Abstract

Despite the overall growth of the hospitality industry in Jakarta, the ‘APS’ Hotel has experienced declining performance that has even led to property sale considerations, highlighting the need for further investigation into consumer behavior. This study examines the influence of brand image, trust, price fairness, service quality, and perceived value on booking intention among guests of the ‘APS’ Hotel in Jakarta. A single cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing a judgmental sampling technique, with 228 respondents residing in Jakarta who had previously booked and stayed at the hotel. Data were collected in September 2025 through an online questionnaire distributed through TikTok and WhatsApp and analyzed using the PLS-SEM approach. The results indicate that all examined variables have a positive and statistically significant effect on consumers’ booking intentions toward the hotel.

Abstract

This study examines how perceived value strengthens repurchase intention among organic food consumers in Jakarta. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to individuals who had previously purchased organic food products. A total of 233 valid responses were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. The findings indicate that perceived price and perceived quality positively influence perceived value, which in turn significantly enhances repurchase intention. Both direct and indirect effects were confirmed, highlighting the mediating role of perceived value in consumer decision-making. The model demonstrates moderate explanatory power, suggesting that consumers are more inclined to repurchase organic food when they perceive price fairness and consistent product quality that justify the value received. These results provide managerial insights for organic food businesses in designing pricing strategies and maintaining quality standards to encourage repeat purchases and long-term customer retention.
