Abstract

 

This study investigates the influence of product reviews and ratings on consumer purchasing decisions on the Shopee platform in Jember. Using a quantitative approach, an online survey was conducted on 100 randomly selected partisipants, and the data was analyzed using multiple linear regression through SPSS. The analysis results indicate that product reviews have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions (β = 0.361; p < 0.01), while ratings have a greater influence (β = 0.613; p < 0.01). The F-test indicates that both variables simultaneously influence purchasing decisions (F = 85.885; p < 0.001), with an Adjusted R² of 0.632, meaning that 63.2% of the variation in purchasing decisions can be explained by reviews and ratings. These findings suggest that sellers should focus on improving product and service quality and optimizing the review system to enhance online reputation and consumer shopping experience.

2. The Influence of Rating

Variables on Consumer

Purchase Decisions in the

Shopee Marketplace (H2)

The rating variable (X2) also

has a positive and crucial influence on

consumer purchase decisions on the

Shopee marketplace. This can be

seen from the crucial value of the

rating (X2) of 0.00, which is smaller

than the crucial limit of 0.05. In

addition, the t-value of the table is

calculated by the formula t (α/2; n-k-1)

= t (0.025; 97) = 1.98472. Thus, the

calculated t-value obtained is greater

than the table t-value (6.646 >

1.98472), resulting in H0 being

rejected and H2 being accepted. Thus,

it can be partially concluded that

ratings have a crucial effect on

purchase decisions on the Shopee

marketplace.

Test F Results (Simultaneous)

According to Pardede and

Manurung (2014:28), the F test is

used to measure the simultaneous

influence of independent variables on

dependent variables (Y). This test

procedure involves comparing the

calculated F values with the F table. If

the calculated value F is greater than

the F of the table, then the proposed

regression model is considered

feasible or appropriate. In this case,

the F table is calculated using the

formula F = f(k; n-k), where k and n are

the number of variables and the total

sample, respectively, so that for F = (2;

100 – 2), the value of F of the table is 3.09

with a crucial rate of 5%. The results

of the F test can be seen in the

following table 1.3:

According to the findings of the

test shown in the table above, the

calculated F value was 85.885 while

the F value of the table was 3.09.

Therefore, it can be concluded that F

counts are greater than F tables,

which are 85.885 > 3.09. In addition,

the crucial level obtained is 0.00, a

significance value (p-value) that is

smaller than 0.05. Thus, H0 is rejected

and H3 is accepted. This shows that

the product review variables (X1) and

rating (X2) collectively have a crucial

impact on consumer purchase

decisions on the Shopee

marketplace.
