AbstrakBerdasarkan penjelasan Pasal 33 UUD 1945, secara eksplisit koperasi merupakan bangun perusahaan yang sesuai bagi perekonomian Indonesia. Secara yuridis selama UUD 1945 masih merupakan landasan struktural Indonesia maka semua warga negara dan pemerintah Indonesia wajib menjaga keberadaan dan mengembangkan koperasi menjadi sektor ekonomi yang kuat sehingga mampu berperan sebagai soko guru perekonomian Indonesia.Meskipun konsep koperasi merupakan konsep yang sifatnya general, namun koperasi di Indonesia mempunyai karakteristik yang berbeda dengan koperasi di negara lain. Koperasi Indonesia tidak sekedar sebagai badan usaha seperti firma, perseroan terbatas, tetapi koperasi Indonesia merupakan agen pembangunan untuk pengentasan kemiskinan, meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat, dan berperan untuk menyebarluaskan jiwa dan semangat koperasi untuk dapat dikembangkan pada perusahaan swasta dan negara. Namun demikian, rendahnya kualitas SDM koperasi, adanya kasus-kasus penyimpangan, serta kurang optimalnya peran pengawas menyebabkan kehidupan dan kinerja koperasi semakin terpuruk sehingga masyarakat trauma dan memiliki persepsi yang negatif terhadap koperasi.Untuk membangun kembali citra koperasi, maka pemerintah perlu mensosialisasikan substansi dan nilai-nilai luhur koperasi kepada seluruh warga negara, khususnya generasi muda, mengembangkan jiwa dan semangat kewirausahaan pada koperasi; membangun jaringan kerja sama dengan pelaku ekonomi lainnya, serta dibutuhkannya political will yang kuat dari pemerintah untuk mengembangkan koperasi, serta berani bertindak tegas terhadap koperasi yang tidak sehat maupun membubarkan organisasi yang berkedok koperasi.Kata kunci: citra koperasi, political will pemerintah

This study aims to determine: (1) the effect of trust on purchasing decisions, (2) the effect of product reviews on purchasing decisions, (3) the effect of price on purchasing decisions, (4) the influence of product quality on purchasing decisions, and (5) simultaneous influence of trust, product reviews, price, product quality on purchasing decisions. This research includes causal associative research with a quantitative approach. In determining the number of samples using an unknown population formula so that the results obtained are 384 students. The sampling technique used is accidental sampling. Data were collected by using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The instrument validity test in this study used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the instrument reliability test used Cronbach's alpha. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis technique. The results show that: (1) Trust has a positive effect on Purchase Decisions with a beta coefficient value (β) of 0.226 with a beta coefficient (β) of 0.226 and a significance value of 0.000 <0.05; (2) Product Reviews have a positive effect on Purchase Decisions with a beta coefficient (β) of 0.165 and a significance value of 0.000 <0.05; (3) Price, has a positive effect on purchasing decisions with a beta coefficient (β) of 0.112 and a positive value of 0.000 <0.05; (4) Product quality has a positive effect on purchasing decisions with a beta coefficient (β) of 0.269 and a significance value of 0.000 <0.05; (5) Trust, Product Reviews, Price and Product Quality have a simultaneous effect on Purchasing Decisions. The results of the calculation of the simultaneous effect show the Fcount value is greater than Ftable, which is 25.024 > 2.41 with a significance level of 0.000 which means it is smaller than (0.000 < 0.05). The magnitude of the effect shown by the Adjusted Rsquare number is 0.201. Keywords: Trust, Product Reviews, Price, Product Quality, and Purchase Decision.
