Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dinamika kepuasan dan persepsi harga dalam pengalaman berbelanja di sektor ritel. Pendekatan kualitatif digunakan untuk memahami makna dan evaluasi konsumen terhadap pengalaman berbelanja secara mendalam. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi dengan melibatkan konsumen, pegawai toko, dan pihak manajerial yang dipilih secara purposif. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan analisis tematik untuk mengidentifikasi pola makna yang muncul dari pengalaman informan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepuasan pelanggan terbentuk melalui interaksi antara lingkungan fisik toko, kualitas pelayanan, dan kemudahan dalam proses berbelanja. Persepsi harga tidak hanya dipahami sebagai nilai nominal, tetapi sebagai representasi nilai yang dirasakan konsumen berdasarkan kesesuaian antara harga, kualitas produk, dan pengalaman berbelanja. Selain itu, pembelian ulang muncul sebagai konsekuensi dari pengalaman berbelanja yang positif dan konsisten. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dalam memperkaya kajian pemasaran ritel melalui pendekatan kualitatif yang menekankan pengalaman konsumen secara holistik. Secara praktis, temuan ini dapat menjadi dasar bagi pengelola ritel dalam merancang strategi yang tidak hanya berfokus pada harga, tetapi juga pada penciptaan pengalaman berbelanja yang nyaman, bernilai, dan berkelanjutan. This study aims to explore the dynamics of customer satisfaction and price perception in the shopping experience within the retail sector. A qualitative approach was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of how consumers interpret and evaluate their shopping experiences. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving consumers, retail employees, and managerial staff selected purposively. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns of meaning emerging from participants’ experiences.The findings reveal that customer satisfaction is shaped by the interaction between the physical store environment, service quality, and the ease of the shopping process. Price perception is not merely understood as a nominal value but as a representation of perceived value based on the alignment between price, product quality, and the overall shopping experience. Furthermore, repurchase intention emerges as a consequence of consistent and positive shopping experiences.This study contributes to the retail marketing literature by providing a holistic qualitative perspective on customer experience. Practically, the findings offer insights for retail managers to develop strategies that focus not only on pricing but also on creating a comfortable, valuable, and sustainable shopping experience.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana pengalaman ritel digital memengaruhi niat beli dengan mempertimbangkan peran mediasi kepercayaan merek serta peran moderasi electronic word of mouth (e-WOM). Dengan mengacu pada perspektif terpadu mengenai mekanisme pengalaman, relasional, dan pengaruh sosial, penelitian ini mengusulkan bahwa niat beli dalam ritel digital tidak hanya dibentuk oleh pengalaman konsumen terhadap platform, tetapi juga oleh kepercayaan dan informasi sosial di ranah daring. Data dikumpulkan dari 88 responden dan dianalisis menggunakan partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) dengan SmartPLS 4. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengalaman ritel digital berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kepercayaan merek, sementara kepercayaan merek berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap niat beli. Namun, pengaruh langsung pengalaman ritel digital terhadap niat beli tidak signifikan. Temuan juga menegaskan bahwa kepercayaan merek memediasi hubungan antara pengalaman ritel digital dan niat beli, yang mengindikasikan bahwa pengalaman digital memengaruhi niat beli terutama melalui mekanisme berbasis kepercayaan. Selain itu, e-WOM secara signifikan memperkuat pengaruh kepercayaan merek terhadap niat beli, yang menunjukkan bahwa kepercayaan menjadi lebih efektif dalam mendorong perilaku ketika didukung oleh ulasan dan rekomendasi daring yang positif. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada literatur ritel digital dengan menawarkan penjelasan yang lebih terintegrasi mengenai pembentukan niat beli melalui interaksi antara pengalaman digital, kepercayaan relasional, dan pengaruh sosial. Temuan ini juga memberikan implikasi praktis bagi peritel digital yang ingin meningkatkan konversi dengan secara simultan meningkatkan pengalaman platform, membangun kepercayaan, serta mengelola e-WOM. This study examines how digital retail experience influences purchase intention by considering the mediating role of brand trust and the moderating role of electronic word of mouth (e-WOM). Drawing on an integrated perspective of experiential, relational, and social influence mechanisms, the study proposes that purchase intention in digital retail is shaped not only by consumers’ platform experience but also by trust and online social information. Data were collected from 88 respondents and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The results show that digital retail experience has a positive and significant effect on brand trust, while brand trust has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention. However, the direct effect of digital retail experience on purchase intention is not significant. The findings further confirm that brand trust mediates the relationship between digital retail experience and purchase intention, indicating that digital experience affects buying intention primarily through a trust-based mechanism. In addition, e-WOM significantly strengthens the effect of brand trust on purchase intention, suggesting that trust becomes more behaviorally effective when supported by favorable online reviews and recommendations. This study contributes to the digital retail literature by offering a more integrated explanation of purchase intention formation through the interplay of digital experience, relational trust, and social influence. The findings also provide practical implications for digital retailers seeking to improve conversion by simultaneously enhancing platform experience, building trust, and managing e-WOM.

Abstract

This study examines how store atmosphere influences customer loyalty in offline retail by considering the mediating role of positive emotion and the moderating role of hedonic shopping value. Drawing on the stimulus–organism–response perspective, the study proposes that store atmosphere acts as an environmental stimulus that shapes customers’ emotional responses and, in turn, their loyalty behavior. Data were collected from 77 retail customers and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The results show that store atmosphere has a positive and significant effect on positive emotion, while positive emotion has a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty. In contrast, the direct effect of store atmosphere on customer loyalty is not significant. The findings further confirm that positive emotion mediates the relationship between store atmosphere and customer loyalty, indicating that loyalty is formed primarily through an affective mechanism rather than through atmospheric cues alone. In addition, hedonic shopping value significantly strengthens the effect of positive emotion on customer loyalty, suggesting that emotional responses are more likely to translate into loyalty when shopping is perceived as enjoyable and experientially rewarding. This study contributes to the retail literature by offering a more integrated explanation of loyalty formation through the interplay of environmental stimulus, affective response, and experiential value. The findings also provide practical implications for retailers in designing store environments that evoke positive emotions and enhance hedonic shopping value.
