In the highly competitive business era, environmental performance and corporate reputation, particularly in achieving optimal financial performance, are important factors that influence a company's success.The study uses secondary data from the annual reports of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and employs path analysis to test the causal relationships between variables. The results show that environmental performance and corporate reputation have a positive influence on financial performance, both directly and through CSR as an intervening variable. These findings provide important implications for company management to pay more attention to environmental and social aspects in their business strategies to sustainably improve financial performance

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of Word of Mouth (WOM), Brand Image, and Physical Evidence on Consumer Satisfaction and Purchase Decisions for typical Madurese tuna fish paste products in Pamekasan. The research method used is a quantitative approach through surveys with multiple linear regression analysis. The research results show that WOM, Brand Image, and Physical Evidence significantly influence consumer satisfaction. Positive WOM has a strong influence in increasing consumer trust and expectations, while a Brand Image that highlights local culture increases the emotional value of the product. Meanwhile, physical evidence such as attractive and hygienic packaging plays an important role in forming perceptions of quality. Consumer satisfaction functions as a mediator that strengthens the relationship between independent variables and purchasing decisions. Satisfied consumers tend to make repeat purchases and provide positive recommendations to others. The implications of this research underscore the importance of marketing strategies that focus on managing WOM, strengthening brand image, and improving the quality of physical product elements to support loyalty and market growth.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing consumer purchasing decisions at the weekly MSME market at Pemuda Field, Kuta Cane, Southeast Aceh. The research focuses on four key variables: price, product quality, promotion, and location. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a survey method with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 purposively selected respondents. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationships between these variables and purchasing decisions. The results revealed that price and product quality significantly impact consumer purchasing decisions, with product quality emerging as the most dominant factor. In contrast, promotion and location did not exhibit significant effects. The findings suggest that consumers prioritize affordability and high-quality products over promotional activities or market accessibility. The study highlights the dual role of Pemuda Field as both a sports facility and a market hub, which enhances transaction opportunities by attracting visitors who initially come for recreation. Recommendations for MSME actors include improving product quality through better materials and packaging, adopting competitive pricing strategies, and leveraging the unique synergy between sports and market activities to attract more customers. These insights provide valuable guidance for MSMEs in designing effective marketing strategies to enhance customer satisfaction and business growth.

However, there is awareness and intention from the owner to improve financial management in the future. This study recommends the importance of financial literacy training, the use of digital recording applications, and ongoing assistance from the government or related institutions.
