This research explores the role of gamification in enhancing consumer engagement on e-commerce platforms, with a focus on understanding how gamified elements influence consumer behavior, emotional connection, and long-term loyalty. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with active users of gamified e-commerce platforms. The findings reveal that gamification significantly increases user participation by tapping into intrinsic motivations such as achievement and competition, while personalized rewards and competitive features further enhance consumer engagement. Consumers also reported a strong emotional connection with platforms that incorporate gamification, which fosters greater loyalty. However, demographic factors, such as age and technological familiarity, were found to influence the effectiveness of gamification, with younger users showing greater responsiveness. The research suggests that e-commerce platforms should tailor gamified experiences based on consumer demographics and preferences to maximize engagement. Limitations of the study include a small sample size and the reliance on self-reported data, with recommendations for future research to explore the long-term effects of gamification on purchasing behavior and examine its integration with emerging technologies.

This research explores the impact of sustainable marketing strategies on corporate image and business profitability at The Body Shop Pekanbaru. Using a quantitative research design, this study used random sampling techniques to collect data from 250 consumers. The analysis used was structural equation modeling using SmartPLS to evaluate the relationship between variables. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between the implementation of sustainable marketing strategies and corporate image, which in turn affects business profitability. However, the results show that customer satisfaction does not have a significant direct impact on profitability when mediated through sustainable marketing strategies. These insights suggest that while improving a company's image through sustainability efforts is critical to financial success, customer satisfaction alone cannot guarantee profitability without strategic integration with sustainability initiatives. This study highlights the importance of ethical branding and responsible practices in the beauty industry, offering implications for brands looking to align themselves with modern consumer values.

This study explores the impact of influencer authenticity on brand perception and consumer trust, with consumer engagement as a mediating variable, specifically focusing on Wardah consumers in Padang. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from 100 respondents aged 20-30 years who use Wardah products, applying a simple random sampling technique. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS was used to analyze relationships among variables. The findings indicate that influencer authenticity has a significant and direct impact on both brand perception and consumer trust, with higher levels of authenticity enhancing consumer perceptions and trust in the brand. Although consumer engagement partially mediates the relationship between influencer authenticity and brand perception, it has a weaker mediating effect on consumer trust. This suggests that while consumer engagement reinforces brand perception, trust in the brand primarily stems from perceptions of influencer authenticity. The results underscore the importance of genuine influencer partnerships for brands like Wardah to foster strong, trust-based connections with their audience, especially in culturally specific markets. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how influencer marketing dynamics affect consumer attitudes, offering practical implications for brand positioning and trust-building strategies.

This study examines the role of inclusive graphic design in enhancing the acceptance and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies among children with disabilities. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 97 respondents within the Adisa business group, employing a structured questionnaire to measure graphic design quality, AI acceptance, and utilization. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to analyze the relationships between these variables. The findings reveal that graphic design significantly influences both the acceptance and utilization of AI technology, with user acceptance mediating this relationship. These results highlight the importance of user-centered and inclusive design in reducing barriers to AI adoption and ensuring equitable access for marginalized populations. By extending the Technology Acceptance Model to include inclusivity as a critical factor, this study contributes to the theoretical understanding of technology adoption while providing actionable insights for developers, businesses, and policymakers. The implications underscore the need for culturally sensitive and cost-effective design practices to foster widespread adoption and utilization of AI technologies. Future research is encouraged to explore the intersection of design, functionality, and socio-economic factors to further advance inclusive technological innovation.

This study investigates the determinants of earnings management in the Indonesian manufacturing sector, focusing on the influence of independent commissioners, profitability, institutional ownership, and firm size. Using a quantitative approach and panel data regression analysis, the research examines financial data from manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2015 and 2019. The findings reveal that independent commissioners and institutional ownership significantly reduce earnings management, highlighting their roles as key governance mechanisms. Profitability, on the other hand, positively correlates with earnings manipulation, reflecting managerial pressures to sustain performance expectations. Firm size shows no significant effect, suggesting a complex balance between public scrutiny and managerial discretion. The results support agency theory by demonstrating the importance of effective monitoring in reducing opportunistic behavior. This study contributes to the literature on corporate governance in emerging markets and offers practical implications for policymakers, corporate leaders, and institutional investors to enhance financial transparency and accountability. Future research is encouraged to explore moderating factors and conduct cross-country comparisons for a more comprehensive understanding of earnings management practices.

Thematic analysis of the data revealed that transparency, product quality, brand integrity, and consumer engagement are key factors enhancing brand loyalty in the context of green marketing. Findings contribute to the green marketing literature by identifying effective strategies for building long-term consumer loyalty. This research also underscores the potential of green marketing to align with sustainable consumer behaviors and support broader environmental policies. Future research should consider a quantitative approach or explore industry-specific green marketing dynamics.
