Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to determine the simultaneous and partial effects of word of mouth, taste, and product variety on purchasing decisions, with a sample size of 96 respondents. The data analysis technique used was multiple linear regression, which produced the equation Y = 3.371 + 0.217X1 + 0.239X2 + 0.197X3. The F-test results showed that Fcount (17.134) > Ftable (2.70), meaning that word of mouth, taste, and product variety simultaneously influence purchasing decisions. Partial t-test results indicate that word of mouth has a positive effect on purchasing decisions (tcount 2.748 > ttable 1.98580), taste has a positive effect (tcount 2.378 > ttable 1.98580), and product variety also has a positive effect (tcount 2.709 > ttable 1.98580). The R2 test results yielded an Adjusted R Square value of 0.338, indicating that the independent variables explain 33.8% of the purchasing decisions, while the remaining 66.2% is explained by other variables not included in this study.
