Abstract

Persaingan antar lembaga pendidikan tinggi yang semakin meningkat mendorong institusi untuk memahami faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keputusan mahasiswa dalam melakukan pendaftaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh Word of Mouth, Brand Image, dan persepsi harga terhadap keputusan pendaftaran mahasiswa di LP3I College Banten. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei. Data dikumpulkan melalui penyebaran kuesioner kepada 170 responden yang merupakan mahasiswa LP3I College Banten. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan metode Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) dengan bantuan aplikasi SmartPLS, sedangkan pengujian hipotesis dilakukan melalui analisis bootstrapping berdasarkan nilai koefisien jalur, T-statistic, dan P-value. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Word of Mouth, Brand Image, dan persepsi harga berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap keputusan pendaftaran. Nilai R-Square sebesar 0,534 menunjukkan bahwa ketiga variabel tersebut mampu menjelaskan 53,4% variasi keputusan pendaftaran, sedangkan 46,6% sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar model penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan pentingnya komunikasi dari mulut ke mulut, penguatan citra institusi, dan persepsi kesesuaian antara biaya pendidikan dengan manfaat yang diperoleh dalam mendukung keputusan mahasiswa untuk mendaftar.
