CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND
A. Research Background
In the era of modernization today many businesses began to develop
businesses that are managed off-line start towards online. It was done by
businesses to achieve effectiveness and efficiency to consumers in enjoying the

number of Internet users in Indonesia amounted to 88.1 million, the figure rose
from 71.2 million in the previous year. Based on these data, it can be concluded
that the Indonesian people are already aware of the internet. (www.apjii.or.id).
According to Laudon and Laudon (2000), there are six reasons why the
Internet is so popular technology. The sixth reason is to have internet connectivity
and a wide range, can reduce communication costs, lower transaction costs, can
reduce agency costs, interactive, flexible and convenient, and has the ability to
distribute knowledge quickly.
Based on the data obtained from APJII, the internet is now a potential
business opportunity. A wide variety of activities can be done via the Internet as a
transaction of goods and services. One such business is the online travel agent.
2
Many travel agencies that provide services purchasing air tickets with a
variety of routes online through a website or application-based. Similarly, one of
the travel agencies that is currently popular in Indonesia, namely traveloka.com.
Traveloka.com Internet Company engaged to provide services online travel agent,
pioneered began in March 2012.
The premiere of Traveloka not smoothly without any hitch. As a small startup
which pioneered a new, almost no airline would cooperate with Traveloka.
However, the team Traveloka that only eight people have never been discouraged
in developing a business and eventually Traveloka released in 2012 and can thrive
and work closely with a number of Indonesian airlines According to the Alexa

Based on research conducted by alexa.com, online travel agent sites
Traveloka ranks 92 where the rating is a top-ranked competitors. It shows
traveloka brand image is still ahead in the appeal of its competitors.
According to Parasuraman et al (2005) E-service quality is defined as the
extent to which the web site facilitates the shopper, purchase and delivery of
efficient and effective manner. Consumers can conduct transactions without face-
to-face with service providers. E-service quality can be a strategy of the company
as it is considered to have a competitive advantage.
Kotler & Keller (2012:150), “Satisfaction is a person’s feelings of pleasure or
disappointment that result from comparing a product’s perceived performance or
outcome to expectations. If the performance falls short of expectations, the
outcome is dissatisfied. If it matches expectations, the customer is satisfied or
delighted". Based on this theory, the service provided to consumers must be in
accordance with what is desired to avoid customer dissatisfaction.
The emergences of website traveloka.com recommend the lowest price
compared to airline ticket sales agent online competitors. The cheapest price is
one of them due Traveloka not distinguish between transaction costs on
consumers so consumers only pay the ticket in the message.

CHAPTER II
LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Consumer Behavior
1. Definition Consumer Behavior
Consumer behavior essentially to understand why consumers do and what
they do. Schiffman and Kanuk (2008:6) argue that studies consumer behavior
is the study of how an individual makes the decision to allocate the available
resources (time, money, effort, and energy). Consumers have a diversity of
interesting to study because it includes all individuals of all ages, cultural
backgrounds, education, and other socio-economic circumstances. Therefore,
it is important to learn how consumers behave and what factors are
influencing the behavior.
Define consumer behavior according to Kotler and Keller (2012):
Consumer behavior is the study of how individuals, groups and organizations
select, purchase, use and dispose of goods services, ideas or experiences to
satisfy their wants and needs.
Definition of consumer behavior according to Schiffman and Kanuk (2008:
6): The consumer behavior describes how individuals make the decision to
utilize their available resources (time, money, effort) to buy goods related to
consumption.
From these two notions of consumer behavior in the above can be obtained
two important things, namely: as physical activity and as a decision-making
10
process. Based on some definition mentioned above it can be concluded
that consumer behavior is all the activities, actions, as well as the
psychological processes that drive those actions in the moments before buy,
when to buy, use, spend your products and services after doing the above
things or activities evaluated.
2. Consumer Behavior Model
An understanding of the consumer behavior is not an easy thing to do,
because there are many factors that influence and mutual interaction with one
another, so that the marketing approach undertaken by a company should
really designed as possible by taking into account these factors. In addition,
marketers should be able to understand the consumer, and trying to learn how
brands behave, act and think. Although consumers have a wide range of
differences, but they also have much in common.
The marketers are required to understand the diversity and similarity of
consumers or consumer behavior so that they can market their products well.
Marketers need to understand why and how consumers make decisions
consumption, so that marketers can design better marketing strategies.
Marketers who understand consumer behavior will be able to predict how
consumers tend to react to the information it receives, so that marketers can
develop appropriate marketing strategies. No doubt those marketers that
understand the consumer will have the ability to compete better. In the
11
following sub-chapters will be explained on consumer purchasing behavior.
Kotler and Keller (2012) describe the model of consumer behavior as follows:

