The dimensions that have a significant influence are context, communication, connection (variable promotion via social media), platform assistance, concern for others, social benefits and helping the company (variable promotion via e-WOM Communication). Meanwhile, the variables that do not have a significant effect are collaboration (variable promotion via social media) and positive self-enhancement (variable promotion via e-commerce communication) [3] Simultaneously, all dimensions have a significant influence on student decision making (296,384>19,492).
