Abstract

The present study provides a bibliometric analysis of research in viral marketing and identifies its intellectual structure and evolution of topics, along with scholarly impact. Bibliometric data were obtained from a scientific database (e.g., Scopus), which was subsequently analyzed with the application of bibliometric methods, namely, co-occurrence analysis, co-authorship mapping, citation analysis, and visualization of keywords via VOSviewer. As per the findings of the analysis, viral marketing research can be said to have a foundation in computational network science, namely influence maximization, social network analysis, and data-driven diffusion models. In addition, a second stream of research concentrates on behavioral and communicative aspects, such as word-of-mouth, emotional motives behind sharing content online, and user engagement. Finally, there is a clear temporal trend related to a shift from the basic network theory to a greater focus on issues of online platforms and algorithms. It should be noted, however, that there is some thematic contamination in the dataset owing to the inclusion of biomedical literature for the COVID-19 period

Abstract

The current study offers a bibliometric analysis of academic research on VR/AR in customer experience, whose objectives include exploring the intellectual structure, thematic trends, and global patterns of cooperation within the research area. Data for the analysis were collected from a scientific database and analyzed via bibliometric methods such as co-word analysis, co-authorship mapping, density visualization, and citation analysis in VOSviewer software. The findings show that VR and AR represent the main research constructs which have close relationships with user experience, e-commerce, digital marketing, and human-computer interaction. Thematic trend analysis shows a transformation from basic research on the usability and immersivity of the interface towards more applied studies focused on e-commerce, tourism, and metaverse customer experiences. Citation analysis highlights a number of highly impactful publications that have contributed significantly to the theoretical and methodological development of the field, in particular, to experiential marketing and technology-driven customer experience. Network analysis also highlights the global, although uneven, nature of collaboration networks and certain hub countries in international cooperation.

Abstract

The current study seeks to examine the intellectual structure and evolution of water management as a part of the sustainable tourism research domain via bibliometric analysis approach. Based on publication data obtained from the scientific database and further analyzed using VOSviewer software, the study analyzes patterns of co-authorship, keywords' co-occurrences, thematic clustering, and citation performance in order to determine major trends and knowledge structure within the research domain. As the results show, sustainable development is identified as the main conceptual core of the domain, which tightly connects tourism, environmental sustainability, and water management. Key thematic clusters cover water resources management, ecotourism and ecosystem services, environmental degradation and pollution, as well as geoinformatics techniques like GIS and remote sensing. It was also discovered that over time there has been a shift from publications on environmental impacts and pollution towards more recent studies focused on water governance, adaptation to climate change and sustainable technological solutions. As for the pattern of cooperation, the field can be described as internationally connected but at the same time imbalanced, with several countries and organizations dominating in knowledge production.

Abstract

The growing emphasis on sustainability and employee development has encouraged organizations to adopt environmentally responsible marketing strategies and employee welfare initiatives to enhance organizational performance. This study examines the impact of Eco-Friendly Marketing and Employee Welfare Training Programs on Employee Retention and Customer Satisfaction in Indonesia. A quantitative research approach was employed using data collected from 175 respondents through a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results indicate that Eco-Friendly Marketing has a positive and significant effect on Employee Retention and Customer Satisfaction. Employee Welfare Training Programs also demonstrate positive and significant effects on Employee Retention and Customer Satisfaction. Furthermore, Employee Retention significantly influences Customer Satisfaction. The structural model explains 68.3% of the variance in Employee Retention and 78.1% of the variance in Customer Satisfaction, indicating strong predictive capability. The findings suggest that organizations implementing sustainable marketing practices alongside employee welfare development programs are more likely to retain employees and achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction. This study contributes to the literature on sustainability and human resource management by demonstrating the interconnected role of environmental responsibility and employee-focused initiatives in enhancing organizational performance within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Key Cultural Species (CSCs) are an important part of the traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous communities, possessing cultural, ecological, and economic value through the development of local wisdom-based tourism. This study aims to analyze the preferences of the Lekuk 50 Tumbi indigenous community, Kerinci Regency, regarding the use of CSCs as a tourism product. The study employed a mixed methods approach with an exploratory design. Data collection was conducted through structured interviews using a Likert-scale questionnaire, in-depth interviews, and field species identification. Respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique followed by snowball sampling. The results showed that 82.2% of respondents had not yet been involved in the use of CSCs as a tourism product, although 96.7% expressed interest in being involved in its development in the future. The pitcher plant (Nepenthes ampullaria Jack) was the most popular plant species to be developed as a tourism product (56.7%), while the semah fish (Tor douronensis) was the most frequently chosen animal species (68.9%). The most popular form of involvement was the development of souvenirs in the form of processed food products (45.6%), especially by female respondents. Gender, age, and marital status influence the preferred form of community involvement. These findings indicate that communities are highly prepared and interested in participating in Key Cultural Species-based tourism development. Therefore, developing tourism products that integrate conservation, cultural values, and community empowerment has the potential to be an effective strategy for supporting biodiversity conservation while improving the well-being of indigenous communities.

The rapid growth of social media-based commerce has significantly influenced consumer behavior, particularly in the skincare industry, where digital interaction and consumer-generated information play important roles in purchasing decisions. This study aims to examine the effect of social commerce features and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) on consumers’ purchase intentions for local skincare products in Central Java. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 150 respondents who had experience purchasing or using local skincare products. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measured using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The analytical techniques included validity testing, reliability testing, classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination analysis. The results indicate that social commerce features have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention. Furthermore, electronic word of mouth also has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention. The simultaneous test confirms that social commerce features and e-WOM significantly influence purchase intention, with an Adjusted R² value of 0.510, indicating that both variables explain 51.0% of consumer purchase intention variation. These findings demonstrate that interactive digital features and positive consumer recommendations are essential factors in strengthening consumer confidence toward local skincare products. This study provides practical implications for local skincare businesses to optimize social commerce strategies and encourage positive electronic word-of-mouth to improve competitiveness in the digital marketplace.