3. Factors Affecting Consumer Behavior
Consumer behavior is influenced by circumstances and situations of
society in which he was born and evolves. This means the consumer comes
from society or different environments will have ratings, needs, opinions,
attitudes, and tastes different, so that decision-making in the purchase stage
will be influenced by several factors. Factors affecting consumer behavior
according to Kotler and Armstrong (2008) consisting of:
Major factor Sub-factors Description
Cultural factors
Culture Factors refer to the set of basic values,
wants and behaviours learned by a
member of a society from the family
and other important institutions.

and behaviours. Social class can be
determined by a combination of
occupation, income, education, wealth

Social factors Groups Group refers to 2 or more individuals who
interact to accomplish individual or
mutual goals. A person's behavior is
influenced by many small groups or
reference groups. These groups involve
family, religious groups, friends circle,

Family Members can strongly influence a buyer's
behavior. Marketers are interested in the
roles and influences of the husband, wife
and children on the purchase of different
products and services.

defined in terms of both role & status.

and develop appropriate plans and
products for each stage.

15

that a marketer may use in the
marketplace. Promotion has four distinct
elements: advertising, public relations,
personal selling and sales promotion.
Placement A way of getting the product to the
consumer and/or how easily accessible it
is to consumers.
B. Customer Satisfaction
1. Definition Customer Satisfaction
Everyone knows what satisfaction is, until asked to give a definition. Then
seems nobody knows. In less technical terms we interpret this definition to
mean that satisfaction is the customer’s evaluation of a product or service in
16
terms of whether that product or service has met the customer’s needs and
expectations. Failure to meet needs and expectations is assumed to result in
dissatisfaction with the product or service. (Zeithaml., et al 2006:110).
Customers have experience different levels of satisfaction or
dissatisfaction after they consume product or service which was suitable with
their expectation. Because satisfaction is the emotional condition, reaction
after bought something could be anger, dissatisfaction, aggravation, neutrality,
excitement, or enjoyment. (Lovelock and Wirght, 2007).
Customer satisfaction can be achieved only with giving high quality
service to the consumer. Good service and quality had been judged by
consumers directly from employee as a person who serve a service or also
called producer services. Because it takes some effort to improve service
quality system that had given to fulfill the desire and increasing customer
satisfaction. So, service quality was the first thing to measure improvement
customer loyalty to become something important that we have to be
considered by company in order to achieve customer satisfaction.
Service quality has a close relationship with customer satisfaction. Quality
gives a push to consumers for establish a strong relationship with the
company. In the long term, this relationship enable companies to understand
consumer expectations and needs carefully. Thus, companies can increase
customer satisfaction and at the end its satisfaction can create loyalty or
customer loyalty.
17
From the definition above customer satisfaction that have been explained
by expert, the author can make conclusion that customer satisfaction is the
expectation based on what customer perceives.
2. Factor of Customer Satisfaction
According to Rangkuti (2003:30) customer satisfaction defined as the
response of consumer to mismatch between previous importance level and the
actual performance after used. The factors that affect customer satisfaction as
follows:
a. Customer value, namely:
1) Accept customer complaint.
2) Responses customer complaint.
3) Have many types of services.
4) Give good information to customer.
b. Customer Response, namely :
1) Keep loyal for a long time.
2) Buy more when company introduce new product and renew existing
product.
3) Talk a good thing about the company product.
4) Give a little attention to brand and advertising competitor.
