Abstract

This study examines the influence of distribution and product quality on purchasing decisions of Prim-A mineral water at PT. Delada Cahaya Mas Agro, with brand awareness as a mediating variable. The increasing competition in the bottled water industry requires companies not only to strengthen distribution networks but also to maintain product quality in order to build consumer trust and brand recognition. This research employs a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares (PLS) with SmartPLS 4. A total of 100 respondents in Gunungsitoli were selected through accidental sampling. The findings indicate that distribution has a direct and significant positive effect on purchasing decisions (p-value < 0.05). Product quality, however, does not directly influence purchasing decisions (p-value > 0.05) but significantly affects them indirectly through brand awareness (p-value < 0.05), which acts as a full mediator. Brand awareness thus plays a critical role in linking product quality to consumer decision-making. The study suggests that companies should expand distribution reach while simultaneously implementing branding strategies to enhance awareness and consumer perception. The results provide theoretical implications for marketing management and practical recommendations for local distributors competing with established national brands such as Aqua and Le Minerale.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of brand image on consumer purchasing decisions at UD. Serlin, a trading company in Gido District, Nias Regency, Indonesia. The research was driven by the increasingly intense competition in the trading sector, which requires businesses to establish a strong brand image to maintain customer loyalty. A quantitative associative method was applied with a population of 175 consumers, from which a sample of 35 respondents (20%) was selected. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through validity and reliability tests, normality and heteroskedasticity tests, simple linear regression, t-test, and the coefficient of determination (R²) using SPSS 24. The findings revealed that all instruments were valid and reliable, the data were normally distributed, and no heteroskedasticity issues were detected, ensuring the regression model was feasible. The t-test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating that brand image significantly influences purchasing decisions. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.701 suggests that brand image explains 70.1% of purchasing decision variance, with the remaining 29.9% influenced by other factors. The study concludes that strengthening brand image is crucial for enhancing purchasing decisions. Companies should improve service quality and reinforce brand identity to sustain competitiveness.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of demand forecasting on raw material inventory control at CV Wery Group Gunungsitoli. The research was motivated by challenges in managing inventory due to fluctuating market demand, which often caused overstocking or stock shortages, leading to inefficiencies in operations. A quantitative research method was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 30 employees. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 27, including validity and reliability tests, normality and heteroscedasticity tests, simple linear regression, and a T-test. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between demand forecasting and raw material inventory control, indicated by a regression coefficient of 0.802 with a significance level of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.711, meaning that 71.1% of the variation in inventory control can be explained by demand forecasting. This implies that the more accurate the demand forecasting, the more effective the inventory control. The study suggests that CV Wery Group should improve forecasting capabilities as a strategic tool to enhance operational efficiency and support production continuity.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of communication and counseling guidance on bullying behavior at SMP Negeri 2 Gunungsitoli Barat. Bullying cases in this school are still quite high, with around 60% of students reporting having experienced or witnessed bullying. This study used quantitative and qualitative approaches, with a purposively selected sample of 30 students. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The results showed that good communication between teachers and students significantly reduced the incidence of bullying. Students with good communication only experienced 5 cases of bullying, while students with poor communication experienced 4 cases out of a total of 5 students. In addition, counseling guidance proved to be effective in dealing with students' emotional problems, although limited human resources were the main obstacle in its implementation. This study emphasizes the importance of effective communication and adequate counseling services as strategies to reduce bullying behavior in schools. The findings are expected to be the basis for better policy formulation in creating a safe and comfortable school environment for all students.
