“…This shows that the satisfaction obtained by students from the attributes offered by higher education institutions, namely Universitas Khairun and IAIN Ternate, is considered to be as expected. This result is also supported by the research results of Ismail et al (2010), Davignon (2015), Buamonabot et al (2019), Sudarwo et al (2019) and Buamonabot et al (2020) that student satisfaction in choosing a college is very much determined by the attributes attached to the university.…”

“…Therefore, the satisfaction of prospective students who will choose is very important for higher education. So that those who are superior must start with a comprehensive understanding of what attributes are the needs of prospective students who will choose a university, because the prospective students who are satisfied after choosing the college from time to time will return and bring more friends (Ismail et al, 2010;Davignon, 2015;Buamonabot et al, 2019;Sudarwo et al, 2019;Buamonabot et al, 2020). So the hypothesis proposed in this study is as follows.…”

This study aimed to examine the satisfaction of information availability in mediating the relationship between attributes of and satisfaction in choosing higher education institutions for Universitas Khairun and IAIN Ternate. A total of 252 students from both institutions were involved in this survey, with an effective rate of return of 70%. A hierarchical regression analysis was run by using IBM SPSS version 24. The results showed that for Universitas Khairun, information satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between attributes and satisfaction in choosing a university. In contrast, for IAIN Ternate, information satisfaction is only an independent variable. The implications and suggestions for further research are also discussed in this study.

“…The CCCU is an association of theologically conservative Christian colleges and universities that restricts its membership to institutions that actively integrate the Christian faith with teaching and scholarship (Council for Christian Colleges & Universities Profile, 2014). Students who attend CCCU institutions often do so because of their explicit Christian identities (Davignon, 2016). While these institutions represent a niche within higher education in the US, they are ideal for testing the effects of religious pluralism because religion is a salient feature of the institutional context.…”

While attending college, religious participation tends to decline among American students, but evidence of changes in religious belief is less clear. On the bases of both secularization theory and the moral communities thesis, we used multi-level modeling techniques to test whether institutional diversity predicts changes in student belief at Christian institutions. Results suggest that declines in absolutism were associated with increasing religious and political diversity, and religious diversity amplified the effects of academic tenure. Political diversity, however, explained the effects of religious diversity in combined models, suggesting that challenging political discourse may be more important for changes in religious belief than diversity of religious worldviews in the context of Christian higher education in the United States.

“…The second most influencing factor on the students' purchase decision is social influences. Reference group, family, role and status are regarded as the important social factors which highly impact on the students' purchase decision as a simple and direct classification (Davignon, 2016). Rika (2016) raises the finding that positive influences are occurred when the students' decision is influenced by friends and alumni.…”

This study aimed to analyse the factors considered by the learners in choosing a language learning centre in Myanmar as an overview of the competitive advantage in the rapidly transforming cutthroat and globalised market competition. Deductive approach was applied as the base of conducting the study with exploratory research design using survey questionnaire in which the related quantitative and qualitative questions distributed to 108 students. The qualitative and quantitative data interpreted revealed two prominent factors, TV advertising and financial factor, have no impact on the students’ selection decision. However, the other three factors, social media advertising, academic quality, and social influence, have significant impact on the students’ decision of selecting a language institute. The competitive advantages based on the user experience have been identified as well. Because the research area is limited to only five influential factors, the number of variables can merely cover the narrow scope of the research area to foreground the whole resemblance of the students’ selection behaviour and attitude. However, the results imply that competitive advantage in the highly competitive market requires strategic formulation of marketing strategies.