5) Offering the service or product ideas to company.
c. Customer perception, namely :
1) Customer feels satisfied with process and services provided.
18
2) Customers feel safe and comfortable when have a deal to company.
3) Give an advice to customer complaint either through the suggestion
box or e-mail.
3. Measurement of Customer Satisfaction
Kotler and Amstrong (2014:148) discuss several methods to measure
customer satisfaction, which are:
a. Complaint and Suggestion System
Each customer oriented service organization should provide the widest
opportunity to its customers to submit suggestion, criticism, opinions, and
their complaints. Information obtained through this method can provide new
ideas and input are valuable to the company making it possible to react
quickly and respond in overcome the problems that arise.
b. Customer Satisfaction Survey
Like in this research, company can do a survey to measure customer
satisfaction using such as questioner or by phone calls to a random sample
of their customers. Through the survey, companies will get responses and
feedback directly from customers and give a positive sign that companies
pay attention to them. Customer satisfaction survey is divided into four
categories, which are:
1) Directly report satisfaction: The respondents are being asked directly
with question in order to know if they are very satisfied, satisfied,
neutral, dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied. This survey is to use to collect
19
the customer opinion and needs which can give the result called the
customer satisfaction index. This customer satisfaction indexes the
standard of company needs to maintain.
2) Derived dissatisfaction: The question that being asked included two
aspects, how high is the customer expectation in the certain attribute,
and how high is the performance that customer’s feel of this attribute.
3) Problem analysis: The respondents are being asked to describe two
things; the problem which related with the company offer and
suggestion for improvement.
4) Importance performance analysis: The respondents are asked to rate the
services according to the customer importance and company
performance in each attributes.
5) Ghost shopping: This method use a person to pose as potential buyer to
report their findings on strong and weakness points when experience
buying the company’s and competitor’s product. Ghost shoppers also
can observe how the company and its competitors in serving customer
demands, answering customer question, and solve any problems or
customer complaints.
6) Lost customer analysis: The Company contact customers who have
stopped buying or switched to another supplier to learn why this
condition happened and in order to understand and take the police to
further improve or refine.
20
7) Some caution in measuring customer satisfaction: The Company must
make a well-structured questionnaire; otherwise the customer would
face a huge questionnaire. The company must also be able to recognize
that two customers can report being highly satisfied for two reasons.
One person maybe easily satisfied most of the time, and the other one
might be hard to please but was pleased on this occasion.
According to Sondoh Jr. et. al (2007) in Thakur and Singh (2012) Customer
satisfaction is the accumulated experience of a customer’s purchase and
consumption experiences. It was therefore; client satisfaction construct in this
paper will be measured through overall satisfaction toward the services.
Customer’s satisfaction is influenced by two factors which is experiences and
expectations with service performance. Operationally, satisfaction is similar to an
attitude, as it can be assessed as the sum of the satisfactions with the various
attributes of the product or service. Satisfaction may be defined as expectation
before purchase and perception about performance after purchase, The
expectancy disconfirmation paradigm suggests that consumers are satisfied when
the product perform better than expected (positive disconfirmation), dissatisfied
when consumers' expectations exceeded actual product performance (negative
disconfirmation), and neutral satisfaction when the product performance matches
expectations (zero disconfirmation or confirmation).

