability sampling, more specifically
snowball sampling. This selection technique is based on the number of populations involved in
MSMEs in Palopo City. Snowball sampling was chosen because it makes it easier to find relevant
respondents by relying on recommendations from previous respondents. The reason for choosing
the non-probability sampling technique is because the number of MSME populations is not known
for sure, making it more difficult to apply probability sampling techniques that require complete
information about the population. Snowball sampling is very effective when the population is
difficult to identify and access, as in this case, where not all MSME actors are registered or clearly
recorded. Statistical Analysis or Data Processing: The data collected from 222 respondents were
then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS). This
technique was chosen because it is very suitable for testing relationships between complex variables
and for measuring causal models in research. SEM-PLS allows researchers to test hypotheses
regarding the influence of AI adoption, self-confidence, and information quality on e-commerce
adoption and MSME marketing performance. By using SEM-PLS, researchers can measure direct and
indirect relationships between variables and test the strength of the relationship between AI
adoption, self-confidence, information quality, e-commerce adoption, and marketing performance.
Data that has been processed with SEM-PLS will provide more detailed information about the
interactions between variables, as well as the extent to which these factors affect the marketing
performance of MSMEs.Furthermore, with the description of the age of 21-25 years (0.55%).

This study used several steps in the data collection procedure. First, in the development of the
questionnaire, This study applies a reverse translation procedure from English to Indonesian and
back to English. It is aimed at ensuring the clarity of the content of the questionnaire. Secondly, after
obtaining the final version of the questionnaire, a preliminary trial was carried out by sending
questionnaires to 50 respondents for preliminary data analysis. This procedure minimizes the
potential for bias that could affect the validity of research results. This stage includes calculating
possible measurement errors in survey methods, such as method bias, response bias, and social
desirability bias, to improve survey quality, and ensure questionnaires are understood by

respondents. Third, the main research was conducted by distributing questionnaires through social
media and email. This deployment is followed by a notification via text message to ensure the sent
questionnaire has been received by the respondent. This method is considered one of the best
methods to reach a wide range of respondents at low cost and in a short time. To improve response
rates, at the end of each month during the study period, we sent respondents an email as a
reminder. To maintain the confidentiality of respondents ' personal data, we ensure that their
names and identities will not be disclosed in this study. Data collection was carried out during the
period October 2024 to December 2024.
Results
Hypothesis testing (see Figure 1) was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)
through Partial Least Squared (PLS-SEM). This study used SmartPLS software package version 4. PLS-
SEM was used in this study because it is often used in the field of marketing and management
research with the aim of analyzing causal relationships between latent constructs. In addition, this
technique is effective in estimating causal relationships in theoretical models based on empirical
data. Criteria to evaluate the structural model (outer model) using SEM-PLS are (i) reliability test
which can be seen from the value of composite reliability and cronbach's alpha, (ii) convergent
validate which can be seen from the value of loading factor and the value of average variance
extracted (AVE), and (iii) discriminant validate which can be seen from the value of the square root of
Ave and correlation between latent constructs. The next step is to evaluate the outer model through
a reliability test that aims to prove the accuracy, consistency and accuracy of the instrument in
measuring the construct. Reliability test is done by looking at the value of composite reliability
(>0.70). Thus, it can be concluded that the data is reliable (Table 3).
Convergent validity is concerned with the principles by which the measures (real variables) of
a given construct must be highly correlated. Convergent validity testing is done by examining the
value of the loading factor compared to the rule of thumb (> 0.6), then by looking at the average
value of the extracted variance (AVE) compared to the rule of thumb (> 0.50). Based on the results of
convergent validity testing, the loading factors on each construct all have values greater than the
rule of thumb (> 0.60). The values of each extracted mean of variance (AVE) for each construct all
have values greater than the rule of thumb (>0.50) (Table 3). We applied two criteria in evaluating
discriminant validity. First, we apply the criterion by which the square root of the Ave variable must
be higher than its correlation with other variables. Second, we evaluated the heterotrait-monotrait
ratio (HTMT) of the correlations. According to Henseler et al ., (2015), HTMT is more sensitive in
decreasing discriminant validity compared to other criteria. To demonstrate discriminant validity,
the HTMT between the two constructs must be less than 0.90. These two criteria support the
discriminant validity of all our variables (Table 3).

The assessment criteria for the structural model (inner model) using SEM-PLS are (i) R-square
for the dependent construct and (ii) bootstrapping procedure (t value >1.96 and significance level =
5%) to determine the significance value. The following are the results of the structural model
assessment (inner model) through the bootstrapping procedure to test the hypothesis proposed in
this study as presented in Table 4.
The structural model or inner model is evaluated by looking at the percentage of variance
explained by looking at the R2 Square value and the Q2 value for the dependent latent construct.
According to the rule of thumb, R2 Square with a value of 0.75 is categorized as important; 0.50 is
moderate, and 0.25 is categorized as weak. The rule of thumb value for Q2 > 0 indicates that the
model has predictive relevance, and the rule of thumb value for Q2 < 0 indicates that the model has
less predictive relevance. From the analysis (Table 4), the R2 Square value for the trust construct is
0.285, which means that the variability of trust, which can be explained by the variables of
information quality, system quality, and social media marketing activities in the model is 28.5% and
is included in the weak model category. On the other hand, the R Square value of the user
satisfaction construct is 0.675, which means that the variability of user satisfaction that can be
explained by the variables of information quality, system quality, social media marketing activities,
and trust in the model is 67.5% and is included in the moderate model category. For the Q2 value,
the trust construct is 0.251 > 0, and the user satisfaction construct is 0.541 > 0, which means that the
model has predictive relevance. Evaluation of the significance value by looking at the path coefficient
value from the test results with Partial Least Square (PLS) and with bootstrapping calculations (Table
4). From the path coefficient results, it can be seen that for (H1), AI Adoption has a positive and
significant effect on e-commerce Adoption (β = 0.362; p <0.05). For (H2), AI Adoption has a negative
and insignificant effect on marketing performance (β = -0.084; p> 0.05). For (H3), e-commerce
adoption has a positive and significant effect on marketing performance (β = 0.403; p <0.05).
Furthermore, for (H4), self-confidence has a positive and significant effect on e-commerce adoption
(β = 0.450; p> 0.05). Furthermore, for (H5), self-confidence has a significant positive effect on
marketing performance (β=0.553; p<0.05). For (H6), information quality has a positive and significant
effect on e-commerce adoption (β=0.453; p<0.05). Then for (H7), the information quality construct
has a negative and insignificant effect on e-commerce adoption (β= -0.099; p>0.05).

