CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A.Background of the Study
Business is concerning on how to sale things, exchange their goods into money. In the last decades, firms have come to realize that understanding, meeting and anticipating customer needs is probably the most important source of sustained competitive advantage for a firm (Vilares and Coelho, 2003). Offering things that might be needed by their consumer and focus on what the consumer wants then produce it is the only concern of business. Whereas beside selling, offering and giving products to the customer, about how we deliver, communicate our product and last to the consumer and make consumer satisfied with it, is important. That is why delivering our product with a good manner of service is essential in the business. Excellent customer service may indeed be the best answer to encounter the increasing trend of outsourcing. In order to maintain and gain consumer and to sustain the business, we must concern to the service as well.
According to Rudie and Wansley (1985), Thompson, DeSouza and Gale (1985) cited in Parasuraman (1988) that one strategy that has been related to success in these businesses is the delivery of high service quality. Services are (usually) intangible economic activities offered by one party to
(25)
another. Often time-based, services performed bring about desired results to recipients, objects, or other assets for which purchasers have responsibility. In exchange for money, time, and effort, service customers expect value from access to goods, labor, professional skills, facilities, networks, and systems; but they do not normally take ownership of any of the physical elements involved. (Christopher and Wirtz, 2011).
In this tight competition world of business, the way we compete with other is not only by the quality of our products but also the quality of service that we offer to the consumer who wants to buy our products. The fact that the perceived quality of the product is becoming the most important competition factor in business world has been the reason of naming the present business era as “Quality Era” (Peeler (1996) cited in
Mosahab et al. (2010)). Service that satisfied consumer will lead to the consumer loyalty once they know the quality of service a business has. Consumer will feel more comfortable when entering a store with a warm greet from the seller than nothing at all. And a word such ‘thank you and see u again’ or ‘thank you and have a good day’ will affect the mood of consumer after buying an item from a store.
In the study of Dabholkar et al., (1996), service quality measured by five dimensions, name: physical aspects, reliability, personal interaction, problem solving and policy. Brand & Cronin (2001) used three variables service environment, interaction quality, empathy and reliability. Perez et al., (2007) used five dimensions of service quality, such: reliability,
(26)
assurance, responsiveness, empathy and tangibles. Then, these variables used as the variables to explain the dimension that make service quality.
Modernization is one of the impacts of globalization that bring along the life style changes. Everyone uses technology to help doing the daily life activity including buying and selling. As stated by Szymanski and Hise (2000), Devaraj et al. (2002), Anderson and Srinivasan (2003), Ribbink et al. (2004), Shih (2004), Flavian et al. (2006) cited in Sun and Lin (2009) that a number of studies have documented the significant role of website technology factors and service quality in influencing customer e-satisfaction and e-loyalty, concerned with consumers’ psychological state, attitude and behavior, derived from how they feel about their online shopping experiences. Recent research also suggests that customer satisfaction in the online environment is significantly higher than in traditional channels as a result of ease of use in acquiring information (Hernandez et al. (2009), Poddar et al. (2009), Yang et al. (2008), Verhagen and Dolen (2009) cited in Lin and Sun (2009)).
Digital facility become closer to the people daily life. Almost every thing done by the digital technology. Because the technology using is consider more efficient and cheaper. However, the conflict caused to get the market happen. “The growing of daring business in 2013 reach 71% (Rp 18 billion), over Tiongkok that reached 61%” (Kompas, 2015:15). In 2012, an e-commerce company noted that 41% of sale came from Jakarta, but in the last 6-month the number decrease to 22%. This shows that the consumers
(27)
are not only in Jakarta that regularly buying, even consumers outside Jakarta also did to follow the globalization era. Data from the research institution ICD predicted that e-commerce market in Indonesia will grow 42% from 2012-2015. This number is quite higher compare to other countries such as Malaysia (14%), Thailand (22%) and Philipines (28%).
Companies need to avoid the mistake of setting customer expectations too high through exaggerated promotional claims since this can lead to dissatisfaction if performance falls short of expectations (Jobber stated in Mattsson, (2009:12) cited in Azhari (2015).
Lazada is one of few of e-commerce sites in Indonesia. The largest online shopping mall in Southeast Asia, which launched in 2012 selling electronics, health and beauty aids and lifestyle products, Lazada quickly gained a following. The Web site has five million Facebook fans, said Martell Hardenberg, cofounder and fashion category manager. Lazada partners with local delivery companies to ship thousands of orders every day to the five countries it services Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines (Edelson, 2013).
According to Matthew Driver, president of MasterCard for South East Asia regional, Indonesia is one of the country with the biggest growth of e-commerce market in Asia-Pasific. Though, the total of sale in Indonesia still consider low compare to others country, but the growing of it is quite rapid.