C. Customer Loyalty
1. Definition of Customer Loyalty
Customer loyalty is the purpose form organization or company to have a
strong relationship with members, that thing can involve the trust between
company and customer, because the customer has been loyal to its product
and they will not move to other product or brand, at the end the company can
get more revenue.
According to Manish (2001) customer loyalty is winning the confidence
of the customer in favor of an organization such that the relationship becomes
a win and wins solution for both the organization as well as the customer.
Customer loyalty is not only the customer incorporated to company. Customer
loyalty is something more of what an enterprise must get from the customer.
Different with the purpose, the customer is not only build loyalty to company,
but the company has to maintain its loyalty to the customer.
According to Lovelock and Wright (2007:133) loyalty is customer
decision to voluntarily always became a member with a particular company in
long term periods. Satisfaction is positively associated with customer loyalty
(Sharma and Patterson, 2000) and its related with business relationship
(Burnham et al. 2003) Companies, which manage to satisfy their customers,
retain them for as long as possible, and hopefully turn them into loyal
customers, will certainly be in a better competitive position and achieve a
better financial performance in (Almossawi, 2012).
22
According to Oliver (1999) in Oyeniyi (2011) further stated that loyalty is
a deeply held commitment to re-buy or patronize a preferred product or
service consistently in the future, thereby causing repetitive same-brand or
same-brand set purchasing.
From the definition above customer loyalty that have been explained by
expert, the author can make conclusion that customer loyalty is some
relationship between company and customer to create trustiness, because the
customer feel satisfied with its product.
2. Measurement of Customer Loyalty
According to Griffin (2009:31), customer loyalty is customers who have
the following characteristics:
a. Makes regular repeat purchase: Loyalty is refers to the form of the
behavior of these units to make a purchase decision-making continuously
for goods or services of a company that is selected. The level of
satisfaction with the store will influence them to buy back.
b. Purchases across product and service lines: Buying outside line of
products and services means that the desire to buy more of the products
and services that have been offered by the company. Customers who
already believe in the company in an affair it will be believed also to other
matters.
c. Refers others: Loyal customers willingly recommend the company to
friends and colleagues.
23
d. Demonstrates immunity to the full of the competition: Is not easily
affected by the pull of competition other similar companies.
D. E-Service Quality
1. Definition of E-Service Quality
The quality of online services in the online environment to be important in
determining the success or failure of electronic commerce. Voss (2003) define
a service in an electronic environment (e-service) as the delivery as service
using new media such as the web. The definition means that the delivery of
services using new media that is the web. The existence of evidence of the
quality of service on the delivery through the website is a very important
success strategy in comparison with cheap prices and a web presence
(Zeithaml et al., 2002).
Parasuraman et al. (2005) states the definition of the quality of online
services (e-service quality) in interaction with the website is the extent to
which a website efficient and effective shopping facilities, purchasing and
delivery. Explanation definition is defined as a level of a website to facilitate
effective and efficient manner in terms of shopping, make a purchase and the
delivery of products and services. Rate website quality not only when the
experience during the interaction with the website but also the interaction after
the service. Previous studies said, the quality of service in the online
environment is an important determinant in terms of the effectiveness of the
24
process of e-commerce. The highest standards of e-service quality means that
the potential advantages of the Internet can be realized.
2. Dimension of E-Service Quality
The growing quality of online services will make online services become
more effective and attractive that assists companies in achieving the highest
level of customer satisfaction. Parasuraman et al., (2005) states, have found
the dimensions of quality online services to take measurements of the e-
service quality. It is based on a scale of traditional service quality dimensions
developed. In the series of studies conducted, identified eleven dimensions of
quality online services, namely:
a. Reliability: corrects the technical function of the site and the accuracy of
the services promised (have stock items, surrender to what is in the
message, delivery as promised), billing and product information.
b. Responsiveness: quick response and the ability to help if there are any
problems or questions.
c. Access: the ability to find sites quickly and to get the location of the
company when needed.
d. Flexibility: a choice in how to pay, send, buy, search, and return items.
e. Ease of navigation: the site contains a function that can assist customers in
finding what is needed without difficulty, which is a good search function
and allows customers to maneuver easily and quickly turn around and go
forward through the pages of the site.
25
f. Efficiency: The site is easy to use, well-structured and contains the
minimum information needed by the customer as input.
g. Assurance or confidence: the confidence of customers to commit with the
site and based on the reputation of the site and the products or services
that are sold must be clear on where the information presented is correct.
h. Security or privacy: the degree to which customers believe that the site is
secure from tampering and protection of personal information.
i. Knowledge of the price: the rate at which customers can specify shipping
price, total price and comparative price during the shopping process.
j. Aesthetics site: the look of the site.
k. Customization or Personalization: How large and how easy it can be
tailored individually sites customer priorities, history and the way in
shopping.
Types of e-service quality ratings of the internet sites of other customer
perspective known as Equal (Website Quality). WebQual created by channel
quality functions. According Slabey (in Barnes and Vidgen, 2001) stated the
definition of quality function deployment (QFD) is structured and disciplined
process that Provides a means to identify and carry the voice of the customer
through each stage of product and or service development and
implementation, is a structured process and regularly provided to identify and
bring to customer complaints through each level of the implementation and
development of products or services.
26
According Tjiptono (2014: 363) E-Service Quality was divided into seven
dimensions:
1) Efficiency
Customers' ability to access the website, search for the desired product and
information relating to the product and leave the site in question with
minimal effort.
2) Reliability
With regard to the technical functionality of the site concerned, in
particular the extent to which there are available and functioning as it
should.
3) Fulfillment
Includes service promise accuracy, product stock availability and delivery
of products in accordance with the time promised.
4) Privacy

