Abstract

This study examines the associations of price, location, and social media marketing with students’ decision to choose private universities with “Very Good” accreditation in Bandung City. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted using a structured four-point Likert questionnaire and purposive sampling. The analytical sample comprised 132 students from four universities: Universitas Islam Nusantara (30), Universitas Bale Bandung (31), Universitas Informatika dan Bisnis Indonesia (37), and Universitas Langlangbuana (34). The final regression model included 19 retained questionnaire items across the four constructs Price (B = 0.314, β = 0.389, p < 0.001), Location (B = 0.260, β = 0.291, p < 0.001), and Social Media Marketing (B = 0.145, β = 0.161, p = 0.049) were positively associated with the decision-to-choose construct. The regression model was significant, F(3, 128) = 34.398, p < 0.001, with R² = 0.446 and adjusted R² = 0.433. The three predictors explained 44.6% of the observed variance (R² = 0.446; adjusted R² = 0.433), with a large overall model effect size (f² = 0.806). Because the study uses cross-sectional data and purposive sampling, the findings are interpreted as associations rather than causal effects. The study contributes empirical evidence by integrating financial, accessibility, and digital-communication dimensions within a single model of university-choice evaluation in the studied institutional context.

Abstract

The advancement of the information age, increasing public awareness, and increasingly fierce competition among healthcare facilities have changed the public's assessment of hospitals. Excellent service is a key factor in increasing patient and family trust and satisfaction with hospitals. With increasing public expectations and intense competition among healthcare facilities, hospitals are required to excel not only in medical services but also in the quality of non-medical services. This study aims to assess and formulate the development of a service excellence-based service system at Pantura M.A. Sentot Patrol Regional Hospital, Indramayu Regency. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method through the distribution of questionnaires to more than 200 respondents consisting of patients and their families. Data analysis showed that communication, staff empathy, speed of service, and facility comfort significantly influence patient satisfaction levels. Based on these findings, this study recommends strengthening excellent service training, developing patient-oriented standard operating procedures (SOPs), and implementing continuous service evaluations. The implementation of these strategies is expected to increase patient satisfaction and loyalty while strengthening the hospital's positive image. The research results are expected to form the basis for recommendations in strengthening excellent service training, formulating SOPs that are oriented towards patient needs, and ongoing evaluation to increase patient satisfaction and loyalty and strengthen the positive image of the hospital.
