The goal of this research is to examine the effect of knowledge and religiosity on consumers’ attitude towards Halal cosmetic products. Furthermore, the influence between consumers’ attitude and their intention to use Halal cosmetic products is also explored. The Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach supported by Smart-PLS 2.0 was employed to evaluate the hypothesized model. This study conveys a strong message to cosmetic companies, particularly the producers, retailers, and distributors of cosmetic products regarding the imperative to foster better knowledge among consumers’ regarding Halal cosmetic products consumption. The path estimate results of the PLS-SEM approach revealed that attitude is the strongest predictor of consumers’ intention to use Halal cosmetic products. By having a positive attitude towards Halal cosmetic products, consumers’ always look for the Halal label when buying cosmetic products. This proposition is further strengthened when the people considered most important to them also use Halal cosmetic products. Further, it was revealed that they also hold a strong belief that using Halal cosmetic products is important to them, especially when the decision to use it is of their own choice. Further, consumers’ attitude towards Halal cosmetic products was impacted by aspects such as knowledge and religiosity. This study also informs on the benefits of fostering better knowledge among consumers’ regarding Halal cosmetic products consumption towards captivating more demand of product consumption from Muslim consumers. The possible direction for future research is also presented.

This research aims to investigate the predictors of mobile addiction. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach supported by Smart-PLS 2.0 to assess the hypothesis in the research model. The PLS-SEM technique revealed that there was a strong correlation between social networking sites (SNS) intensity and mobile addiction. Users have positively expressed that visiting SNS is part of their everyday activity as they tend to check their SNS almost every day. They have this perception that they will feel out of touch when they do not log into their SNS for a day. In addition, they feel as if they are part of the community of SNS on campus. Those with many SNS accounts have a strong tendency to install and use mobile social networking apps on their mobile phones to connect and communicate with others. These heavy users frequently use their mobile phone to log into their social network via preferred social networking apps and actively use it to check the SNS.  The direction for future research is also presented.

Perusahaan jasa dan pariwisata semakin banyak menyediakan aplikasi salah satunya adalah Traveloka untuk mempertahankan dan meraih pangsa pasar yang kebih tinggi. Dalam memengaruhi niat untuk menggunakan sebuah aplikasi tentu sebuah perusahaan perlu memperhatikan kemudahan pengoperasian, keamanan bertransaksi, memberikan promo-promo yang menarik hingga memberikan pengalaman yang baik kepada pengguna. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi niat untuk menggunakan untuk menggunakan sebuah aplikasi dan penggunaan yang aktual seperti persepsi kemudahan penggunaan, persepsi nilai, persepsi kegunaan, norma subyektif, persepsi kepercayaan dan kesan. Peneltian ini dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan data melalui metode kuisioner kepada 300 responden yang menggunakan aplikasi Traveloka selama satu tahun terakhir dengan menggunakan metode Simple Random Sampling. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Hasil data menunjukkan bahwa persepsi kemudahan penggunaan dan persepsi nilai tidak berpengaruh kepada niat untuk menggunakan namun persepsi kemudahan, norma subyektif dan persepsi kepercayaan berpengaruh kepada niat untuk menggunakan. Niat untuk menggunakan juga berpengaruh kepada penggunaan aktual dan kesan juga berpengaruh kepada penggunaan aktual.

Work Meaningfulness

Research on engagement has gained considerable attention in recent years as it is a strong predictor of a range of positive individual and organizational outcomes. There is a question of why the level of the engagement is different from employee to employee in an organization, though they are provided with the same resources. This study aims to investigate the influence of fit perception on engagement and the role of the employee’s psychological condition (work meaningfulness) on this relationship. This study mainly employed a survey research strategy, and data were primarily garnered from a questionnaire. This study was conducted among 145 respondents from the public sector organizations in Sri Lanka. Partial least-square structural equation modelling was employed to analyse the generated data. In this study, the researcher has conceptualized fit perception as a higher order construct comprising Person Job fit and Person Organization fit. The study revealed that fit perception positively influences employee engagement, and this relationship is mediated by work meaningfulness. This study contributes to the literature by deepening the understanding of the fit perception and engagement relationship by introducing work meaningfulness as a mediator variable. By highlighting how engagement is influenced by fit perception and work meaningfulness, this study facilitates practitioners to build and maintain an engaged workforce. Further contributions of this study, the avenue for future research, and study limitations are presented in detail at the end of this article.

Research Findings

This study aims to examine effects of consumer confusion proneness on two consumer behavior variables, word of mouth and buying decision, in a confusion prone product market like smartphone and mobile applications (app). Additionally, the study examines the moderating influence of a personality trait variable pertinent to information processing – need for cognition, on the afore-mentioned relationships. Data were collected via a survey from 254 post-graduate students and analyzed with the help of structural equation modeling with a partial least square (PLS) approach using SmartPLS 2.0. Research findings indicate that the dimensions of consumer confusion proneness behave differently in terms of their linkages with consumer behavior. Further, as expected, consumers' need for cognition also play a major moderating role which helps to fathom the concept of consume confusion in the context of mobile and smartphone applications. Academic and managerial implications as well as scope for future research are also discussed.

This study investigates the factors influencing repurchase intention in online shopping context.Self-efficacy and trust were integrated with Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) components, namely performance expectancy and effort expectancy in explaining online repurchase intention. It was hypothesized that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, self-efficacy, and trust influence satisfaction and online repurchase intention. Satisfaction was posited to mediate the relationships between the proposed antecedents and online repurchase intention. 211 use able responses were collected through purposive sampling method and the data was analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). All proposed hypotheses were supported except the effects of effort expectancy and performance expectancy on online repurchase intention. All mediating effects of satisfaction proposed were found to be significant. Based on the findings, implications and future research directions were discussed.

Ketahanan pangan di Indonesia dapat dikatakan masih rentan, salah satunya ditandai dengan masih adanya angka kelaparan. Kondisi ini disebabkan oleh upaya pemenuhan kebutuhan dan permintaan pangan di Indonesia yang masih terkendala berbagai faktor salah satunya faktor alam yaitu perubahan iklim. Dampak dari perubahan iklim memengaruhi sistem pangan termasuk produksi, penyimpanan, akses dan stabilitas harga pangan. Indonesia termasuk negara yang memiliki ketahanan pangan paling rawan terkena dampak perubahan iklim di wilayah Asia Tenggara. Karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji pengaruh perubahan iklim terhadap ketahanan pangan dengan menggunakan metode structural equation modelling partial least square (SEM-PLS). Data yang digunakan bersumber dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), Kementrian Perikanan dan Kelautan, Kementrian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kementrian Pekerjaan Umum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perubahan iklim berpengaruh terhadap ketahanan pangan. Sehingga, dibutuhkan kebijakan untuk menangani perubahan iklim agar kerentanan dalam ketahanan pangan dapat diatasi.
