As businesses strive to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly products and services, understanding and assessing customer green loyalty have become pivotal objectives for sustained success. This research investigates the determinants of customers' green loyalty towards environmentally conscious goods and/or services. To achieve this objective, a quantitative analysis approach was adopted. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted using Google Forms, targeting 238 respondents. The collected data was subjected to descriptive statistics and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) for comprehensive analysis. The findings of this study underscore the significant influence of two crucial factors - green trust and green image - on customers' green loyalty. The positive relationship between green trust and green loyalty highlights the importance of establishing trust in eco-friendly brands. Additionally, the positive impact of green image signifies the role of a brand's environmental reputation in fostering customer loyalty. These insights hold paramount importance for both theory and practice, shedding light on customers' loyalty patterns towards green brands in Indonesia. As businesses navigate the dynamic landscape of sustainability-driven consumer preferences, this research can guide strategic marketing efforts and promote eco-friendly practices to attract and retain loyal customers.","PeriodicalId":225874,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Studies and Applied Marketing","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123865421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite offering many advantages, the rapid growth of e-commerce also brought challenges to the environment. In comparison to the traditional retail system, the logistic system of e-commerce involves more touch points. Due to this, products purchased from e-commerce require additional packaging material to protect products from harm and damages during the distribution process, which leads to the issue of overpackaging. Additionally, many researchers have suggested overpackaging solutions from the perspective of the government, e-commerce enterprises, and consumers. However, the effectiveness of those solutions are still unidentified. To close the gap that previous studies have not explored, this research is conducted to find recommendations for tackling the issue of overpackaging in e-commerce by examining the factors that influence consumer preferences towards e-commerce overpackaging solutions. In conducting the study, the researcher used a quantitative approach with purposive sampling by conducting an online survey to 400 e- commerce users from the age range of 17-26 years old (generation Z), domiciled in Bandung and Jabodetabek area, and have experienced overpackaging in e-commerce. The researcher uses descriptive, statistical, and PLS-SEM to analyze the survey result. The result indicates that Innovating Green Packaging Materials, The Establishment of a Recycling System, Government Policy, and Increasing Awareness Towards the Preservation of the Environment has a positive influence on Consumer Preference, The Establishment of a Recycling System and Consumer Preference is mediated by Government Policy and Increasing Awareness T owards the Preservation of the Environment, and Innovating Green Packaging Materials and Consumer Preference is mediated by Government Policy.

Whereas an athlete's performance is vital for the sponsors as it results in more exposure an athlete can expect to earn for the sponsors' visibility. Therefore, BNI's decision to sponsor the Indonesian badminton team is now arguable whether the company will benefit from this sponsorship deal. Previous research imposed the role of customer perceptions as the determinant of the sponsorship responses that implies the sports sponsorship effectiveness. Thus, the current research is meant to extend the understanding of sports sponsorship effectiveness, specifically from banking and financial institutions in the context of the Indonesian badminton team. The quantitative method through a questionnaire survey was chosen to conduct this research with a purposive sampling technique targeting the non-BNI users who are also the spectators of Indonesian international badminton tournaments in the last 2 years. The descriptive statistics and PLS-SEM were then utilized to analyze the 308 survey responses acquired. The results showed that consumers consider badminton events significant in Indonesia, although not for them. The sponsorship from BNI is also perceived as favorable and matches with the Indonesian badminton team. However, only some variables contribute positively to the sponsorship responses in brand awareness, corporate image, and purchase intention. To gain benefits from sports sponsorship, a company should attract the right target audience while showing real sincerity in sponsoring the sports property. Further research may be extended into other sports and locations of research to explain better the sports sponsorship effectiveness from consumers' perceptions.","PeriodicalId":225874,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Studies and Applied Marketing","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121309513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon leads to a highly saturated market, requiring brands to differentiate themselves through packaging, increasing companies' investment in packaging. Generational preferences influence packaging design, as Generation Z favors simple and sustainable packaging. This study aims to identify the cosmetic packaging attributes significantly impacting Generation Z's purchase intention. This research identifies visual packaging attributes such as packaging material, closure types, shape, color tone, and graphics as significant factors in customer purchase intention. The study uses a quantitative approach where a questionnaire is distributed to Generation Z residing in Jabodetabek and Bandung. Regression and conjoint analyses are employed to analyze the influence of the independent variable. The regression results indicate that packaging material, shape, and color tone significantly impact customer purchase intention. Conjoint analysis reveals that packaging material is the most important variable, followed by packaging shape, closure, and color tone. The most preferred packaging profile combination comprises glass material, dispensing closure, bottle shape, and tertiary Color. Even though both method results provide different rank significance results, the conjoint analysis provides more relevant results as it depicts packaging as a whole similar to real situations. The findings of this study can be utilized to determine which important packaging attributes need to be focused on during the designing process.","PeriodicalId":225874,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Studies and Applied Marketing","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128631722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These two generations will play important roles in financial institutions in the next decade and will dominate Indonesia in 2045. The main purpose of this study is to explore the determinants of Islamic financial inclusion of Generation Z and Millennials in West Java and compare them. The data from 616 respondents was collected and analyzed using PLS-SEM. It found that Generation Z and Millennials have differences in how much each factor affects them. The difference between them is that religiosity has a stronger influence on Millennials than on Generation Z, and social influence has a stronger influence on Generation Z than on Millennials.
