Using data from 86 households and applying Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), the research demonstrates that strong community support significantly enhances community empowerment, which in turn serves as a critical driver of socio-economic benefits. Community readiness\u2014reflected in local engagement, acceptance, and willingness to participate\u2014further influences the sustainability and effectiveness of electrification initiatives. Empirical evidence from the study shows that communities exhibiting higher levels of support and readiness experience greater improvements in household welfare, economic mobility, and social integration. These findings reinforce prior literature highlighting the transformative potential of electrification when embedded within supportive community structures. The study\u2019s theoretical implications underscore the importance of integrating community-centred strategies into electrification programmes. Policymakers and energy providers should prioritise participatory models that strengthen local capacities, enhance resource mobilisation, and embed training initiatives, thereby maximising the long-term socio-economic benefits of electrification in underserved rural areas.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","tags":[2014,2012,2013,2011],"jel-code":[],"article-type":[1329],"class_list":["entry","author-asriwn","post-9308","article","type-article","status-publish","tag-community-empowerment","tag-community-readiness","tag-community-support","tag-socio-economic-impact","article-type-normal-article"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Does Community Empowerment Serve as a Mediator for the Effects of Community Support and Readiness on Socio-Economic Impacts? | Jurnal Ekonomi Malaysia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/article\/does-community-empowerment-serve-as-a-mediator-for-the-effects-of-community-support-and-readiness-on-socio-economic-impacts\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Does Community Empowerment Serve as a Mediator for the Effects of Community Support and Readiness on Socio-Economic Impacts? | Jurnal Ekonomi Malaysia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This study investigates the relationships among community support, community readiness, and community empowerment in shaping the socio-economic impacts of electrification in a rural region of West Java, Indonesia.
