Abstract

The digital transformation has significantly shifted consumer behavior, with electronic word of mouth (eWOM), particularly in the form of short videos (vWOM), becoming a primary source of information influencing new product adoption decisions. This study aims to examine the influence of eWOM on the intention to adopt new products, with customer innovativeness as a mediating variable, in the context of the adventure tourism destination Cakadiditrip in Ambon City. Using a quantitative approach and Structural Equation Modeling (SmartPLS 4.0), the study involved 97 respondents who had been exposed to Cakadiditrip’s video content on social media. The results show that eWOM significantly influences both the intention to adopt new products and customer innovativeness, and that customer innovativeness mediates the relationship between eWOM and adoption intention. These findings highlight the strategic importance of digital content marketing that aligns with the innovative traits of target audiences. Practical implications suggest that businesses, especially in emerging tourism sectors, should optimize vWOM as a persuasive communication tool to accelerate market innovation adoption.

Abstract

This study empirically aims to examine the influence of customer satisfaction and price on purchasing decisions at Aloha Café in Ambon City. A quantitative approach was employed, with the research population consisting of consumers who had previously made purchases at Aloha Café. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in a total of 110 respondents. The collected data were analyzed through multiple linear regression, classical assumption tests, hypothesis testing, and the coefficient of determination (R²), with the assistance of SPSS version 26 software. The findings indicate that, partially, both customer satisfaction and price exert a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions at Aloha Café in Ambon City

Abstract

The transition to a Circular Economy (CE) represents a critical pathway for sustainable development, yet the participation of women in CE enterprises remains constrained by systemic gendered barriers, particularly in access to specialized green finance. This study investigates how gendered access to green capital influences women’s engagement, decision-making, and scaling capacity in CE initiatives across Indonesia. Using survey data from 400 respondents and applying Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the analysis examines the direct effects of institutional fairness and financial capability on women’s participation, as well as the mediating role of credit constraints. Findings reveal that equitable institutional frameworks and enhanced financial capabilities significantly increase women’s participation in CE enterprises, while limited access to green capital remains a critical barrier. The results underscore the importance of integrating gender-sensitive policies within climate finance mechanisms to ensure an inclusive and effective CE transition. This research contributes to the intersectional literature on gender, finance, and sustainability, offering actionable insights for policymakers, development practitioners, and financial institutions aiming to foster equitable green economic growth.

Abstract

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face acute vulnerabilities in marine-dependent livelihoods due to declining fish stocks, environmental degradation, and limited economic diversification. While Digital Marine Technologies (DMTs) have been proposed as tools to enhance productivity and sustainability, the integrated mechanisms linking DMT adoption to livelihood outcomes remain under-explored, particularly the role of institutional support in moderating these effects. Addressing this gap, the present study examines how DMTs contribute to small-island livelihood resilience through economic and environmental pathways. Employing a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 750 respondents comprising small-scale fishers and cooperative managers across representative SIDS communities. The study tested complex relationships using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), allowing for simultaneous assessment of direct, mediated, and moderated effects within the proposed conceptual framework. The results indicate that DMT adoption exerts a significant positive direct effect on small-island livelihoods. Further, Productivity and Sustainable Practices were confirmed as significant mediators, demonstrating that technological benefits materialize through both enhanced economic performance and improved resource stewardship. Importantly, the positive impact of DMTs on livelihoods is strengthened under conditions of high Institutional Support, highlighting the conditional nature of technology effectiveness in these contexts. The study contributes theoretically by validating an integrated framework in which technological adoption, livelihood gains, and environmental sustainability are mutually reinforced and contingent on governance quality. Practically, the findings underscore that policy interventions in SIDS must go beyond technology provision, prioritizing institutional development, infrastructure investment, and capacity building to ensure equitable and sustainable livelihood improvements.

Abstract

Penelitian ini berawal dari adanya keluhan pengunjung dan kelemahan Café Baileo dibandingkan pesaingnya Garagge Caffe, terutama terkait ketidakstabilan penjualan, keterbatasan ketersediaan menu, serta konsistensi pelayanan baik pada lini frontstage maupun backstage. Kondisi tersebut menimbulkan persoalan terhadap kepuasan konsumen dan menjadi dasar penting untuk meneliti sejauh mana strategi pasar, pemanfaatan teknologi, dan perancangan alur layanan (service blueprint) mampu memperbaiki kualitas pelayanan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan menguji pengaruh orientasi pasar, orientasi teknologi, dan service blueprint terhadap kepuasan konsumen pada UMKM kuliner Café Baileo. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain explanatory research. Data diperoleh dari 80 responden melalui kuesioner, kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan SmartPLS 3. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orientasi pasar dan orientasi teknologi berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap service blueprint, sedangkan service blueprint berpengaruh kuat terhadap kepuasan konsumen. Selain itu, service blueprint terbukti memediasi hubungan antara orientasi pasar dan orientasi teknologi terhadap kepuasan konsumen. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa peningkatan sensitivitas pasar, penguatan adopsi teknologi digital, serta perancangan service blueprint yang konsisten merupakan strategi penting untuk meningkatkan pengalaman dan kepuasan konsumen. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi empiris dan rekomendasi praktis bagi Café Baileo maupun UMKM kuliner sejenis untuk memperkuat kualitas layanan dan daya saing yang berkelanjutan

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of perceived risk, user experience, perceived security, platform credibility, and accessibility on the intention to use digital job portals among users with disabilities. The study adopts a quantitative research approach using a survey method involving 200 respondents with disabilities who have experience using digital job portal platforms such as LinkedIn, JobStreet, and Glints. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS software. The findings reveal that perceived risk has a significant negative effect on intention to use, while user experience, perceived security, platform credibility, and accessibility have significant positive effects on intention to use digital job portals. Among all variables, perceived risk emerged as the strongest predictor influencing users’ behavioral intention. The results indicate that accessible, secure, trustworthy, and user-friendly job portal platforms are more likely to encourage digital job portal adoption among users with disabilities. This study contributes to the literature on consumer behavior and digital inclusion by extending technology adoption perspectives into the context of disability-inclusive digital employment platforms.