Fact About Mobile Phone User In Indonesia
According to a recent Rocket Internet report, Lazada Group clocked around US$1 billion in gross merchandise values as of March. Additionally, it received 5 million total annual customers last year and 5
(29)
million daily visits. The company had 1.6 million unique active product listings (SKUs), 15,000 active selling partners, 58 ;ast mile distribution hubs and 51 logistics partners. Lazada’s total user base grew from 3.9 million at hte end of 2014 to 5.3 million end of Q1 2015.
Online business gives customers a wider product selection, competitive price and most importantly, an easy access to information (Khristianto et al. (2012) cited in Hila Ludin et al. (2014)). Christodoulides and Michaelidou (2011) cited in Hila Ludin et al. (2014) state that online retailers that are able to provide and exchange information via formal or informal platform with the customers would most likely increase the customers' satisfaction and add value to the shopping experience.
Based on this background, the title of the study is “The Influence of Service Quality and Promotion toward Costumers’ Satisfaction”.
B. Problem Definition
The improved market globalization improves the market competition among businesses. Market is increasingly hypercompetitive. Giving a good service means to gain competitive advantages.

CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Theory Development
The review will start with the understanding of service quality and customer satisfaction. In the next step this literature review intends to elaborate a critical evaluation of the influence of service quality and promotion toward customer satisfaction.
1. Consumer Behavior
Consumer is defined as someone who acquires goods or services for direct use or ownership rather than for resale or use in production and manufacturing (Ajibola & Njogo, 2012). There are some powers that consumers have. One of the present fundamental presumptions for the consumer behavior is the fact, that people often buy products not because of their main function but for their main subjectively perceived value. It does not mean that product’s basic functions is not important, but that’s the today’s roleof products exceeds its service limits (Salomon, 2004).
Consumerbehavior attitudes enable better understanding and forecasting, not only of the subject ofpurchases but also of purchasing motives and purchasing frequency (Schiffman, Kanuk 2004).In planning marketing programs, the marketer should identify with the requirements of individuals and groups in it mix - product, price, place and promotions as against reliance on culture, social prevalence and class-based orientation.
(33)
2. Purchase Decision Process
Decision making is painful (Pfister, 2003). It requires effortful processing of available information to reach a suitable judgement. Thus, consumers may rely on inferences to make a choice. Family members play an important role in the unit of analysis in consumer purchase decision-making is well established (Xia et al, 2006). There are many previous studies that illustrated the purchase decision making from the view point of family e.g. (Xia et al, 2006), while the others facused on the subject from the view point of the couple (Frikha, 2010). Sallam (2014) defines purhcase decision making as process by which (1) consumers identify their needs, (2) collect information, (3) evaluate alternatives and (4) make the purchase decision. These actions are determined by psychological and economical factors, and influences by the environmental factors such as cultural, group and social values (Xia et al., 2006).
Picture 2.1
(34)
3. Customers Satisfaction
Satisfaction is a post-activity measuring index that measures the interior state of thecustomer’s feelings about past purchases and experiences of shopping. Measuring the degree of satisfaction of customers is rather critical since satisfaction with the distribution service influences the customer’s decision whether to continue using thechannel. Oliver (1997)cited inSun & Lin (2009) described customer satisfaction as the summary psychologicalstate resulting when the emotion surrounding disconfirmed expectations is coupled with a customer’s prior feeling about the customer experience. Szymanski and Hise (2000) cited in Sun & Lin (2009) contended that consumer perceptions of online convenience, merchandising (product offerings and product information), site design and financial security play important roles in e-satisfaction assessments.
Oliver (1997, p. 233) cited in Sun & Lin (2009) defined customer loyalty as “a deeply held commitment to rebuy or patronize a preferred product/service consistently in the future, thereby causing repetitive same-brand or same same-brand-set purchasing, despite situational influences and marketing efforts having the potential to cause switching behavior”.
This definition has been used extensively in related research on e-loyalty. Anderson and Srinivasan (2003, p. 417) cited in Sun & Lin (2009) identified e-loyalty as “a customer’s favorable attitude toward an electronic business resulting in repeat buying behavior”. Furthermore, they investigated the impact of satisfaction on loyalty in the context of electronic
(35)
commerce. They concluded that although satisfaction has an impact on e-loyalty, this relationship is moderated by consumers’ individual level factors and firms’ business level factors. Among consumer level factors, convenience motivation and purchase sizewere found to accentuate the impact of e-satisfaction on e-loyalty, whereas inertia was found to suppress the impact of e-satisfaction on e-loyalty. With respect to business level factors, both trust and perceived value, as developed by the company, were found to significantly accentuate the impact of e-satisfaction on e-loyalty.