any other party and that the customer's credit card information is secured.
5) Responsiveness

27
6) Compensation

7) Contact
Reflecting the customer needs to speak with a customer service staff
online or over the phone (and not communicating with the machine).
E. Brand Image
1. Definition of Brand Image
Brand image is the consumer perception about a brand, which is reflected
by the brand associations that are in the minds of consumers. In other words,
the brand association is another information node connected to the brand node
in memory and contains a brand means to consumers. Associations come in
all shapes and may reflect the characteristics of the product or aspects
independent of the product. (Keller, 2013: 76).
Brand image or brand description ie a description of the association and
the confidence of consumers towards a particular brand. A number of
quantitative and qualitative techniques have been developed to establish
uncover perceptions and consumer associations to a particular brand, such as
multidimensional scaling, projection techniques, and so forth (Tjiptono, 2011:
112).
Brand Image is a set of brand associations are formed and embedded in
the minds of consumers. Consumers are accustomed to using certain brands
tend to have the consistency of the brand image. Brand image are perceptions
28
and beliefs made by consumers, as reflected associate in consumer memory
(Kotler, 2009: 346).
Brand image can sometimes change, when we need a change in the brand
image of the role model must be found. As part of the brand identification,
role models are supposed to represent elements of the core identity of a brand
(Surachman, 2008: 108).
2. Measurement of Brand Image
According to Keller (2013:77) that the measurement of brand image can
be performed based on the aspect of a brand, namely: strength, favorable and
uniqueness
a. Strength
The more the individual thinks about product information and
connect with the existing brand knowledge, the stronger the brand
association will be generated. Factors’ affecting the outcome of this is a
marketing communications program that was created to foster the brand
image in the form of audience (personal reverence) and a consistent
marketing communications program (consistency) at a time and all the
time. (Keller, 2013:78). Strength of brand association depends on how
the information is entered into the consumer memory and how it is to
survive as part of the brand image.
b. Favorability
29
Associations that are beneficial to the brand is desirable for consumer
associations, such as the form of comfort, reliable products, messages can
be delivered by a product or marketing communications programs that
support. Favorable lead to the ability of the brand to be easily
remembered by consumers. Favorable is the association - an association
that can be expected by the target audience (desirable) and delivered
(delivered) successfully by a product through marketing communications
program that supports the product brand. (Keller, 2013: 78). The success
of a marketing process often depends on the creation of favorable brand
association, where consumers can be trusted in the given attribute they
can satisfy the needs and desires of consumers.
c. Uniqueness
The core of this association is the brand must have a sustainable
advantage or have a unique selling proposition to give reasons why
consumers should buy it. Aspects uniqueness depends on two factors
presented by the marketing communications program or balance when
compared to other product brand association (point of parity) and the
extent to which marketing communications program has elements of
difference (point of difference) when compared to other product brand
associations. (Keller, 2013: 78). A brand should have the advantage of
being a reason for consumers to choose a particular brand. The
30
uniqueness of brand associations can be based on product attributes,
product functionality or image enjoyed.
F. Price
1. Definition of Price
Price is the easiest element in marketing program for a customized product
features, channel, even the communication takes more time. Price also
communicates positioning the intended value of the product or the company's
brand to the market. The products are designed and marketed well can be sold
at high prices and generate great profits. (Kotler & Keller, 2012).
According Tjiptono (2008: 151) mention the price is one - the only
element of the marketing mix that provides income or revenue for the
company.
From the definition above explains that the price is an important element
important in business, because with the price can show income for the
company, and also with the prices that will be the benchmark in exchange
buying and selling goods and services.
2. Price Fixing
The company chose pricing method that includes one or more of these
