Abstract

Social media has become a pivotal tool in shaping destination branding strategies, profoundly influencing tourists’ perceptions and behaviors. This study aims to systematically review the existing literature to examine the intersection of social media marketing and destination branding, with the goal of identifying dominant research themes, theoretical gaps, and future research directions. Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, the study analyzes peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2010 and 2025, sourced from the Scopus database. Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework, rigorous screening, data extraction, and synthesis were applied. The final dataset includes 103 relevant studies, with 66 articles subjected to in-depth bibliometric and content analysis. VOSviewer was employed for data visualization and thematic clustering. The findings reveal eight key thematic clusters: Social Media and Co-Creation, Sustainability in Branding, Digital Engagement, Emotional and Experiential Branding, Place Identity, and Brand Equity. The results offer critical insights into how social media facilitates brand co-creation and emotional resonance in destination marketing and highlight underexplored areas for future investigation. This review contributes to both academic scholarship and practical strategy development by offering a comprehensive thematic map of the evolving discourse on social media and destination branding.

Abstract

This research analyzes the factors influencing consumer intentions to use credit cards among Millennial and Gen Z customers. Data was collected through a survey of 200 Millennial and Gen Z credit card users. A self-developed questionnaire consisting of 32 questions was constructed from in-depth interviews with 12 Millennial and Gen Z customers. Data analysis was conducted using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with varimax rotation and principal component analysis (PCA) to identify the underlying factors shaping consumer intentions. EFA with varimax rotation was chosen to simplify the factor structure, enhancing interpretability by maximizing the variance of squared loadings. PCA was applied as an extraction method to reduce the dataset to its most significant components, offering a clearer understanding of the key dimensions affecting consumer intentions. Findings reveal six important factors, including advertisement effectiveness, customer support, convenience, benefits, brand image, and accessibility, that significantly influence Millennial and Gen Z customers' decisions to use credit cards. These insights provide valuable implications for financial institutions aiming to attract more customers by aligning product offerings and marketing strategies with the expectations and preferences of younger consumers.

Abstract

This study investigates the mediating role of employee job satisfaction in the relationship between organizational culture and employee performance within government-owned banks. The research design selected for this study was descriptive, quantitative, and causal. A quantitative survey was conducted to gather data from 110 employees of a government-owned bank in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed as the primary method of data analysis facilitated by SmartPLS software. The results indicate that organizational culture significantly and positively influences job satisfaction, while job satisfaction similarly has a significant and positive impact on employee performance. Furthermore, organizational culture emerges as a significant determinant of employee performance. Additionally, the study reveals that job satisfaction effectively mediates the relationship between organizational culture and employee performance. The practical implications of these results hold significance for organizations, particularly government-owned banks, in enhancing employee performance and organizational effectiveness. By cultivating a culture that aligns with employees' values and fosters engagement, organizations can boost job satisfaction levels, enhancing overall employee performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between social media marketing (SMM), brand gestalt, and brand loyalty. Using a quantitative survey, this research focuses on customers of the online store VictoriaThings. A convenience sampling method was employed, resulting in 265 participants in the survey. After confirming validity and reliability, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the hypotheses. The findings reveal a significant relationship between SMM and the four dimensions of brand gestalt (Story, Sensescape, Servicescape, and Stakeholder). Additionally, the dimensions of Sensescape, Servicescape, and Story within the brand gestalt framework emerged as significant predictors of Customer Loyalty. This study offers valuable insights for businesses aiming to develop effective social media marketing strategies that leverage brand gestalt to enhance brand loyalty and achieve strategic goals.

Abstract

This study aims to examine consumer behavior in healthcare by consolidating fragmented findings, identifying dominant themes, and providing a coherent framework for future research. Through a systematic literature review, five interconnected research streams were identified: educational and behavioral interventions, system-level healthcare delivery, psychological and behavioral drivers, technology-mediated experiences, and demographic and social determinants. Based on this synthesis, four strategic directions are proposed for future research: patient-centered segmentation and behavioral profiling to tailor nursing services, experiential factors influencing patient satisfaction and loyalty; ethical and cultural dimensions of consumer expectations, especially in multicultural and aging populations, and consumer feedback and engagement in co-designing nursing services. These insights offer a roadmap for developing inclusive, responsive, and emotionally intelligent healthcare systems. The study contributes to the literature by integrating diverse perspectives into a unified structure, enabling researchers and practitioners to better understand and respond to evolving consumer needs in healthcare. Implications include the need for personalized care models, culturally sensitive frameworks, and investment in digital health tools.

Abstract

Purpose: Expatriate job satisfaction has emerged as a critical topic in the context of increasing global workforce mobilities. This study aims to understand how lifestyle, job security, and work-life balance affect the job satisfaction of Indonesian expatriates living and working in Thailand. Methodology/approach: A quantitative research method was employed. A survey with structured questionnaires was administered to 200 Indonesian expatriates who had worked in Thailand for more than one year. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of SmartPLS software to examine the relationships between the factors. Results: The study found that lifestyle, job security, and work-life balance all have a positive and significant impact on job satisfaction. It also showed that work-life balance plays an important role in connecting lifestyle and job security to the overall job satisfaction. Conclusions: Non-financial factors such as a good lifestyle, feeling secure in one’s job, and having a balance between work and personal life are very important for Indonesian expatriates’ job satisfaction. Employers and decision-makers should seriously consider these factors. Limitations: The study only focused on Indonesian expatriates in Thailand who had worked there for more than a year; therefore, the results might not apply to all expatriates or other countries. Contribution: This study provides insights for employers, HR professionals, and policymakers in Indonesia on improving job satisfaction and reducing the need for skilled workers to move abroad. It adds to the fields of international human resource management and expatriate studies.