As determined by Kotler (2008:136), customer satisfaction is a person’s feelings of pleasure or disappointment that result from comparing a product’s perceived performance (or outcomes) to their expectations. Satisfaction can be associated with feeling of acceptance, happiness, relief, and delight (Hoyer, 2005:98). Customer satisfaction is a pleasurable fulfillment response while dissatisfaction is an un pleasurable one (Buttle, 2004).
Customer satisfaction is defined as a customer’s overall evaluation of the performance of an offering to data. This overall satisfaction has strong positive effect on customer loyalty intentions across a wide range of product and service categories (Gustafson, 2005).
Mittal & Kamakura (2001) cited in Mosahabet al., (2010) defines that customer satisfaction is a key factor in formation of customer’s desires for future purchase. Furthermore, the satisfied customers will probably talk to others about their good experiences. This fact,especially in the Middle
(36)
Eastern cultures, where the social life has been shaped in a way that socialcommunication with other people enhances the society, is more important (Jamal &Naser, 2002).
Although satisfaction has been defined as the difference between expectation and performance, but there are differences between quality and satisfaction. For example, Parasuraman et al. (1991) say that satisfaction is a decision made after experience while quality is not the same. On the other hand, in satisfaction literature, expectations for goodsis “would”, while in service quality literature, expectations for goods is “should”.
Cadotte & Turgeon (1988) cited in Mosahabet al. (2010) have introduced another group of factors known as neutral factors. Besides, Liljander & Strandvik (1993) say that experience is not needed for evaluating service quality, and service can be evaluated on the basis of the knowledge about service provider, while satisfaction is an inner view, resulted from customer’s own experience from the service.
The conducted research by Irawan cited in Amri (2009:24), Marketing and Research consultant from Frontier says there are five primary drivers of customer satisfaction:
a. Product quality.
Consumer satisfied after buying and using the product, where actually the product is fine. This product quality is globally dimensions at least elements from product quality: performance, durability, feature, reliability, consistency, and design.
(37)
b. Price.
For sensitive consumer usually low price is an important source of satisfaction because they will get satisfaction of high value of money. This price component is not important for those who are not sensitive toward price.
c. Service quality.
Service quality always depends on three things: system, technology, and people.
d. Emotion.
The feeling of product, confident, symbol of successes are example of emotion value that serves as a basic for customer satisfaction.
According to Peter (2007: 181) service quality and customer satisfaction is growing concern to business organizations throughout the world, and research on these topic generally focuses on two key issues, understanding the expectations and requirements of the customer and determining how well a company and its major competitors are succeeding in satisfying these expectation and requirements.
4. Marketing Mix
According to Lovelock et al (2005:25-26), there are seven elements of service marketing mix, referred to as 7Ps of service marketing, represent a set of interrelated decision variables facing managers of service organizations.
(38)
a. Product Elements
Managers must select the features of both the core product (either agood or service) and the bundle of supplementary service elements surrounding it, with reference to the benefits desired by customers and how well competing products perform. In short, we need to be attentive to all aspects of the service performance that have the potential to create value for customers.
b. Place and Time
Delivering product elements to customers involves decisions on the place and time of delivery, as well as the methods and channels employed. Delivery may involve physical or electronic distribution channels (or both), depending on the nature of the service being provided.
c. Promotion and Education
No marketing program can succeed without effective communication. This component plays three vital roles: providing needed information and advice, persuading target customers of the merits of a specific product, and encouraging them to take action at specific times. In service marketing, there is so much communication id educational in nature, especially for new customers. Companies may need to teach these customers about the benefits of the service,
(39)
where and when to obtain it, and provide instructions on how to participate in service processes.
d. Price and Other Cost of Service
This component addresses management of the costs incurred by customers in obtaining benefits from the service products. Service managers not only set the selling price, trade margins, and establish credit terms; they also seek to minimize, where possible, other costs that customers may bear in purchasing and using a service, like related costs (e.g., travel expenses), time, and mental and physical effort. e. Physical Environment
The appearance of buildings, landscaping, vehicles, interior furnishing, equipment, staff members, signs, printed materials, and other visible cues all provide tangible evidence of a firm’s service quality.
f. Process
Creating and delivering product elements to customers require the design and implementation of effective processes. A process is the method and sequence of actions in the service performance. Badly designed processes like slow, bureaucratic, and ineffective service delivery, commonly annoy customers.
(40)
g. People
Many services depend on direct interaction between customers and afirm’s employees (like getting a haircut or talking to a call centerstaff). The nature of these interactions strongly influences thecustomer’s perceptions of service quality.
5. Service Quality
According to Kotler (2008:225), a service is any activity of benefit that one party can offer to another that is essentially intangible and does not result in the ownership of anything. Its production may or may not be tied to a physical product. A service is a time-perishable experience performed for a customer acting in the role of co-producer (Fitzsimmons, 2007:4).
