Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh Authentic Food Experience dan Sensory Marketing terhadap Kepuasan Pengunjung Tenant Nusantara Legend di Medan. Riset ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya tingkat kepuasan pengunjung terhadap aspek keaslian makanan dan pengalaman sensorik yang ditawarkan tenant. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan teknik purposive sampling kepada 88 responden, serta pengolahan data menggunakan SmartPLS 4. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa baik Authentic Food Experience maupun Sensory Marketing berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap Kepuasan Pengunjung secara parsial dan simultan. Nilai koefisien regresi menunjukkan bahwa pengalaman makanan otentik memberikan pengaruh dominan, sedangkan pemasaran sensorik tetap memiliki kontribusi signifikan. Model regresi menjelaskan 54,1% variasi kepuasan pengunjung. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pengelolaan kuliner yang menitikberatkan pada keaslian budaya makanan serta keterlibatan multisensori dalam menciptakan pengalaman kuliner yang bermakna. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan integrasi strategi budaya dan sensorik dalam pengelolaan tenant kuliner guna meningkatkan daya saing dan kepuasan pengunjung secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of cognitive image and affective image on visitor satisfaction at Pos Bloc Medan, a creative tourism destination that combines art spaces with historical colonial buildings. The research employed a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), analyzed with SmartPLS version 4. The sample consisted of 100 visitors selected through purposive sampling. The results showed that cognitive image had a positive and significant effect on visitor satisfaction (path coefficient = 0.481; t-statistic = 5.981), while affective image also had a positive and significant but smaller effect (path coefficient = 0.230; t-statistic = 3.012). The limitations of this study include the relatively small sample size and the scope being limited to one destination. This study contributes to the literature on destination image and tourist experience management, particularly in the context of cultural and creative tourism destinations in Indonesia. The findings offer practical implications for destination managers to emphasize the importance of improving physical attributes and creating deep emotional experiences to sustainably enhance visitor satisfaction.

Abstract

In recent years, attention to individual financial well-being has increased significantly, driven by the increasing complexity of financial decisions amidst global economic dynamics. This study examines the relationship between financial capability, financial anxiety, and financial behavior in determining financial well-being among retail investors in the Indonesian capital market. This study uses a quantitative approach utilizing survey data from 200 retail investors and analyzes the data through Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that financial capability negatively impacts financial anxiety while positively impacting financial behavior. Furthermore, financial behavior significantly impacts financial well-being. This study establishes a serial mediation effect where financial capability influences financial well-being through sequential mediation of financial anxiety and financial behavior. This study contributes to the literature by empirically testing a serial mediation model in the context of retail investment and underscoring the important role of psychological factors in individuals' financial decision-making processes in the capital market.

Abstract

Population administration services require speed, accuracy, transparency, and ease of access. This study analyzes the influence of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), service innovation, and employee professionalism on public satisfaction, with service accessibility as an intervening variable at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Medan City. The research design is a quantitative cross-sectional study using a survey of 96 respondents (Cochran's sample size determination technique). The analysis was conducted using PLS-SEM (SmartPLS). All indicators met convergent validity (outer loading ≥ 0.70) and reliability (Composite Reliability 0.935–0.961; AVE 0.705–0.830). The model had high explanatory power: R² accessibility = 0.864 and R² satisfaction = 0.837. Path testing results showed: SOP → accessibility was positive and significant (β=0.225; p=0.031), but SOP → satisfaction was not significant (β=−0.056; p=0.673); innovation → significant accessibility (β=0.544; p<0.001) and innovation → significant satisfaction (β=0.322; p=0.049); professionalism → significant accessibility (β=0.205; p=0.047) while professionalism → satisfaction was not significant (β=0.221; p=0.118); accessibility → significant satisfaction (β=0.460; p=0.041). The mediation test showed significant mediation in the path of innovation → accessibility → satisfaction (β=0.250; p=0.048), while the mediation of SOP and professionalism through accessibility was not significant. The findings confirm that improving accessibility—driven primarily by service innovation—is key to increasing public satisfaction. Practical implications recommend strengthening needs-based innovation (e.g., online queuing and tracking, mobile services), enforcing SOPs for process consistency, and monitoring digital performance to maintain service accountability.

