Abstract

Shopee is one of the top-notch companies in the e-commerce field. It recorded 343 million visitors per month and its gross merchandise value was even aggregated to USD 19 billion in the second quarter of 2022. Shopee also expanded its business operations aggressively to new regions, namely Europe, Latin America, and South Korea. This study intends to examine the variables that influence customers’ online shopping behaviour in Shopee. A survey questionnaire is conducted to collect data from 150 Shopee’s users in Malaysia. The findings depicted that perceived trust and security, perceived service quality and perceived ease of use had influenced the customers’ online shopping behaviour towards Shopee in Malaysia. Perceived usefulness and perceived convenience did not greatly impact the customers’ online buying intention on Shopee in Malaysia. This study can provide Shopee with useful business insights about customers’ online shopping behaviour. It is recommended for Shopee Malaysia to prioritize the enhancement of three variables that exhibit a favorable correlation with customers' online shopping behavior, thereby ensuring business growth and expansion.

Abstract

Examining how financial conduct affects financial behavior, financial attitudes, company performance, and sustainability of MSMEs in Jayapura City is the aim of this study. It is anticipated that the analysis would serve as a helpful guide for next studies. This study is quantitative in nature and tests hypotheses using a descriptive methodology. The way that data is gathered is through distributing questionnaires. One tool for data analysis methods is WarpPLS analysis.The findings showed that business performance and financial literacy had a favorable and substantial influence on financial behavior. On the other hand, financial behavior is not significantly and favorably impacted by financial attitudes. Financial management practices and financial literacy have a big impact on a company's capacity to survive. Financial attitudes and business performance have little bearing on a company's capacity to survive. As a mediating variable between financial literacy and company performance, financial management behavior has a big impact on the sustainability of businesses. Regarding financial attitudes toward business sustainability, there is no discernible effect of financial management conduct as a mediating variable.

Abstract

One of the benchmarks in assessing the success of an investment activity is based on the acquisition of stock returns. During the pandemic, the hotel, restaurant and tourism industry sector was very significantly affected, various travel restriction policies to the closure of tours caused a drop in capital market activity in this sector. The author uses firm value as a mediation to examine various factors such as profitability, liquidity and leverage which can affect stock returns in the hotel, restaurant and tourism industry sector. Financial report publications are used as data sources and research objects which are then analyzed and studied using Partial Least Square (PLS) as a test tool.Testing and analysis obtained the fact that the ratio of the ability to fulfill current liabilities (liquidity), the ratio of debt (leverage) and the ratio of profits (profitability), significantly affect the formation of firm value and firm value can directly affect stock returns but as a whole the variables cannot provide significant direct effect on stock returns without being mediated by firm value.

Abstract

Recent sustainability concerns have extended their influence into the realm of accounting. Previously, annual financial reporting held primary importance for companies, but now, in response to these concerns, a settlement report has been introduced, reflecting the emergence of environmental accounting. Researchers employed the Egek Culture from Moi Tribe phenomenological philosophy study method to uncover how green accounting is rooted in cultural values. Data analysis involved interviews with seasoned experts in environmental accounting to gather insights from informants. The selection of divided methods reveals the values of indigenous Papua culture in the concept of environmental accounting. The study found that green accounting has not received serious optimal development in Indonesia. To apply green accounting effectively, there is a need to align the proposed concept with existing international guidelines. The Egek philosophy offers insights into resolving key issues in green accounting since it strives to fulfill the social and environmental responsibilities of an entity to the utmost extent possible. Applying green accounting via the phenomenological approach of Egek philosophy enhances understanding comprehensively.

Abstract

In today's competitive marketplace, cultivating and maintaining consumer brand loyalty is a paramount objective for businesses. While traditional marketing research has explored various factors influencing brand loyalty, the role of emotions, often overlooked in the past, has gained prominence in recent years. This research delves into the intricate relationship between emotions and consumer brand loyalty, employing a cutting-edge neuromarketing approach to uncover the subconscious processes at play. By utilizing neuroimaging techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), this study seeks to unveil the neural mechanisms that underlie emotional responses to brands. Through carefully designed experiments and data analysis, the research aims to identify specific emotional triggers that elicit brand loyalty and evaluate the neurological basis of these responses. Furthermore, this investigation will explore how various emotional states, including joy, trust, and nostalgia, influence different aspects of brand loyalty, such as repeat purchases, positive word-of-mouth, and resistance to competitive alternatives. By pinpointing the neurological signatures of emotional brand attachment, marketers can develop more precise and effective strategies to foster and strengthen consumer brand loyalty. The findings of this research hold significant implications for marketing practitioners.
