Abstract

Food delivery applications (FDAs) have become an essential part of modern student life, providing convenience and accessibility in daily consumption patterns. This study aims to examine the factors influencing user satisfaction and how they contribute to students’ dependence on FDAs. Five key variables were analyzed: time saving, price saving, information quality, security system, and safe packaging. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires from 244 active student users and analyzed using regression analysis. The results reveal that all five factors positively affect user satisfaction, with time saving (? = 0.313) showing the strongest influence, followed by price saving (? = 0.245), security system (? = 0.211), safe packaging (? = 0.151), and information quality (? = 0.074). These findings suggest that practical efficiency and economic benefits play a more significant role in shaping satisfaction than informational aspects. The study provides valuable implications for FDA providers and app developers to improve service efficiency, enhance user satisfaction, and foster long-term app engagement.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology and post-pandemic lifestyle changes have significantly transformed consumer purchasing behavior, accelerating the growth of online food delivery (OFD) platforms. This study aims to examine the factors influencing customer behavior toward FoodPanda, a leading OFD service in Malaysia, focusing on purchase decisions, usage frequency, and satisfaction. Guided by the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the study investigates the effects of perceived promotion, perceived convenience, perceived trust, and service quality on consumer behavior. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 200 respondents through an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The model explains 80.1% of the variance in customer behavior, with perceived convenience (? = 0.303) being the most influential factor, followed by perceived promotion (? = 0.276) and perceived trust (? = 0.248), while service quality (? = 0.126) is positive but weaker. The results underscore the importance of convenience, trust, and promotional strategies in enhancing customer engagement. This study provides insights into post-pandemic digital consumption patterns and offers practical implications for improving user experience and marketing effectiveness in the competitive OFD market.

Abstract

AirAsia, a Malaysian low-cost airline, has recently faced operational challenges such as customer complaints, IT disruptions, and flight delays that have weakened customer trust and loyalty, leading to a decline in its overall brand equity. This study aims to examine the key factors influencing AirAsia’s brand equity, focusing on four independent variables: brand awareness, brand association, brand loyalty, and brand image. A total of 151 respondents participated in an online survey distributed via Google Forms, and the collected data were analyzed using descriptive and regression analysis through SPSS. The findings reveal that brand awareness (? = 0.260, p 0.01) and brand image (? = 0.394, p 0.001) significantly and positively influence brand equity, while brand association (? = 0.146) and brand loyalty (? = 0.104) have positive but insignificant effects. The model explains 69.6% of the variance in brand equity (R² = 0.696). These results suggest that AirAsia should strengthen brand awareness through digital marketing and improve brand image by enhancing customer experience, reliability, and communication to foster stronger brand equity.

Abstract

Plastic pollution and rising sustainability awareness have shifted consumer expectations toward environmentally responsible packaging. This study examines how green packaging influences brand equity and customer loyalty, focusing on Quaker Oats Malaysia. It specifically investigates the roles of environmental awareness, customer perception, willingness to pay, and brand image, with brand equity serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative survey of 150 Malaysian consumers aged 18–44 was conducted and analyzed using multiple regression in SPSS. The results indicate that willingness to pay (? = 0.323, p 0.01), brand image (? = 0.745, p 0.001), and brand equity (? = 0.367, p 0.01) significantly affect customer loyalty and brand strength. Environmental awareness also positively affects brand equity (? = 0.161, p 0.05) but has no direct effect on loyalty. Mediation analysis confirms that brand equity fully mediates the effects of environmental awareness and brand image on loyalty, explaining 64.6% of the variance in loyalty and 73.4% in equity. These findings emphasize that sustainability-driven brand equity transforms ethical initiatives into customer trust and long-term loyalty, making green packaging both an environmental and strategic advantage for consumer brands.

Abstract

Customer satisfaction has become an important performance indicator for entertainment service providers such as cinemas, particularly in a competitive industry driven by experience and content quality. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing customer satisfaction toward Golden Screen Cinema (GSC) in Malaysia by examining five key determinants: ambience, service quality, accessibility, pricing, and movie genre. Using multiple regression analysis on data from 104 respondents, the findings reveal that ambience (? = 0.296, p 0.01) and movie genre (? = 0.313, p 0.001) have significant positive effects on customer satisfaction. In contrast, service quality (? = 0.172), accessibility (? = 0.045), and pricing (? = 0.138) do not significantly influence satisfaction. The model explains 68.1% of the variance in customer satisfaction (R² = 0.681), indicating strong explanatory power. The results suggest that the cinema experience and film selection are the main drivers of customer satisfaction, emphasizing the importance of enhancing environmental quality and curating appealing movie offerings to maintain customer satisfaction in the entertainment industry.

Abstract

GrabFood, one of the leading food delivery applications, has become an essential part of university students’ daily consumption behavior due to its convenience and accessibility. This study aims to examine the factors influencing students’ purchase intentions toward GrabFood by focusing on convenience, price, design, and food variety as independent variables, with trustworthiness serving as a mediating factor. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 102 university students in Malaysia through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using multiple regression with SPSS. The results reveal that food variety (? = 0.422, p 0.05) and price (? = 0.343, p 0.05) are the strongest positive determinants of purchase intention, followed by convenience (? = 0.214, p 0.05). In contrast, design (? = ?0.041) and trustworthiness (? = 0.080) do not exhibit significant direct effects. The model explains 69.3% of the variance in purchase intention (R² = 0.693), underscoring the predominance of functional and value-based factors over aesthetic considerations. These findings suggest that GrabFood should continue prioritizing fair and transparent pricing, expanding menu diversity, and maintaining service reliability to strengthen user trust, satisfaction, and long-term loyalty among university students.
