Abstract

English is a mandatory course learned by the students of Del Institute of Technology. One of graduates’ quality targets is the ability of English language indicated by TOEFL score at least 515. Motivation and attitudes are considered important determinants in learning language. This study investigated the relationship among students’ learning motivation, attitudes and their English learning achievement at Del Institute of Technology. The attitudes analyzed were students’ attitude towards English learning, English language, English towards native speaker, and English lecturer. The research design used was the analysis of quantitative correlation. The data were taken by distributing a questionnaire to 120 respondents and interviewing them randomly. The result showed that students’ learning motivation in English was medium indicated by (M=2.90) on a scale from 1 – 4, attitude towards learning English was positive (M=2.90), attitude towards English language (M=3.39), attitude towards English native speaker was positive (M=3.01), attitude towards English lecturer was positive (M=3.14). The findings also showed that there is no significant relationship among motivation, attitudes and learning achievement.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to produce ulos revitalization and create added value for the green sustainability of ulos production, oriented branding and its marketing so as to increase the life force of weavers and micro-entrepreneurs. Respondents are weavers and training entrepreneurs of ulos, retailers with a total of 316 people engaged in the production and service of Ulos production. Data collection was conducted by survey methods and questionnaires with statements used on a scale of 1-10. Data processing results with SEM AMOS show that green sustainability of Ulos oriented branding (GSB) proved unable to mediate between Product Innovation (PDI), Process Innovation (PCI) and Marketing Performance (MPF). In other words, green sustainability does not directly prove an improvement in marketing performance. GSG shows that it is able to improve Order Management (OMG). The process emphasizes on the relevance of green sustainability, it can be seen that PDI and PCI are proven to improve GSB. Sustainability of green branding can only be achieved when there is product and process innovation. SDL demonstrates the need for the development of new service innovations by investigating the prerequisites and general principles for developing sustainability. Dominant logic treats services as a category of market offerings to be developed and managed like ulos products. The concept of service design has been developed referring to a subset of "green" processes associated with rendering activities to define a concept, structure, or service infrastructure. This research invites ulos observers to understand the values of Ulos authenticity and its culture in sustainable entrepreneurship, inviting weavers and entrepreneurs to have prosocial motives that influence their interest in sustainable ulos entrepreneurship and the role of academia in promoting sustainable entrepreneurial practices.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of service quality and brand equity on customer loyalty at Sippin Balige, which operates in a competitive tourism-based market environment. This study addresses the empirical gap where service quality and brand equity are rated highly by customers, but do not significantly shape loyalty. Using a quantitative approach and involving 200 respondents, data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed through validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and bootstrapping. The results show that service quality and brand equity have a positive but insignificant effect on customer loyalty, both partially and simultaneously. Bootstrapping analysis reinforced these findings, where the coefficient estimates were stable but the confidence intervals still crossed zero. These findings indicate that customer loyalty is not only determined by service quality and brand equity, but is also influenced by other factors. This study makes a theoretical contribution by highlighting the paradox between positive customer perceptions and low loyalty in the context of the contemporary beverage industry in tourist areas such as Balige.

Abstract

This study examines the development of social media–based marketing strategies for Christina Ulos, a traditional Batak ulos business, by integrating SWOT analysis and Porter’s Five Forces to understand its competitive position in the digital marketplace. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a participatory case study approach, data were collected through interviews, field observations, and supporting literature. The results show that Christina Ulos holds strong internal advantages, such as a long-standing reputation, authentic handwoven craftsmanship, deep cultural meaning in every motif, and a loyal customer base. However, challenges arise from limited production capacity, low digital literacy, and dependence on traditional sales channels. Externally, increasing public interest in local cultural products, government support for UMKM digitalization, and the growth of social media platforms offer significant opportunities. Yet, the presence of low-cost machine-made ulos, shifting consumer preferences, and intense digital competition pose substantial threats. The combined SWOT and Porter’s analyses highlight that social media marketing strategies should focus on cultural storytelling, consumer education about authentic handwoven ulos, optimization of high-quality visual content, marketplace integration, and influencer collaboration. This study concludes that an aggressive and adaptive digital marketing approach is essential for strengthening competitive advantage, expanding market reach, and preserving Batak cultural heritage in the modern digital environment

Abstract

This article explores the portrait of tourism entrepreneurship in the context of a super-priority destination. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a survey of 73 tourism entrepreneurs and an in-depth interview with four entrepreneurs representing the dominant business sectors of food and beverage service, creative business, accommodation, and tourist attraction within the destination. The findings revealed that most businesses were relevant to food and beverage and creative initiatives. They were relatively mature in the tourism business, with the primary motive for the business opportunity being financial benefits. The critical business challenges identified were inadequate marketing prowess, reduction in demand, shortage of human skills and lack of collaboration among stakeholders. In general, the current development of tourism entrepreneurship in this area is in a phase of slight increase. The findings contributed to the enrichment of the literature on tourism entrepreneurship. This study also supported business development, informed policymakers, and promoted sustainable tourism development.

Abstract

Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) memiliki peran penting dalam mendukung perekonomian daerah, khususnya di Kabupaten Samosir yang merupakan kawasan strategis pariwisata Danau Toba. Karakteristik Samosir sebagai destinasi pariwisata prioritas menciptakan dinamika pasar yang berbeda dibandingkan daerah lain, sehingga diperlukan kajian mengenai faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi inovasi produk dan kinerja UMKM pada konteks tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh orientasi pasar dan kemampuan kewirausahaan terhadap inovasi produk serta pengaruh inovasi produk terhadap kinerja UMKM di Kabupaten Samosir. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Data diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner kepada 100 pelaku UMKM yang bergerak pada sektor kuliner, perdagangan, kerajinan, jasa, dan usaha lainnya di Kabupaten Samosir, dengan teknik purposive sampling berdasarkan kriteria pelaku UMKM yang aktif menjalankan usahanya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orientasi pasar tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap inovasi produk. Sebaliknya, kemampuan kewirausahaan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap inovasi produk, serta inovasi produk berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja UMKM. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan kewirausahaan menjadi faktor penting dalam mendorong terciptanya inovasi produk yang pada akhirnya dapat meningkatkan kinerja UMKM. Penelitian ini memberikan implikasi bahwa penguatan kapasitas kewirausahaan dan pengembangan inovasi produk perlu menjadi fokus utama dalam upaya meningkatkan daya saing dan kinerja UMKM di Kabupaten Samosir sebagai kawasan pariwisata Danau Toba.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of Service MSMEs and Service Design on Value Co-Creation through the mediating role of Experiential Authenticity in tourism MSMEs in Samosir Regency. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected from 130 tourists who had interacted directly with tourism MSME services in Samosir Regency using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that Service MSMEs have a positive and significant influence on Experiential Authenticity. In addition, Service Design was also found to positively and significantly influence Experiential Authenticity. Furthermore, Experiential Authenticity has a positive and significant influence on Value Co-Creation. The results suggest that the quality of service interactions, integration of local cultural values, and well-structured service designs contribute to the formation of authentic tourism experiences and strengthen tourists’ participation in the value creation process. This research contributes to the development of tourism marketing literature within the perspective of Service-Dominant Logic by explaining the role of authentic experiences in encouraging Value Co-Creation in tourism MSMEs.
