Abstract

Unilever, a British multinational known for its consumer goods, operates in over 190 countries, including Malaysia. Unilever Malaysia was founded over 100 years ago and has improved the lives of millions of Malaysians for more than 70 years. This study aims to explore factors that influence consumer behavior in Unilever Malaysia. Consumer behavior describes the decisions individuals make while choosing, paying for, using, and discarding goods and services. Understanding consumer behavior is important because it allows companies to customize marketing strategies to produce products that are more satisfactory to customers, achieve stronger competitiveness, and customer loyalty for the company. This research collected primary data from 100 Unilever Malaysia customers via an online survey. The findings reveal that perceived quality, brand image, and perceived value significantly influence consumer behavior toward Unilever Malaysia, among which perceived value has the most significant impact. These factors have a positive impact on consumers’ decision-making process. These findings provide Unilever Malaysia with advantages for future growth in terms of enhancing customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.

Abstract

The rise of internet technology and smartphone adoption has significantly transformed the transportation landscape, with e-hailing services like AirAsia Move gaining popularity in Malaysia. This study aims to examine the key factors influencing customer satisfaction and how these factors affect users’ intention to repurchase AirAsia Move services. A quantitative approach was employed, using an online survey distributed via Google Forms to 125 active users of the app. Regression analysis revealed that perceived usefulness (? = 0.328), compatibility (? = 0.359), and customer satisfaction (? = 0.359) have a significant positive impact on repurchase intention, supporting hypotheses H1, H3, and H5. The model explained 77.1% of the variance in repurchase intention (R² = 0.771). Moreover, customer satisfaction mediates the relationship between perceived usefulness and compatibility on repurchase intention, while price and safety were found to be statistically insignificant. The findings emphasize the importance of designing functionally useful and compatible e-hailing services to improve customer satisfaction and encourage repeat usage. Practical implications include prioritizing app usability and integration into users’ routines to enhance customer loyalty and competitiveness in the digital mobility market.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the key challenges encountered by Malaysian university students in their entrepreneurial journey, identify the underlying causes, and propose practical recommendations for improvement. Employing a quantitative research design, the study surveyed 100 undergraduate students from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) through Google Forms. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial barriers predominantly arise from five major factors: aversion to stressed hard work, aversion to risk, fear of failure, lack of social networking, and lack of resources. These challenges reflect both individual limitations and structural constraints that hinder students’ entrepreneurial engagement and sustainability. Based on the analysis, the study suggests several measures to strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems in higher education, including enhancing institutional support, optimizing access to funding, improving government policies and regulatory frameworks, and fostering an entrepreneurial culture on campus. Overall, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the entrepreneurial difficulties faced by university students in Malaysia and highlights the need for integrated efforts from universities, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to cultivate a more supportive environment for student entrepreneurship.
