Abstract

This study employs thematic analysis methodology to examine service quality dimensions through systematic investigation of 1,284 verified guest reviews at Katamaran Hotel & Resort Lombok, Indonesia. The research utilizes Atlas.ti software for rigorous coding and theme development, implementing a five-phase analytical framework encompassing data collection, preparation, coding analysis, theme development, and reporting. The findings reveal that guest satisfaction is predominantly influenced by three key factors: physical facility quality (9.4/10), staff performance (9.3/10), and service delivery mechanisms (9.2/10). Analysis identified specific service gaps requiring strategic intervention, particularly in response time optimization and interdepartmental coordination. The study establishes that successful service enhancement necessitates integration of standardized protocols across operational touchpoints, complemented by comprehensive staff development initiatives. Theoretical contributions include advancing understanding of service quality dynamics through sophisticated thematic analysis methodologies, establishing novel frameworks for service gap identification, and demonstrating effectiveness of integrated approaches to service quality enhancement. Practical implications provide hospitality managers with actionable insights for maintaining balanced focus across physical facility maintenance, staff training programs, and service delivery protocols. Future research directions suggest exploring artificial intelligence integration in service monitoring systems, developing predictive models for guest needs, and conducting cross-cultural analysis of service quality expectations in diverse hospitality contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to measure how well the level of technology acceptance of Sipiongot Market MSME players is, and what variables affect it with the TAM Model approach. The research method used is quantitative by distributing questionnaires to 33 MSME owners. The results showed that X1, X2 and X3 against Y were 0.000 <0.05 and the calculated F value was 9.867> 2.71, so it can be concluded that there is an effect of perceived ease of use of social media (X1), perceived usefulness of social media (X2), and attitude towards using social media (X3) simultaneously affecting the intention to use social media (Y). However, X4 against Y is 0.187> 0.05 and t count 1.353 < t table 2.048, so it can be concluded that H4 is rejected, which means that there is no effect of actual social media use (X4) on intention to use social media (Y). Sipiongot Market MSMEs have a relatively good understanding of Social Media as a means of digital promotion. They report benefits such as: increasing operational efficiency, expanding market reach, facilitating communication, increasing sales, and supporting business development. In addition, MSME players consider the use of social media to be relatively easy because the interface is simple, easy to navigate and supports platform integration.

Abstract

This study aims to understand how Lifestyle, FOMO, Sharia Financial literacy, and Risk Perception influence Cryptocurrency Investment Decisions (Crypto Academy Case Study). Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 selected respondents using purposive sampling. Quantitative methods are used with Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis with the Smart PLS version 4 application for analysis. This study aims to analyze the influence of various factors on investment decisions, focusing on lifestyle, the FOMO phenomenon, Islamic financial literacy, and risk perception. The analysis results show that not all independent variables have a significant effect on investment decisions. Lifestyle (X1) has a p-value of 0.148 and a t-statistic of 1.446, which indicates that the effect is not significant with a small f-square value of 0.026. The FOMO phenomenon (X2) also shows a trend with a p-value of 0.069 and a t-statistic of 1.817, but remains insignificant, with an f-square value of 0.039. Islamic financial literacy (X3) shows a p-value of 0.798 and a t-statistic of 0.257, and a very low f-square value of 0.001, indicating no significant effect. In contrast, risk perception (X4) is shown to have a significant influence on investment decisions with a p-value of 0.012 and a t-statistic of 2.514, as well as a higher f-square value of 0.104. This finding confirms that risk perception is an important factor that can positively influence investment decisions. Overall, only risk perception shows a significant relationship with investment decisions, while other factors do not have a meaningful impact in this context.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between cultural dynamics and tourist preferences in hotel and resort settings through comprehensive review data analysis across multiple countries of origin. Using thematic analysis methodology implemented through Atlas.Ti software, the research examines patterns in accommodation preferences, service expectations, and satisfaction determinants. The findings reveal significant variations in guest preferences across different cultural backgrounds, with statistical analysis showing distinctive patterns in visitor demographics. Notably, couples constitute the highest proportion of visitors across multiple destinations, with exceptionally high concentrations in Hong Kong (92%), Malta (90%), and Argentina (62%). Cultural influences manifest through specific preferences in room configurations, dining experiences, and recreational offerings, where Asian tourists emphasize personalized service interactions and traditional elements. At the same time, European visitors prioritize authentic local experiences within luxury accommodation frameworks. The study identifies four key dimensions of managerial adaptation: cultural sensitivity, customization, staff training, and service modifications. These findings contribute to advancing understanding of cultural influences in hospitality contexts while providing practical guidelines for enhancing guest experiences in international hotel operations. The research concludes that effective cultural adaptation strategies enhance guest satisfaction and create sustainable competitive advantages in increasingly globalized hospitality markets.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze Generation Z's Consumption Behavior Patterns towards fashion products, especially the Uniqlo brand, as well as to understand the factors that influence their purchasing decisions in the context of modern lifestyles. The Consumption Pattern of Generation Z towards Uniqlo Fashion Products can be analyzed through the perspective of Islamic economics, which emphasizes ethics, justice, and sustainability. Therefore, Uniqlo needs to ensure fair and transparent production practices, and promote sustainability in their products to build consumer trust. By integrating Islamic economic values, Uniqlo can develop more effective and ethical marketing strategies, and better reach young consumers.The method used in this research is descriptive exploratory.Data was collected through surveys and in-depth interviews of 30 respondents, as well as content analysis of social media used by Generation Z.The results of the research Uniqlo Product Consumption Patterns are influenced by various interrelated factors, including cultural values, psychological motivations, personal, and social factors. A total of 73.33% of respondents acknowledged that cultural values influence their purchasing decisions, while 56.67% stated that daily needs and the desire to look good are the main motivations. Lifestyle and income also contribute greatly, with 70% of respondents agreeing that their lifestyle influences product choices. Discussions with friends or family before buying a product were influential for 46.67% of respondents. Product quality and brand love increase the confidence of younger consumers. Age and gender are also significant; the majority of Uniqlo shoppers are 20-23 years old (68%), with 56% of female respondents who tend to be more active in shopping and pay attention to product quality and design suggesting that Generation Z Consumption Behavior is heavily influenced by social media and the latest fashion trends. The implications of this research emphasize the importance for brands like Uniqlo to understand these consumer behavior dynamics in order to create more effective marketing strategies. By enhancing the brand experience and tailoring products to Gen Z preferences, companies can not only increase sales but also build long-term customer loyalty.
