Abstract

The rapid growth of ride-hailing services in Southeast Asia has intensified competition, making customer loyalty a critical concern for platforms such as GrabCar. This study examines the effects of service quality and price perception on customer loyalty and investigates the mediating role of customer satisfaction among GrabCar users. A quantitative approach was applied using survey data collected from 150 users in Malaysia, Indonesia, and India through an online questionnaire. The data were analyzed using multiple regression and regression-based mediation analysis. The results indicate that service quality (? = 0.385, p 0.001) and price perception (? = 0.447, p 0.001) significantly influence customer satisfaction, explaining 78.1% of its variance (R² = 0.781). Customer satisfaction has the strongest positive effect on customer loyalty (? = 0.581, p 0.001), while price perception also directly affects loyalty (? = 0.234, p 0.001). In contrast, service quality does not have a significant direct effect on customer loyalty. The findings confirm that customer satisfaction fully mediates the service quality–loyalty relationship and partially mediates the price perception–loyalty relationship, highlighting satisfaction as the key driver of loyalty in ride-hailing services.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of TikTok advertising on brand awareness and purchase intention within the Food and Beverage (FB) industry. With the rapid growth of short-form video content, TikTok has become an excellent platform where businesses can engage with their consumers and effectively promote their brands. Nonetheless, there is limited academic evidence on how TikTok advertising influences consumer behaviour in the FB context. This research adopted a quantitative research design in which data were gathered via an online survey from a sample of 150 active TikTok users who had been exposed to advertisements in the FB industry. Using multiple regression analysis, the data were analysed to test the relationships between TikTok advertising, brand awareness and purchase intention. The findings reveal that TikTok advertising has significantly enhanced both brand awareness and purchase intention, with brand awareness partially mediating this relationship. This study shows the potentiality of TikTok as a digital marketing tool in improving brand presence and driving consumer purchasing behaviour. Thus, the results have important implications for marketers in developing engaging and creative TikTok content strategies to increase consumer engagement and sales in the FB sector.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of product quality, service quality, and digital infrastructure quality on customer loyalty at Zus Coffee Malaysia. As competition intensifies in Malaysia’s coffee retail industry, customer retention has become increasingly challenging, especially with the rise of digital platforms and changing consumer expectations. The main objective of this research is to examine how these three dimensions of quality influence customer loyalty among Zus Coffee customers. A quantitative research method was employed through an online survey of 101 respondents across major Malaysian cities. Our findings present that product quality and service quality have a significant positive impact on customer loyalty, while digital infrastructure quality such as mobile app usability and digital payment efficiency also plays a key supporting role. Our study highlights the importance of integrating both physical and digital quality factors to enhance customer loyalty in the coffee industry. Additionally, it offers practical insights for managers seeking to enhance customer satisfaction through strategic improvements in product consistency, service quality and digital infrastructure engagement, aligning with consumers’ expectations for quality and convenience.

Abstract

The global shift toward sustainability has greatly influenced consumer behavior, particularly within Malaysia’s growing food and beverage (FB) sector. Yet, a persistent gap remains between consumers’ eco-friendly behavior and their actual purchasing decisions. This study investigates the determinants of eco-friendly purchase intention among Malaysian consumers in the FB industry, focusing on environmental concern, environmental knowledge, and perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE). A quantitative research design was employed using an online survey administered to 200 Malaysian consumers. The findings reveal that all three variables exert a significant positive influence on eco-friendly purchase intention, with environmental knowledge emerging as the strongest predictor. The findings provide valuable practical insights into the key determinants influencing Malaysian consumers’ purchase intention toward eco-friendly FB products. The result can assist FB industry in creating effective marketing strategies that promote sustainability while guiding consumers toward environmentally responsible purchasing decisions.

Abstract

This study examines the determinants of financial stability among university students by positioning budgeting practices as a mediating mechanism within the cognition–behavior–outcome framework. Specifically, it investigates the effects of financial literacy, financial attitudes, and social norms on budgeting practices and financial stability. A quantitative approach was employed using an online survey distributed to 205 university students from several higher education institutions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis. The results indicate that financial literacy (? = 0.444, p 0.001) and financial attitudes (? = 0.216, p 0.001) significantly influence budgeting practices, while budgeting practices strongly predict financial stability (? = 0.539, p 0.001). Although financial literacy and financial attitudes do not directly affect financial stability, social norms demonstrate a significant direct effect (? = 0.322, p 0.05). The model explains 34.8% of the variance in financial stability. Overall, the findings highlight budgeting practices as the key behavioral mechanism linking financial competence to improved financial stability, suggesting that universities should strengthen experiential financial education to enhance students’ financial resilience.

Abstract

As mobile payments become increasingly prevalent in Asia, university students widely use electronic wallets for daily transactions, raising concerns about their financial management behavior. This study examines the effect of financial literacy on spending behavior, saving habits, and budgeting and e-wallet usage among university students. Data were collected from 150 respondents through an online survey. The findings indicate that financial literacy is negatively and significantly associated with spending behavior (r = –0.170, p 0.05) and positively associated with saving habits (r = 0.192, p 0.05). However, the relationship between financial literacy and budgeting and e-wallet usage is positive but not statistically significant (r = 0.116, p 0.05). Regression results show that financial literacy significantly reduces spending behavior (? = –0.159, p = 0.050), while its influence on budgeting behavior and e-wallet feature utilization is not significant. The model explains 6.7 percent of the variance (R² = 0.067). These findings suggest that financial literacy plays a protective role in controlling spending, but additional factors influence digital financial behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate customer satisfaction toward digital banking services among young adults. As digital banking becomes an essential part of financial activities, understanding factors that influence user satisfaction is crucial. Four dimensions of reliability, security, responsiveness, and convenience are the areas of focus of this study to understand their effects on overall satisfaction. A quantitative research design is utilized by conducting an online survey to 150 young consumers aged between 18 and 30. The postulated results indicate that security and reliability have the highest positive influence on customer satisfaction, followed by responsiveness and convenience having considerable influence. It is expected that the findings of the study will provide pragmatic suggestions to banks and fintech companies to improve service quality, customer credibility, as well as long-term relationship with young adult consumers.
