Abstract

In an increasingly competitive business environment, selecting effective marketing strategies is crucial for shaping customer purchase decisions. This study examines how discounts and bundling influence purchase decisions at Kedai Tekun, with brand image as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, surveys were distributed to one hundred customers. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via Smart-PLS was employed to evaluate variable relationships. Findings reveal that discounts positively and significantly affect both brand image and purchase decisions, while bundling demonstrates a positive significant impact on purchase decisions. Interestingly, brand image negatively and significantly influences purchase decisions. Mediation analysis confirms discounts have an indirect effect on purchase decisions through brand image. Results suggest discount strategies facilitate consumer purchase decisions, whereas bundling enhances purchase intention. However, brand image requires careful management, as favorable perceptions do not necessarily increase purchase decisions. Business owners should optimize marketing effectiveness by balancing promotional strategies with strengthening brand identity and core values.

Abstract

This study examines the motivational orientation of Islamic boarding school students toward English language learning and challenges the common assumption that religious identity may reduce acceptance of English as a global language. The research aims to describe students’ perceptions of the importance of English, sources of motivation, perceived learning difficulty, and preferred learning materials within the pesantren context. This study employed a quantitative descriptive survey design. Data were collected through a structured online questionnaire distributed to students who actively participated in English classes. Total sampling was applied to respondents who completed the questionnaire. The instrument consisted of closed-ended questions measuring perceived importance of English, motivational sources, level of difficulty, and instructional preferences. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques in the form of frequency and percentage distribution. The findings indicate that most students consider English an important subject despite perceiving it as difficult. Internal motivation emerged as the dominant source of learning drive, followed by teacher encouragement. Students showed greater interest in communicative daily conversation materials than in religious text-based materials. These results suggest that students’ motivation is future-oriented and internally driven rather than externally imposed. In conclusion, English learning motivation among Islamic boarding school students is characterized by positive perception, strong self-driven orientation, and resilience despite perceived difficulty. The findings confirm that religious educational settings do not inherently hinder students’ engagement with English as a global language.

The obtained data were tan analyzed descriptively to describe the training conditions and teachers’ profesional development needs. The results of this study indicate that English teachers’ participation in training is still relatively limited, even though the training is organized by various institutions, In addition, teachers alo demonstrated a high need for training on contemporary learning approaches, paticularly those related to the use of technology in English language learnig. The findings of this study indicate that teachers have a fairly good level of knowledge of several approaches, such as Project-Based learning, Student-Centered Approach, Task-Based Language teachng, although their understanding of technology-based approaches is still relatively low. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of providing more systematic, sustainable, and relevant teacher training programs that are aligned with learning needs.
