Abstract

Global brands increasingly rely on emotional branding to foster consumer loyalty, yet its effectiveness varies across cultural contexts. Many organizations continue to adopt universal emotional strategies without accounting for how cultural values shape emotional perception and brand attachment. This study explores how emotional branding drives customer loyalty through constructs such as brand love, attachment, trust, and self-congruity, and how these mechanisms are moderated by cultural dimensions including individualism–collectivism, communication context, and power distance. Findings indicate that emotional appeals resonate differently depending on local cultural norms: collectivist and high-context societies respond more positively to subtle, relational branding, while individualist and low-context cultures favor explicit, identity-centered emotional messaging. Strategic implications highlight the importance of culturally adapted storytelling, platform-specific messaging, and authenticity in emotional branding execution. Brands that align emotional content with local cultural expectations are more likely to foster sustained loyalty. Further research is encouraged to examine emotional branding in emerging markets and digital ecosystems to advance culturally responsive global marketing practices.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) on impulsive buying in the purchase of Korean Pop (K-pop) albums among K-pop fans in Makassar City, and to analyze the moderating role of product uniqueness in this relationship. A quantitative approach was applied using a survey method, with 110 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The criteria for respondents included being over 17 years old, residing in Makassar, and having purchased K-pop albums more than twice. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The results indicate that FoMO has a positive and significant influence on impulsive buying, meaning that the higher the level of FoMO, the greater the tendency of individuals to make impulsive purchases. However, product uniqueness does not significantly moderate the relationship between FoMO and impulsive buying. These findings highlight the psychological dimension of consumer behavior in entertainment-related industries, although product uniqueness does not enhance or weaken FoMO’s impact on impulse buying behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing labor absorption in tofu and tempeh businesses in Jonggat District, Central Lombok Regency. The study focuses on wage, age, education, and gender as independent variables. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using a census method involving all 44 tofu and tempeh business owners. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that, simultaneously, all four independent variables significantly influence labor absorption. Partially, wage has a positive and significant effect, meaning that higher wages increase labor absorption. Age has a significant negative effect, suggesting that older workers have lower chances of being absorbed. Gender also has a significant positive effect, with male workers dominating labor-intensive sectors like tofu and tempeh production. Meanwhile, education does not significantly affect labor absorption, as practical skills are more critical than formal education in this industry. The adjusted R² value of 66.64% indicates that the model explains more than half of the variation in labor absorption. These findings offer valuable implications for business owners and policymakers in formulating strategies to improve labor absorption in small-scale industries.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Yan HC Division Surabaya in improving the efficiency of health and pension reimbursement processes at PT PLN (Persero) UID East Java. Administrative services, particularly those related to claim submissions and retirement processing, often encounter bureaucratic obstacles that delay service delivery. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. The findings show that service digitalization, strengthened inter-unit coordination, and the formation of a special verification team have significantly enhanced the speed and accuracy of the reimbursement process. Although technical issues and document mismatches from external parties still occur, the Yan HC Division has introduced innovations and adaptive solutions that foster more efficient, transparent, and accountable administrative services.
