Abstract

Purpose — This paper aims to investigate how electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM), product quality, and brand image influence consumer purchasing decisions in the skincare industry.Method —  This study utilizes a quantitative research method involving 100 consumers of cosrx skincare products as respondents. The researchers adopted non-probability sampling techniques, specifically purposive sampling, to select participants for the study. Primary data was collected through questionnaires distributed on Twitter, where respondents provided direct responses using a Likert scale. To analyze the data and assess the positive and significant effects, the researchers employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) version 4.0.Result — The findings of the study indicate that both e-WOM and product quality have a positive and statistically significant influence on consumer purchasing decisions. Additionally, the research highlights the mediating role played by brand image, which serves as a connecting factor between e-WOM, product quality, and the ultimate purchasing decisions of consumers. This suggests that a favorable brand image enhances the impact of positive e-WOM and product quality on consumers' willingness to make a purchase.Contribution — This research adds to the existing body of knowledge by specifically focusing on the skincare industry and providing empirical evidence for the interplay between e-WOM, product quality, brand image, and their influence on consumer purchasing decisions, while also uncovering the mediating role of brand image.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the factors influencing the decision of UIN Sumatera Utara students to use the Sharia Online Trading System (SOTS) of Maybank Securities using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) approach. This model includes variables such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and an additional variable of Islamic financial literacy as a factor that may influence usage decisions. The research employs a quantitative approach with an associative research design. Primary data was collected through surveys distributed to UIN Sumatera Utara students who are clients of Maybank Securities. The research sample was determined using the Slovin formula, resulting in 89 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS software. The results indicate that performance expectancy, social influence, and Islamic financial literacy significantly affect the decision to use SOTS Maybank Securities. Conversely, effort expectancy and facilitating conditions do not have a significant influence. Simultaneously, the variables in the UTAUT model contribute 70.1% to the decision to use SOTS, while other factors beyond this research model influence the remaining 29.9%. These findings suggest that improving Islamic financial literacy and encouragement from the social environment can enhance students' interest in using digital-based Sharia investment services
