Abstract

In the digital age, social media has emerged as a powerful communication tool for higher education institutions to engage with students and disseminate information. This study aims to examine students’ perceptions of the appeal of Instagram advertisements as an informational medium at a faith-based private university. Employing a descriptive research design, primary data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to students at a faith-based university located in Airmadidi, North Sulawesi. The study involved a purposive sample of 200 respondents, selected based on their active use of Instagram and their following of the university’s official Instagram account. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. The findings indicate that students' perceptions have a significant positive influence on the perceived appeal of Instagram advertisements as an effective medium for university-related information. These results suggest that faith-based universities can strategically leverage social media platforms like Instagram to enhance their communication and engagement with students.

Abstract

The attractiveness of sustainable tourism destinations plays a crucial role in promoting responsible travel behaviors and supporting long-term destination development. This study aims to systematically identify and analyze the key determinants contributing to the attractiveness of sustainable tourism destinations. Employing a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, this research analyzes peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2010 and 2024, retrieved from the Scopus database. Guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, a rigorous screening, data extraction, and synthesis process was conducted, resulting in a final sample of 126 relevant studies. The findings reveal six major factors influencing sustainable tourism destination attractiveness: tourist satisfaction, destination image and branding, crisis management, perceived quality and visitor experience, environmental and climate change concerns, and research, evaluation, and planning efforts. These insights offer practical implications for policymakers, tourism planners, and destination marketers seeking to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of tourism destinations in a rapidly evolving global context.

Abstract

Public health services play a crucial role in fulfilling the basic needs of society, particularly in ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare. This study aims to analyze the impact of service quality on patient satisfaction and loyalty at Manado Advent Hospital, a faith-based private hospital in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Using a quantitative research design, this study employed the SERVQUAL framework, which encompasses five dimensions: tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. Data were collected from a sample of 208 inpatients through structured questionnaires distributed in September to October 2024. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was conducted using SmartPLS to test 11 proposed hypotheses. The findings indicate that four service quality dimensions, tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, and empathy, positively and significantly influence patient satisfaction, which in turn significantly affects patient loyalty. These results underscore the mediating role of patient satisfaction in enhancing loyalty, emphasizing the need for management to focus on specific quality dimensions to improve overall service performance. The study offers theoretical and practical implications for service quality improvement strategies in faith-based healthcare institutions.

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 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.
