Abstract

Objective: This study examines the benefits of online brand community interactivity in social media in the Indonesian automotive sector. Design/Methods/Approach: The proposed model was empirically assessed using survey data from 332 Indonesian-based automobile online brand community members on social media. In addition, the link between the constructs in the research model was examined using SEM PLS. Findings: The findings strongly link perceived interactivity and community benefits. In Addition, the results also demonstrate that community members' trust in a brand strongly and positively impacts brand loyalty. Special treatment and a sense of membership increase members' trust in the brand and community satisfaction. However, social influence has negligible effects on community satisfaction. Originality/Value: This study combines value, trust, and satisfaction as the mediating variables in the relationship between interactivity in the online community and loyalty. Practical/Policy implication: Given the results, brands should provide flexibility to access information or content by optimizing the usage of social media features that members can easily access anytime, such as adding links to the Instagram bio or description on Facebook or WhatsApp groups. Enhancing these community benefits can be done by ensuring that the information circulated within the community is accurate and informative.

This study determines the effect of eWOM factors: informational determinants (perceived eWOM usefulness and eWOM perceived credibility of online reviews); personal determinants (using experience of eWOM and product involvement); and the effects of negative reviews (perceived diagnosticity of negative reviews and negative review impression) on purchase intention in traveling applications through some mediating variables (attitude toward online review, attitude toward product, attitude toward brand, and eWOM adoption). This study uses Information Adoption Model and integrates consumer attitude. There were 356 respondents collected through online survey and purposive sampling. Further, Structural Equation Modeling was employed to analyze 17 hypotheses. The results showed that only perceived credibility of online review has no indirect impact on purchase intention.

Abstract

This research examines the impact of sensory marketing cues and brand experience on emotional attachment, customer commitment, and brand loyalty in the luxury wristwatch industry. The study, conducted with 323 Indonesian consumers who purchased luxury wristwatches, reveals significant associations among sensory marketing cues, brand experience, emotional attachment, customer commitment, and brand loyalty. However, the effect of store image was found to be insignificant in moderating the connections between sensory marketing cues, brand experience, and emotional attachment. These findings highlight the importance of sensory marketing cues and brand experience in fostering emotional attachment and customer commitment, ultimately leading to brand loyalty. The results provide valuable insights for luxury wristwatch manufacturers and distributors in Indonesia to enhance customer loyalty through effective marketing strategies and optimized retail experiences. However, caution must be exercised in generalizing these implications to other countries or industries. Additionally, this study contributes to the literature on brand loyalty, particularly in the luxury wristwatch industry, by addressing the challenges posed by emerging substitutes such as advanced smartwatches and offering guidance on maintaining brand loyalty amidst increasing competition.

Abstract

Competition in the beauty industry in Indonesia raises problem of loyalty with various choices and information accessibility from the Internet. Issues also surface from Generation Z, recently reported to dominate the market as digitally savvy and tends to be disloyal to one brand. The research aimed to analyze the factors that increased brand loyalty in the local cosmetics industry, specifically from Generation Z in Indonesia, through brand love and the mediation effects of self-esteem, susceptibility to normative influence, and social media brand engagement. The research applied a quantitative approach by distributing online questionnaires and purposive sampling to 321 respondents. The data obtained were processed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Square approach (PLS) using SmartPLS. The results show a direct relationship between brand love and brand loyalty, brand love with the mediating variables (self-esteem, susceptibility to normative influence, and social media brand engagement), and two dimensions of social media brand engagement (affective and behavioral social media brand engagement) with brand loyalty. The other two mediating variables, such as self-esteem and susceptibility to normative influence and behavioral social media brand engagement, do not affect brand loyalty. However, the mediating effect only exists through affective and behavioral dimensions in increasing brand love relationships with brand loyalty. The research contributes to Indonesia’s business practitioners retaining their consumers amid intense competition by utilizing affective and behavioral factors in giving information on social media.

Abstract

This study examines the relationships between six constructs: e-service quality, customer e-satisfaction service quality, customer satisfaction, customer e-loyalty, and electronic word-of-mouth (EWOM). The study collected data from 452 respondents who are customers of PLN and have used the PLN Mobile application. The study found that customer e-loyalty can be directly and indirectly influenced by service and e-service quality. Both customer satisfaction and e-satisfaction can mediate the influence of service quality and e-service quality on customer e-loyalty. Therefore, PLN needs to ensure service quality (both through the application and field personnel) and customer satisfaction with the services provided to enhance customer satisfaction and foster electronic loyalty, encouraging customers to continue using the PLN Mobile application. The study also reveals that customer e-loyalty positively and significantly influences EWOM.

Abstract

The purpose of the research conducted was to understand the relationship of internal factors of SME digitalization on the company's financial performance during the pandemic to test 5 hypotheses. This study used a survey method, questionnaires to get respondents' answers. A purposive technique was used and managed to collect 359 respondents who had small to medium medium-scale businesses. Furthermore, the research model was tested statistically with PLS-SEM analysis techniques. Based on the results of data processing and analysis, it is proven that all hypotheses are acceptable, which shows that the internal factors of digitalization of SME companies, namely information and technology, employee skills, and digital strategies, have a positive and significant effect on the digitalization of SME companies. Furthermore, digitalization affects the company's financial performance where employee skills have the largest variable of the three factors. Digitalization is able to mediate the influence of information and technology, employee capabilities, and digital strategies on the financial performance of SMEs. This result shows that digitalization is also important, especially during a pandemic where SMEs must adapt to technology so that they can survive by maintaining their business performance. These findings add to the empirical development of literature on SME digitization factors such as information and technology, employee skills, and digital strategies. In addition, this study also provides an understanding of how much influence these three factors can affect the digitalization of SMEs. Keywords— Digitalization; Employee Skill; Financial Performance; Information and Technology; SMEs

Abstract

The garment industry is currently facing considerable challenges in meeting the demands of overseas buyers. The fast fashion trend has shortened garmen production cycles and forced garmen factories to work with reliable suppliers, especially sewing thread suppliers, to fulfil the production needs of garmen factories in a short period of time. This research emphasises the importance of building strategic partnerships between garmen factories and sewing thread suppliers within the framework of B2B marketing relationships to ensure an effective and sustainable supply chain. Previous research states that there is a positive influence between commitment, trust, and relative dependence on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in distributor and seller relationships. This study builds a model to further analyse the influence of Affective Commitment, Instrumental Commitment, Capability-based Trust, Benevolence-based Trust, and Relative Dependence factors to achieve customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in the relationship between garmen factories and sewing thread suppliers. The research method used is quantitative method with data collection through surveys sent to garmen factories located in Banten, West Java, and DKI Jakarta Provinces. Data analysis was conducted using SmartPLS to determine the relationship between the research variables.The findings of this study state that Affective Commitment, Instrumental Commitment, Capability-based Trust, and Benevolence-based Trust can increase customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, but relative dependence was found to have no significant effect on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. These findings provide new insights for companies in developing their business strategies.
