Abstract

This study investigates whether the SERVQUAL dimensions—tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy—explain customer satisfaction in an independent full-service hotel and identifies the most influential levers. A cross-sectional survey of 100 staying guests recruited via accidental (intercept) sampling was administered using validated Likert-scale items. Construct validity and reliability were established prior to hypothesis testing. Multiple regression with standardized coefficients was employed to estimate the partial effects of each dimension and to assess their relative importance. Results indicate that all dimensions exhibit positive associations with satisfaction; empathy emerges as the strongest predictor, followed by assurance, reliability, and responsiveness, while tangibles show the weakest effect. These findings highlight the primacy of human-contact factors—attentiveness, credibility, and individualized care—in shaping satisfaction within hospitality settings, while signaling improvement opportunities in physical cues and facilities. Managerially, the hotel should sustain strengths in empathy and assurance (e.g., staff sensitivity, clear guarantees, consistent fulfillment of promises) and systematically uplift tangibles through visible quality cues, facility upkeep, and amenity standards. The study contributes firm-level evidence to the hospitality literature by clarifying the relative weights of SERVQUAL dimensions for satisfaction and by underscoring that people-centric capabilities remain decisive even when tangible attributes lag.

Abstract

This study examines how service quality shapes purchase decisions in traditional culinary businesses, emphasizing the mediating roles of trust and word-of-mouth (WOM). Adopting a quantitative design that combines descriptive and explanatory approaches, we surveyed visitors to traditional foodservice establishments. Data were analyzed with PLS-SEM to test the measurement and structural models. The outer model met standard reliability and validity criteria (indicator loadings ≥ 0.60, CR ≥ 0.70, AVE ≥ 0.50). Structural results show that service quality, trust, and WOM each exert significant direct effects on purchase decisions. In addition, service quality indirectly influences purchase decisions through trust and WOM, indicating partial mediation. Overall explanatory power for purchase decisions is substantial, suggesting the model captures the key mechanisms that convert service experiences into buying choices. The findings underscore that improving frontline reliability, responsiveness, and assurance enhances customer trust, which, together with positive WOM including community and group interactions amplifies purchasing outcomes. Practically, managers of traditional culinary businesses should prioritize service-process excellence, transparent value cues, and community-based engagement programs to cultivate trust and stimulate advocacy. The study contributes by simultaneously modeling trust and WOM as mediators in a traditional culinary context and by providing actionable guidance on service strategies that sustain competitiveness in increasingly crowded foodservice markets.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and identify factors influencing customer loyalty in Islamic banks, focusing on educational organizations in Indonesia. Customer loyalty is a crucial aspect for the sustainability of Islamic banks, especially amidst increasingly fierce competition in the banking industry. This study employed a quantitative research design, utilizing primary data collected via structured questionnaires. Quantitative approaches are well-suited for testing hypotheses and analyzing relationships between variables statistically. The questionnaires were distributed both in-person and online to Islamic bank customers from educational organizations in Indonesia over a four-week period with a final sample of 101 respondents. The data were analyzed using SEM-PLS to test the measurement and structural models. The results indicate that service quality significantly influences customer satisfaction, brand image, and loyalty. While customer satisfaction affects brand image, it does not directly influence loyalty, whereas brand image plays a key role in driving customer loyalty. Theoretically, this study contributes to the Islamic banking literature by confirming the mediating roles of brand image and customer satisfaction and offering a foundation for future research on loyalty in institutional and sharia-based financial contexts. This study provides practical insights for Islamic bank management to enhance customer loyalty through improved service quality, trust building, and consistent implementation of sharia principles.

Abstract

While advances in information technology have many benefits, they also increase cybersecurity risks, especially for students. The purpose of this study was to see how hypersecuritization and daily cybersecurity practices affect students' compliance with digital security policies. This descriptive quantitative study involved 94 students from various majors, and data was collected through an online survey that used a five-level Likert scale. The results showed that hypersecuritization had a mean score of 4.04, which indicates that people are very wary of cyber threats. The mean score of 4.01 for daily cybersecurity practices indicates positive behaviors such as the use of two-factor authentication and device updates. Although more flexible policies are needed, the mean score of 3.86 indicates a fairly high acceptance of cybersecurity policies. This study found that to improve students' knowledge and compliance about cybersecurity, education-based methods and more inclusive policies are needed.
