The post-pandemic era has brought significant challenges and opportunities for the adoption of digital platforms in education. This study investigates the factors influencing the intention and behavior of lecturers at XYZ University in using Microsoft Teams, utilizing the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) framework. Key constructs examined include Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI), Facilitating Conditions (FC), Hedonic Motivation (HM), Learning Value (LV), and Habit (HT). Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to lecturers and students with prior experience using Microsoft Teams and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that Behavioral Intention, Facilitating Conditions, and Habit significantly influence Use Behavior, while the one that significantly influence Behavioral Intention is just Habit alone. Behavioral Intention emerged as a strong predictor of Use Behavior, demonstrating the central role of intention in technology adoption. The study highlights the importance of usability, emotional engagement, and institutional support in fostering sustained adoption of Microsoft Teams. Recommendations for enhancing adoption include improving training programs, ensuring adequate technical support, and integrating features that align with teaching goals and preferences.

With the rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia, understanding the factors influencing user acceptance is crucial for both platform developers and policymakers. This study examines the acceptance of Tokopedia, one of Indonesia’s leading e-commerce platforms, using Davis' Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). It aims to explore the relationships between perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude toward use, behavioral intention to use, and actual use within the TAM framework. A quantitative descriptive and correlational research design was adopted, utilizing an online survey distributed to 201 active Tokopedia users in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) via SmartPLS 3. The results indicate that attitude toward use and behavioral intention to use significantly influence actual use of e-commerce. Additionally, perceived ease of use positively affects both perceived usefulness and attitude toward use, while behavioral intention has the strongest impact on actual use. Furthermore, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness influence actual use indirectly through attitude toward use and behavioral intention to use. These findings provide valuable insights for e-commerce practitioners seeking to enhance user engagement and platform adoption. By understanding the key determinants of e-commerce acceptance, businesses can develop more effective marketing strategies, improve user experience, and optimize product offerings to encourage sustained platform use.

This study aims to explore the influence of social media, trust, consumer engagement, and loyalty on purchasing decisions of Skintific brand fashion products. With a quantitative approach, primary data was collected through an online survey using a Google Forms questionnaire. A total of 212 respondents, who are active users of social media and Skintific products, completed the questionnaire completely. Data analysis was carried out using SmartPLS 3 software with the SEM PLS method. Most of the respondents were aged 17-25 years old and the majority were women. The results showed that consumer trust had the most significant influence on purchasing decisions (coefficient of 0.476), followed by loyalty (0.350), while the impact of social media was smaller (0.098). Additionally, active consumer engagement contributes greatly to loyalty, as engaged consumers are more likely to be loyal to the brand.

With the vision of making Manado Advent Hospital the main choice for the people of North Sulawesi province and its surroundings and becoming the right hand of evangelism. The aim of this quantitative research is to analyze the quality of health services at the Manado Advent Hospital using the servqual method (physical evidence, reliability, responsiveness, trust and empathy). Apart from that, this can be used as evaluation material for management to improve service quality. Researchers have 11 hypotheses with a sample size of 208 through a questionnaire distributed in October 2024. The data can be analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) assisted by the SmartPLS statistical program. The results of the five variables in service quality found that there was one variable, namely assurance (H4), which did not have a significant and positive effect on customer satisfaction. Likewise with hypotheses H6, H7, H8, H9 which do not have a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty. rather, an indirect impact can be seen in variables H1, H2, H3 and H5 where these four variables have a positive and significant impact after the customer satisfaction variable (H11) acts as a mediator that influences customer loyalty. The population in this study were patients seeking treatment at this hospital. This is different from previous research which only examined outpatients. This research was carried out on inpatients who used BPJS insurance.

This study investigates the key factors influencing consumer purchasing decisions through e-commerce applications in North Minahasa Regency, Indonesia. While prior research has largely concentrated on national and urban markets, limited empirical evidence exists regarding consumer behavior in regional contexts. Addressing this gap, the study employs an exploratory factor analysis approach using data collected from 152 respondents who meet specific e-commerce usage criteria. Principal component analysis revealed four dominant factors affecting purchasing decisions: Shopping Convenience, Technological Advancement, Attractive Features, and Social Influence. These factors together explain 70.92% of the total variance in consumer decision-making. Shopping Convenience emerged as the most influential, highlighting the importance of trust, security, and ease of use. The findings provide valuable insights for both academia and e-commerce stakeholders, particularly in optimizing marketing strategies and platform development to suit regional consumer needs. Limitations include geographical scope, sample diversity, and platform generalization. Future research is recommended to explore a broader demographic and additional influencing variables, such as environmental or technological innovations.
