Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology and post-pandemic lifestyle changes have significantly transformed consumer purchasing behavior, accelerating the growth of online food delivery (OFD) platforms. This study aims to examine the factors influencing customer behavior toward FoodPanda, a leading OFD service in Malaysia, focusing on purchase decisions, usage frequency, and satisfaction. Guided by the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the study investigates the effects of perceived promotion, perceived convenience, perceived trust, and service quality on consumer behavior. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 200 respondents through an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The model explains 80.1% of the variance in customer behavior, with perceived convenience (? = 0.303) being the most influential factor, followed by perceived promotion (? = 0.276) and perceived trust (? = 0.248), while service quality (? = 0.126) is positive but weaker. The results underscore the importance of convenience, trust, and promotional strategies in enhancing customer engagement. This study provides insights into post-pandemic digital consumption patterns and offers practical implications for improving user experience and marketing effectiveness in the competitive OFD market.

Abstract

In this Industry 4.0 era, digitalization has become more common since it penetrates every industry and consequently brings drastic changes to firms, and there is no exception in the finance and accounting industry for implementing digitalization. Therefore, this study aims to explore the factors that impact the degree of digitalization in KPMG Malaysia. The survey was carried out by questionnaire distribution, which involved 408 respondents in order to collect the data. The SPSS software was used for data analysis. The regression analysis reveals that strategic corporate management, personal involvement, and employee circumstances significantly positively influence KPMG Malaysia's degree of digitalization, with personal involvement having the strongest impact. Technology and regulation, however, do not significantly affect digitalization. While this factor poses challenges, it does not substantially hinder digitalization. The model explains 47.5% of the variance in digitalization, highlighting the importance of leadership commitment, employee engagement, and personal involvement in driving digital transformation. These findings suggest that KPMG Malaysia should prioritize fostering personal involvement and strategic management while addressing employee needs to enhance digitalization efforts, even as regulatory and technological challenges remain manageable.

Abstract

The rise of internet technology and smartphone adoption has significantly transformed the transportation landscape, with e-hailing services like AirAsia Move gaining popularity in Malaysia. This study aims to examine the key factors influencing customer satisfaction and how these factors affect users’ intention to repurchase AirAsia Move services. A quantitative approach was employed, using an online survey distributed via Google Forms to 125 active users of the app. Regression analysis revealed that perceived usefulness (? = 0.328), compatibility (? = 0.359), and customer satisfaction (? = 0.359) have a significant positive impact on repurchase intention, supporting hypotheses H1, H3, and H5. The model explained 77.1% of the variance in repurchase intention (R² = 0.771). Moreover, customer satisfaction mediates the relationship between perceived usefulness and compatibility on repurchase intention, while price and safety were found to be statistically insignificant. The findings emphasize the importance of designing functionally useful and compatible e-hailing services to improve customer satisfaction and encourage repeat usage. Practical implications include prioritizing app usability and integration into users’ routines to enhance customer loyalty and competitiveness in the digital mobility market.

Specifically, customer service experience (? = 0.291, p 0.01) and employee job satisfaction (? = 0.322, p 0.001) show strong positive effects on user satisfaction, while employee job performance (? = 0.200, p 0.05) also contributes positively. Additionally, employee job satisfaction significantly enhances both job performance (? = 0.732, p 0.01) and customer service experience (? = 0.340, p 0.01). Employee performance is a key factor in delivering superior customer experiences (? = 0.534, p 0.001). The study concludes that improving employee satisfaction is crucial for boosting job performance and customer service, which in turn elevates user satisfaction.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of workplace stress on employee productivity among frontline employees at FamilyMart Malaysia, a rapidly expanding convenience-store chain operating in a high-demand retail environment. Despite extensive research on workplace stress, empirical evidence within Malaysia’s convenience-store sector remains limited. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected from 57 current and former FamilyMart employees through an online survey. The findings reveal that workplace stress, particularly workload pressure and customer-related demands, significantly reduces employee productivity by impairing concentration, motivation, and task accuracy. Regression analysis confirms that workplace stress is a significant predictor of reduced productivity, while emotional exhaustion plays a mediating role in this relationship. The study highlights workload pressure as the most dominant stressor affecting performance. These findings underscore the importance of implementing effective staffing strategies, supportive work practices, and employee well-being initiatives to enhance productivity and sustain service quality in fast-paced retail operations.

Abstract

This study investigates the social appeal of McDonald’s among young people by examining how social interactions, brand image, ambience, perceived enjoyment, and peer influence shape spending behavior and customer satisfaction. Based on survey data from 200 customers, our findings reveal that social interactions, perceived enjoyment, and peer influence significantly enhance spending behavior, whereas ambience and brand image show no meaningful effect. In predicting customer satisfaction, social interactions, perceived enjoyment, and spending behavior emerge as significant contributors, while ambience, brand image, and peer influence do not. Our findings demonstrate that McDonald’s functions as more than just a fast-food outlet. It serves as a social space where interpersonal connections and enjoyable experiences drive both spending and satisfaction. Our study offers practical implications for marketers and managers seeking to improve youth engagement by strengthening social experiences and enhancing enjoyment within fast-food environments

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital services, particularly online food delivery platforms, leading to notable changes in consumer behavior. This study aims to examine post-COVID shifts in consumer behavior in the food delivery sector by focusing on GrabFood users in Malaysia and to identify the key factors driving these changes. A quantitative approach was used, collecting survey data from 150 users and applying multiple regression analysis to examine the effects of health and safety concerns, convenience, price sensitivity and promotion, ease of use, and service quality on post-pandemic consumer behavior. The results indicate a significant increase in both usage frequency and spending on GrabFood after the pandemic. Price sensitivity and promotion exert the strongest influence on consumer behavior (? = 0.424, p 0.001), followed by health and safety concerns (? = 0.418, p 0.001) and perceived convenience (? = 0.217, p 0.01). In contrast, perceived ease of use and enhanced service quality show weaker yet significant effects. The findings suggest that consumer behavior changes initiated during the pandemic have become enduring patterns. Practically, the study provides insights for platform operators to prioritize competitive pricing, promotional strategies, and safety assurance to sustain user engagement and loyalty.
