Abstract

E-wallets are digital payment systems that allow users to make contactless transactions through smartphones or computers, offering convenience and efficiency, particularly for remote payments. Traditional payment methods, such as cash, checks, and card swipes, are perceived as more secure and reliable but may lack the flexibility of digital options. This study compares user experiences between e-wallets and traditional payment methods, focusing on perceived ease of use, convenience and usability, privacy and security, and satisfaction. A quantitative approach, utilizing an online survey of 100 respondents, is used to evaluate user preferences. The study aims to identify key factors influencing payment method choice, providing insights that could guide improvements in payment technologies and enhance user experiences for both consumers and businesses.

Abstract

The emergence of influencer marketing in developing countries has been facilitated by Generation Z's use of social media. This study's goal is to discover how influencer marketing will affect Gen Z consumers' purchasing intentions in Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and Nigeria. In this study, the data were examined utilizing descriptive, reliability, correlation, and regression analysis employing quantitative research and IBM SPSS Statistics 26. The data collection method was carried out online with a group of 150 individuals from the Gen Z demographic participating. The study highlights that perceived influencer credibility, product-influencer relevance, perceived expertise, and trustworthiness significantly impact Gen Z's purchasing intentions in Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and Nigeria. Authentic, credible influencers who align with a brand's image strengthen consumer trust and purchase intent. Marketers should prioritize collaborations with influencers known for genuine, relatable, and expert content, fostering deeper engagement and brand loyalty. While peers' reviews showed less impact, further research could explore Gen Z's evolving approach to social proof.

Abstract

E-hailing is a service that links passengers with drivers of private cars or taxis by enabling consumers to schedule transportation via a website or mobile app such as GrabCar. In cities and locations with limited access to public transit, e-hailing services have grown in popularity. GrabCar is an e-hailing service that charges a set fee for chauffeured transportation in private vehicles. With GrabCar, users can quickly arrange where they want to be picked up and dropped off, view the estimated cost, and even follow their ride's arrival in real time. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing customers’ behavioral intention to use e-hailing apps- GrabCar in Malaysia. An online survey form was prepared to collect data from 100 respondents. The results indicate that factors including perceived usefulness and price of the GrabCar application have significant influences on the consumer’s behavioral intention to use the e-hailing service, while perceived ease of use and safety also play a role in influencing the consumer’s behavioral intention to use the e-hailing service. This study provides valuable insights and guidance to service providers, which enhances customer satisfaction for future development.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of service quality, product quality, product freshness, and time savings on consumer behavioral intentions in online shopping, particularly in the post-COVID-19 era. With the rapid growth of e-commerce, understanding factors that influence consumer behavior is critical for businesses seeking to enhance customer loyalty. The primary objective is to identify which factors significantly affect online purchasing intentions. Using both primary and secondary data, a digital questionnaire was administered to 160 respondents. The collected data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis through IBM SPSS Statistics software to test four hypotheses. The results show that service quality (? = 0.472, p 0.001), product quality (? = 0.217, p = 0.001), and product freshness (? = 0.212, p = 0.002) are significant predictors of behavioral intention, while time savings (? = 0.086, p = 0.320) is not. These findings highlight the importance of focusing on quality and freshness in the online marketplace. Businesses should prioritize these factors to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty. The study concludes that while time savings are often valued in online shopping, it does not significantly drive consumer intentions, making service and product excellence more critical for success in the evolving digital economy.
