Abstract

The increasing competition in the e-commerce industry requires platforms to strengthen customer loyalty. This study examines the effect of e-service quality, interactive features, and e-satisfaction on customer loyalty toward Shopee e-commerce among students of Sumbawa University of Technology. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected from 170 Shopee users selected through purposive sampling and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that e-service quality, interactive features, and e-satisfaction have a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty, both partially and simultaneously. These findings indicate that improvements in electronic service performance, engaging interactive features, and higher customer satisfaction significantly increase customer loyalty toward Shopee. This study provides empirical evidence for e-commerce platforms in designing strategies to enhance customer loyalty, particularly among university students.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital banking applications like Wondr by BNI has transformed financial services for digital-native students at Sumbawa University of Technology, yet factors driving sustained usage remain underexplored. This study aims to analyze the influence of Perceived Ease of Use, E-Service Quality, and Security on Reuse Intention. A quantitative survey method was employed targeting an unknown population of UTS students, using purposive sampling to select 100 active Wondr by BNI users. Data were collected via structured Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-test, and Adjusted R² through SPSS version 26. Results indicate Perceived Ease of Use significantly affects Reuse Intention (p=0.001), while E-Service Quality (p=0.075) and Security (p=0.911) show insignificant partial effects. Simultaneously, all variables jointly influence Reuse Intention (F=5.415, p=0.002), explaining 11.8% variance. In conclusion, ease of use emerges as the dominant factor, with others providing supplementary support for sustained adoption.

Abstract

This study investigates how Stakeholder Theory explains corporate motivations and practices in sustainability and integrated reporting amid growing pressure for transparent ESG disclosure. The research aims to synthesize conceptual and empirical evidence on the role of stakeholder engagement, governance mechanisms, and compliance with GRI and Integrated Reporting frameworks in shaping reporting quality and corporate legitimacy. A qualitative Systematic Literature Review was conducted using the PRISMA protocol, with Google Scholar as the primary database for 2018–2025 publications. The population comprised 75,600 articles identified with the keywords “Stakeholder Theory,” “Sustainability Reporting,” and “Integrated Reporting,” from which 11 peer-reviewed journal articles were selected through staged identification, screening, and eligibility assessment. The PRISMA flow, inclusion–exclusion criteria, and descriptive tables served as instruments, while thematic synthesis and qualitative quality appraisal were used for data analysis. The results show that Stakeholder Theory is the predominant lens explaining how stakeholder pressure and engagement enhance disclosure transparency, reporting quality, governance discipline, and perceived legitimacy, although findings differ across regulatory and industry contexts. The study concludes that non-financial reporting functions as a strategic accountability instrument, yet methodological heterogeneity and single-database dependence limit generalizability, indicating the need for broader, multi-database, and mixed-method research in future studies

Abstract

This study examines the influence of product quality and service quality on customer satisfaction with Goodluch, a local digital-based fashion brand. The research aims to determine the extent to which these two variables—product quality (X₁) and service quality (X₂)—affect consumer satisfaction (Y). A descriptive-verificative quantitative method was used with 96 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and documentation, then analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results show that product quality (sig. = 0.057 > 0.05) has no significant effect on customer satisfaction, while service quality (sig. = 0.013 < 0.05) has a significant positive effect. Simultaneous testing (F = 6.045; sig. = 0.003) indicates that both factors jointly affect satisfaction. The study concludes that Goodluch customer satisfaction is predominantly influenced by service quality supported by adequate product quality. Improving service responsiveness and product consistency is recommended to enhance loyalty.

Abstract

Mudharabah financing in Indonesian Islamic banking remains low (6-8%) due to moral hazard and asymmetric information risks, limiting profitability despite its profit-sharing potential. This study analyzes Incentive Compatible Constraints (ICC) implementation at BPRS Al-Washliyah Medan to mitigate risks and enhance profitability. Using qualitative field research, purposive and snowball sampling targeted employees and mudharabah stakeholders (n=unspecified, saturation-based). Data from interviews, observations, and documents were analyzed via Miles & Huberman's model (reduction-presentation-verification). Findings reveal ICC strategies—collateral requirements, age/debt service limits, transparent monitoring, revenue-sharing ratios—effectively reduce moral hazard while boosting profitability through healthier bank-customer partnerships. Implementation challenges include individual customers lacking audited reports and resource constraints. Conclusions recommend standardized ICC guidelines and quantitative model development for broader Islamic finance applications.

Abstract

The development of e-commerce in Indonesia has led to increasingly fierce competition, particularly in the local fashion industry, which utilizes digital platforms such as Shopee. Momentum-based promotional strategies, such as the Double Date Digital Campaign, and marketing communication through Electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM) are important factors in influencing consumer purchasing decisions, especially among the younger generation. This study aims to analyze the influence of the Double Date Digital Campaign and Electronic Word of Mouth on the purchase decision of Erigo products on Shopee. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a survey technique using a Likert scale questionnaire. The research sample consisted of 95 active student respondents selected using simple random sampling. The data were analyzed using classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, determination coefficients, and hypothesis testing with the help of SPSS. The results showed that the Double Date Digital Campaign had a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions, as did Electronic Word of Mouth. Simultaneously, both variables had a significant effect on purchasing decisions with an Adjusted R Square value of 0.678, meaning that 67.8% of the variation in purchasing decisions could be explained by the research model. In conclusion, digital campaign strategies on twin dates were the most dominant factor in driving purchasing decisions, reinforced by the role of online reviews and recommendations in building consumer trust.
