Abstract

Although the interplay of social media marketing (SMM) on brand image and purchase intention has been studied extensively, insights into the link between these variables in the context of the local product remain scarce, specifically from generation Z’s customer point of view. Therefore, this study aims to fill this theoretical gap by investigating the role of SMM on brand image and purchase intention of local products in the perception of generation Z. A survey-based data was collected using purposive sampling from 184 respondents of generation Z. The data were then analyzed using SmartPLS statistical software. The result reveals that SMM positively and significantly influences the brand image and Gen Z’s intention to purchase the local product. Meanwhile, brand image was a positive predictor of purchase intention. Additionally, brand image mediates the relationship between SMM and purchase intention, such that SMM influences brand image, leading to purchase intention.

Although the impact of work-life balance and job satisfaction on employee performance has been extensively studied, there still lacks a comprehensive understanding of the interplay among these variables among millennials and generation Z (gen Z) employees. This present inquiry, therefore, aims to systematically analyze how work-life balance and job satisfaction affect millennials’ and gen Z’s performance. Following a systematic literature review approach, relevant studies published in 2018-2022 were derived from two main academic databases (Google scholar and Research gate). Thirty-five peer-reviewed articles were then carefully selected and analyzed. The result shows that (1) work-life balance and job satisfaction positively affect millennial’s and gen Z’s performance; (2) gen Z are more idealists in thriving for work and growth (3) millennials and gen Z put a value on the supportive work environment, supportive supervisor, and career opportunity for job satisfaction (4) millennial and gen Z put a value on flexibility of work hours, annual leave and work from home for work-life balance.

Abstract

This study aims to construct and validate a theoretical framework that explains the impact of social media on café branding and customer loyalty, with brand gestalt serving as a mediating variable. The study employed a quantitative descriptive and correlational research design, collecting data through questionnaires from a sample of 200 Gen Z café customers in Manado City. Participants were recruited using a combination of snowball and convenience sampling techniques. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to explore relationships within the dataset. The results show that SMM significantly impacts the story, servicescape, sensescape, stakeholder, and brand loyalty. Additionally, story, sensescape, and servicescape all significantly influence brand loyalty. Furthermore, Results indicate that the story dimension of brand gestalt mediates the relationship between SMM and brand loyalty. The emphasis on social media marketing may not fully capture the influence of other marketing channels, and the sample size or geographic scope might limit the generalizability of the results. Future research could explore emotional engagement, brand equity, or other digital marketing strategies like influencer and content marketing while expanding to different industries or regions for broader insights. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of brand gestalt by highlighting how specific dimensions—story, sensescape, and servicescape—positively impact customer loyalty. It extends existing theories by demonstrating that these dimensions, along with social media marketing, play crucial roles in shaping brand perceptions and loyalty.

Abstract

This study examines the relationships between product quality, service quality, customer satisfaction, and brand loyalty within the context of e-commerce, with a specific focus on Shopee, a leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia. Using a cross-sectional survey design, the research examines the impact of two exogenous variables—product quality and service quality—on customer satisfaction, as well as the mediating role of customer satisfaction in influencing brand loyalty. The research was conducted with 220 respondents and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS. The findings reveal that both product quality and service quality significantly influence customer satisfaction. However, service quality alone does not have a direct effect on brand loyalty. Importantly, customer satisfaction plays a critical mediating role, especially between service quality and brand loyalty. These results highlight the importance of enhancing customer satisfaction to foster brand loyalty, offering valuable insights for businesses seeking to improve their service offerings and strengthen customer loyalty. The study suggests that companies should prioritize customer satisfaction as a key mediator in their service and quality strategies.