The fact that the perceived quality of a product is becoming the most important competition factor in business world has been the reason of naming the present business era as “Quality Era” (Peeler (1996) cited in
Mosahabet al. (2010)). Avkiran (1994) has introduced a model consisting of four dimensions (personnel’s contact, reliability, communication, access to services), and seventeen components. Othman & Own (2001) have offered a model called CARTER, consisting of Complaint, Assurance, Reliability, Tangibles, Empathy and Responsiveness which includes 34 components.
Rahman & Miazee (2010) stated that the relationship betweenservice quality variables and customer satisfaction of online
(41)
shoppers can be shown infigure 2.1. The five e-service quality dimensions have been selected from the E-SERVQUAL model. E-SERVQUAL measures website E-SQ (Service Quality) asperceived by customers. It is a method for measuring website E-SQ that is based on thesame principle as the original SERVQUAL method and includes some dimensions similar to those of SERVQUAL. The E-SERVQUAL scale contains a core and recovery scale, represented by four and three dimensions respectively (Zeithaml, Parasuraman, and Malhotra; 2000, 2002 cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010)). Core scale is used to measure the customer’s perceptions of service quality delivered by online retailers. Recovery scale refers to specific situations, when a customer has a question or runs into a problem, in which the three dimensions of the recovery scale become silent. In simpler terms, it can be said that core scale refers to the quality of the website itself, while the recovery scale is more concerned with the actual performance of the company, rather than with website performance.
Rahman & Miazee believe that E-SERVQUAL is helpful for thier study because this scale has been widely used by academic and practitioners to measure online service quality. Therefore, this model has been used as a point of reference in their study (thesis).
(42)
Figure 2.1
Relationship between E-Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction based on E-SERVQUAL
Source: E-Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction, 2010 a. Efficiency
Efficiency defines as customer’s ability to effectively access the website, find their desired product and related information and check it out with minimal effort (Zeithamlet al. (2002) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010)). Efficiency refers to the speed of downloading, searching and navigation (Jessica(2003) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010)). There was complete agreement among respondents about the need forefficient service that is, fast downloading, fast loading of page and images and speedy search mechanisms. Although service providers often blame the specifications of the hardware in the consumer’s possession for inefficiency, providers can increase efficiency, even if consumers have
(43)
low-speed PCs, by reducing the number of complicated graphics (any given page contains few graphics and these are appropriateto page content, graphics are not essential to site use. If graphics are turned off or atext-only client is used, the site remain fully functional) and by using interlacing.
b. Fulfillment
Fulfillment refers to a company’s actual performance in contrast with what is promised through the website, and incorporates accuracy of service promises, such as having products in stock and timely delivery (Cristian, &Iulian (2007) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010)). Online marketers canuse trust to lessen the effects of perceived performance risk and subsequent financialrisk through lack of fulfillment. Customers need to be able to trust that their order will be fulfilled: that is, delivered in the case of physical goods or available to experience in the case of services. As Siyal and Barkat (2002) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010) put it, the risk is to pay for something and get unexpected goods or nothing delivered. Financial risk is avoided if the productis satisfactory and a customer’s financial details are not abused. Ha (2004) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010) suggests that marketers should give better information in their websites, rather than more. The result should be that customers are better informed about when they can expect their order tobe processed and are given any other relevant information about the fulfillment of the transaction, which helps to develop trust in fulfillment. Efficiency in fulfillment of the order reduces the amount of time spent by the customer in
(44)
chasing delivery or querying the progress of the order. Likewise, if the right product is provided, it saves the customer time in searching for an alternative elsewhere.
c. Reliability
Reliability is a technical function of the website such as the extent to which it is available and functioning properly (Cristian & Iulian (2007)
cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010)). Scholar (Jessica (2003) cited in
Rahman & Miazee (2010)) said “reliability refers to the ability to perform the promised service accuracy and consistently, including frequency of updating the website, prompt reply to customer enquiries and accuracy of online purchasing and billing”. This findings is consistentwith the view of Parasuraman et al (1998) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010), he stated that reliability is the mostimportant dimension in all services. Focus group participants repeatedly emphasized frustration that many websites do not update frequently. In contrast, websites providing up-to-date information received high appraisals. Moreover, Reliability involves consistency of performance and dependability. It means that the firm performs the service right the first time. It also means the firm honors its promises. Especially it involves: accuracy in billing, keeping records correctly, performing the service at the designated time (Berry et al. (1985) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010)).
d. Privacy
(45)
data are not shared and that credit card information is secured (Zeithaml (2002) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010)). The construct of privacy refers to companies not sharing information with third parties unless the customer gives permission. It also includes the security of sensitive information between the customer and the company (Hoffman, Novak & Peralta (1999); Wolfinbarger & Gilly (2002) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010)). Inaddition, this includes providing visual symbols, so customers know a secure connection is being achieved. Lessig (1999) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010) mentioned that as the number of consumer’s purchases through the internet increases, electronic vendors canincreasingly obtain online buyer’s private information such as demographic profiles or consumer shopping behavior which can be passed on to third parties. However, Shapiro (2000) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010) argued that many successful online service providers have customized their services and redesigned the offered products to match individual customers’ needs identified through the customer’s personal information. Shapiro also found that privacy problems can be solved from the interaction of law, code of conduct and markets which can strengthen the existing regulations about compliance of online service providers to their own privacy policy as specified on their websites, letting consumers have control over their personal information for their own benefits such as money, goods or services.