DISCUSSION
The purpose of this study is toForanalyzes the role of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, self-
confidence, and information quality in increasing e-commerce adoption and MSME marketing
performance. Based on the results of data analysis conducted with SmartPLS, this study found
several important findings that will be discussed in a theoretical and practical framework.

can answer customer questions in real-time, thereby increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty. In
addition, AI enables customer behavior analysis to understand market preferences and needs.
These results are consistent with research conducted by (Pokhrel, 2024), which found that AI
drives marketing efficiency by increasing the relevance of promotional campaigns. However, the
main challenges in adopting AI involve high investment costs and limited technical skills among
MSMEs. Therefore, the role of government and educational institutions is crucial in providing
training and access to AI technology at affordable costs. The practical implications of this AI
adoption are increasing digital market penetration and enabling MSMEs to compete in the global
market.
However, the challenge faced by MSMEs is the difficulty in filtering valid information amidst
the flood of data (information overload). Therefore, a platform is needed that can present organized
and relevant information to support decision making. The use of technologies such as big data and
machine learning can help MSMEs analyze data efficiently, resulting in meaningful and actionable
insights
.
The Relationship between AI Adoption, Self-Confidence, and Information Quality on MSME
Marketing Performance
The synergy between AI adoption, confidence, and information quality has a significant impact
on MSME marketing performance. AI plays a role in automating marketing processes, such as
market segmentation and content personalization, which increases the efficiency and effectiveness
of marketing campaigns. MSME actors' confidence is a driving factor in optimally utilizing AI, while
information quality ensures that the marketing strategies developed are based on valid data.

Research by (Noranee & Kadir Bin Othman, 2023) shows that the combination of these three
variables increases innovation in MSME marketing strategies. For example, the use of AI for
customer data analytics allows MSME actors to identify new market opportunities, while information
quality helps them design relevant strategies. Confidence is a determining element in taking
measured risks to implement this strategy. However, this success is not without challenges. MSME
actors need to overcome internal obstacles, such as limited resources and resistance to change, as
well as external obstacles, such as tight market competition. Therefore, a holistic approach is
needed that includes capacity building, access to technology, and policy support to increase AI
adoption, confidence, and information quality among MSME actors.
Implications and contributions This study provides theoretical and practical contributions in
understanding the factors that influence e-commerce adoption and MSME marketing performance.
Theoretically, this study broadens the understanding of the interaction between technology,
psychology, and information in the context of technology adoption. Practically, these findings
provide guidance for policy makers, MSME actors, and technology providers to improve an inclusive
and sustainable digital ecosystem. In the future, further research is needed to explore other
variables that may influence technology adoption, such as organizational culture and external
support. In addition, a longitudinal approach can provide deeper insights into the dynamics of
change in technology adoption and MSME marketing performance over time.
CONCLUSIONS
This study provides insights into the role of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, self-confidence,
and information quality in increasing e-commerce adoption and their impact on MSME marketing
performance. The results show that AI adoption significantly influences e-commerce adoption,
which in turn positively contributes to marketing performance. AI technology enables business
process automation, complex data analysis, and personalization of marketing strategies, providing
MSMEs with the efficiency they need to compete in the digital market. However, the direct effect of
AI on marketing performance was found to be insignificant, indicating the importance of other
supporting factors to optimize its benefits. MSME actors' self-confidence has also been shown to be
an important factor in driving technology adoption. Individuals with high levels of self-confidence
are more willing to take risks, including trying new innovations such as AI and e-commerce. Strong
self-confidence helps entrepreneurs overcome psychological challenges such as fear of failure, thus
facilitating the process of adopting digital technology. Information quality is another important
element that influences business decisions.
Relevant, accurate, and reliable information supports MSMEs in understanding the benefits of
technology and designing effective marketing strategies. Information quality significantly drives e-
commerce adoption by providing a basis for better decision-making. However, the direct impact of
information quality on marketing performance is not significant, confirming that this factor requires
support from other elements to produce optimal impact. The synergy between AI adoption,
confidence, and information quality forms an innovative ecosystem and supports MSME marketing
performance. By utilizing AI technology, increasing confidence, and using quality information,
MSMEs can create more relevant, efficient, and competitive marketing strategies. This study
emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach in MSME digital transformation, involving
government support, training, and wider technology access to accelerate the adoption of digital
technology. These findings contribute to the development of policies and strategies that support the
sustainability of MSME growth in the digital era.
