Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of product quality and brand image on purchasing decisions for Glad2Glow products on the Shopee e-commerce platform. The study employed a quantitative approach involving 100 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. The respondents met the following criteria: consumers aged 15–44 years, had purchased Glad2Glow products through Shopee at least once, and owned a Shopee account through which they independently made purchases, enabling them to evaluate the product quality and brand image. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS Statistics 27. The results indicate that, partially, product quality has a positive but insignificant effect on purchasing decisions (t = 0.844; p = 0.401), whereas brand image has a positive and significant effect (t = 5.065; p < 0.001). Simultaneously, product quality and brand image have a significant effect on purchasing decisions (F = 67.123; p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.581 indicates that product quality and brand image explain 58.1% of the variance in purchasing decisions, while the remaining 41.9% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. This study is limited by its relatively small sample size and its focus solely on consumers who have purchased and used Glad2Glow products through the Shopee platform.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effects of price, brand image, and social media influencers on OMG lipstick purchase decisions among female students at Universitas KH. A. Wahab Hasbullah. This quantitative study involved 100 respondents selected using purposive sampling, with data collected through a five-point Likert questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 16 through validity, reliability, classical assumption, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination analyses. The results show that price does not significantly affect purchase decisions (t = 0.708; Sig. = 0.481), while brand image (t = 4.569; Sig. = 0.000) and social media influencers (t = 4.962; Sig. = 0.000) have positive and significant effects. Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect purchase decisions (F = 42.990; Sig. = 0.000), with the model explaining 57.3% of the variance in purchase decisions. The novelty of this study lies in examining these three factors simultaneously among female students of Universitas KH. A. Wahab Hasbullah using OMG lipstick as the research object, while empirically identifying brand image and social media influencers as more influential than price in this research context.

Abstract

Economic growth is a key indicator of regional development success, influenced by various macroeconomic factors, including inflation and interest rates. This study aims to analyze the impact of inflation and interest rates on the economic growth of East Java Province during the 2011–2024 period. A quantitative approach was employed using secondary data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) and Bank Indonesia (BI). The analysis utilized classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The results indicate that inflation has a positive but insignificant effect (coefficient: 0.196; significance: 0.173), whereas interest rates have a positive and significant effect (coefficient: 0.294; significance: 0.044). Simultaneously, both variables exert a significant influence, with a significance value of 0.015 and an R-squared value of 0.537. The findings suggest that interest rates play a more substantial role than inflation in influencing economic growth in East Java.
