Abstract

The Covid-19 has driven the entire planet to a dangerous tipping point, and no one is spared from this crisis, including our nation, Malaysia. Malaysia imposed the movement control order (MCO) on March 18, 2020, to blunt the exponential rise of Covid-19 cases and transition to the endemic phase of the Covid-19 pandemic on April 1, 2022. On account of that, this paper identifies customer satisfaction in the ways (social distancing, use of masks and hand sanitizers, contactless and cashless system, hygiene and cleanliness, and checking body temperature) McDonald’s adopted in Malaysia to surmount the outbreak of Covid-19. The researchers have collected primary data via Google Forms, with 150 participants partaking in this survey, and secondary data from different sources to conduct a deeper study on the research topic. Therein, this paper can enhance the understanding of how McDonald's performed post-pandemic. The researchers have used the IBM SPSS Statistic software to analyze the data collected. Overall, researchers find that most customers are satisfied with the measures taken by McDonald’s to combat Covid-19

Abstract

Examining the mediating role of financial behavior on the relationships between financial literacy, financial attitudes, business performance, and the sustainability of MSMEs in Jayapura City is the aim of this study. It is anticipated that the analysis will serve as a helpful guide for the 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 as a mediating variable between financial literacy and company performance, financial management behavior has a big impact on the sustainability of businesses. This indicates that MSME owners in Jayapura City are aware that taking financial literacy-related actions will assist the long-term viability of their company. Nevertheless, financial management behavior characteristics are unable to moderate the relationship between financial attitudes toward company sustainability among MSME actors in Jayapura City. It is anticipated that similar future studies can be conducted with a moderation or intervention approach and apply wider data, for example, in provincial-level areas, to create conclusions that are more applicable to the expansion of MSMEs in other locations.

Employee performance is a key factor in delivering superior customer experiences (? = 0.534, p 0.001).