(46)
e. Responsiveness
Responsiveness measures the ability of a company to provide appropriate information to customers when a problem occurs, have mechanism for handling returns and providing online guarantees (Zeithaml (2002) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010). The ability to prompt provides service;examples of responsiveness include calling the customer back quickly, serving lunch fast to someone who is in a hurry or mailing a transaction slip immediately (Lamb, Hair, McDaniel, (2009) cited in
Rahman & Miazee (2010). Accordingly, Watson et al. (1998) cited in
Rahman & Miazee (2010) referred to responsiveness as willingness to help customers and it can be measured by the time taken before replying to customer’s inquiries. As suggested by Dubbs (2001)cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010), responsiveness is enhanced when the site provides flexible return and exchange policies that will encourage customers to make online purchases since it reduces the perceived risk associated withthe purchase. Liao & Cheung (2002) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010), customers expect online stores to respond to their inquiries promptly. In sum, previous researchers found that responsiveness of web-based services have highlighted the importance of perceived service quality and customer satisfaction (Yang & Jun (2002); Zhu et al.(2002) cited in Rahman & Miazee (2010)).
6. Promotion
(47)
through promotion, companies communicate with customers tomake them aware of the existence of companies products and services to that they interest to visit and make purchase.
According to Cheney et al. (2015) that most owners used some form of social media or electronic communication, but owners varied widely in how often they utilized social media orhow well it was integrated into other marketing strategies. Facebook was the primary method owners used to communicate with customers. It was an easy way for them to quickly post specials, feature new e-liquid “juice” flavors, and post pictures of newly arrived products: We typically do weekly specials and then we’llthrow in those specials with them just a way for if people, if they keep up with our Facebook, theyare rewarded for it basically.
Picture 2.2 Types of Advertising
(48)
According to Sullivan & Adcock (stated in Japarianto and Djati,2011:5), retail promotion is the activity of the company in order to attract visitors and obtain information on how many the consumers. The retail promotion mix elements are as follows:
a. Sales Promotion
Sales Promotion, are special incentives or excitement-building program that encourage consumers to purchase a particular product or service (Levy and Weitz (2012) cited in Azhari (2015)).
b. Advertising
Advertising is part of the promotional mix, simply advertising is defined as a message that offers a product aimed at the public through a medium. (Kasali(2007:9) cited in Azhari (2015)). B. Previous Research
This literature review tries to find out the research that already conducted in this field and to what this thesis contribute. The following researches have already been conducted in this field:

The research demonstrates that significant gaps exist in both the academic and trade literature with regard to effective customer satisfaction measurement of business-to-business exchanges. As with the pioneering literature from the early 1980s noting the issues of evaluating service rather than product quality, the unique challenges in assessing business-to-business relationships must be addressed separately from business-to-consumer interactions. The model presented here, rooted in existing knowledge of organizational behavior and customer satisfaction processes, and provides a practical framework for managers in evaluating the strength of their customer relationships.

Factors Influencing Satisfaction and Loyalty in Online
Shopping: An Integrated Model
This paper aims to explore how internet customer satisfaction and loyalty can be associated with each other and how they are affected by these dynamics. The method used in this research was structural equation modeling (SEM) as the main analytical tool. The research results point to the following: first, customer e-satisfaction will positively influence customer e-loyalty directly; second, technology acceptance factors will positively influence customer e-satisfaction and e-loyalty directly; third, website service quality can positively influence customer satisfaction and e-loyalty directly; and fourth, specific holdup cost can positively influence customer e-loyalty directly, but cannot positively influence customer e-satisfaction directly.

loyalty. The result of this research shows that in all aspects, customers’ expectation is higher than their perceptions of the Bank’s operation, and in fact the quality of offered services is low. Besides, this research findings show that the customer satisfaction plays the role of a mediator in theeffects of service quality on service loyalty. In fact, findings of this research show that although in all fivefold dimensions of service quality Sepah Bank’s performance has been higher than average limit, but its service quality does not satisfy customers’ expectations. In addition, findings of this research show that there is a positive and meaningful relation among all fivefold dimensions of service quality with satisfaction and loyalty, which in both cases assurance and tangibles have the most and the least relation with satisfaction and loyalty. In other words, it sees that tangibles can be considered as health factors, and assurance as

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY A. Scope of Research
This research is empirical study of research testing to prove the influence of service quality and promotion toward customers’ satisfaction. Scopes of research for this study are as follows:
1. The focus of the author in this study is the influence of service quality and promotion toward customers’ satisfaction.
