Abstract

This study examines the mediating role of Brand Image in the relationship between Celebrity Endorsers, Electronic Word of Mouth (E-WOM), and purchasing decisions among Generation Z consumers of MS GLOW skincare products in Semarang, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach with twenty measurement indicators across four constructs and using an accidental sampling technique, the study investigates how different communication sources influence Gen Z consumers’ perceptions and purchase behavior in the local skincare market. The findings reveal that Celebrity Endorsers neither significantly shape Brand Image nor directly influence purchasing decisions, indicating that celebrity-based persuasion has limited effectiveness for this consumer segment. In contrast, E-WOM exerts a positive and significant effect on both Brand Image and purchasing decisions, underscoring the importance of peer-generated information in building trust and guiding consumer choice. Brand Image is also found to significantly influence purchasing decisions and partially mediate the relationship between E-WOM and purchase behavior, while no mediating effect is observed in the relationship between Celebrity Endorsers and purchasing decisions. These results empirically demonstrate that, within the context of Gen Z skincare consumption in Semarang, peer communication plays a more decisive role than celebrity endorsement. Theoretically, this study refines branding and consumer behavior literature by clarifying the differentiated influence pathways of E-WOM and endorsement cues. Practically, the findings suggest that skincare brands targeting Gen Z should prioritize peer-based digital engagement strategies over celebrity-driven promotion.

Abstract

Objective – This study examines how religiosity influences Muslim tourists’ intention to choose Islamic medical tourism destinations (IMTD) in Indonesia by investigating the mediating roles of attitude and motivation of piety.Methodology – A quantitative research design was employed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. Data were collected from 200 Muslim tourists who were aware of the IMTD. Four constructs—religiosity, attitude, behavioral intention, and motivation of piety—were measured, and the proposed direct and indirect relationships were tested using the bootstrapping procedure at a 5% significance level.Findings – The results reveal that religiosity has a significant positive effect on both attitudes and behavioral intentions. Religiosity also enhances the motivation for piety directly and indirectly through behavioral intention. However, attitude is negatively associated with motivation of piety, suggesting the presence of cognitive–spiritual dissonance in tourists’ decision making. Furthermore, behavioral intention serves as a stronger mediating mechanism than attitude in explaining the influence of religiosity on the motivation of piety.Implications – The findings suggest that IMTD managers and policymakers should prioritize strategies that strengthen Muslim tourists’ behavioral intentions by integrating religious values into destination branding, service design, and promotional activities, rather than relying solely on favorable attitudes.Originality – This study extends the Islamic medical tourism literature by demonstrating that religiosity shapes tourists’ motivation for piety through distinct psychological pathways. It further identifies behavioral intention as a more influential mediating mechanism than attitude, offering new insights into Muslim tourists’ destination-choice behavior.
