This study examines the effects of place atmosphere on place attachment and loyalty, considering the mediating role of place image. This study employs a structured questionnaire methodology, dividing the instrument into five sections: place atmosphere, place attachment, cognitive image, affective image, and loyalty, as the basis for questionnaire design. The measurement of each unit within the questionnaire adopts a Likert five-point scale, with 258 valid questionnaires collected from coffee shop customers. The analysis encompassed descriptive statistics, reliability and validity assessments, goodness-of-fit, and hypothesis testing. The empirical findings revealed the following: (1) Place atmosphere positively influences place attachment. (2) Place attachment positively affects place image. (3) Place image had a positive impact on loyalty. (4) Place image acted as a full mediator in the relationship. Furthermore, the study findings reveal that place attachment does not directly impact loyalty, and place image acts as a complete mediator. This differs from the commonly perceived outcomes; hence, managers should emphasize the establishment’s image creation.

This literature review aims (1) to systematically lay out and analyze the literature on consumer engagement and consumer engagement with retail businesses, (2) to identify the possible antecedents of consumer engagement, and (3) to analyze the context of studies, trends in methodologies, and conceptual frameworks and thus provide the future agendas for consumer engagement with retail businesses. This review uses a systematic literature review (SLR) method. The research articles published in Scopus-indexed journals between 2008 and 2022 were downloaded from the Google Scholar database using a systematic search strategy. The key antecedents of consumer engagement included attitudes towards brands, brand interactivity, brand intimacy, consumer involvement, customer participation, customer perceived value, peer communication, personality traits of consumers, self-brand image congruity, perceived service quality, social media marketing efforts of retail brands, and subjective norms. Though only a few reviewed articles had explicit conceptual frameworks, researchers performed an in-depth analysis of conceptual frameworks underpinning the research. This framework-based review uniquely analyzes the antecedents (Independent Variables) and mediating variables of consumer engagement (Dependent Variable) with retail businesses.

The exploration of Islamic management holds significant scholarly value as it can enhance comprehension and scholarship regarding management methodologies aligned with Islamic values. This study analyzes and presents a visual representation of the progression of scholarly papers about Islamic management. This study is based on research on Islamic management in the Scopus-indexed database from 1971- 2022. We analyze this discipline's publication trends, co-authorship networks, and bibliographic coupling using advanced tools like VOS Viewer and R Studio. This study only considers databases indexed by Scopus, ignoring other reputable international indexers. We found that Islamic management studies focus on three areas: Organization and management as a tool, risk management in Islamic finance, and the effects of ethical management of Islam on conflict resolution. The findings of this study are significant in paving the way for future research and providing projections on areas that need a more significant portion of accelerated development. Decision-makers can utilize this research to implement innovative and sustainable strategies. Additionally, researchers can use this article as a guide to understand future research developments and orientations in Islamic management.

The rapid advancement of e-commerce has piqued researchers' interest in identifying the determining factors of online purchase decisions. They have found abundant information about the influence of consumer attitudes but still have divergent results, indicating a gap in studies with mediating variables. The study aims to examine the mediating effect of the opinions of friends and reference groups on the relationships between consumer attitudes and online purchase decisions. The study surveyed 654 respondents and analyzed the data using partial least squares structural equations (PLS-SEM). The results show that consumers' attitudes significantly positively influence their online purchase decisions, which are mediated by the opinions of friends and influence groups. The opinions or recommendations of friends or other reference groups with similar purchasing experiences influence consumers. The research establishes a connection between constructs that influence online purchase decisions, with the main theoretical contribution being the analysis of the effect of friends' opinions and reference groups on generating a better consumer predisposition to make decisions in the virtual environment. The empirical contribution offers information that marketing managers should consider based on the results achieved, proposing strategies focused on reference groups that facilitate consumer decision-making.

Industry practitioners and academic researchers have accorded social media influencer marketing considerable attention. Marketing professionals must identify potential social media influencers as endorsers. A well-known social media influencer is not always a good endorser. The popularity of social media influencers does not imply their influence on their followers. In this paper, we present a survey of the influence power of social media influencers based on their followers' attitudes toward trustworthiness, expertise, likability, social attractiveness, physical attractiveness, opinion leadership, enjoyability, similarity, interactivity, identification, fitness, originality, informativeness, entertainment, and self-serving. We gathered 4,919 responses to a user survey regarding the influence of Taiwan's leading social media influencers. Based on the survey results, we categorized social media influencers into five groups: high-impact influencers, knowledge influencers, entertainers, content creators, and product promoters.
