ABSTRACT

Gen Z is a generation born between the mid-1995s and early 2010s, playing an increasingly important role in the global consumption landscape. As a generation that grew up with the development of digital technology and the internet, they have different characteristics compared to previous generations in terms of consumption behavior and product purchasing decisions. Word of mouth (WOM) or word of mouth communication has long been recognized as a strong factor in influencing consumer behavior. In the context of Gen Z, WOM takes on a new dimension as most of this communication occurs digitally through online platforms. Gen Z is highly influenced by the opinions of their friends (Dorie, A (2024). Although word of mouth and digital marketing play an important role in attracting the attention of Gen Z, product quality remains the main determining factor in the final decision to purchase. Gen Z is very critical of the quality of the products they buy. This research aims to determine the influence of the three independent variables, namely: word of mouth (X1), Digital Marketing (X2) and Product Quality (X3) on product purchases by Gen Z (Y), using the Quantitative method. The research sample was calculated based on the Lemesshow formula, taken from 120 students and the general public aged 16 – 38 years who were given 40 questions which were distributed via Google form.
