Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effect of Brand Awareness on Purchase Intention for HoYverse Merchandise, with Perceived Quality and Brand Association as mediators. The method used in this study is PLS-SEM to identify relationships among existing variables. The PLS-SEM method is well-suited for analyzing research involving multiple variables and causal relationships, with results remaining effective even when the available data do not meet the normal distribution assumption. The data for this study were obtained from questionnaires completed by 350 respondents, including fans and individuals familiar with the HoYoverse brand. Based on the data analysis, brand awareness and perceived quality significantly affect purchase intention, while the other variables also exert significant effects. The results of this study indicate that an effective marketing strategy is not only through how well a brand is known or the perception of product quality in the context of the interactive entertainment industry offering merchandise. Therefore, it is hoped that this research can serve as a reference for companies to optimize their marketing strategies and for future researchers to explore other relevant variables.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital connectivity has intensified competition in the mobile broadband industry, increasing the importance of understanding factors that influence customer switching behavior. Although prior studies have examined switching intention in telecommunications services, limited research has simultaneously investigated the roles of brand perception, price sensitivity, and service quality while considering demographic heterogeneity. This study examines the effects of brand perception, price sensitivity, and service quality on switching intention in the mobile broadband sector and evaluates the moderating role of gender. A quantitative survey was conducted among 153 mobile broadband users, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that price sensitivity significantly increases switching intention, indicating that consumers who are more responsive to price differences are more likely to change service providers. In contrast, brand perception and service quality do not significantly influence switching intention, suggesting that mobile broadband services are increasingly perceived as technologically homogeneous across providers. Furthermore, gender does not moderate the relationships between the key determinants and switching intention, although it shows a significant direct effect. These findings highlight the dominant role of economic evaluation in switching decisions and provide strategic implications for telecommunications providers in developing competitive pricing and customer retention strategies.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of Perceived Big Data Marketing Capability (PBDMC) on Consumer Loyalty by positioning Personalized Customer Experience, Customer Trust, and Perceived Value as serial mediating variables and Privacy Concern as a moderating variable. The study was conducted in Banten Province, Indonesia, involving 324 respondents who had interacted with data-driven digital marketing practices, such as personalized product recommendations, targeted advertising, search-history-based promotions, and digital services tailored to user preferences. This research employed a quantitative explanatory design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings show that PBDMC positively influences Personalized Customer Experience and Consumer Loyalty. Personalized Customer Experience significantly enhances Customer Trust and Perceived Value, while Customer Trust positively affects Perceived Value and Consumer Loyalty. Perceived Value is also an important predictor of Consumer Loyalty. The moderation result indicates that Privacy Concern weakens the relationship between Personalized Customer Experience and Customer Trust. This means that data-driven personalization does not always generate trust when consumers perceive that their privacy is at risk. This study contributes theoretically by developing a serial mediation and moderation model within the data-driven marketing literature. Practically, the findings emphasize the importance of managing consumer data transparently, securely, ethically, and value-oriented so that data-based marketing practices can build sustainable Consumer Loyalty.

Abstract

E-commerce growth in Indonesia has been accelerated by the rise of platforms such as Shopee, where trust and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) play critical roles in consumer decision-making. While prior studies have examined reviews, ratings, and trust separately, few have integrated them into a unified model and tested their combined influence among Generation Z consumers. This digitally native cohort dominates online shopping. This study examines the impact of trust, online customer reviews, and online customer ratings on purchase intention, with gender serving as a potential moderator, in the context of Greater Jakarta. Using a quantitative approach and PLS-SEM analysis of survey data from 350 Shopee users, the results reveal that online customer reviews, ratings, and trust significantly and positively affect purchase intention, with online customer ratings exerting the most substantial effect. Unexpectedly, gender and its moderating effects were not significant, suggesting that male and female Gen Z consumers evaluate trust and e-WOM cues similarly. These findings extend the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Elaboration Likelihood Model by demonstrating how central (reviews, trust) and peripheral (ratings) cues jointly influence consumer intentions in an emerging market context. Practically, the study offers actionable implications for platforms and sellers, highlighting the need to strengthen trust-building mechanisms, ensure credible rating systems, and encourage authentic reviews. The research contributes by integrating trust and e-WOM variables into a single model, demonstrating their relevance in Indonesia, and revealing a generational shift in gender differences in online consumer behavior.

Abstract

This study reports on a community service project conducted at Rumah Sakit Baptis, Central Java, to improve hospital service excellence through staff empowerment. The project addressed key challenges, including weak interdepartmental collaboration, ineffective communication, difficulties in delivering sensitive information, and limited awareness of patient-centered service quality. Using a participatory approach, the intervention included workshops, role-playing exercises, counseling sessions, and the introduction of standardized communication protocols. The results showed clear improvements in staff competencies, particularly in empathy, teamwork, and communication with patients and families. Staff reported greater confidence in handling sensitive conversations, while patients observed a more approachable and responsive service. Cross-departmental collaboration also improved, resulting in reduced delays and enhanced coordination. Initial patient satisfaction surveys indicated a positive shift in perceptions of care quality. These findings highlight that even in resource-limited hospital contexts, meaningful improvements can be achieved through structured training and cultural change. The project contributes both practical recommendations for hospital management and theoretical insights by applying the SERVQUAL and patient-centered care frameworks to the Indonesian healthcare setting.

Abstract

Service failure is an inevitable aspect of any service-oriented business. When failures occur, the organization’s response is critical in shaping customer perceptions, satisfaction, and loyalty. This paper explores the notion that "the best defense is a good attack" in the context of service failure and recovery strategies. Proactive recovery initiatives, such as clear communication, swift actions, and personalized solutions, often outperform reactive or passive approaches in mitigating the negative effects of service failures. By employing a strategic recovery process, businesses not only address the immediate dissatisfaction but also create opportunities to strengthen customer relationships and even enhance brand reputation. The study examines key components of successful service recovery, including the role of empathy, transparency, and empowerment of frontline employees. It highlights the importance of preemptive measures such as employee training and the establishment of service recovery protocols. Furthermore, this paper discusses the psychological impact of recovery efforts on customers, emphasizing the significance of perceived justice—distributive, procedural, and interactional. Drawing from real-world examples and empirical studies, this research provides actionable insights for managers aiming to transform service failures into opportunities for improvement and differentiation. By adopting a mindset of proactive engagement, businesses can turn potentially negative experiences into moments that foster customer trust and loyalty. Ultimately, the findings suggest that an offensive approach in service recovery is not merely damage control but a strategic advantage in the competitive service landscape.
