Uncovering Customer Reuse Intention on Coffee Shop Mobile Application: Is That Impactful?

Kim Gwi Gon — 2024-07-04

This study aims to explore the factors influencing customer behavior by examining the reuse intention of mobile applications, specifically focusing on Fore Coffee’s customers. Utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the research investigates how perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived value impact the intention to reuse the Fore Coffee mobile application. Data were gathered through a survey of Fore Coffee customers in Bali, employing non-probability sampling techniques, with purposive sampling as the specific method. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis via SPSS software to determine the relationships between the independent variables (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived value) and the dependent variable (reuse intention). The findings reveal that perceived value does not significantly affect the intention to reuse the Fore Coffee mobile application. In contrast, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use both have a partially significant positive impact on the reuse intention. These results suggest that while the perceived value of the app might not directly influence customers' decision to continue using it, factors such as its usefulness and ease of use play crucial roles in fostering reuse intentions. This insight is valuable for app developers and marketers aiming to enhance customer retention through improved user experience and functionality.

Exploring Managerial Barriers and Strategic Opportunities for E-Learning Deployment in Afghanistan

Musawer Hakimi — 2024-06-25

E-learning has common meanings with the terms network-based education, distance learning, web-based education, and computer-based education. Today, e-learning is a common learning tool for education due to its effectiveness. Due to the Covid-19 lockdown, governments shifted their regular education to an e-learning system. Apart from opportunities, this shift created challenges and obstacles to its implementation. We aim to investigate the barriers and opportunities of e-learning deployment in public universities. Hence, a case study research was designed, and data was gathered through questionnaires and interviews with 96 individuals from Kunduz, Parwan, Kabul, Takhar, Ghor, and Samangan universities, encompassing diverse fields of study. The data were analysed using SPSS 26. According to this research, 63% of participants strongly agreed with the effectiveness of e-learning implementation. Furthermore, certain opportunities and obstacles emerged after the utilization of e-learning platforms by both students and lecturers. The challenges of e-learning deployment were lack of access to the internet, lack of stable electricity, and poverty. Contribution to the literature: In comparison with the existing literature, the current study provided an analysis of e-learning in its tension-filled relationship with the broader institutional structures and sociocultural realities of public universities in Afghanistan that circumscribe teaching and learning. The analysis provided entrées into infrastructural conditions, economic contexts, and socio-political circumstances that facilitate and inhibit the implementation of e-learning while offering suggestions for policymakers and practitioners in similar consideration of areas that are similarly unstable.

Selfiana Goetha — 2024-06-25

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of scarcity messages, live commerce, and competitive arousal on impulse buying behavior. Unlike previous research that focused on consumer attitudes in traditional retail environments, this study explores the role of e-commerce applications in shaping consumer spending patterns under conditions of limited product availability and time constraints. Furthermore, it examines consumer interactions with sellers during live commerce sessions. This research employs a quantitative methodology, specifically utilizing hypothesis testing. The target population comprises residents of Kupang City who have engaged in purchases through e-commerce applications that feature live commerce sessions with restrictions on product availability and time (commonly referred to as flash sales). The sample size for this study consists of 450 respondents, selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection methods include both primary and secondary sources. Primary data is gathered through the distribution of questionnaires via Google Forms, while secondary data is obtained through literature reviews of relevant books and research studies. Additionally, observational data is collected from e-commerce platforms that conduct sales events. The data analysis is conducted using quantitative techniques, specifically employing the SEM-PLS analysis tool. The findings indicate that both scarcity messages and live commerce significantly influence impulse buying through competitive arousal; however, the effect of each variable is relatively modest. These results offer valuable insights for e-commerce messages and live streaming sessions on consumer impulsive behavior, businesses can develop more effective marketing strategies, such as leveraging flash sales or highlighting limitations in product availability and time.

The Effect of Return Expectations and Perceived Risk on Intention to Invest in Crypto Assets: Evidence from Indonesian Investors

Made Vera Kristanti Dewi — 2024-06-25

Investment in cryptocurrency offers high potential returns but is also accompanied by significant risks due to substantial price fluctuations. The volatile nature of crypto assets makes them a subject of intense interest and caution among investors. Before engaging in transactions, investors typically evaluate the potential risks and returns they may obtain, balancing the allure of high profits against the possibility of significant losses. Therefore, investors' intention to invest in crypto assets is based on these two factors: return expectations and risk perception. This study employs multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS software to examine the relationship between these variables. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with a sample size determined to be between 45 and 90 respondents to ensure statistical validity. The questionnaire was distributed online to the crypto asset investor community in Indonesia, and respondents provided answers using a Likert scale from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). The data analysis reveals that return expectations have a positive and significant effect on investment interest in crypto assets. Additionally, risk perception also has a positive and significant effect on investment interest in crypto assets, indicating that even perceived risks do not deter investment interest, possibly due to the high return potential. Furthermore, return expectations and risk perception simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on investment interest in crypto assets, suggesting that both factors jointly influence investment intentions. These findings provide valuable insights for investors and market participants in understanding the factors influencing investment decisions in cryptocurrency, highlighting the importance of managing both expected returns and perceived risks in investment strategies.
