Abstract

Objective: This study is to evaluate the influence of lecturers' personal branding and community conversations on the attractiveness of the Entrepreneurship Study Program and the reputation of Pelita Bangsa University. Method: The sample surveyed was 150 students of the Pelita Bangsa University Entrepreneurship Study Program. With the help of the SmartPLS program, research data were collected from filling out questionnaires and analyzed quantitatively using the SEM PLS analysis technique. Results: This study shows that (1) Personal branding of lecturers has a significant effect on the attractiveness of study programs, (2) positive WOM increases the attractiveness of study programs, (3) Personal branding of lecturers does not have a significant direct effect on university reputation, (4) WOM has a significant effect on university reputation, (5) The attractiveness of study programs functions as a mediator that connects personal branding of lecturers and WOM with university reputation. Novelty: This study creates an integrative model that links lecturer personal branding, word of mouth (WOM), study program attractiveness, and university reputation. Unlike previous studies that addressed each of these factors separately, this study emphasizes that lecturer image and WOM do not directly improve university reputation. In addition, this study incorporates the concept of academic marketing into higher education, which was previously used more in business studies. This opens new eyes.

Abstract

Objective: In the context of rapid transformation in vocational and professional education, this study aims to examine the influence of Generational Cohort on Learning-Oriented Work Commitment, with Educational Context serving as a mediating variable. Although generational differences are often assumed to shape learning behavior, empirical evidence explaining the mechanism through which these differences affect learning commitment remains limited. Method: This study employed a quantitative research design using a survey method. The sample consisted of learners enrolled in vocational and professional education programs in Bandung, Indonesia. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the assistance of SmartPLS software. Results: The findings indicate that Generational Cohort has a significant effect on Educational Context, while Educational Context significantly influences affective, continuance, and normative learning commitment. Moreover, Educational Context fully mediates the relationship between Generational Cohort and all dimensions of learning-oriented work commitment, indicating that generational differences do not directly determine learning commitment but operate through contextual learning conditions. Novelty: This study offers a critical theoretical contribution by challenging the dominant assumption that generational differences directly determine learning commitment. By empirically demonstrating the full mediating role of Educational Context, this research reframes generational differences as contextual rather than deterministic factors. The findings advance educational theory by positioning Educational Context as the central mechanism through which generational characteristics are translated into learning-oriented work commitment in vocational and professional education.

Abstract

Background: Working abroad certainly has challenges, especially when the job involves high responsibilities, such as being a nurse. The combination of the job tasks and the foreign environment potentially led to more stress, particularly for migrant nurses, including Indonesian nurses who work in the Netherlands.Objective: This study aims to explore the types of stress experienced by nurses from Indonesia working in the Netherlands.Methods: This qualitative research employed interview techniques and a literature review. The data were analyzed using coding systems in Microsoft Excel. Seven questions were used to conduct online interviews in October 2023 with five Indonesian nurses employed in the Netherlands. Simultaneously, a literature review was carried out by searching for publications on Wiley Online, Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer, and Science Direct. Journal articles found were then selected according to predetermined criteria. Seven questions were used to conduct interviews with five Indonesian nurses who were employed in the Netherlands.Results: The results of the interviews and literature review demonstrated that the types of stress for Indonesian nurses working in the Netherlands are physiological and psychological stress (in terms of the nature of the stressor), negative stress (in terms of the effect of stress on the individual), and acute stress (in terms of the duration of exposure to the stressor).Conclusion: Indonesian migrant nurses in the Netherlands experience physiological and psychological stress with negative effects, highlighting the need for further research with a larger sample size for more credible and diverse results.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the influence of university image, electronic word of mouth (eWOM), and digital marketing on students' enrollment decisions in private higher education institutions (PHEIs) in West Java, Indonesia. Method: Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior, Information Processing Theory, and Social Influence Theory, this study employed a quantitative research design. Data were collected from 200 prospective students using purposive sampling and analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the relationships among the proposed constructs. Results: The findings reveal that university image (β = 0.312; p < 0.001), eWOM (β = 0.285; p < 0.001), and digital marketing (β = 0.247; p < 0.001) have positive and significant effects on students’ enrollment decisions. Among the predictors, university image emerged as the strongest determinant. The structural model explains 68.4% of the variance in enrollment decisions (R² = 0.684), indicating substantial predictive capability and confirming the importance of both institutional reputation and digital communication channels in influencing prospective students’ choices. Novelty: This study contributes to the higher education marketing literature by simultaneously integrating university image, eWOM, and digital marketing within a single SEM-PLS framework. Unlike previous studies that examined these factors separately, this research provides a comprehensive model contextualized for Generation Z prospective students in Indonesia, offering a more holistic understanding of enrollment decision-making in the digital era.
