Abstract

This study aims to examine the factors influencing user behavior toward the Ferizy application by applying an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) integrated with a digital management communication perspective. The research employed a quantitative survey method with 266 active users, and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that brand awareness and price value significantly and positively affect perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, and perceived quality. These perception constructs subsequently influence purchase decisions, which, in turn, drive continued use of the application. The results highlight that ease of use, enjoyment, and service quality are critical determinants of user decisions and of fostering long-term engagement with digital service platforms. Theoretically, this study contributes to TAM development by incorporating brand communication and price value as key external variables. In practice, the findings offer strategic insights for organizations to enhance digital communication, ensure transparent pricing, and improve service quality, thereby strengthening user satisfaction and sustained application usage.

Abstract

In the digital era, social media and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) play a crucial role in promoting beauty brands like Scarlett. This research examines the role of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in enhancing the marketing communication strategy of the Scarlett brand on Instagram and YouTube. Using qualitative research with a case study approach, this study explores how KOLs influence consumer perceptions and behaviors through content creation, storytelling, and engagement. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with KOLs who collaborate with Scarlett, and content analysis of posts shared across both platforms. The findings reveal that KOLs play a vital role in shaping brand image and generating high engagement rates, particularly when their personal values align with the brand’s messaging. On Instagram, visual appeal and personal narratives significantly capture audience attention, while on YouTube, informative and emotionally resonant videos strengthen consumer connections. The research further highlights the effectiveness of interactive features such as polls and Q&A sessions in increasing audience participation and trust. Although KOLs primarily build brand awareness rather than drive direct sales, their influence fosters curiosity and encourages product trials. The study concludes that KOLs are integral to modern marketing communication strategies, providing authenticity and credibility.

Abstract

Human resources are considered one of the most crucial assets for ensuring long-term sustainability and competitiveness of any organization or company. Employees who deliver high-quality performance make a significant impact on the company’s growth and success. Recognizing this importance, this study presents a conceptual model to understand the key factors influencing employee performance within organizational settings. The model examines the effects of communication, work environment, incentives, leadership style, and motivation on employee performance. This conceptual framework was developed based on a systematic literature review conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines to ensure transparency and methodological rigor. Relevant studies published between 2016 and 2024 were evaluated based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings suggest that effective communication, supportive work environments, properly designed incentive systems, and appropriate leadership styles work together to enhance employee motivation, ultimately improving performance outcomes. These results imply that organizations should prioritize communication training, develop conducive workplace conditions, implement fair and achievable incentive structures, and adopt leadership approaches that strengthen both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Collectively, these implications highlight the importance of integrating organizational, psychological, and managerial strategies to optimize employee performance and long-term organizational success.
