The Influence Of Beauty Influencer Marketing And Viral Marketing On Purchase Intention: The Mediating Role Of Brand Trust In The Originote Skincare Products
This study aims to examine the impact of beauty influencer marketing and viral marketing on purchase intention, with brand trust as a mediating variable in the context of the skincare brand The Originote. The use of influencer and viral marketing strategies has become increasingly popular among brand owners as a means to foster consumer trust and drive purchasing behaviour. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was adopted. Primary data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 160 male and female respondents aged 20 and above, all of whom are active social media users familiar with the influencers Tasya Farasya and Dokter Detektif. The data were analyzed using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method via SmartPLS 4.0 software. The findings reveal that both beauty influencer marketing and viral marketing have a positive and significant influence on brand trust and purchase intention. in addition, brand trust was found to significantly mediate the relationship between both types of marketing and purchase intention
The Effect Of Employee Engagement On Turnover Intention: The Mediating Role Of Job Satisfaction At PT XYZ, A Healthcare Provider Company
Employee engagement is a critical factor in managing human resources in the healthcare sector. Low engagement may reduce job satisfaction and increase turnover intention, affecting service quality and organizational stability. At PT XYZ, internal data show declining engagement and rising turnover intention in the past two years. This study aims to examine the effect of employee engagement on turnover intention, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative survey method, data from 131 permanent employees were analyzed with PLS-SEM. The expected result is that employee engagement negatively affects turnover intention, with job satisfaction mediating this relationship. Findings are expected to support policies to improve employee retention and satisfaction in healthcare services
Performance Evaluation of Machine Learning Algorithms in Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis on E-Commerce User Reviews
The rapid growth of the e-commerce industry in Indonesia has resulted in a significant surge in the number of user reviews available on various digital platforms. These reviews contain valuable information about customer experiences related to price, product quality, service, delivery, and applications. However, the massive volume of data and its unstructured nature pose challenges in extracting relevant information. Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) presents an approach that can provide deeper insights by identifying sentiment towards specific aspects within a review, rather than just the overall general sentiment. This study aims to evaluate the performance of several machine learning algorithms, namely Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), in implementing ABSA on e-commerce user reviews in Indonesia. The dataset used consists of 20,000 user reviews of the Shopee and Tokopedia applications obtained through a crawling process on the Google Play Store. The data is processed through several stages: text preprocessing, aspect and sentiment annotation, model training, and performance evaluation using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-Score metrics. The evaluation results showed differences in performance among the tested algorithms. Naïve Bayes achieved an accuracy of 82.5%, KNN achieved 84.6%, Random Forest 87.1%, while SVM provided the best performance with an accuracy of 89.3% and an F1-Score of 88.3%. This difference in performance indicates that algorithms that are better able to handle high-dimensional text representations, such as SVM, are superior in aspect-based sentiment classification compared to other methods. Thus, this study not only provides a comprehensive overview of the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in sentiment analysis in the e-commerce sector but also provides a practical basis for developing recommendation systems, improving customer service, and enhancing user experience strategies on digital platforms. This research is expected to serve as a reference in the application of machine learning to support the growth of the e-commerce industry in Indonesia
Assessing Service Quality, Product Quality, And Brand Image On Repurchase Intention Through Customer Satisfaction At Arunika Restaurant Palembang: A Pilot Study
In Palembang’s increasingly competitive food and beverage (F&B) industry, customer retention has become a pressing challenge for businesses like Arunika Restaurant. Despite serving over 1,600 customers monthly, the restaurant faces fluctuating sales and limited product differentiation in a market where digital engagement plays a critical role. This study investigates the influence of service quality, product quality, and brand image on repurchase intention, with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable. A pilot test was conducted with 30 Arunika customers using a structured questionnaire distributed via face-to-face interactions and completed through Google Forms. The data were analyzed using SPSS to assess the instrument’s validity and reliability. All items demonstrated Corrected Item Total Correlation (CITC) values above 0.3 and Cronbach’s Alpha values exceeding 0.7 (Indrawati, 2015). Furthermore, loading factors surpassed 0.70, AVE values exceeded 0.50, and Composite Reliability (CR) values ranged from 0.871 to 0.909, confirming strong internal consistency and convergent validity (Hair et al., 2022). These results support the instrument’s suitability for use in further analysis of repurchase behavior in the F&B sector
Exploratory Analysis and Identification of Factors Challenging Digital Transformation in Bio Farma Group
In the era of Industry 4.0, companies must adapt to remain competitive, including through digital transformation. Bio Farma, a leading vaccine manufacturer in Indonesia and the parent of the state-owned pharmaceutical holding (Bio Farma Group), is undergoing such a transformation. This includes subsidiaries like Kimia Farma, Indofarma, and INUKI. To accelerate this process, Bio Farma established the Directorate of Transformation and Digital to coordinate initiatives across all levels of the organization. This study explores and identifies the main challenges in the company’s digital transformation using a mixed-methods approach with an exploratory sequential design. Data were collected from interviews with five key informants and surveys involving 327 employees across the Bio Farma Group. A combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis, including Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), was used to uncover the core challenges. The findings revealed 13 key factors: digital capability, strategy, technology, organization and culture, digital efficiency, digital readiness, customer focus, digital research, investment perception, operations, collaboration, investment review, and digital priority. These challenges extend beyond technical issues to strategic planning, organizational readiness, cultural alignment, collaboration, and investment evaluation. This research provides a strategic reference for managing digital transformation, particularly for state-owned enterprises in the health sector. The results are expected to support Bio Farma Group in formulating effective policies to enhance digital capabilities, strengthen collaboration, improve efficiency, and ensure sustainable digital development.
 
Application Of The Profile Matching Method For A Decision Support System In Selecting The Quality Of Fresh Fruit Marks (FFB) Of Oil Palm Worth Harvesting
Oil palm has an important role for the country's economy and is one of the commodity crops for Indonesian plantations. The oil content in palm oil has benefits for everyday life such as cooking oil, processed food, cosmetics and so on. Selection of quality fresh fruit bunches (FFB) for oil palm suitable for harvest requires a method to determine which fresh fruit bunches (FFB) are very suitable. One way to do this is by using the profile matching method. The profile matching method is a method of making decisions by assuming that there is an ideal variable level. The results of the study concluded, among others: the decision support system used to assist in selecting the quality of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm worth harvesting. The application of the profile matching method can make decisions in selecting the quality of fresh fruit bunches worth harvesting based on ranking for the 30 samples used. TBS20 with a value of 4.9 is ranked first and TBS16 with a value of 3 is ranked last