2. The location and the objects to be examined are the customers of Lazada that located in www.lazada.co.id period June 2015. 3. For the purpose of the study, researcher employs customers’
satisfaction (Y) and service quality (X1) and promotion (X2). B. Sampling Method
1. Population
The population of this study covers the customers of Lazada Indonesia in the fashion segment. The reason why researcher chooses this population because the researcher wants to know the influence of service quality and promotion toward customers’ satisfaction of Lazada Indonesia.
A population is the aggregate of all the elements that share some common set of characteristics and that comprise the universe for the purpose of marketing research problem, (Maholtra, 2004: 314). Population is the generalization which consists of object and subject of a certain quantity and characteristics applied by researchers to learn and then drawn
(58)
the conclusion Population is subject or object which have certain qualities and characteristics are determined by researcher. Thus, the population is not only people but also objects or other natural objects. Population also not only quantity, but includes all of characteristics’ subject or object (Sugiyono, 2011:80).
2. Sample
Samples are selected using non probability convenience sampling by means of sample units drawn easily be reached anywhere and anytime, is not troublesome to measure and cooperative (Hamid, 2007: 30).
Sample is a subject of the population that should represent that entire group. Or the sample is a subset of the population, and the sample unit pertains to the basic level of investigation (Burns, 2005: 334). A sample is a member of the selected population using a specific procedure that is expected to represent its population (Sugiyono, 2007:57).
Sample is a subgroup of the elements of the population selected for participation in the study (Maholtra, 2009:373). According to Cooper (2007:204) convenience sampling is non probability sampling where researcher use any radial available individuals as participants.
The researcher takes 100 samples respondent, because according to Sugiyono (2010:74) guidelines to determining sample are as follows :
a. Sample size should be between 30-500 elements.
b. In the multivariate research (multiple linear regressions) the sample size should be several times larger (10 times) than the
(59)
number of variables to be analyzed.
c. A simple experiment for research, with strict controls, sample size between 10-20 elements.
C. Data Collection Method 1. Data Type
Data collection methods used in this study is as follows: a. Primary Data
Primary data are originated by a researcher for the specific purposes of addressing the problem at hand (Malhotra, 2004: 102).
Primary data was collected through Questioner. According to Malhotra (2004:280) Questioner is a structured techniques for data collection that consist of a series of questions, written or verbal, that a respondent answers. Questioner method is technique data collections that had been done with give a set of questions or written statement to the respondent to be answered (Sugiyono, 2009:199).
This study used a likert scale that is consists of five level. Likert scale is widely used a rating scale that requires the respondents to indicate agreement and disagreement with each of a series statement about the stimulus objects. Typically, each scale item has five response categories, ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree” (Maholtra, 2004:258).
Likert scale is to measure attitude, opinion, and perceptions of individuals or groups social phenomena (Riduwan and Engkos, 2008:20).
(60)
The Likert Scale of five levels to express the attitude of the respondents’ answer is as follows:
Table 3.1
Likert Scale of Five Levels (Malhotra, 2004:258)
No Range Weight
1 Strongly Agree (SA) 5
2 Agree (A) 4
3 Neutral (N) 3
4 Disagree (D) 2
5 Strongly Disagree (SD) 1
b. Secondary Data
Secondary data is data that is not cultivated himself was collected by researchers. Secondary data in this study are obtained from the literatures books, scientific journals, Internet and mass media research reports associated with this research. Secondary data is the result of studies done by others and for different purpose than the one for which the data are being reviewed (Cooper, 2006:89).
According to Malhotra (2004:37) data is collected for some purpose other than the problem at hand. In the development of this study research, techniques of taking secondary data will be used are:
1) Library Study, done for collecting the data with information through reference books, journals, and other information which suitable according to this study.
(61)
company.
2. Collecting Data Method
Data used in this study are primary data. Primary data is data obtained directly from the source first. Data collection is done by:
a. Questionnaire
Questionnaire is a formalized set of questions for obtaining information for respondents. It has three specific objectives (Maholtra, 2009:330).
Three specific objectives (Maholtra, 2009:330)
a. The overriding objective is to translate the researcher’s information needs into a set of specific questions that respondents are willing and able to answer.
b. A questionnaire should be written to minimize demands imposed on respondents. It should encourage them to participate in the entire interview, without biasing their responses.
c. A questionnaire should minimize response error. These errors can arise from respondents who give inaccurate answers or from researchers incorrectly recording or analyzing their answers. Questionnaire method is a method to obtain data by providing a list of questions that will be filled by respondents including questions about the variable service quality of Lazada Indonesia to determine the extent to which it these things affect customer satisfaction of Lazada Indonesia.
