Abstract

Employee performance is essential for the success of a company, especially in the competitive and fast-changing medical equipment sector. At PT Sarana Megamedilab Sentosa (SMS) in Bandar Lampung, this study investigates how leadership approaches, training initiatives, and workplace stress contribute to employee performance. Using a quantitative design, 34 employees were sampled from a population of 51 based on Slovin's formula. Through SPSS 25 analysis, results demonstrated that employee performance is significantly affected by leadership style, training, and work stress, both individually and simultaneously. The study emphasizes that enhancing performance requires effective leadership, ongoing job-specific training, and proper management of work-related stress to maintain a productive and supportive workplace.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to examine the effects of product features, brand image, product price, and social influences on Generation Z’s purchase decisions toward Velixir local perfume. Design/Methodology/Approach – This study employed a quantitative survey approach. The population consisted of Generation Z consumers who were familiar with or had purchased Velixir perfume. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria. Primary data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. The analysis included evaluation of the measurement model and structural model. Findings – The results indicate that product features, brand image, product price, and social influences have positive and significant effects on purchase decisions. Among the four independent variables, brand image has the most dominant influence on Generation Z’s purchase decisions. Originality/Value – The novelty of this study lies in the simultaneous examination of product features, brand image, product price, and social influences in explaining Generation Z’s purchase decisions toward a local perfume brand. The study provides a specific perspective on Generation Z consumer behavior toward local perfume products in an increasingly digital and socially connected marketplace. Practically, the findings suggest that local perfume companies should strengthen brand image, improve product features and quality, establish value-based pricing, and utilize credible social influences in digital marketing strategies.
