Abstract

This research investigates the critical factors driving university students to choose third-party Online Food Delivery (OFD) applications over traditional physical campus dining facilities. Utilizing a quantitative, cross-sectional research design, empirical data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to a sample of 120 undergraduate students at Universiti Sains Malaysia. The multiple regression results revealed a unique behavioral phenomenon in which variety of choices emerged as the sole statistically significant predictor of students’ venue preferences, yielding a standardized coefficient (?) of 0.285 and a significant p-value of 0.047, while perceived ease of use, social influence, and service quality were not statistically significant. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that the extensive culinary variety and broad range of choices offered by digital aggregators act as the primary structural pull factor drawing students away from institutional dining facilities. Based on these findings, it is suggested that campus food operators prioritize digital modernization, strategic culinary diversification, and flexible menu rotations to effectively mitigate student migration and remain competitive with external delivery platforms.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of e-wallet features on the spending habits and financial wellbeing of students at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Using a quantitative approach, the study investigates three key factors: Perceived Ease of Use, Promotional Incentives, and Payment Visibility. Spending habits are assessed through impulse buying and budgetary leaks, while financial wellbeing is evaluated through saving capacity and financial stress. The findings indicate that frictionless digital transactions and reduced visibility of physical cash lower psychological barriers to spending, increasing students’ tendency to make unplanned purchases. Promotional incentives, including cashback and rewards, further encourage frequent e-wallet usage and spending beyond planned budgets. These patterns may contribute to increased borrowing and reduced financial stability among students. The study highlights the importance of digital financial literacy and recommends e-wallet features that provide real-time spending transparency to support responsible financial behavior and improve students’ long-term financial wellbeing.
