Abstract

Purpose: This study explores factors influencing users’ behavioral intention and actual usage of the BIMA mobile banking application by PT Bank Jateng. It applies the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), enhanced with contextual variables such as mobile self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment, and satisfaction. Research/methodology: A quantitative approach was conducted through a survey of 384 BIMA users. Data were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS. Reliability and validity were tested with AVE and Composite Reliability, while model fit was assessed through SRMR, NFI, R², and Q² values. Results: Of 13 hypothesized paths, 10 were supported. Mobile self-efficacy strongly affected perceived enjoyment, which significantly influenced performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and satisfaction. Satisfaction emerged as the most influential factor on intention to use, which in turn impacted usage behavior. Social influence and facilitating conditions also contributed positively. However, performance expectancy did not significantly affect satisfaction, and both effort expectancy and facilitating conditions showed no significant effect on intention to use. Conclusions: Emotional factors like enjoyment and satisfaction, together with social influence, dominate over functional aspects in shaping adoption and continued use of mobile banking, suggesting a shift toward user experience-driven digital banking strategies. Limitations: The study is limited to one application, cross-sectional design, and PLS-SEM, reducing broader generalization. Contribution: This research extends UTAUT by incorporating emotional and contextual variables, providing practical insights for  enhancing user experience and digital adoption in regional banking.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effectiveness of Social Media Marketing Activities (SMMA) in enhancing brand loyalty at PT. Mumpuni Inti Mandiri. It evaluates customer perceptions of SMMA, self-brand connection, brand equity, brand trust, and their influence on brand loyalty. Method: A quantitative positivist approach was applied. Data were gathered through online surveys targeting PT customers. Mumpuni Inti Mandiri. Structural equation Modelling (SEM) using Partial Least Squares (PLS) via SmartPLS 3.2.6 was employed to analyze the data. Validity and reliability tests ensured the accuracy of the instruments. The hypotheses were tested using one-tailed T-statistics. Results: The results show that Customer perceptions of SMMA, self-brand connection, brand equity, brand trust, and brand loyalty were in the high category. SMMA significantly influences self-brand connection, brand equity, and brand trust. Moreover, brand loyalty is affected both directly and indirectly by these mediators. This implies that PT. Mumpuni Inti Mandiri’s social media strategies are effective in fostering emotional connection, consumer trust, and long-term loyalty. Conclusions: SMMA plays a vital role in building brand loyalty by enhancing brand-related psychological factors. Integrated social media marketing efforts have proven to be valuable in creating strong brand-consumer relationships. Limitations: The study’s scope was limited to one company and used self-reported survey data, which may affect generalizability. Contribution and Novelty: This study introduces an integrated model that connects SMMA with brand loyalty through emotional and cognitive pathways, offering insights into effective digital branding strategies in emerging markets.
