The sampling technique used in this research is cluster random sampling based on region. Questionnaires were randomly distributed to 90 employees from a population exceeding 600 marine products SMEs in the North Jakarta coastal area. The respondents included 54 male and 36 female employees, aged between 18 and 45 years, with work experience ranging from 1 to 5 years.
