Abstract

This study examines the influence of Electronic Word of Mouth (E-WOM), Brand Image, and Brand Trust on purchasing decisions for Skintific skincare products in Batam City. The research employed a quantitative approach using questionnaire data collected from 150 respondents who had purchased and used Skintific products. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26, including validity, reliability, classical assumption, multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination, and hypothesis testing. The findings revealed that E-WOM, Brand Image, and Brand Trust each had a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. Simultaneously, these variables also significantly influenced purchasing decisions, with the coefficient of determination indicating that 85.6% of purchasing decision variation could be explained by the three independent variables. The results demonstrate that positive digital reviews, strong brand perception, and consumer trust play essential roles in encouraging consumer purchasing behavior toward Skintific skincare products. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining product quality, strengthening brand reputation, and optimizing digital consumer engagement to improve purchasing decisions in the competitive skincare industry.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of work motivation, loyalty, and employee quality on employee performance at PT Ho Wah Genting Batam. The research applied a quantitative descriptive and causal approach using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to 152 employees selected from a population of 250 production department employees based on the Krejcie and Morgan sampling table. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26 through descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination, t-test, and F-test. The findings demonstrated that work motivation, loyalty, and employee quality positively and significantly affected employee performance both partially and simultaneously. The t-test results showed that work motivation had a significant effect on employee performance with a significance value of 0.029, loyalty with 0.005, and employee quality with 0.022, all below the 0.05 threshold. Simultaneously, the variables significantly influenced employee performance, as reflected by an F-count of 103.603 and a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination indicated that 34.6% of employee performance variation could be explained by work motivation, loyalty, and employee quality, while the remaining percentage was influenced by other variables outside the research model. These findings confirm that improving employee motivation, strengthening organizational loyalty, and enhancing employee quality are essential strategies for optimizing employee performance within manufacturing companies.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of security and ease of use on purchasing decisions among Shopee users in Batam City. The research employed a causal associative quantitative approach using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27, including validity, reliability, classical assumption, multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination, t-test, and F-test analyses. The findings indicate that security has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions, as reflected by a t-value of 4.487 and a significance level of 0.001. Ease of use also demonstrates a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions, with a t-value of 5.139 and a significance value of 0.001. Simultaneously, security and ease of use significantly affect purchasing decisions, supported by an F-value of 85.968 and a significance level of 0.001. The coefficient of determination shows that both variables explain 63.9% of the variation in purchasing decisions, while the remaining 36.1% is influenced by other factors outside the study. The results suggest that stronger application security and higher usability increase consumer confidence and convenience, thereby encouraging online purchasing decisions through the Shopee platform in Batam City.
