Rapid adoption of cashless payments has reshaped everyday spending, especially among young consumers. While e-wallets deliver speed and convenience, constant exposure to discounts, cashbacks, and one-click checkouts may also foster more frequent discretionary purchases. This study examines the relationship between e-wallet usage intensity and consumptive lifestyle, focusing on how convenience and promotional stimuli relate to spending tendencies. Using a cross-sectional online survey of students and early-career workers, we collected self-reports on payment habits and consumption patterns with validated Likert-type instruments. Data were screened and analyzed with correlation and linear regression after basic assumption checks. The results indicate a positive and statistically meaningful association between e-wallet usage and consumptive lifestyle; respondents who transact more often via e-wallets tend to report stronger preferences for instant gratification, hedonic purchases, and impulse buying. Convenience features (e.g., stored cards, fast checkout) and promotional exposure (e.g., limited-time deals) emerged as salient correlates of the relationship. The findings add contextual evidence from Indonesia’s digital economy and suggest practical implications for users, platforms, and educators. Financial-wellbeing interventions such as digital budgeting tips, in-app nudges, spend limits, or post-purchase reflections may help align seamless payments with healthier consumption decisions. Future work can test causal mechanisms and evaluate design features that encourage prudent, goal-consistent spending without diminishing user experience.

The development of digital technology and the massive penetration of social media have transformed consumption patterns, particularly among younger generations. Excessive use of social media may lead to addictive behavior, which has the potential to trigger psychological anxiety such as fear of missing out, and ultimately encourage impulse buying behavior. Denpasar City, as a center of urbanization and consumption in Bali, serves as an appropriate location to examine this phenomenon, as its community tends to be consumptive and highly active in social media use. The purpose of this study is to explain the role of fear of missing out in mediating the effect of social media addiction on impulse buying. This study employs Uses and Gratifications (U&G) theory as the theoretical foundation, with a sample of 130 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire method. The study applied descriptive and inferential techniques, including Path Analysis, Classical Assumption Test, and Sobel Test. The findings reveal that fear of missing out mediates the effect of social media addiction on impulse buying. This study strengthens the understanding that social media not only influences social interaction but also shapes impulsive consumption behavior as a result of psychological pressure and exposure to digital content.

This study aims to analyze the effect of store layout and product display on computer spare part sales at Bandung Trade Mall. The background of this study is based on the increasing competition in the computer retail business, which requires effective visual merchandising strategies to attract consumers. The research method used a quantitative approach with a survey of 20 respondents selected purposively. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and informal interviews, then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that store layout and product display have a significant simultaneous effect on sales with an F value of 12.43; sig. < 0.05. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.62 indicates that both variables explain 62% of the variation in sales, while the rest is influenced by other factors outside the model. These findings reinforce the S-O-R theory that visual stimuli can increase consumer comfort, interest, and impulse buying. This study has practical implications for computer retailers to optimize store layout and product display as a strategy to improve sales performance.

This study examines the phenomenon of Muslim consumer consumptive behavior in the digital era, focusing on online shopping activities through e-commerce platforms. The main goal is to examine the conformity of consumption behavior with the principles of consumption ethics in Islam. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with selected Muslim consumers as well as observations of purchasing patterns over three months. The results show that the ease of access to technology, the intensity of promotion, and the influence of social media are the dominant factors that encourage impulse buying behavior. This phenomenon creates a gap between actual consumption practices and Islamic ethical values, especially related to the principles of moderation (wasathiyah), avoidance of waste (israf), and social responsibility in shopping. While some respondents showed awareness of these values, the pressures of the digital environment and consumptive lifestyles often obscure ethical considerations in purchasing decision-making. The implications of these findings emphasize the urgency of strengthening Islamic consumption literacy through digital education, awareness campaigns, and the integration of religious values in ethical marketing strategies. This research is expected to be the basis for the development of sustainable consumption policies based on spiritual values, as well as encourage Muslim consumers to be more critical and wise in facing the evolving dynamics of digital commerce.

This study aims to analyze the influence of TikTok social media and store atmosphere on impulsive buying behavior among Generation Z at the Minisopink Store PVJ Mall Bandung. Impulsive buying is often triggered by emotional and external stimuli, and this phenomenon is often found among Gen Z, who are strongly influenced by social media content and store atmosphere. Although the implemented marketing strategy has followed consumer trends, its implementation is considered not optimal in utilizing the potential for impulsive buying. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive and verification methods to understand the influence of these two variables. The research sample was obtained through a questionnaire distributed to respondents who met specific criteria, namely having shopped at the Minisopink Store PVJ Mall Bandung, following the store's official TikTok account, and actively using TikTok social media. The distributed questionnaire measured the extent of the influence of TikTok social media and store atmosphere on impulsive buying behavior. The results show that TikTok social media has a positive and significant influence on impulsive buying among Gen Z. Engaging TikTok content, such as promotional videos and other creative content, can trigger emotions and encourage the desire to buy products impulsively. On the other hand, store atmosphere, including elements such as interior design, lighting, and music, also showed a positive influence on impulse buying behavior. However, the effect was not significant, indicating that the store atmosphere is not yet fully capable of creating a strong enough emotional appeal to encourage impulse buying. This finding indicates that Minisopink's digital marketing strategy through TikTok has not maximized the potential of features such as hashtags and interactive videos (stitch), which can further increase user engagement. Furthermore, store atmosphere elements such as music also need to be improved to create a more immersive and engaging shopping experience.

Gojek, as a leading on-demand service company in Indonesia, continues to leverage technological advancements and shifts in consumer behavior from offline to online shopping. One of its flagship services, GoFood, faces challenges in maintaining its market position and increasing the number of transactions due to increasing competition in the food delivery industry. This study aims to explain the role of positive emotions in mediating the influence of promotional appeals on impulse purchases among GoFood customers. This study uses consumer behavior theory and the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model as a theoretical basis. The study was conducted in Denpasar City, involving 180 respondents through a survey method using questionnaires distributed offline and online. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling approach. Data analysis was carried out using path analysis, classical assumption tests, Sobel tests, and Variance Accounted For (VAF) tests with the help of SPSS 25 software. The results showed that all proposed hypotheses were accepted. Promotional appeals had a positive and significant effect on impulse purchases. Promotional appeals also had a positive and significant effect on positive emotions. Furthermore, positive emotions also significantly influence impulse buying. Positive emotions have been shown to partially mediate the effect of promotional appeal on impulse buying. Practical implications of this research suggest that GoFood optimize attractive discount promotions by providing users with greater flexibility and control to evoke positive emotions that encourage impulse buying behavior. Discount promotions should be designed creatively and personally, using engaging visuals, persuasive language, and offers tailored to customer preferences.
