Abstract

The food and beverage industry in Indonesia experienced significant growth, driven by changes in urban lifestyles, including the rising popularity of coffee consumption across generations. Kedai Kopi Kulo, despite its initial success during its early establishment, faced challenges as evidenced by a decline in its Top Brand Index from 2020 to 2024. This decline was suspected to be linked to decreasing levels of customer loyalty. This study evaluated the influence of service quality, price fairness, and store atmosphere on customer loyalty, with customer satisfaction serving as a mediating variable. The research adopted a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional survey of 205 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS. The findings revealed that price fairness and store atmosphere had a positive and significant impact on customer satisfaction, which in turn affected customer loyalty. However, service quality did not significantly influence either variable. These results provided strategic insights for Kedai Kopi Kulo, emphasizing the importance of focusing on price fairness and store atmosphere to enhance customer loyalty.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of sensory experience and perceived price on word-of-mouth (WOM) recommendation, with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable, in the context of Wolf Gang’s Steakhouse Jakarta. Using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, sensory experience and perceived price serve as stimuli, customer satisfaction as the organism, and WOM recommendation as the response. Data were collected through purposive sampling from 218 respondents who had dined at the restaurant. The analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3. Results reveal that sensory experience and perceived price have significant positive effects on customer satisfaction, which in turn significantly influences WOM recommendation. Additionally, both sensory experience and perceived price directly and indirectly affect WOM recommendation through partial mediation by customer satisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing sensory aspects such as taste, aroma, presentation, and freshness, alongside maintaining fair and transparent pricing, to improve satisfaction and encourage positive WOM. The study contributes theoretically by reinforcing the mediating role of customer satisfaction in the SOR model and provides practical insights for fine dining managers to improve customer experiences and strengthen competitive positioning. Keywords: Sensory Experience, Perceived Price, Customer Satisfaction, WOM Recommendation

Abstract

In this study, price, product quality, and corporate image were examined for their influence on customer satisfaction and loyalty. The study focused on customers of Shell gas stations in Jakarta, involving 216 samples. The data collected through a questionnaire instrument (G-form) was analyzed by the researcher using SmartPLS4 software. It was found that all exogenous variables in this study influenced satisfaction and loyalty. Customer satisfaction also proved to be an important mediator in the relationship between all exogenous variables and loyalty in the gas station sector in Jakarta. Additionally, the study results showed that price and product quality had a direct positive impact on loyalty. However, corporate image was found to have a negative but insignificant effect on loyalty, indicating that while a positive image plays an important role, this factor does not directly determine loyalty without the support of competitive and consistent pricing and product quality. Beyond its contribution to academic literature, this study provides practical insights for Shell regarding the importance of fair pricing strategies and the delivery of appropriate product quality to enhance satisfaction and sustain loyalty. On the other hand, corporate image requires a more strategic, integrated, and sustainable approach to strengthen long-term relationships with customers.

Abstract

The significance of customer loyalty in the banking industry has gained more importance, particularly due to the recent technological advancements. With the growing number of emerging digital banking services, customers demand banks to develop mobile banking apps with superior online features and qualities. This study aims to investigate how utilitarian and hedonic qualities impact online loyalty through the mediating roles of online satisfaction and online trust in digital banking services. The study collected responses from 251 digital banking service customers living in Jakarta. The results indicate that hedonic qualities significantly enhance online satisfaction, online trust, and online loyalty. Utilitarian qualities are confirmed to enhance online satisfaction and online trust directly. However, utilitarian qualities are not found to be directly linked to online loyalty. Furthermore, this research concludes that both online satisfaction and online trust mediate the relationships between utilitarian and hedonic qualities and online loyalty.

Abstract

Global warming has become an issue for the whole world until now. The cause of global warming is air pollution produced by engine fuels from various automotives that can produce carbon dioxide. This encourages people to be more concerned about the environment, including the automotive industry. The rise of the movement to care for the environment encourages automotive companies to make electric car products which can be a solution to reduce pollution. In recent years, electric cars have started to enter the market in Indonesia. However, this is not well received by the Indonesian people. This is related to the low purchase intention of the electric car itself. The purpose of this study was to determine empirically the effect of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and price sensitivity on consumer purchased intention of electric cars in Jakarta. This study uses data collected from 153 respondents who are people who at least are undergoing undergraduate studies and have knowledge of electric cars in Jakarta. The data was obtained by distributing an online questionnaire in the form of a google form through social media. The data is then processed using SmartPLS 3.2.9 software. The results of this study are attitude, subjective norm, and price sensitivity have a positive and significant influence on the purchase intention of electric cars in Jakarta. Meanwhile, perceived behavioral control has no effect on the purchase intention of electric cars in Jakarta.
