Abstract

This study explores the role of consumer engagement on social media in driving business growth, focusing on emotional and social interactions as key contributors to performance. Engagement activities such as liking, commenting, and sharing branded content were shown to significantly enhance sales, strengthen customer loyalty, and improve brand visibility. Using a mixed-method design combining online surveys and semi-structured interviews with businesses, the research found that active interaction with brand content fosters stronger purchase intentions and long-term loyalty. The findings further emphasize the role of social influence, noting that recommendations and endorsements from friends, peers, and influencers increase the impact of engagement on consumer decisions. Companies that demonstrate transparency and responsiveness in digital communication are more likely to build trust, which acts as a vital mediator linking engagement behaviors to business growth. This suggests that trust is not merely a secondary outcome but a central mechanism in the engagement–performance relationship.From a managerial standpoint, the study highlights the importance of producing relatable and engaging content tailored to target audiences, utilizing the reach of social networks and influencers, and practicing authentic, transparent communication. These strategies enable firms to build stronger consumer relationships while achieving sustainable growth. For future studies, the research calls for deeper exploration of distinct engagement types, such as cognitive versus emotional responses, across different social media platforms. It also suggests examining how emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and virtual reality, may shape evolving patterns of consumer engagement and their impact on business performance.

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various aspects of human resource management, including employee performance evaluation. While existing studies have extensively explored the potential of AI in improving efficiency and objectivity, they often overlook the nuanced employee experiences and organizational dynamics that influence its successful implementation. This research bridges this gap by examining the perceptions and experiences of PT Pos Indonesia employees regarding the use of an AI-based performance evaluation system. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, data was collected through in-depth interviews with employees who have used the system for at least six months. The findings reveal that AI contributes significantly to enhancing efficiency and reducing subjectivity in evaluations. However, challenges such as algorithm bias, the relevance of performance metrics, and system transparency remain prevalent. Importantly, this study identifies critical factors influencing acceptance, including employee understanding, trust, and perceptions of fairness in the evaluation process. Unlike previous research, this study emphasizes the interplay between technological and human factors, highlighting the irreplaceable role of human interaction in providing qualitative context. This research extends the existing literature by offering a deeper understanding of employee-centered factors and organizational practices that facilitate the integration of AI in performance evaluation. Practically, it provides actionable insights for organizations aiming to implement AI-based systems effectively, ethically, and equitably.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of word of mouth (WOM), price, and promotion on students' decisions in choosing a college through student interest at STIE MBI Depok. The method used in this study is a descriptive verification method with a quantitative approach. The sample in this study was 125 students from the 2024/2025 academic year. The data analysis technique used the SEM-PLS method with the help of the computer application program Smart-PLS Version 3.0. The research results show that word of mouth (WOM) has a significant influence on students' interest and decisions in choosing a university. Price does not directly influence students' decisions in choosing a university, but indirectly, price influences students' decisions in choosing a university through student interest. Promotion does not directly influence students' decisions in choosing a university, but indirectly, promotion influences students' decisions in choosing a university through student interest. Thus, student interest plays a crucial mediating role in bridging the influence of word of mouth (WOM), price, and promotion on prospective students' final decisions in choosing a university. This strategic role of interest indicates that increasing word of mouth (WOM), perceptions of competitive prices, and effective promotional strategies need to be directed at generating interest first to generate positive actual decisions regarding university selection.

Abstract

Kajian antropolinguistik terus berkembang seiring dengan meningkatnya kebutuhan pelestarian dan digitalisasi bahasa sebagai identitas budaya. Penelitian ini merupakan sebuah tinjauan literatur yang bertujuan untuk mengkaji perkembangan penelitian mengenai leksikon dalam perspektif antropolinguistik, khususnya pada integrasi pendekatan teknologi dalam upaya dokumentasi dan analisis bahasa. Metode penelitian menggunakan kajian pustaka sistematis dengan menelaah artikel ilmiah, buku, dan sumber akademik terkait antropolinguistik, leksikon, serta pemanfaatan teknologi dalam linguistik. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa leksikon bukan hanya berfungsi sebagai kumpulan kosakata, tetapi juga merepresentasikan nilai, pengetahuan, dan praktik budaya masyarakat. Selain itu, implementasi teknologi seperti Natural Language Processing (NLP), digital text mining, dan platform pelestarian bahasa berbasis digital mulai memperkuat upaya pemetaan dan analisis leksikon secara lebih efektif. Oleh karena itu, kolaborasi interdisipliner antara linguistik dan teknologi dapat menjadi alternatif solusi dalam melestarikan bahasa serta memperluas wawasan kajian antropolinguistik di era digital.