three considerations. According to Kotler and Keller (2012), there are six
methods of pricing, the following explanation:
a. Pricing Mark up
31
The most basic pricing method is to add a standard markup to the cost
of the product. Until now pricing markup is still popular because sellers
can determine the cost was much easier than expected demand, then prices
tend to be the same and price competition is minimized when companies
in the industry use this method, and finally many people feel that the
pricing cost plus fairer for buyers and the seller.
b. Determination of the purchase price level target
The Company determines the price which will produce return on
investment targets.
c. Pricing default values
Assuming the value is composed of several elements such as image
buyers will be the performance of the product, the ability of the delivery
of channels, quality assurance, customer support, and attributes that are
less dominant as supplier reputation, confidence and self-esteem.
d. Pricing value
The method creates a cheap price to consumers to attract the attention
of consumers by not ignoring the company's product quality.
e. Going-rate pricing
The company bases its price largely on competitors' prices, wearing
the same price, more expensive or cheaper than major competitors.
f. The type of auction pricing
32
Pricing types of auctions performed to remove more supplies or thrift.
A company must set a price for the first time when the company
developing or acquiring a new product, introduce the products into the
distribution channel or a new area, and when the company will participate
in the auction on a new labor contract. This is done so that the company's
goals can be achieved.
3. Indicator of Price
According to Stanton (in Rosvita, 2010: 24), there are four indicators that
characterize the price are:
1) Affordability price
That aspect of pricing that is made by the producer / seller in
accordance with consumers' purchasing ability.
2) Compliance with quality products prices
That aspect of pricing that is made by the producer / seller in
accordance with product quality can be obtained by consumers.
3) Price competitiveness
Namely a price quote provided by the manufacturer / seller of different
and competing with those given by other manufacturers, on the same types
of products.
33
4) Compliance with price benefits
That aspect of pricing that is made by the producer / seller in
accordance with the benefits that can be derived consumers of the product
purchased.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODS
A. Scope of Research
The object of this study is the application online travel agent Traveloka.com.
The scope of this study will discuss the e-service quality, brand image and price
are run by companies that Traveloka.com to customer satisfaction and its impact
on customer loyalty.
As the independent variable in this study is the e-service quality (X1), brand
image (X2) and price (X3). While the dependent variable in this study is the
Customer Satisfaction (Y1) and Customer Loyalty (Y2).
B. Determine of Sample Method
1. Population
The population in this study is people who buy ticket and booking hotel
from traveloka.com, here the researcher does not restrict the respondent from
gender and age. Population is area generalization consist of objects and
subjects that have certain quality and characteristic designed by author for
learned and at the next pulled the conclusion. (Sugiyono, 2009:115).
According to Malhotra (2004:314) population is the aggregate of all the
elements that share common set of characteristic and that comprise the
universe for the purpose of the marketing research problem.
47
2. Sample Technique
According to Sugiyono (2009:116) sample is a part of total number and
characteristic that owned by its population. According to Malhotra (2004:314)
sample is a subgroup of the elements of the population selected for
participation in the study. Element is the object about which or from which
the information is desired (Malhotra, 2004:315).
The sample technique will be used is convenience sampling. According to
Malhotra (2004:321) convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling
technique that attempts to obtain a sample of convenient elements. Because,
non-probability sampling relies on the personal judgment of the researcher
rather than chance to select the sample elements. The researcher can
arbitrarily or consciously decide what elements to include the sample
(Malhotra 2004:320)
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. If the sample is broken down further into sub-sample must be a minimum
number of sub until 30.
c. In the multivariate research (multiple linear regressions) the sample size
should be several times larger (10 times) than the number of variables to
be analyzed. A simple experiment for research, with strict controls, sample
size between 10-20 elements.

