Abstract

The transformation of modern lifestyles and technological advancements has driven a significant increase in the online purchase of fresh products, such as fruits and vegetables. This study aims to analyze the influence of lifestyle, promotion, and service quality on consumers’ purchasing decisions on the GoFruit.id platform. The population in this research comprises consumers who have made purchases on GoFruit.id, although the total population size is unknown. A sample of 100 respondents was obtained using purposive sampling and determined using the Rao formula (2006). Data were collected through a survey using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The results indicate that lifestyle has a positive and significant influence on purchase decisions. Similarly, service quality also shows a positive and significant effect. However, promotion does not have a significant effect on consumers' purchasing decisions. These findings suggest that online fruit and vegetable retailers should prioritize improving service quality and aligning products with consumer lifestyles rather than relying heavily on promotional strategies. Keywords: lifestyle, promotion, service quality, purchase decision, online shopping

Abstract

Entrepreneurship training has been widely recognized as an effective strategy to enhance the economic empowerment of housewives, particularly in the context of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This study aims to examine the effect of entrepreneurship training on the economic independence of housewives, with MSME strategies as a mediating variable and socio-economic factors as a moderating variable. The research sample consisted of 133 housewives engaged in MSMEs and residing in Kembangan District. A quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was employed to analyze both direct and indirect relationships among the variables. The results indicate that entrepreneurship training does not have a direct effect on economic independence. However, it significantly influences MSME strategies, which subsequently contribute positively to economic independence. This confirms the role of MSME strategies as an important mediator linking entrepreneurship training to economic outcomes. In addition, socio-economic factors were found to have a direct effect on economic independence, but they did not function effectively as moderating variables. These findings underscore that entrepreneurship training alone is insufficient to economically empower housewives. Its effectiveness depends on the implementation of appropriate MSME strategies. The study highlights the importance of strengthening MSME development as a strategic pathway to enhance the economic independence of housewives, while recognizing socio-economic conditions as direct determinants rather than moderating influences.
