Abstract

The development of digital technology makes the brand community a key strategy to build loyalty in the beauty industry. This study examines the "Glow Up Agents" community by BHUMI Skincare, using the KITE (Knowledge, Involvement, Trust, Engagement) framework to analyze its influence on brand community engagement and brand loyalty. The PLS-SEM method was used with questionnaire data from active members to 184 respondents. The results showed that the entire hypothesized relationship was positively significant: the KITE dimension influenced member participation, which in turn increased brand loyalty. It affirms the important role of understanding, interaction, and trust. Practical advice includes community optimization, while academic advice recommends exploring additional variables for deeper understanding.

Abstract

The growing penetration of the internet and advances in digital technology have significantly enhanced the marketing efforts of training organizations (LPKs) in Indonesia. Although many LPKs utilize digital marketing to support candidate placement in Japan, data from two institutions in East and West Java reveal that most trainees enrolled through channels other than social media. This study examines the impact of digital marketing on purchase intention in Indonesian LPKs. Using data collected from 384 respondents and analyzed with SEM-PLS 4.0, the results confirm a positive and significant relationship between digital marketing and purchase intention. These findings highlight the need for LPKs to develop stronger digital content strategies that resonate with their target audiences. The study is limited to two provinces and a quantitative method, which may not fully capture broader socio-cultural factors.

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 aims to explore the factors influencing users’ behavioral intention and actual usage behavior of the BIMA mobile banking application by PT Bank Jateng. It applies the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), enriched with contextual variables including mobile self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment, and user satisfaction. Research/methodology: A quantitative method was adopted through a structured survey of 384 BIMA users. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS. Validity and reliability were tested using AVE and Composite Reliability, while model fit was assessed through SRMR, NFI, R², and Q² values. Results: Out of 13 hypothesized relationships, 10 were supported. Mobile self-efficacy significantly influenced perceived enjoyment, which in turn strongly affected performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and satisfaction. Consumer satisfaction emerged as the most influential factor affecting intention to use, which subsequently impacted usage behavior. Social influence and facilitating conditions also significantly influenced behavioral outcomes. However, performance expectancy did not significantly influence satisfaction, and both effort expectancy and facilitating conditions showed no significant impact on intention to use. Conclusions: Emotional factors like perceived enjoyment and satisfaction, along with social influences, play a more dominant role than purely functional factors (e.g., effort or performance expectancy) in determining adoption and continued use of mobile banking. The findings suggest a shift from technical-centric to user experience-centric approaches in digital banking development. Limitations: This study focuses solely on the BIMA mobile banking app using a cross-sectional design and PLS-SEM method. It does not account for moderating or mediating variables and may limit generalizability beyond the study context. Contribution: The study extends the UTAUT model by adding emotional and contextual factors to better explain mobile banking usage and offers practical insights for improving user experience and digital adoption in regional banking.

Integrated social media marketing efforts have proven to be valuable in creating strong brand-consumer relationships.

Abstract

This research analyzes how the quality of education services influences student satisfaction, image, and loyalty. All respondents are students of a public senior high school Sumatera Selatan. Student satisfaction is a preference in the subjective evaluation of the entire experience associated with the educational process. Image means the perception of the service provided to the student, consisting of cognitive and communicative perceptions. Loyal students can positively impact learning quality through participation and committed behaviour. In this research, a quantitative method was utilized. The method used was quantitative, with data collection techniques using a questionnaire instrument filled in directly by respondents online and processed using the SEM PLS. The variables of academic and non-academic aspects had a positive but insignificant effect on student satisfaction. On the other hand, program issues, reputation, and access positively and significantly affected student satisfaction. The relationship between the quality of school education services, student satisfaction, school image, and student loyalty, among others, is important to clarify the limitations of this research and serve as a guide for future research.
