Abstract

E-commerce has become a widely used platform around the world to obtain fashion products in an easy and efficient way. However, there is a negative impact on consumer behavior, namely excessive consumption. It can harm the environment and consumers’ mental health if not addressed. The research aimed to examine the roles of free shipping and Cash on Delivery (COD) in Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and compulsive buying, as well as the mediating role of FOMO on e-commerce sites such as Shopee, Tokopedia, Lazada, and Zalora. A quantitative approach was used, with an online survey via Google Forms distributed via social media such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, involving 467 e-commerce customers selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that free shipping does not significantly encourage FOMO or compulsive buying. In contrast, the COD feature has a significant impact on FOMO and compulsive buying. In addition, FOMO positively mediates the relationship between COD and compulsive buying, but not between free shipping and compulsive buying. These findings make important contributions to the theory of FOMO and compulsive buying in e-commerce, to consumer and e-commerce education on digital marketing strategy algorithms, and to the development of environmentally friendly waste management strategies. The research is particularly novel in the context of Indonesian e-commerce, as it simultaneously examines four. Furthermore, FOMO is tested as a mediating variable.

Abstract

Background: The growth of fashion e-commerce has intensified the use of affiliate marketing, user-generated content, and gamification to improve engagement. These strategies influence consumer psychology, particularly narcissism, increasing susceptibility to Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and compulsive shopping. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of digital strategies on narcissism and their role in driving FOMO as well as compulsive fashion purchases in e-commerce. Method: This study conducted a quantitative online survey of 458 e-commerce customers selected via purposive sampling, and analyzed the data using structural equation modeling (SEM) in SmartPLS. Findings: The results showed that affiliate marketing, user-generated content (UGC), and gamification significantly impacted narcissism. Furthermore, narcissism could trigger FOMO and compulsive buying behavior, and FOMO significantly affected compulsive buying. Both narcissism and FOMO played significant roles as positive mediators and moderators in the relationship between exogenous variables and compulsive buying. Conclusions: This study concluded that affiliate marketing, UGC, and gamification significantly increased narcissism, triggering FOMO and compulsive fashion buying in Indonesian e-commerce. The results identified narcissism as a key psychological link between digital marketing strategies and excessive consumption, underscoring the need for ethical marketing practices and stronger consumer self-control. Research implication: This study theoretically showed that affiliate marketing, UGC, and gamification triggered narcissism, leading to FOMO and compulsive buying. Practically, it emphasized the need for the ethical use of these strategies to foster sustainable consumer relationships.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the actual condition of human resource (HR) development, its supporting and inhibiting factors, HR development strategies, and the role of the village head’s leadership in developing the HR of village officials in Mahato Village, Rokan Hulu Regency. The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies involving key informants, namely a representative of the leadership of the Tambusai Utara District Office, a representative of the village development division of the Community and Village Government Empowerment Agency (DPMPD), and a representative official of the Regional Personnel Agency (BKD). Data were analyzed using thematic and narrative analysis. The results show that the development of village officials remains incidental and has not been planned systematically. Supporting factors include regulations and the commitment of leaders, while the main inhibiting factors are budget limitations, weak planning, and low motivation among officials. The required HR development strategies include competency-based planning, strengthening internal coaching, the use of technology, and inter-agency synergy. This study underlines the importance of the village head’s leadership as the main director and driver of HR development for village officials.
