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.

Abstract

The research aims to explore Generation Z's perceptions of social media marketing (SMM) effectiveness for brand building in religious-based private schools, addressing a crucial gap in the literature by examining how SMM influences various facets of brand perception and student behavior within this specific educational niche. Specifically, it investigates SMM's impact on brand attitude, image, intention, and recommendation, utilizing a quantitative descriptive design with primary data collected through surveys and employing probability sampling among 200 high school students via an online survey. Data analysis, conducted using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with the assistance of the SmartPLS statistical program, reveals a positive and significant relationship between SMM and both brand attitude and brand image, as well as a significant positive correlation between SMM and students' intention to choose a faith-based educational institution and their intention to recommend it. Additionally, a significant positive relationship between brand attitude and brand image is observed, with brand image also displaying a significant positive association with students' intention to choose a faith-based educational institution and their intention to recommend it, thereby providing valuable practical and theoretical insights.

Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing eSIM adoption intention among consumers in Indonesia, where the technology remains relatively new. Using a quantitative research design, data was gathered from 150 respondents via a structured questionnaire. The analysis, conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), identifies key determinants, including perceived ease of use, perceived benefits, and environmental awareness. Results show that ease of use is the most significant factor driving eSIM adoption, with consumers favoring the simplicity and efficiency of the technology. Environmental awareness also plays a critical role, as consumers appreciate the eco-friendly aspect of eSIMs, which eliminates the need for plastic SIM cards. Price sensitivity is another major determinant, with cost considerations influencing adoption decisions. The study provides valuable insights for mobile network operators and marketers, suggesting that promoting the environmental and practical benefits of eSIMs could accelerate adoption. These findings contribute to the broader understanding of technology adoption in emerging markets and offer guidance on optimizing marketing strategies to foster consumer acceptance of eSIM technology.

Kedua, keterlibatan pasien dalam pengambilan keputusan meningkatkan rasa pemberdayaan dan kontrol mereka, yang mengarah pada kepuasan yang lebih besar. Ketiga, perawatan berkualitas tinggi, yang ditandai dengan kompetensi, keandalan, dan ketepatan waktu, sangat penting untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pasien secara efisien dan mengurangi waktu tunggu. Keempat, lingkungan perawatan kesehatan yang bersih, mudah diakses, dan terawat dengan baik secara signifikan mempengaruhi persepsi dan kenyamanan pasien. Kelima, keselamatan pasien dan hasil perawatan yang positif sangat penting, karena perawatan yang meminimalkan risiko dan memastikan peningkatan kesehatan akan membangun kepercayaan. Keenam, integrasi teknologi, seperti kecerdasan buatan dan telemedicine, meningkatkan kenyamanan, efisiensi, dan perawatan yang dipersonalisasi, menyesuaikan layanan dengan kebutuhan individu. Terakhir, faktor sosio-demografis, termasuk usia, pendapatan, pendidikan, dan perbedaan budaya, serta kebijakan dan reformasi sistem perawatan kesehatan, membentuk ekspektasi dan tingkat kepuasan.

Abstract

Although there is a lot of research that discusses social media marketing, there is still not much that discusses the relationship between social media marketing and brand personality, especially not yet found research on social media marketing and brand personality involving brand gestalt variables. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of social media marketing (SMM) on brand personality with brand gestalt as mediating variable on Starbucks Indonesia customers. This study used a quantitative descriptive method using primary data obtained from 232 respondents of Starbucks Indonesia customers within 3 months. The data analysis process uses the Structural Equation Model (SEM) which is carried out through the SmartPLS statistical program. The results of the study show that SMM does not have a direct positive and significant impact on brand personality but has a positive and significant impact on brand gestalt dimensions and their gestalt dimensions also have a positive and significant impact on brand personality. Furthermore, brand gestalt dimension fully mediates the effect of SMM on brand personality. This research provides additional literacy on SMM, brand personality and brand gestalt and provides information to practitioners in using SMM and brand gestalt in forming their brand personality.

Abstract

The primary focus of this study is to analyze how brand gestalt affects the brand equity of Bali as a destination for tourism. Previous research has not delved deeply into this area, leaving a gap in both practical and theoretical understanding. Therefore, this study seeks to address this gap by establishing a stronger link between various aspects of brand gestalt and brand equity. Data from 305 individuals who had visited Bali, Indonesia, was collected to validate the dimensions of the brand gestalt scale. Using a Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis with the smartPLS statistical program, the proposed model was tested. The results indicated that not all dimensions of brand gestalt (story, sensescape, servicescape, and stakeholder) have a positive and significant impact on components of brand equity such as perceived quality, brand awareness, brand image, brand associations, and brand loyalty. While servicescape does show significant influences on all component of brand equity, the story dimension only has a significant impact on brand associations and brand loyalty, in contrast to stakeholder dimension, which does not significantly affect these components.
