Shopee was the most visited e-commerce site in Southeast Asia during the third quarter of 2021. Shopee provides hundreds of millions of consumers with a simple, convenient, secure, rapid, and satisfying online shopping experience. It is dedicated to assisting brands and sellers in achieving online shopping success, and its offerings are functional to the markets in which it operates. This study aims to examine how Shopee as an e-commerce company affects the behavior of e-consumer. We tested hypotheses using SPSS. A total of 164 Shopee users participated in an online survey via a google form. We found that perceived ease of use and trust impacted customer satisfaction. Interestingly,  perceived price and convenience did not significantly influence customer satisfaction. This research provides new insights on e-consumers perceptions of Shopee and how this perception may promote customer satisfaction.

Abstract

Fast food is currently gaining popularity and becoming a global trend. Fast food is the most popular option among people because it is consumed quickly and cheaply. Consuming fast food is a result of a change in lifestyle from the past. It encourages workers or individuals to eat fast food rather than prepare their own meals. Therefore, despite having several of its closest rivals, such as Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC, etc., McDonald’s is still one of the largest and most recognizable fast-food chains in the world.  This paper aims to examine and analyze the factors that influence customers’ preference toward McDonald. An online survey questionnaire was used for data collection, this survey will involve 100 respondents who have consumed Mcdonald’s. The results of this study will help us to better grasp customers’ perceptions of Mcdonald’s.

Abstract

McDonald’s Corporation, established in 1940, is an American multinational fast-food chain. Over the years, McDonald’s has successfully expanded their business operation worldwide. The customer plays a vital role in the success of a business. The strategies and abilities to retain a customer will determine the survival of a business. Hence, this study aims to investigate the strategies employed by McDonald's to foster long-term customer relationships by examining various factors, including food quality, service quality, atmosphere, price, brand, and customer relationships. To explore, primary and secondary data collection was conducted through several sources, and a digital questionnaire was produced to collect data and information from 150 respondents. The results found that only atmosphere and brand had a significant positive impact on customer relationships. The study found that atmosphere has the strongest influence, followed by brand. This suggests that while food quality, service quality, and price are important, creating a pleasant atmosphere and fostering a strong brand are even more critical for McDonald's to build lasting customer relationships.

One of the top fast-food restaurants in the world, McDonald's has more than 36,000 locations across the globe. In Malaysia, there are more than 320 branches country wide and they employ over 15000 employees around the country, supplying career, and development opportunities. This study aims to focus on how satisfied the employees are with their job and their loyalty towards the fast-food joint. Moreover, this study will also explain how the job satisfaction of the employees has a crucial part in shaping the employees' loyalty towards their workplace. For this study, we have surveyed the employees of five different McDonald’s branches in Malaysia and Indonesia, namely McDonald’s Kulim, McDonald’s Alma, McDonald’s E-Gate, McDonald’s Lowokwaru, and McDonald’s Darmo. Online surveys help to collect a huge amount of data while interviews provide deep and clear opinions and feelings of the employees. McDonald’s is familiar to many people. When McDonald’s understands and learns more about the employees’ satisfaction and loyalty, it is able to provide better service to the customers. As a customer, we can gain higher satisfaction.
