Abstract

This study examines the influence of visual packaging and perceived emotional value on consumers’ purchase intention toward Garnier cosmetics in Batam City. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed using structured questionnaires distributed to 100 Garnier consumers selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination analysis, and hypothesis testing. The findings indicate that visual packaging and perceived emotional value are perceived positively by consumers and significantly affect purchase intention. Visual packaging has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention (β = 0.232; t = 2.685; p = 0.009), while perceived emotional value exerts a stronger positive and significant effect (β = 0.764; t = 8.345; p = 0.000). Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence purchase intention (F = 327.090; p = 0.000) and explain 86.8% of the variance in purchase intention (Adjusted R² = 0.868). These results demonstrate that attractive packaging and positive emotional experiences play important roles in strengthening consumer buying interest, with perceived emotional value emerging as the dominant determinant of purchase intention toward Garnier cosmetics in Batam City.

Abstract

Due to air pollution and also the trend of the global skincare industry which has been experiencing rapid growth in recent years, this has increased the demand for skincare products that focus on skin protection in Batam City. The evaluation of a customer's intention to repurchase a product can be determined by two key factors. One of the crucial factors for customers when deciding to repurchase is the quality of the product. Despite this, some users have reported issues with Scarlett products, such as skin irritation, breakouts, and ineffective results like brightening or moisturising. The main goal of the researcher is to examine how independent variables like brand equity, product quality, and customer satisfaction impact the likelihood of a customer repurchasing a product. The research approach utilised in this study is quantitative. There are two types of variables involved in this investigation - independent variables (brand equity, product quality, and customer satisfaction) and a dependent variable known as repurchase interest. The findings from this study indicate that brand equity, product quality, and customer satisfaction play a significant role in influencing the interest in repurchasing Scarlett skincare products in Batam City. Brand equity and product quality contribute to customer loyalty, while customer satisfaction promotes repeat purchases.

Abstract

The primary objective of this investigation is to examine how promotion, electronic word of mouth (e-WOM), and trust impact buying choices on Lazada e-commerce in Batam City. This quantitative study used a replication approach and statistical methods to analyse primary data obtained from 100 participants through online questionnaires, sampled using non-probability techniques based on specific criteria. Utilising the SPSS application, the data was analysed to determine the impact of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The results indicated that promotion, e-WOM, and trust individually have a favourable and significant effect on buying decisions. Furthermore, these three factors collectively have a notable impact on purchasing decisions on Lazada e-commerce. The outcomes suggest that successful promotional strategies, positive feedback from consumers, and consumer trust are critical factors influencing purchasing decisions on e-commerce platforms. Based on these results, researchers suggest that Lazada increase the frequency of promotional campaigns such as Harbolnas or flash sales, provide incentives for consumers to leave product reviews, and strengthen consumer trust through guarantees of product authenticity and transparency of payment security systems. This strategy is expected to strengthen consumer trust and increase purchasing decisions on the Lazada platform.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis data karyawan IT dalam rangka mendukung pengambilan keputusan terkait perpanjangan kontrak kerja. Dataset yang digunakan mencakup data karyawan IT selama periode enam tahun dengan 19 atribut utama, termasuk latar belakang pendidikan, jabatan, durasi kontrak, dan status kepegawaian. Metode penelitian dilakukan melalui tahapan analisis data intelligence yang meliputi proses filterisasi, pembersihan data, serta analisis deskriptif dan korelasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas karyawan IT memiliki latar belakang pendidikan sarjana (S1), yang mencerminkan standar rekrutmen yang relatif tinggi. Distribusi durasi kontrak didominasi oleh rentang 7–12 bulan, dengan tingkat keberhasilan probation yang dapat diidentifikasi melalui perbandingan status lulus dan diperpanjang terhadap tidak lulus. Korelasi positif yang kuat (0,65) antara kesesuaian pendidikan IT dan durasi kontrak mengindikasikan bahwa latar belakang pendidikan berpengaruh terhadap retensi karyawan. Dari sisi jabatan, peran senior seperti Project Manager memiliki tingkat retensi tertinggi, sementara peran developer menunjukkan durasi kontrak yang konsisten. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa sekitar 60% resign terjadi dalam enam bulan pertama masa kerja, sehingga bulan ke-3 dan ke-6 diidentifikasi sebagai waktu optimal untuk intervensi retensi.
