Abstract

The Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the aluminium sector in Yogyakarta play a strategic role in supporting both the local economy and other industries. Observations indicate that 41 aluminium SMEs have low production capacities, primarily due to their reliance on traditional technologies. This study explores the relationship between factors driving technology acquisition—organizational motivation, partner involvement, desired technology, and acquisition scenarios—and the intention to adopt new technology within the aluminium SMEs in Yogyakarta. Using the Spearman rank correlation test and SPSS software for data analysis, the study involves five aluminium SMEs: TS Aluminium, ED Aluminium, SP Aluminium, WL Aluminium, and Kripton Gamajaya Aluminium. The results show a significant relationship between organizational motivation and the intention to acquire technology, with a correlation value of 0.844. Positive relationships were also found between partner involvement, desired technology, and acquisition scenarios and the intention to acquire technology, with correlation values of 0.703, 0.712, and 0.837, respectively. This research aims to assist the Technical Implementation Unit for Metals (UPT Logam) in encouraging aluminium SMEs to pursue technology acquisition.
