Abstract

Brand communities have become an important strategic platform for strengthening consumer–brand relationships and fostering long-term loyalty. However, empirical evidence explaining how experiential and social dynamics within brand communities translate into brand loyalty remains limited. This study investigates the effects of experience, individual interaction, and social relationships on brand loyalty, with community commitment as a mediating variable, among particular DSLR camera brand users in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed using survey data from 150 members of photography communities. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS 22. The findings reveal that individual interaction and social relationships significantly enhance community commitment, whereas experience does not. Furthermore, community commitment has a strong positive effect on brand loyalty and serves as a mediator in the relationships among experience, individual interaction, and social relationships. This study highlights the critical role of social interaction and relational bonding in brand communities as key drivers of consumer loyalty. The findings provide managerial insights for firms seeking to leverage brand communities as strategic tools for relationship marketing and customer retention.

Abstract

This case study examines an intervention implemented by a company in Japan’s energy infrastructure sector to nurture digital talent. This intervention involved a digital upskilling program integrated with a career pathing program. The digital upskilling program delineated three categories of digital talent, corresponding to those in the Digital Transformation Promotion Skill Standard, and provided core courses for all employees along with category-specific courses. The career pathing program introduced the statuses of Digital Player and Digital Specialist, which employees could earn if they met the required conditions. Feedback on the intervention was obtained post-intervention through a questionnaire conducted among employees (n = 500, effective response rate of 95%) and interviews with ten employees who had gained the Digital Player status. The questionnaire responses revealed a difference between general and managerial staff in the level of interest in digital transformation and their ability to envisage applying digital technology in practice. The responses also suggested that the integrated intervention inspired younger employees to take initiative and encouraged a transformation in corporate culture. The case study provides a best-practice model for designing digital upskilling and career pathing programs in large, traditional companies in Japan.

Abstract

Dharma Setia Kosgoro Bogor City Foundation (YDSK) is an educational foundation established in 1987 that oversees three educational units, namely SMP Kosgoro, SMA Kosgoro, and SMK Kosgoro. As a private educational institution, the foundation faces challenges related to the uneven performance of teachers across its three educational units. An analysis of the Teacher Performance Assessment (PKG) document for the 2020/2021 academic year revealed an average score of 91.07%, categorized as "Very Good." However, gaps were identified in the social and professional competency aspects, which remained in the "Good" category with a score of 75%. This condition requires a deeper examination of the factors influencing teacher performance, particularly work motivation and job satisfaction, in order to generate targeted policy recommendations for the foundation's management. This study aims to analyze and empirically examine the effect of Work Motivation (X1) and Job Satisfaction (X2) on Teacher Performance (Y) at Yayasan Dharma Setia Kosgoro Bogor City. This study employed a quantitative approach with a survey method using questionnaires, involving all teachers from the three educational units under the foundation as the study population. The collected data were processed using descriptive analysis techniques with SEM-PLS. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that Job Satisfaction is the primary determinant of Teacher Performance at Yayasan Dharma Setia Kosgoro Bogor City, while Work Motivation was not proven to have a statistically significant effect, although the direction of the relationship was positive. The foundation's management is advised to prioritize efforts to improve teacher job satisfaction through the implementation of a fair and competitive compensation system, the creation of a conducive work environment, the provision of recognition for teacher dedication and achievement, and the provision of continuous professional development opportunities. Future research is recommended to expand the scope of variables by incorporating other factors such as transformational leadership, organizational commitment, or organizational culture, in order to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the determinants of teacher performance in the context of private foundation education.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the food sector increasingly use digital channels to reach consumers, yet many still rely on general promotion strategies that are not supported by systematic customer data analysis. This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based digital marketing model for Tempe Chips MSME A.M.J by combining customer segmentation, promotional content optimization, transaction-flow support, and chatbot-assisted interaction in a web-based prototype. The study employed a Research and Development approach with prototyping stages consisting of problem identification, data requirement analysis, system design, prototype implementation, and limited functional validation. The prototype was designed to support product presentation, product detail exploration, shopping cart management, checkout, invoice generation, WhatsApp-based payment confirmation, and chatbot-based customer assistance. The result indicates that the proposed model can organize digital marketing activities into an integrated customer journey from product discovery to order confirmation. The main contribution of this study is a practical AI-oriented framework for MSME digital marketing that links customer data processing with web-based sales support. However, the current validation remains functional and descriptive; conversion-rate improvement still requires longitudinal testing using real campaign analytics, customer interaction logs, and comparative pre- and post-implementation measurements.