Abstract

Rapid digital transformation has increased the need for firms to optimize how technological resources are utilized and integrated to enhance performance, particularly among Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) facing resource constraints. Although prior research highlights the value of digital adoption, less is known about how resource integration mechanisms convert technology-driven utilization into sustainable performance outcomes. This study aims to examine the effect of technology-driven resource utilization on firm performance and to test the mediating role of resource integration within the Resource-Based View (RBV) framework. A quantitative research design was applied using survey data collected from 233 firms undergoing digital transformation across various industries. The hypothesized relationships were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS. The analysis followed standard PLS-SEM procedures, including measurement model assessment for reliability and convergent validity, and structural model evaluation to test path significance and mediation effects. The results show that technology-driven resource utilization has a significant positive effect on firm performance. Resource integration also significantly improves firm performance and partially mediates the relationship between resource utilization and performance, indicating that digital resources contribute more effectively when embedded into coordination routines, aligned workflows, and knowledge-sharing mechanisms. This study concludes that dynamic resource integration is a critical capability for translating technology-driven resource utilization into sustainable firm performance, extending RBV by emphasizing integration capability as a strategic asset. Limitations include the cross-sectional design and SME-focused sample; future studies should employ longitudinal designs and broader industry contexts.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menjelaskan bagaimana kualitas integrasi saluran (omnichannel integration ‎quality/OIQ) dan persepsi personalisasi (perceived personalization/PP) membentuk pengalaman ‎pelanggan daring (online customer experience/OCE), yang pada gilirannya menumbuhkan persepsi ‎keotentikan merek (perceived brand authenticity/PBA) dan loyalitas merek (brand loyalty/BL) pada ‎konteks ritel omnichannel. Model yang diajukan memposisikan OIQ dan PP sebagai anteseden, OCE ‎sebagai mekanisme psikologis yang menyalurkan dampak hulu ke hilir, serta PBA sebagai jembatan ‎makna menuju loyalitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan konstruk yang telah tervalidasi dan menetapkan ‎rencana pengujian dengan pendekatan PLS-SEM, termasuk evaluasi reliabilitas dan validitas, ‎pengendalian bias metode umum, serta uji invariansi pengukuran antarsegmen. Secara teoretis, studi ‎ini menempatkan OCE sebagai penghubung antara integrasi kanal dan personalisasi dengan ‎pembentukan keotentikan merek, serta mengonsolidasikan peran PBA dalam menjelaskan transisi ‎dari pengalaman ke perilaku loyal. Secara manajerial, temuan yang diharapkan menekankan ‎pentingnya integrasi informasi dan proses yang konsisten di semua kanal serta personalisasi yang ‎transparan dan memberi kendali kepada pelanggan, sehingga pengalaman lebih relevan, persepsi ‎autentisitas meningkat, dan loyalitas dapat dipupuk secara berkelanjutan.‎

Abstract

In the competitive digital market, brands must foster emotional attachment with consumers through storytelling that conveys their identity and values. This paper aims to examine the influence of brand storytelling on brand advocacy with emotional brand attachment as a mediating variable in the context of the digital beauty industry in Indonesia. The design of this research is quantitative with a descriptive-causal approach, using data from 200 active consumers of local cosmetic brands collected through an online survey. The analysis technique used is Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the assistance of SmartPLS 4 software. The research results show that brand storytelling has a significant positive effect on emotional brand attachment, and this attachment partially mediates the relationship between brand narrative and advocacy behavior. These findings provide a theoretical contribution by confirming the role of affective mechanisms in shaping loyalty and voluntary support among digital consumers, particularly in the context of emerging market countries. From a practical standpoint, these results recommend that marketers prioritize the development of authentic and emotionally resonant storytelling as a strategy to build psychological closeness and encourage consumers to become active advocates for the brand.
