Abstract

The cosmetic retail industry in Indonesia faces intense competition and increasingly crowded store environments. While prior studies predominantly emphasize the negative consequences of crowding, this study offers a different perspective by examining its potential to elicit positive emotional responses. Drawing on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, this research investigates the effects of human crowding and spatial crowding on consumers’ excitement and stress, and their subsequent impact on satisfaction and impulsive buying behavior. A quantitative survey of 276 consumers was analyzed using SEM-PLS. The findings reveal that human crowding significantly increases both excitement and stress, while spatial crowding primarily triggers stress without affecting excitement. Notably, both excitement and stress positively influence satisfaction, suggesting that stress in this context may function as eustress (positive stress) rather than purely negative pressure. Furthermore, satisfaction significantly drives impulsive buying behavior. This study offers a novel perspective that retail crowding extends beyond negative implications and introduces the role of eustress in shaping consumer experiences in hedonic retail settings. Practical insights for managing crowding to enhance emotional engagement and stimulate impulsive purchases are discussed.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the forms of China’s aggressiveness, analyze how Indonesia formulated and implemented its defense politics, and assess the effectiveness of such responses in safeguarding Indonesia’s sovereignty and sovereign rights in the North Natuna Sea. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documentation, consisting of primary data from informants involved in the formulation and implementation of defense policy, as well as secondary data from official documents, academic literature, and relevant regulations. Data were analyzed qualitatively through classification, categorization, interpretation, and triangulation of sources and methods. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s defense politics during 2014–2023 were carried out through an adaptive, measured, and integrative approach by combining defense posture strengthening, maritime patrols, law enforcement, defense diplomacy, and international legal legitimacy. This defense politics was relatively effective in preventing the establishment of China’s de facto control over Indonesia’s jurisdictional waters and in maintaining regional stability, although it still faced challenges such as power asymmetry, limited maritime capacity, the complexity of gray zone threats, and inter-agency coordination constraints.
