This study aims to determine the effect of Muslim customer perceived value on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty of sharia banking and religiosity role in moderating the existing effect. The study population includes all customers of Sharia banking. Total samples of 104 respondents are selected by accidental sampling technique. To know and to test the research hypothesis, data are analyzed by partial least square (PLS). This study has four results. First, the Muslim customer perceived value (MCPV) variable directly affects customer satisfaction. It consists of price, emotional values, and social values variables. While the quality, Islamic physical attributes, and Islamic non-physical attributes variables directly do not affect satisfaction of Islamic bank-ing customers. Second, Muslim customer perceived value (MCPV) variable directly affects customer loyalty. It consists of price, emotional value, physical and non-physical attributes of Islam. Moreover, quality and social value variables directly do not affect loyalty of sharia banking customers. Third, satisfaction only mediates the effect of price, emotional value, and social value variables on the loyalty of sharia banking customers. Satisfaction does not mediate the effect of quality, Islamic physical attributes, and Islamic non-physical attributes affect the loyalty of sharia banking customers. Forth, Religiosity does not moderate the effect of Muslim customer perceived value (MCPV) variable, namely Islamic physical attributes and Islamic non-physical attributes, on satisfaction of sharia banking customers.

The purpose of this research is to discover how paid blog advertisements influence consumer attitudes toward bloggers and the products they advertise will help marketers gain an understanding of how to use bloggers as paid sponsors to influence consumer purchase intent. Using online survey approach, the study recruited 280 participants through an online survey platform. Participants answered questions about their attitudes toward bloggers and their advertising when purchasing products. Furthermore, participants also answered questions about their perceived trust in the bloggers themselves as well as the authenticity and credibility of the brand-related communication received from bloggers. Moreover, they reported on their attitudes towards how deceptive they considered bloggers and their advertising to be. Finally, participants reported how paid blog ad-vertisements influence their purchase intent. The results indicated that the similarity between the consumer and the ad creator was an important psychological reason on why consumers were more likely to perceive ad-vertisements as more authentic, more affective, less deceptive and more credible, and they were thus more likely to trust the blogger. On the other hand, the importance of ad attribute (authenticity) does significantly influence consumers’ intention to purchase products advertised by a blogger. As consumers are becoming more skeptical of advertisements, blogs need to be entertaining and a pleasure to view. Not only does the con-tent need to be interesting, but also the design, flow and clarity of the blogs must also be considered important factors. In addition, advertising needs to be believable, credible and honest. In the online world, trust and credibility are still paramount in attracting consumers’ engagement; hence, promoting companies’ products and services through blogs can be an effective strategy to lower consumer skepticism barriers.

Technology and innovativeness have played an important role in service industries because of the competitive state, especially in developing countries. While using innovative technologies such as self-checkouts in stores is seen as advantageous in many aspects for retailers, if customers cannot adopt it, the usage of in stores becomes disadvantageous. However, the literature offers limited knowledge about the customers' adoption of self-checkouts in spite of its value for the survival of firms. Therefore, understanding what factors affect individuals' intention to use self-checkout systems has been a need for both practitioners and researchers. This study aims to spot out the determinants of intention to use self-checkout systems in a supermarket chain. In this regard, this study employs the technology acceptance model (TAM) to which the constructs technology anxiety, technology self-efficacy, compatibility, and knowledge are incorporated into the original model. The results of the analysis of the data (N=281) reveals that: (i) technology self-efficacy and knowledge are positively related to two beliefs, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, (ii) compatibility is positively associated with perceived usefulness, (iii) perceived usefulness is positively related to attitude, and (iv) attitude is positively associated with intention to use.

In the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution, competition in acquiring and retaining best talents in concert with talents’ unfamiliarity of what they will face and obtain in the course of working at a company are two major problems. It is essential for a company to make its employees satisfied and pleased with their jobs. These very satisfaction and pleasure are hoped to serve as a key for motivating employees to perform and contribute their best for the company. Numerous research studies have proven the positive effect of work well-being on job performance, but the findings came with inconsistencies and controversies. This fact has caused reluctance in a good many companies to invest in their employees’ work well-being. A survey of 509 millennial employees in the Indonesian startup digital industry was conducted in this research. The results show that employee’s work well-being had a significant, positive effect on job performance. Theoretically, this research has contributed in responding to inconsistencies in literature. It is hoped that this research will also offer practical contribution to individual employees as well as human resources department and increase company executives’ confidence in making organization-related strategic decisions to attain sustainable performance. Finally, we propose a number of intervention suggestions for performance improvement through work well-being.

This empirical study aims to identify the effects of different factors influencing on customer satisfaction, such as perceived quality or perceived value in a case study in chemical industry. Understanding the effects of such variables helps us manage customers properly, balancing between perceived quality and perceived value. The research design is a quantitative method and employs Structural Equation Method (SEM) to ensure the correlation between constructs. The method results confirm that perceived value contributes a stronger influence on customer satisfaction than perceived quality does. Chemical market tends to put perceived value as a priority as long as the product quality meets the standard parameter. Perceived quality is reflected more by service while there is less point of differentiation on tangible product. The paper may limit the generalization of the findings, hence the replication in other industries are encouraged.

This paper conducted an indepth assessment on the efficiency of the impacts of trade agreements on rice exports during the period from 2000 to 2015. Based on the secondary data published by the General Statistics Office of Vietnam and the World Bank, the study employed random boundary gravity model to quantify the capacity of Vietnam to exploit rice export potential when participating in trade agreements, or in other words, to estimate the inefficiency in operation of rice export activities of Vietnam under the impact of trade agreements. The results show that rice export activities have not promoted well (at a low level) the impact of the trade agreements that Vietnam has participated in and not all trade agreements have a trend to increase the capacity to exploit rice export potential. Since then, this study provides some recommendations to improve the impact of trade agreements on rice exports in developing countries including Vietnam.