(62)
D. Data Quality Test 1. Validity Test
Validity is a characteristic of measurement concerned with the extent that a test measures what the researcher actually wishes tool reflect true differences among participants drawn from a population (Cooper, 2006:765). According to Ghozali (2005:45) the validity of this research is used to measure the legality of a questionnaire. Test validity used to measure the legal valid or invalid of a questionnaire. A questionnaire is said valid if the questions on the questionnaire are able to reveal something that will be on the questionnaire measure. The total score on test validity said valid if the number of scores > 0.30 (Sugiono, 2007:178).
2. Reliability Test
Reliability is a characteristic of measurement concerned with accuracy, precision, and consistency; a necessary but not sufficient condition for validity (if the measure is not reliable, it cannot be valid). Reliability is concerned with estimates of the degree to which a measurement is free a random or unstable error (Donald Cooper, 2006:352).
Reliability refers to the extent to which a scale produces consistent results if repeated measurements are made. Therefore, reliability can be defined as the extent to which measures are free from random error (Maholtra, 2006: 273).
(63)
E. Classic Assumption 1. Normality Test
Normality test aims to test whether the regression model, the dependent variable (customer satisfaction) and independent variables (service quality (X1), and promotion (X2)) both have a normal distribution or not. If the distribution of the residual values cannot be considered to be normally distributed, then it is said there are problems with the normality assumption.
According Ghozali (2006: 149), the principle of normality can be detected by looking at the spread of the data (dots) on the diagonal axis of the graph probability plots or by looking at the histogram of the residual.
Basis for decision making as follows:
a. Detection of the histogram, if the normal curves in the graph follow a bell shape, then the data are normally distributed. b. While the detection of the normal probability plot on the
graph, if the data (dots) spread around the diagonal line, and follow the direction of the diagonal line, then the regression model to meet the assumption of normality. If the spread of the data (points) do not follow the direction of the diagonal, then the regression model did not meet the assumption of normality. This statistical test that can be used to test the normality of the residuals is a statistical test of non - parametric Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) (Ghozali, 2006: 151).
(64)
Basis for decision making, when the value of the Kolmogorov Smirnov significance greater than 0.05, it can be said to be normally distributed data. If the value of the significance of the KS test is smaller than 0.05, it can be said the data was not normally distributed.
2. Multicollinearity Test
According to Ghozali (2006:95), multicollinearity test aims to test whether the regression model found a correlation among the independent variables (service quality (X1), promotion (X2)). Good regression model should not happen correlation between the independent variables (service quality and promotion), If among the independent variables correlated with each other, then these variables are not orthogonal. To detect the presence or absence of multicollinearity among the independent variables in regression model, it can be seen from Tolerance and VIF value. Cutoff value commonly used to indicate whether there is multicollinearity or not is Tolerance value ≤0.10 or equal to VIFvalue ≥10.
3. Heteroscedascity Test
Heteroscedasticity test aims to test whether the regression model of the residual variance occurs inequality an observation to other observations. If the variance of the residuals one observations to other observations stable, it is called different homoskedastisitas and if it is different called heteroscedasticity. Good regression models is that happened homoskedastisitas or did not happen heteroscedasticity (Santoso: 2012:
(65)
238).
a. Looking at the scatterplot graph, if forming certain patterns, such as dots form a certain pattern regularly (wavy, widened then narrowed), then heteroscedasticity indicates has occurred. If there is no clear pattern, and the points spread above and below the 0 on the Y axis, then there is no heteroscedasticity (Santoso, 2012: 240).
b. Glejser Test
Glejser test is done with the regressed absolute value of residuals against the independent variables (service quality (X1), and promotion (X2)). Guideline from glejser test are looking at the significance level of each independent variable (service quality (X1), and promotion (X2)) on the dependent variable (customer satisfaction). If the significance level yield number > 0.05, it can be said regression model does not contain any heteroscedasticity. (Ghozali, 2006: 129).
F. Hypothesis Test
1. Simultaneous test ( F – Test )
According to Sarwono (2007:29) cited in Akbar (2014) F-test is used to see the influence of exogenous variable to endogenous variable simultaneously. The criteria for testing the significant level is 5% or 0.05. Step to examine the hypothesis with F-test are as follow:
(66)
b. Calculate the F table with the criteria significant level is 0.05 c. Determine the criteria of hypothesis test as follows :
1) If Ftest> Ftable, H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, it means exogenous variable has significant influence to endogenous variable simultaneously
2) If Ftest<Ftable , H0 is accepted and H1 is rejected, it means exogenous variable doesn’t have significant influence to endogenous variable simultaneously.