C. Data Collection Methods
To obtain accurate data in this study using two kinds of data are primary data
and secondary data.
1. Primary Data
Primary data is data that comes from the original source or sources of the
first that we generally refer to as a resource (Sarwono, 2012:37). The method
used to obtain primary data is that the questionnaire. The questionnaire is a
list of questions that will be used by researchers to obtain data from the source
directly through the communication process or by asking questions. The
questionnaire supposed to respondent to be filled, the respondents in this
research is the online travel agent services Traveloka.com.
Weight rating figures questionnaire results in this study are described in
the corresponding Likert scale is a method used to measure attitudes,
opinions, and perceptions of a person or group of people about a social
phenomenon. Likert scale used to answer part of the study had five categories
of statements as presented in the table below:
Table 3.1
Likert Scale
Range Score
SA = Strongly Agree 5
A = Agree 4
49
Range Score
N = Neutral 3
D = Disagree 2
SD = Strongly Disagree 1
2. Secondary Data
Secondary data is data that has been processed by certain parties that
the data is available when we need (Sarwono, 2012: 32). This research
includes studies through all the written material (literature study) in the form
of books, literature, internet and other written sources that are relevant to the
title of the research and accountability can be verified.
D. Data Analysis Methods
The method used in this study with the deployment of 100 questionnaire to
consumers Traveloka.com, using questionnaire with Likert scale, a Likert scale
used to measure attitudes, opinions, and social. In this research, this social
phenomenon has been defined specifically by the researchers, here in after
referred to as the research variables.
With Likert scale, then the variable to be measured are translated into the
indicator variables. Indicators are then used as a starting point for preparing the
instruments of items that could be a statement (Sugiyono, 2008: 107). Answer
every item instrument that uses a Likert scale has a gradation from extremely
50
positive to negative. To maintain fairness and reliability grains questions on the
validity and reliability made in advance by some respondents first tryout for a
limited.
1. Test Validity
Pearson bivariate correlation is one formula that can be used to test the
validity of the data with SPSS program. According Widiyanto (2010: 34-37)
correlation coefficient in the validity of the test can be done with pearson
formula with rough numbers as follows:
∑ ∑ ∑
√ ∑ (∑ ) √ ∑ (∑ )
Information:
rxy: correlation coefficient
x: score items
y: the total score
n: number of subjects
Basis for a decision on the validity of the test are:
a. If the value rcount> rtable, then the item in question or statement in the
questionnaire correlated significantly to the total score (ie item
questionnaire declared valid).
51
b. If the value rcount <rtable, then the item in question or statement in the
questionnaire did not correlate significantly to the total score (meaning an
item questionnaire declared invalid).
2. Test Reliability
After determining the validity of research instrument next step is to
measure the reliability of data from research instrument. Reliability is a
measuring instrument for measuring a questionnaire which is an indicator of
variables or constructs. According to Wahyono (2009: 251) reliability is
stability or stability between the instrument observations or measurements. If
likened to the goods, the goods are observed in steady state, both the
observation first, second, third and so on.
This reliability test is used to test the consistency of the data within a
certain period, namely to determine the extent of measurement used
trustworthy or reliable. These variables Cronbach alpha is said to feature a
large value of 0.70 which means that the instrument can be used as a reliable
data collection is the result of the measurement of the coefficient relative if
performed repeated measurements. Reliability test aims to see consistency
(Ghozali: 2011: 48).
3. Method of Path Analysis
Path analysis path analysis first developed in the 1920s by a geneticist
is Swell Wright (Joreskog and Sorbon; Johnson & Wichern, 1992, in Riduwan
52
and Engkos, 2011: 2). Path analysis is an analysis which aim to determine the
direct and indirect effects of exogenous variables on endogenous variables.
Consideration of using this analysis because of one variable with other
variables have a relationship. A path diagram, arrows tipped double (
) shows the correlation and arrow in one direction ( ) indicates a
causal relationship or direct influence of exogenous variables (X) and
endogenous variables (Y), so systematically path analysis to follow the
pattern of a structural model, so step beginning to work or the application of
the model is to formulate a path analysis and structural equation path diagram
(Riduwan and Engkos, 2011: 7).
Technical analysis is used in the test track the contribution
(contribution) directly and indirectly embodied by the path coefficient for
each path diagram of a casual relationship between variables X1, X2, X3 of the
Y1 and Y2 (Riduwan, 2011: 123).
In analyzing the research using path analysis, there are several steps in
order to be run to meet proper research using path analysis (Pardede and
Manurung, 2014).
a. Determining the track diagram based paradigm relationship variables.
b. Determining the structural equation.
53
c. Analyzing by using SPSS, the analysis consists of two steps: analysis
substructure I and II.
d. Interpretation of the results of calculations based on the diagram of SPSS
with the specified path.
e. Perform analysis model line trimming if there is an exogenous variable
that tracks the coefficient is not significant.
f. To test Sobel to calculate the indirect effect if there is a variable that is not
significant.
Before researchers used path analysis in the study, the researchers had
to create a model for the relationship between variables which in this case is
called the path diagram.

