The operational data used by this researcher uses time series data. This research uses a method using the Eviews 12 computer program (software) with the Vector Auto regressive (VAR) model. The results of this study indicate that Inflation has a significant effect on ISSI. Interest rates have no effect on the ISSI. Exchange Rate has no effect on ISSI. The implications of this study reveal that Inflation has a relationship that can affect the growth rate of the ISSI. In addition, the growth rate of the ISSI can be suppressed if inflation can be controlled and exchange rates to interest rates can stabilize the rate of inflation that can affect the ISSI.

Abstract

Purpose — This paper aims to investigate how electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM), product quality, and brand image influence consumer purchasing decisions in the skincare industry.Method —  This study utilizes a quantitative research method involving 100 consumers of cosrx skincare products as respondents. The researchers adopted non-probability sampling techniques, specifically purposive sampling, to select participants for the study. Primary data was collected through questionnaires distributed on Twitter, where respondents provided direct responses using a Likert scale. To analyze the data and assess the positive and significant effects, the researchers employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) version 4.0.Result — The findings of the study indicate that both e-WOM and product quality have a positive and statistically significant influence on consumer purchasing decisions. Additionally, the research highlights the mediating role played by brand image, which serves as a connecting factor between e-WOM, product quality, and the ultimate purchasing decisions of consumers. This suggests that a favorable brand image enhances the impact of positive e-WOM and product quality on consumers' willingness to make a purchase.Contribution — This research adds to the existing body of knowledge by specifically focusing on the skincare industry and providing empirical evidence for the interplay between e-WOM, product quality, brand image, and their influence on consumer purchasing decisions, while also uncovering the mediating role of brand image.