2. Partial test ( t – Test )
The t-test was conducted to test each independent variable (X) to the dependent variable (Y), which is conducted to determine how much each variable consumer dissatisfaction, the characteristics of the product category, and variety seeking influence on brand switching (brand switching). Test steps are as follows (Ghozali, 2011: 98):
a. Determining Hypothesis Formulation
1) Ho: bi = 0. That is, there is no influence of each independent variable (X) partially on the dependent variable (Y).
2) Ha: bi ≠ 0. That is, there is the influence of each independent variable (X) partially on the dependent variable (Y).
b. Determining the degree of probability of 95% or the 0.05 two-way (Two-tail).
(67)
1) Quick look: if the value of t > 2 (in absolute value), then Ho is rejected and Ha accepted.
2) If the value of t < 2 (in absolute value), then Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected.
G. Multiple Linier Regression Analysis
According to Malhotra (2004:502), the regression analysis is a statistical procedure to analyze the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables. If there are two or more independent variables then using multiple linear regression analysis. Thus it can be seen how big the independent variables influence on the dependent variable.
According to Malhotra (2004:512) formulas that can be used as a multiple linear regression analysis calculation is as follows:
Y = a + b1X1 + b2X2 + e Description:
Y = customer satisfaction (dependent) a = constanta
X1 = service quality (independent) X2 = promotion (independent) b1 = regression coefficient of X1 b2 = regression coefficient of X2 e = error
(68)
H. The Coefficient of Determination (r2)
According to Ghozali (2006:202) cited in Akbar (2014) the coefficient of determination (�2) essentially measure how far the ability of models to explain variation in the dependent variable. The value of determination coefficient is between zero and one. The small means that the ability of independent variables in explaining variations in the dependent variable is very limited.
Basic weaknesses use the coefficient of determination is based on the number of independent variables entered into the model. Each additional one independent variable, then R2 would increase, no matter whether these variables affect the dependent variable is not. Therefore, in this research used is the R square that have been adapted or adjusted R2 as adjusted for the variables used in this research. Adjusted R2 value can rise or fail if an independent variable added into the model.
I. Research Variable Operation Variable in this research consist of:
1. Independent variable
According to Cooper (2007:155), independent variable is the variable manipulated by the researcher, thereby causing an effect or change on the dependent variable. In this research as independent variables are service quality (X1) and promotion (X2).
2. Dependent variable
(69)
measured predicted, or otherwise monitored by researcher, expected to be affected by manipulation of independent variable. In this Research as the dependent variable is customers’ satisfaction (Y).

Fashion is the next frontier for Lazada.
The largest online shopping mall in Southeast Asia, which launched in 2012 selling electronics, health and beauty aids and lifestyle products, Lazada quickly gained a following. The Web site has five million Facebook fans, said Martell Hardenberg, cofounder and fashion category manager.
Lazada is a marketplace that acts as a platform "to give large brands an opportunity to extend their reach, especially in non-metro areas where there is no retail infrastructure," Hardenberg said. "We started with fashion recently so there are a couple if brands in the pipeline. Building a category like fashion won't take very much time." The site charges brands a commission based on sales. "It's a partnership for us," he said.
Hardenberg said the assortment is divided evenly between large global brands and homegrown local designers. Lazada sells Esprit, Timberland, Ray-Ban, Crocs, Moschino and Wacoal, among other labels. "Local designers sell very well and I see great potential in Indonesia," Hardenberg said, adding that he wants to introduce Indonesian designers to other countries such as Malaysia and the Philippines. "We have this amazing network and an opportunity to promote brands outside the country," he said. "They have great designs but don't have marketing budgets." Two local designers sold on Lazada participated in Jakarta Fashion Week, he said.

Lazada offers a variety of categories to appeal to many income brackets. "We have customers that can do high baskets, but the focus has been on the medium- to low-price level, mass-market brands," Hardenberg said. "We're going to test the premium sector."
Hardenberg is looking at China and believes the platform offers brands a way to overcome the lack of retail infrastructure in that country.
Lazada two months ago launched an Android app that got more than 100,000 downloads in the first two weeks. The company is also working on giving international brands their own shops-in-shop on the site. "We're helping them provide their own look and feel," he said. "In the Philippines, we started working on a shop-in-shop with Nike."

B. Analysis and Discussion 1. Data Quality Test
a. Validity Test
According to Ghozali (2006:49) the validity test is used to measure the validity of a Qustionnaire. A questionnaire is valid if the questions on the questionnaire is able to reveal something that will be on the questionnaire measure. The total score on test validity said valid if the number of scores > 0.30 (Sugiono, 2007:178).
The questionnaire is divided into three main parts, those are customers’ satisfaction (Y) and service quality (X1) and promotion (X2). So, the number of statements in this questionnaire as many as 26 questions with a total of 100 respondents. Before the questionnaire was given to 100 respondents, authors try to assess the validity and reliability of all such question by spread the try out to 20 respondents.
