Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated the influence of lifestyle and price perception on the coffee purchase decisions of Generation Z consumers in Medan City. Methods: The researchers employed a quantitative approach with a causal-associative design. The study focused on consumers who purchased coffee at thirty-five local coffee shops. Data collection involved distributing structured questionnaires to one hundred and fifty respondents selected through purposive sampling. The researchers analyzed the collected data using multiple linear regression. Results: The analysis revealed that both lifestyle and price perception positively and significantly impacted purchase decisions. Specifically, price perception demonstrated a stronger influence compared to lifestyle. The statistical results indicated that lifestyle and price perception simultaneously accounted for forty-three point five percent of the variance in purchase decisions. Conclusions: The findings concluded that while Generation Z consumers strongly pursued modern social lifestyles, their limited financial capacity made rational economic calculations a more dominant factor in choosing a coffee shop. Originality/value: Therefore, coffee shop businesses must balance aesthetic social spaces with psychological pricing strategies to remain competitive.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh Word of Mouth dan promosi penjualan terhadap minat beli konsumen pada Sempurna Jaya Rokok Vape. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh semakin ketatnya persaingan bisnis vape yang menuntut perusahaan memahami faktor-faktor yang mampu meningkatkan minat beli konsumen. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada pengujian simultan pengaruh komunikasi Word of Mouth dan promosi penjualan pada industri vape lokal yang masih relatif jarang dikaji dalam konteks perilaku konsumen di Indonesia. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei terhadap 130 responden yang dipilih melalui teknik accidental sampling. Data dianalisis menggunakan regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Word of Mouth dan promosi penjualan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap minat beli konsumen. Persamaan regresi yang diperoleh adalah Y = -10,494 + 0,903X + 0,614X, yang menunjukkan bahwa Word of Mouth memiliki pengaruh lebih dominan dibandingkan promosi penjualan. Secara simultan kedua variabel berpengaruh signifikan terhadap minat beli dengan nilai koefisien determinasi (R) sebesar [isi sesuai hasil penelitian], yang menunjukkan bahwa variasi minat beli konsumen dapat dijelaskan oleh Word of Mouth dan promosi penjualan. Secara teoretis, temuan ini memperkuat perspektif pemasaran relasional yang menempatkan komunikasi antar konsumen sebagai faktor penting dalam pembentukan minat beli. Secara praktis, perusahaan perlu mendorong terciptanya pengalaman konsumen yang positif guna menghasilkan Word of Mouth yang kuat serta mengintegrasikannya dengan strategi promosi penjualan yang efektif untuk meningkatkan daya tarik produk di pasar.   This study aims to analyze the influence of Word of Mouth and sales promotions on consumer purchasing interest at Sempurna Jaya Cigarette Vape. This study is motivated by the increasingly fierce competition in the vape business, which requires companies to understand the factors that can increase consumer purchasing interest. The novelty of this study lies in the simultaneous examination of the influence of Word of Mouth communication and sales promotions on the local vape industry, which is still relatively rarely studied in the context of consumer behavior in Indonesia. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method on 130 respondents selected through accidental sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that Word of Mouth and sales promotions had a positive and significant effect on consumer purchasing interest. The regression equation obtained was Y = -10.494 + 0.903X + 0.614X, which indicates that Word of Mouth has a more dominant influence than sales promotions. Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect on purchasing interest with a coefficient of determination (R) of [fill in according to the research results], which indicates that variations in consumer purchasing interest can be explained by Word of Mouth and sales promotions. Theoretically, these findings reinforce the relationship marketing perspective, which places communication between consumers as a crucial factor in shaping purchase intention. Practically, companies need to foster positive consumer experiences to generate strong word of mouth and integrate this with effective sales promotion strategies to increase product appeal in the marketplace.

Abstract

The Umrah travel service industry faces intense competition that demands companies to prioritize customer satisfaction as their primary advantage. This research is motivated by the decline in the number of pilgrims at PT. Syarifah Alawiyyah Insyirah by -24.91% in 2025. The main problems identified include the lack of optimal pilgrim assistance and minimal social interaction and a sense of family during the pilgrimage. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of service quality and customer experience on customer satisfaction, both partially and simultaneously. The research method used is a quantitative approach. The study population included 648 pilgrims in 2025, with a sample of 247 respondents determined using the Slovin formula and random sampling techniques. Data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using the classical assumption test and multiple linear regression. The results showed that service quality (X1) had a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction with a regression coefficient of 0.403. Customer experience (X2) also had a positive and significant effect with a coefficient of 0.322. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence customer satisfaction with an F-value of 502.011. The coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.803 indicates that 80.3% of the variation in customer satisfaction is influenced by these two variables, while the remaining 19.7% is influenced by factors outside the model. Companies are advised to improve the professionalism of their assistance and create a warmer travel atmosphere to strengthen pilgrim loyalty.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the digital capabilities of MSMEs and rice field tourism managers in Pematang Johar Village, Deli Serdang Regency, through the implementation of digital marketing to support sustainable tourism development. This village has significant potential in the agrotourism and local product sectors, but has not been fully optimized through technology-based promotional strategies. The activity was implemented using a participatory and educational approach, including preparation, training, mentoring, and evaluation. A total of 30 participants consisting of MSMEs and village tourism managers participated in training on creating digital business accounts, designing promotional content, and implementing marketing strategies through social media and marketplaces. Evaluation was carried out through pre- and post-tests to measure participants' understanding, as well as field observations of the practical application of the training outcomes. The results showed significant improvement, with 87% of participants able to operate digital promotional media independently. The implementation of digital marketing strategies had a positive impact on increasing local product sales by 40% and tourist visits by 25%. This activity demonstrated that digitalization of tourism promotion and MSMEs can strengthen the synergy between sustainable tourism and community economic empowerment, as well as create a technology-based, inclusive and sustainable tourism village development model.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of organizational culture on internal communication and team performance in multinational companies. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with managers and employees and a quantitative survey to examine the relationships between organizational culture, communication, and team performance. The findings reveal that a strong organizational culture positively affects internal communication effectiveness, with clear and consistent communication channels enhancing collaboration and alignment among team members. Additionally, the study highlights the significant role of trust, leadership, and cultural integration in fostering effective communication and high team performance. Multinational companies with a unified organizational culture demonstrated higher levels of teamwork, cooperation, and overall performance, while fragmented cultures led to communication breakdowns and reduced team effectiveness. The results emphasize the importance of cultural cohesion, inclusivity, and adaptability in creating a conducive work environment for global teams. This research provides valuable insights for managers in multinational organizations, suggesting that cultivating a strong, trust-based, and inclusive organizational culture can improve communication, enhance collaboration, and drive team success across diverse cultural contexts.
