Abstract

The delivery service industry in Indonesia is experiencing increasingly fierce competition along with the growth of e-commerce. PT Pos Indonesia as a state-owned enterprise faces challenges in maintaining customer loyalty amid the dominance of private competitors such as J&T Express and JNE. This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality, brand image, and technology usage on customer loyalty with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable in PT. Pos Indonesia Medan Branch. Using a quantitative method with PLS-SEM analysis on 185 customer respondents selected through purposive sampling, data was collected through a structured questionnaire using Google Form. The results showed that service quality had a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction (β=0.405, p=0.000) and customer loyalty (β=0.524, p=0.000). Brand image has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction (β=0.240, p=0.016) and customer loyalty (β=0.302, p=0.002). Technology usage had a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction (β=0.504, p=0.000) and customer loyalty (β=0.294, p=0.008). Customer satisfaction was proven to have a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty (β=0.289, p=0.009). Customer satisfaction was able to mediate the influence of service quality (β=0.117, p=0.014), brand image (β=0.112, p=0.019), and technology usage (β=0.146, p=0.025) on customer loyalty. The research model explains 79% of variance in customer loyalty. These findings confirm the importance of a holistic marketing management strategy in the delivery service industry, especially in improving service quality, strengthening brand image, optimizing the use of digital technology, and building customer satisfaction to create long-term loyalty.

Abstract

This community engagement program aims to enhance the village’s economic self-reliance and social resilience through a participatory and collaborative approach involving women-led micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), youth, children, and the village government as key partners. The implementation stages began with village potential mapping through focus group discussions, followed by business legalization assistance including the issuance of Business Identification Numbers (NIB) and halal product certification along with training in business management, product innovation, and digital marketing. The results demonstrate a significant increase in local capacity and competitiveness: several women-owned MSMEs successfully obtained NIB and halal certificates, the process of establishing a culinary and souvenir center (Pujasera) as a hub for local product promotion was successfully initiated, and a digital marketing network was developed to expand market access, while a more child-friendly and gender-equitable village environment was fostered. These achievements confirm that a participatory and collaborative model can effectively create an inclusive, competitive, and sustainable village ecosystem, while also making a tangible contribution to the advancement of knowledge.