4. Hypothesis Testing
a. Correlation Coefficient
Analysis of the correlation coefficient is used to determine the degree
of relationship between one variable with another variable. The rationale
for this is a change in the correlation analysis between variables, meaning
that if a change of the variable followed by other variables, then the two
variables are correlated.

The correlation coefficient only describe the relationship between
variables but it does illustrate the power of causality or causal. Because of
the correlation is used only to measure the degree of the relationship in
terms of correlation analysis there are no exogenous and endogenous
variables (Pardede and Manurung, 2014: 29-31).
Researcher using Pearson or product moment correlation by using
SPSS 20.0 to see the degree of relationship between one variable with
another variable. To facilitate the provision of correlation coefficient
category then made measurements of the following criteria:
Table 3.2
Criteria Correlation Coefficient
r value Criteria
0,00 - 0,29 correlation is very
weak
0,30 - 0,49 weak correlation
0,50 - 0,69 correlation is strong
enough
0,70 - 0,79 strong correlation
0,80 - 1.00 correlation is very
strong
Source: Sarwono (2007:22)
To determine whether the correlation of each variable significant or
not measured from the significant value of each relationship variables. The
57
significance value should be smaller in value than the value of the
tolerance level is used. In this study the tolerance value used is 0.05.
b. Coefficient of Determination
According Ghozali (2011: 97) coefficient of determination (R2)
essentially measures how far the ability of the model to explain variations
in the independent variables. R2 small value means the ability variables
independent in explaining the variation of the dependent variable are very
limited, otherwise the value of R2 approaching one means independent
provide almost all the information needed to predict the variation of the
dependent variable.
c. Test Significance simultaneously (Test Statistic F)
Simultaneously, hypothesis testing is done by using the F-test.
According Ghozali (2011: 98) test statistic F basically shows whether
independent or independent variables included in the model have
influence together against the dependent variable / bonded.
According Ghozali (2011: 98), F test is done by comparing the
significance of F count with F table with the following provisions:
H0 is accepted and Ha is rejected if F count <F table for α = 0.05
H0 rejected and Ha accepted if F count> F table for α = 0.05
58
d. Test of Significance Partial (Test Statistic t)
Partially, hypothesis testing was done by t-test. According Ghozali
(2011: 98) test statistic t basically shows how far the influence of
independent variable individually in explaining the dependent variable.
According Ghozali (2011), the t test is done by comparing the significance
of t count with t table with the following provisions:
H0 is accepted and Ha is rejected if t <t table for α = 0.05
H0 rejected and Ha accepted if t> t table for α = 0.05

3. Path Analysis (Path Analysis)
The next data processing techniques using path analysis (path analysis),
where the analysis of this pathway serves to determine the direct and indirect
influence of a set of variables exogenous variables on endogenous variables,
testing should be done is:
a. Correlation coefficient
91
In the path analysis method, to determine the degree of correlation
between one variable with another variable. The correlation coefficient
only describe the relationship between variables but it does illustrate the
power of causality or causal, because correlation is only used to measure
the degree of the relationship in terms of correlation analysis there are no
exogenous or endogenous
