Abstract

Customer satisfaction is a critical determinant of competitiveness in the fast-food industry, even for global leaders like McDonald’s, which is widely recognized for efficiency, consistency, and strong branding. Despite its success, adapting to evolving customer expectations remains essential. This study aims to evaluate the factors influencing customer satisfaction at McDonald’s in Malaysia, focusing on food quality, service quality, pricing and value, product variety, and service method. A quantitative survey was conducted with 100 respondents using structured questionnaires. The findings indicate that customer satisfaction is most strongly influenced by service method (? = 0.449) and product variety (? = 0.279), while food quality, service quality, and pricing and value showed weaker effects and did not significantly predict satisfaction. The overall model explained 49% of the variance in customer satisfaction (R² = 0.492). These results highlight that customers place the greatest emphasis on convenience, efficiency, and diverse menu options. McDonald’s should therefore prioritize enhancing service delivery across dine-in, drive-thru, and self-service kiosks, while maintaining food quality and competitive pricing as baseline expectations. Overall, this study provides practical insights for improving customer satisfaction and offers strategic implications for fast-food chains in highly competitive markets

Abstract

The rapid growth of social media has intensified the use of influencer marketing in the fast fashion industry, reshaping how consumers form purchase intentions. Despite its widespread application, empirical evidence on influencer effectiveness in the Malaysian fast fashion context remains limited. This study aims to examine the influence of key influencer attributes: trustworthiness, credibility, expertise, and familiarity, on consumer purchase intention, using Padini Holdings Berhad as a case study. A quantitative research design was employed, with data collected from 150 respondents through a structured questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to test the proposed relationships. The results indicate that the research model explains 74.8% of the variance in purchase intention (R² = 0.748). Familiarity of the influencer emerged as the strongest predictor (? = 0.414, p 0.01), followed by expertise (? = 0.258, p 0.01) and credibility (? = 0.218, p 0.05). In contrast, trustworthiness showed a positive but statistically insignificant effect. These findings suggest that emotional connection, perceived knowledge, and credibility play a more critical role than trustworthiness in driving purchase intention within the fast fashion sector. Practically, the study highlights the importance of selecting influencers who are familiar, knowledgeable, and relatable to enhance marketing effectiveness.
