Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the influence of political communication strategy models, namely the bandwagon effect, expected utility, and simple candidate preferences partially on voters' voting decisions, as well as to analyze the similarities and differences in the effectiveness of implementing these political communication strategy models among the three candidate pairs. Method: The research approach is quantitative. The population is the millennial generation of Indonesian citizens (WNI) registered on the Permanent Voter List (DPT) in DKI Jakarta Province who have characteristics as millennials, voted in the presidential election on February 14, 2024, and before the election day had the opportunity to participate in the political communication of the three presidential candidates through social media platforms. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. Secondary data collection techniques through study desks, while primary data collection techniques through survey and interview methods. The data analysis technique uses Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Result: The results of the study indicate that the simple candidate preference model has a significant influence in shaping people's political choices through social imitation mechanisms and perceptions of candidate popularity. Conclusion: The bandwagon effect that emerges can increase political participation and awareness of the democratic process, but also has the potential to reduce the quality of political rationality if it is not balanced with critical political education.

Abstract

The 2024 Indonesian Presidential Election demonstrated the imbalance in political communication power between the three candidate pairs: Prabowo–Gibran (PRAGIB), Anies–Muhaimin (AMIN), and Ganjar–Mahfud (GAMA). This imbalance is evident in each pair's ability to leverage voter behavior through three models: the bandwagon effect, expected utility, and simple candidate preference as proposed by Abramowitz (1989). This study aims to compare the political communication power of the three candidate pairs in implementing these three models of voter behavior in the 2024 Presidential Election. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a focus on the political communication strategies of the three candidate pairs. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with two key informants involved in national political surveys and campaign political communications. Analysis was conducted using comparative analysis techniques to identify patterns of intensity and effectiveness of each pair's communication strategies. The results show that PRAGIB is the most dominant pair in the three models of voter behavior. They succeeded in maximizing the bandwagon effect through mass mobilization, media support, and digital campaigns. In the expected utility model, PRAGIB stands out through concrete program promises that are easily understood by the public. In simple candidate preference, Prabowo's personal image and Gibran's association with President Jokowi generated a simple but highly effective preference. AMIN held a middle ground, with strength in the urban-educated segment but limited grassroots reach. GAMA held the weakest position in all three models due to its inconsistent narrative, image, and mobilization strategy. This research confirms that the dominance of political communication was a key factor in PRAGIB's electoral success in the 2024 presidential election.

Abstract

Logo changes in public institutions are not only related to aesthetic aspects but also carry strategic meanings, cultural identity, and organizational representation. This study aims to analyze employee perceptions of the new logo of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) and examine the role of visual identity as a representation of organizational identity. The research employed a mixed-methods approach with data collection through questionnaires (N=104) and in-depth interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using reliability tests, descriptive statistics, normality tests, Pearson correlation, and ANOVA with the help of SPSS, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results indicated that the research instrument was reliable (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.934), employees' perceptions of the new logo were generally positive (X mean = 24.19; Y mean = 28.85), and there was a very strong positive correlation between visual identity perceptions and organizational identity representation (r = 0.750; p < 0.001). The ANOVA analysis also revealed significant differences across respondent groups (F = 7.838; p < 0.001). Qualitative findings emphasize that the logo change was driven by rebranding needs, visual continuity from the previous logo, and the demands of creative economic globalization. This study concludes that the new Kemenparekraf logo serves as a strategic visual instrument that not only builds organizational image but also strengthens internal organizational support.
