Value-Based Adoption Model to Increase Purchase Intention in the Use of Virtual Try-On

2025-04-30T06:34:23+00:00

Abstract:

The rapid advancement of e-commerce, driven by the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) Virtual Try-On technology, has significantly transformed consumer purchasing behavior. This study explores the impact of AR-based Virtual Try-On on purchase intention using the Value-Based Adoption Model (VAM) framework. A quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to analyze data from 318 respondents through an online survey. The respondents consisted of Generation Y (1981-1996) and Generation Z (1997-2012), representing diverse demographic backgrounds. The findings reveal that Perceived Value, Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Enjoyment, and Technology Informativeness positively and significantly affect purchase intention. Perceived Value, as the core of VAM, reflects the balance between perceived benefits and sacrifices in adopting new technology. Meanwhile, other factors, such as Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness, are adapted from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to offer a broader perspective on consumer adoption of AR Virtual Try-On. This technology enhances user experience, reduces perceived product risk, and provides substantial added value for consumers. The study concludes that implementing AR-based Virtual Try-On is a crucial innovation to boost consumer engagement and loyalty, ultimately driving the growth and competitive advantage of e-commerce platforms, particularly in Indonesia.

2025-05-07T11:14:51+00:00

The hospitality industry, particularly 5-star hotels at the pinnacle of this sector, heavily relies on exceptional service quality standards to uphold the brand reputation, customer satisfaction, and overall Customer Experience (CX). Achieving these high standards largely depends on Employee Engagement (EE), as well as employee satisfaction and retention, given that employees serve as the hotel's frontline brand ambassadors. However, the industry—including the 5-star Hotel X in Bali—faces a higher employee turnover rate than other sectors. One of the ways that Hotel X fosters employee engagement (EE) is by implementing internal employer branding (IEB) initiatives. This study aims to measure the effect of Internal Employer Branding (IEB) and Leadership Style (LS) —a key factor influencing employee turnover—on Employee Engagement (EE), with Employee Experience (EX) acting as a mediating variable. The research employs Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis using a saturated sample of 252 respondents. Hypothesis testing results indicated that 4 out of 5 direct effect hypotheses positively affect their latent variables, and 1 of 2 specific indirect effect (mediation) hypotheses directly impact Employee Engagement (EE). The findings suggest that Employee Experience (EX) substantially mediates internal employer branding (IEB) and Employee Engagement (EE). However, Leadership Style (LS) proved to be more effective in directly enhancing Employee Engagement (EE) than through Employee Experience (EX).

Using a quantitative approach, primary data were collected through questionnaires distributed directly to 70 employees of the Serang District Ministry of Religion Office, and the relationships between variables were tested using PLS-SEM version 4.0.
