Abstract

The rapid development of the business world has resulted in several changes to business actors in carrying out their business activities. This encourages the emergence of standard agreements as practicality in conducting transactions. This study aims to analyze consumer protection law and apply the principles of freedom of contract in standard agreements in online and retail financial services businesses—the descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques using in-depth interviews and documentation studies. Informants were selected by purposive sampling. The results show that standard clauses have been regulated in Article 18 of the Consumer Protection Law. However, in practice, clauses are still found that violate and transfer responsibility to the detriment of consumers. Furthermore, regarding consumer dispute resolution, there is an overlap issue between the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Consumer Dispute Resolution Agency (BPSK). Therefore, if viewed from the principle of freedom of contract, the standard agreement cannot fulfill the principle of freedom of contract, and consumer protection, so especially in the financial services sector and retail, needs to increase preventive and repressive supervision by providing several alternatives dispute resolutions for disadvantaged consumers.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of technology in various sectors, one of which is the healthcare industry. Telemedicine users increased during the Covid-19 pandemic, but only 10% of Indonesia's population. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the intention to use telemedicine. This research uses a descriptive quantitative method. The sampling technique used non-probability sampling with a voluntary sampling technique. Data analysis applied Structural Equation Modeling using LISREL version 8.8. Data were obtained from 225 respondents in Greater Jakarta and Greater Bandung from January to March 2022, but only 192 were included in the analysis. The results showed that the intention to use telemedicine was directly influenced by attitude (A) and indirectly influenced by interrelated variables such as trust (T), perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU), information quality (IQ), service quality (SrQ), and system quality (SQ). Implications that telemedicine service providers can apply to increase the use of telemedicine are to create the best experience, user friendly, provide complete information, and increase the reliability of information systems.

This study used a cross-sectional study design. Three hundred and eighteen respondents were collected by voluntary sampling. Data were collected through Google Forms online questionnaire and processed Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that gender, age, education, and monthly income were positively and significantly related to brand trust. Age, monthly income, frequency of purchasing local cosmetic brand X, types of local cosmetic brand X products purchased, and duration of use of local cosmetic brand X products have a positive and significant relationship with consumer loyalty.

Abstract

Around 70 percent of deaths in Indonesia are non-communicable diseases (NCDs) due to excessive consumption of sugar, salt, and fat. This study aims to determine consumer protection over sugar, salt, and fat information access. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected in March 2022 through Focus Group Discussions with informants from regulators, business associations, and consumer protection activists, as well as field observations in South Tangerang City and Semarang. The sampling method used was purposive sampling. Government regulations, business compliance, and supervision influence consumer rights to access sugar, salt, and fat information. Government regulations are still limited, and there needs to be an explanation of the implementation and standards. Many modern and traditional retailers still need to include information about sugar, salt, and fat, as well as health messages, in their product packaging. The government needs to intensify socialization and educate business actors regarding the obligation to include nutritional value information and health messages. Consumers also need to be educated about the dangers of excessive sugar, salt, and fat consumption and the nutritional literacy of their products.

Abstract

The existence of a consumer protection law and the ratification of the CRPD by the Indonesian government is expected to guarantee the safety and comfort of consumers, including persons with disabilities. Therefore, the problem of comparative regulation and institutional, as well as the supervision of the implementation of public services for persons with disabilities, is raised in Indonesia and Australia. Australia was chosen as a comparison because this country already has a comprehensive protection system for persons with disabilities and is fully committed to providing public service facilities. This research is a prescriptive normative research using secondary data consisting of primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. This study concludes that similar to Indonesia, the formation of regulations and policies in Australia in the public service sector for persons with disabilities has reached a technical level and is carried out in a coordinated manner between the center and the regions. The basic difference is that the institutional system that handles the planning, implementation, and supervision of public services for persons with disabilities in Indonesia is separated into various ministries and/or agencies so that it requires strengthening synergies at the central and regional levels so that the implementation of public services is guaranteed optimally.

Abstract

Sri Lanka has a rapidly aging population in South Asia, but little attention is given to financial preparedness for retirement. This study expects to provide an overview of the current retirement system in Sri Lanka and investigate financial and pension literacy's role in retirement preparedness. This study administered an online survey to study retirement preparedness subjectively (n = 142) and objectively (n = 115) among the EPF contributors. This non-experimental study uses an online survey to assess financial and pension literacy's roles in retirement preparedness. This study used ordered logistic (Ologit) regressions and ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions to test the two hypotheses. Results indicate a positive and statistically significant association between financial (only objective measure) and pension literacy and retirement preparedness. However, another study shows no synergy effect between financial and pension literacy. Conclusively, drawing policymakers' attention to diversifying EPF investments, including financial and pension literacy concepts in workplace workshops and studying pension literacy and retirement preparedness in different samples.

Abstract

Young consumers prefer to switch shopping channels freely for optimal shopping results and experiences. To meet these changing needs, retailers have begun implementing an omnichannel retail strategy that integrates their various shopping channels to create a consistent and seamless shopping environment. Thus, this study examines the effect of young consumers' perceptions of the retailer's channel consistency and seamlessness on their attitudes, intentions, and behaviors in the omnichannel retailing context. We incorporated the concept of channel consistency and seamlessness into the Theory of Reasoned Action to address the study objective. A consumer research firm was hired to recruit millennials and Gen Z consumers, and online surveys took place in the U.S. in 2019, and 430 usable surveys were analyzed with SPSS and AMOS. The results confirmed that consumers’ perception of channel seamlessness positively impacted their attitudes toward omnichannel shopping. Furthermore, these attitudes and subjective norms increased their intentions, leading to engagement in omnichannel shopping. The findings suggest that retailers must create smooth and uninterrupted shopping experiences across channels and proactively manage social components to create a customer’s omnichannel shopping experience
