s study is a quantitative study using a causal-comparative approach. This sampling is done using a purposive sampling technique. The researcher aims to collect data from 189 respondents with different backgrounds and characteristics. This research method uses IBM SPSS Statistics 26 software. The first hypothesis in this study is accepted because there is a positive influence between discounts on purchasing decisions. The second hypothesis can also be accepted because there is a positive influence between service quality on purchasing decisions. Price reductions in the form of discounts can increase the attractiveness of a product, make it more affordable, and motivate consumers to buy the product compared to products with normal prices. Quality service can increase customer satisfaction, which ultimately encourages consumers to make purchases. Consumers tend to prefer companies that provide a satisfying service experience because they feel appreciated and cared for. Good service quality will also increase consumer trust in the company, which is a key factor in making purchasing decisions. The limitations of this study were only conducted on students at Yogyakarta State University, so the results may not fully represent the general population of Grab Food users. Researchers examined discounts and service quality as independent variables. The data collected may only reflect conditions at a certain time. Respondents who are students may provide biased answers, especially if they feel that the questions in the questionnaire are too directed or less relevant.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the impact of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) on consumer behavior among adolescent Shopee users in Jakarta. Shopee, as a popular e-commerce platform in Indonesia, has influenced consumption patterns,…
s, especially among female students, through attractive promotions such as discounts and free shipping. FoMO, which is the fear of missing out on popular opportunities or trends, can drive individuals to make impulsive purchases, even when these purchases do not meet their basic needs. This research employs a quantitative method using FoMO and consumer behavior measurement tools that have been validated. The results of the analysis indicate that FoMO has a positive influence on consumer behavior, with an influence rate of 59.6%. These findings suggest that higher levels of FoMO are associated with a greater likelihood of engaging in consumptive behavior, such as buying items merely to avoid missing out on discounts. This study reinforces the understanding that psychological factors such as FoMO can influence irrational purchasing decisions among adolescent e-commerce users.
Abstract:This study aims to determine the reasons behind customers' reluctance to adopt electronic payments and how these factors relate to their values. To identify the characteristics of electronic payments that customers find…
objectionable and to look into the relationships between those characteristics and people's values by looking at the effects of those characteristics; to offer advice to financial institutions and service providers on how to develop appropriate strategic plans to promote electronic payments in Libya. To achieve these research objectives, the means-end chain (MEC) theory is applied in combination with hard laddering interviews as a data collection method. Subsequently, the data is analyzed using the Association Pattern Technique (APT) to produce the Hierarchical Value Map (HVM). The HVM identifies five main obstacles that keep customers from using electronic payments: a lack of awareness about the benefits and security of electronic payments, a lack of laws protecting users of electronic payments, the unpopularity of electronic payments, the cost of transactions, and the lack of e-payment discounts. The Value Map also revealed that the most important value, safety, can explain the bulk of customers' reluctance to accept electronic payments. The respondents also expressed significant concerns about the economy and the convenience of e-payments. The report offers suggestions for banks and service providers to increase e-payment usage based on these findings.
Abstract:This study aims to examine the influence of discount framing, brand reputation, e-satisfaction, and e-loyalty on the use of online food delivery applications. The study employs a quantitative approach using survey methods…
s and hypothesis testing with SEM-AMOS version 23. The population of this study consists of users of online food delivery applications across Indonesia, with the unit of analysis being individuals. Data for this study were obtained from 135 respondents who filled out an online questionnaire based on a purposive sampling method. The results of the study indicate that discount framing has a positive effect on brand reputation and e-satisfaction. Brand reputation positively affects e-satisfaction. E-satisfaction positively impacts e-loyalty. This indicates that the higher the discount framing, the better the brand reputation and e-satisfaction for ordering food. Furthermore, the better the brand reputation, the higher the e-satisfaction, and the higher the e-satisfaction, the better the e-loyalty in ordering food through online food delivery applications. The implications of these results for application owners are to understand the influence of discount framing, brand reputation, e-satisfaction, and e-loyalty, so they can formulate strategies and policies related to these factors. Meanwhile, the implication for application users is that they can use applications that offer discount framing that suits their needs.
Abstract:This study investigates factors driving purchase intention toward reject fashion products at factory outlets in Makassar, Indonesia. Reject products garments that fail manufacturer quality control standards but are sold…
legally at discounted prices represent an underexplored segment of circular fashion consumption. Drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Value-Based Adoption Model, this study tests a structural model in which four antecedents defect transparency, price perception, environmental consciousness, and store reputation influence purchase intention through the mediating role of perceived value. A quantitative survey was conducted with 250 consumers who visited factory outlets in Makassar. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM via SmartPLS 4.0. Common Method Bias was confirmed absent using Harman's Single Factor Test and Full Collinearity VIF. Results indicate that all four antecedents positively influence perceived value, which strongly predicts purchase intention. Price perception is the dominant driver, followed by store reputation, environmental consciousness, and defect transparency. Perceived value fully mediates the effect of defect transparency and partially mediates the remaining three antecedents. These findings contribute to circular fashion consumer behavior literature and offer practical guidance for factory outlet operators in Eastern Indonesia.

ition and the rapid advancement of information technology have facilitated greater accessibility for customers in choosing industries. The Mazzuri Batu Bara industry is a business that sells coconut oil products and handcrafted items made from coconut. However, Mazzuri Batu Bara has not yet implemented services that make it easier for customers to purchase products efficiently and still relies on manual processes. Sales reports are recorded in ledgers, making the process inefficient for maintaining organized records. Customers are required to visit the industry in person to learn about the products available, which means they are unaware of the latest discounts and products on offer. One of the strategies to improve service and operations is to implement a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. The objective of this research is to assess the operability of the system design that has been developed. With the CRM design, sales can be enhanced to better meet customer needs. This system is designed to facilitate Mazzuri Batu Bara in selling products, processing data digitally, and improving customer service loyalty by retaining existing customers and attracting new ones.
