Abstract

The growth of social commerce through TikTok Shop has expanded rapidly and transformed the way traditional e-commerce transactions are conducted. Indonesia, as one of the major markets for TikTok Shop, shows significant potential, making it crucial to understand the factors influencing purchasing decisions, particularly among Generation Z. This study aims to analyze the influence of viral marketing, ease of use, and price discounts on online purchasing choices on TikTok Shop, with a focus on Generation Z in Dusun XI Marindal 1. The method used in this study is quantitative with a survey approach. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and the distribution of questionnaires. Data analysis utilized multiple linear regression following classical assumption tests. The results of the study indicate that the data follow a normal distribution with a significance level of 0.263; there is no multicollinearity, as all tolerance values are above 0.10 and the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) is below 10; and there are no signs of heteroscedasticity. The results of the t-test show that viral marketing, ease of use, and price discounts each have a positive and significant effect on online purchasing decisions. The F-test yielded an F-calculated value of 44.064 with a significance level of 0.000, indicating that the three independent variables collectively have a significant effect on purchasing decisions. The adjusted R-squared value of 0.606 indicates that 60.6% of the variation in purchasing decisions can be explained by viral marketing, ease of use, and price discounts, while the remaining 39.4% is influenced by other factors not included in this study. These findings suggest that enhancing viral marketing strategies, improving app usability, and offering attractive price discounts can drive consumer purchasing decisions on TikTok Shop.
