Abstract

This study explores the influence of the UTAUT2 variables on Online Health Information Seeking Behavior for symptoms checking. This study used PLS-SEM analysis on 156 respondents who had searched for health information online for symptoms checking. The results show that Habit and Effort Expectancy most influence health information seeking behavior, followed by Performance Expectancy and Social Influence, with age as a significant moderator. Managerial implications include the importance of habit formation and ease of use in online health platforms to increase the usage. This study also makes a theoretical contribution by showing the relationship between UTAUT2 variables and health information seeking behavior, which has rarely been explored before. Further research with larger samples and more specific segment is recommended to enhance the generalizability of these findings.

Abstract

Despite being a key driver of the national economy, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) continue to face significant challenges in enhancing their performance. While prior research has examined various factors influencing MSMEs' performance, limited attention has been given to the role of strategic flexibility and competitive intensity. This study aims to investigate the impact of strategic flexibility on MSMEs' performance, with competitive intensity as a moderating factor. To achieve this, the study involved 80 MSMEs from Yogyakarta and Sleman in data collection. Subsequently, the data was examined by employing a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed relationships. The findings reveal that strategic flexibility plays a direct role in improving MSMEs' performance, regardless the level of competitive intensity. This insight offers valuable theoretical contributions while also providing practical managerial implications for MSME owners and managers, emphasizing the importance of cultivating strategic flexibility to sustain business growth in an increasingly dynamic market environment.

Abstract

The large number of unemployment and turnover rates in Gen Z is a problem for a company. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct a study to determine the factors that influence Gen Z's job interest in Malang. This study used accidental sampling which amounted to 115 people. This research uses a quantitative approach by utilizing multiple regression SPSS analysis tools. The results of this study indicate that simultaneously compensation and motivation have a significant effect on Gen Z's job interest. Partially, compensation has not a significant effect on Gen Z work interest. Motivation has a significant effect on Gen Z job interest. The company is advised to prioritize strategies that can enhance the motivation of Gen Z. Although compensation does not show a significant partial effect, the average compensation value remains fairly high. Therefore, the company must continue to maintain a fair and competitive compensation system so that Gen Z feels valued and recognized.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the influence of Financial Literacy, Ease of Use, and Trust on Transaction Decisions using QRIS at MSMEs in Balikpapan City. This research uses quantitative method with a sample of 400 MSMEs selected through Accidental sampling technique as part of Non-Probability Sampling. The results show that Financial Literacy, Ease of Use, and Trust simultaneously affect the Transaction Decision using QRIS. Partially, Financial Literacy and Ease of Use affect Transaction Decisions, indicating that increasing Financial Literacy and Ease of Use can encourage decisions to transact using QRIS. Conversely, Trust has no effect on Transaction Decisions using QRIS. This finding indicates that although Trust in the QRIS system does not affect transaction decisions, the Financial Literacy and Ease of Use factors still have an important role in MSME decisions to adopt QRIS as a payment method. This study provides valuable insights into the factors that need to be considered in increasing the adoption of QRIS among MSMEs in Balikpapan City. It is expected that further researchers add other relevant variables in order to get a deeper understanding of the adoption of QRIS by MSMEs.

Abstract

This research is important because several behavioral and psychological factors such as religiosity, Islamic business ethics, trust, satisfaction, and perception are frequently reported to influence the motivation of sharia  consumers.  This study aims to analyze the influence of religiosity, Islamic business ethics, trust, satisfaction and perception on the motivation of sharia consumers in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM PLS) method. This study was conducted with a quantitative approach and data collection techniques through Accidental Sampling, with a sample size of 110 respondents obtained through questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM PLS) method. The population in this study were sharia consumers in Indonesia.Based on the empirical findings, this study contributes theoretically by clarifying the roles and interactions of religiosity, Islamic business ethics, trust, satisfaction, and perception in shaping sharia consumer motivation. The results also present practical implications for sharia business actors and policy makers in designing strategies that strengthen and sustain sharia consumer motivation. The novelty of this study lies in its analytical shift from prior research that primarily emphasized sharia consumer purchasing behavior, toward a deeper examination of consumer motivation. Furthermore, this study extends the discussion of boycott-related motivations by integrating non-economic variables such as religiosity, Islamic business ethics, trust, satisfaction, and perception.

A total of 200 respondents participated in the study, consisting of individuals from Generation Z and Generation Y. Data were analysed using PLS-SEM. The results indicate that materialism and tourism brand attachment positively and significantly influence compulsive buying, while SNS advertisements and celebrity endorsements significantly affect materialism. Moreover, ideal self-congruence significantly influences tourism brand attachment. These findings highlight the roles of psychological and marketing factors in shaping impulsive travel behaviours and provide theoretical and managerial implications for tourism marketing strategies targeting young consumers.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of job expectations and self-efficacy on the intention to apply for jobs among Generation Z, with personal motivation as a mediating variable. The research is motivated by the high unemployment rate, which presents a significant challenge for young graduates, especially those without work experience. Furthermore, the gap between job expectations and actual conditions often hinders young graduates from entering the workforce. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to Generation Z individuals in Malang City. The population in this study includes Generation Z from five districts in Malang City: Blimbing, Kedungkandang, Klojen, Lowokwaru, and Sukun. Purposive sampling was used, and data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method with the SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results indicate that job expectations have a positive and significant effect on the intention to apply, both directly and indirectly through personal motivation. Meanwhile, self-efficacy does not directly influence the intention to apply but has a significant indirect effect through personal motivation. These findings highlight the crucial mediating role of personal motivation in the relationship between self-efficacy and job expectations on the intention to apply. Therefore, companies and career development practitioners are advised not only to focus on boosting self-confidence but also to strengthen internal motivation and address the job expectations of Generation Z to enhance their intention to apply for jobs.
