Abstract

The rapid growth of the business world in the era of globalization also impacted the cosmetics industry. Consumers became more critical and selective in their purchase decisions, which were influenced by factors like electronic word of mouth (e-WOM), product quality, and brand trust. This study analyzed the impact of e-WOM and product quality on purchase decisions, with brand trust as an intervening variable. Using a quantitative method with a questionnaire, data were collected from 105 respondents in Bali. The results showed that e-WOM and product quality both had positive and significant effects on purchase decisions and brand trust. Brand trust partially explained the influence of e-WOM and product quality on purchase decisions. Future studies may explore additional factors and include more respondents for greater accuracy.

Abstract

Business sustainability is crucial for Bali's Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), especially in ecotourism. This study examines how Bali’s Tri Hita Karana (THK) philosophy—balancing relationships between God, humans, and nature—shapes MSME practices. Managers in Bali's MSMEs also encounter sustainability challenges in managing their businesses. The findings show that MSMEs implement THK values through offerings (mebanten) at designated spaces (pelangkiran), fostering social connections (menyamabraya), and practicing environmental conservation. Despite THK's positive influence, challenges arise in balancing traditional values with modern entrepreneurship. The study highlights the need for policies that promote entrepreneurial orientation while preserving local wisdom. Further research is recommended to explore the deeper role of THK in sustaining MSMEs

The competitive nature of the hotel industry in Bali necessitates the enhancement of competitive advantages, such as Human Resources (HR) development. This study aims to analyze how organizational communication influences employee performance and job satisfaction in Three-Star Hotels in Tabanan Regency. The research involves 55 employees from these hotels and utilizes a survey-based data collection method with questionnaires as instruments. Analytically, Partial Least Squares (PLS) are employed to address hypotheses.

Job satisfaction, however, does not mediate the relationship between organizational communication and employee performance. Limitations include the inability to generalize findings to other industries due to unique characteristics of the hotel industry.

Abstract

The Community Partnership Program aimed to enhance pig farmers' swine breeding management skills and entrepreneurial orientation in Manikyang village, Bali. Through counseling and mentoring, farmers improved their knowledge of piglet selection, feed composition, and pen layout. The program also introduced online marketing strategies and basic book-keeping. Farmers displayed high enthusiasm and began to see pig farming as a profitable business. Initial challenges included misunderstandings of optimal farming practices and a lack of entrepreneurial mindset and systematic book-keeping. Despite these obstacles, the program achieved significant improvements. Farmers now understand the importance of proper management and entrepreneurial practices. However, ongoing support is essential to further enhance the farmers' risk-taking abilities and sustain progress, ensuring long-term success and development.

Abstract

Digital transformation in Indonesia encourages the development of rural tourism as an instrument for local economic recovery. This study aims to test a Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)-based model that integrates the role of Social Networking Sites (SNS) on the intention to participate in rural tourism and its impact on sustainability. The research method uses a quantitative survey with a convenience sampling approach. Data was collected through a Google Form which was distributed to 130 student respondents. Data analysis was carried out using SmartPLS to test structural models and relationships between variables. The results of the analysis showed that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control had a significant effect on the intention to participate in rural tourism. The use of social media has been shown to moderate the relationship between the SDG variables and the intention to participate. These findings confirm the validity of the proposed model. The implications of the research provide a theoretical contribution to the development of the SDG model in the context of digital tourism and practical for rural destination managers in designing social media-based marketing strategies. The limitations of research related to the use of convenience sampling require careful interpretation of the results regarding their external validity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of work motivation in mediating the effect of workload and competence on the performance of Functional Planning Officers in Klungkung Regency. The research is motivated by the gap between administrative performance assessments and the substantive quality of performance, high and complex workloads, limited technical competence, and suboptimal work motivation. This study employed a quantitative survey-based approach involving the entire population of Functional Planning Officers in Klungkung Regency, totaling 53 employees. The data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The results indicate that workload has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, but a negative and significant effect on work motivation. Competence has a positive and significant effect on both work motivation and employee performance. Work motivation also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance and acts as a partial mediating variable in the relationship between workload and competence on employee performance. This study recommends optimizing workload management, improving employee competence through continuous technical training, strengthening work motivation through proportional and fair task assignments, and intensifying performance supervision as efforts to sustainably enhance performance quality.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of online visibility on tourists' purchase intention, with corporate reputation as a mediating variable, in the context of three villas located in the Kintamani area of Bali. The research employed a quantitative approach with an associative method. The population consisted of tourists who had previously stayed at or visited the three villas. A total of 90 respondents were selected using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling approach. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires as the primary research instrument. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the assistance of SmartPLS software. The results indicate that online visibility has a positive and significant effect on tourists’ purchase intention, as well as on corporate reputation. Furthermore, corporate reputation also has a positive and significant effect on tourists’ purchase intention. Another important finding reveals that corporate reputation significantly mediates the relationship between online visibility and purchase intention. Overall, the findings suggest that online visibility plays a strategic role in shaping tourists’ purchase intentions, both directly and indirectly through enhanced corporate reputation. Therefore, it is recommended that integrated digital marketing strategies be implemented, with simultaneous attention to both online visibility and corporate reputation, in order to increase consumer interest and purchasing decisions in the context of rural tourism.
