I. Introduction

In an increasingly sophisticated and modern era, technology is now a tool and a


primary need that cannot be separated from an individual activity, and technology is a
communication tool that can connect one another. technology is widely used from young
people to the elderly. not only that, every organization, both commercial and non-
commercial, all use technology in carrying out their work activities in order to make it
easier to do a job. Development is a systematic and continuous effort made to realize
something that is aspired. Development is a change towards improvement. Changes
towards improvement require the mobilization of all human resources and reason to realize
what is aspired. In addition, development is also very dependent on the availability of
natural resource wealth. The availability of natural resources is one of the keys to
economic growth in an area. (Shah, M. et al. 2020)
With the development of a business that is colored by various kinds of competition
from all fields marked by the emergence of new technologies, the competition in the
business world and the marketing world will be increasingly tight. Seeing this, business
people or companies are required to create new innovations so that sustainable business

and commercial products are produced differently from competitors, because businesses
have the right strategy to achieve sales volume targets and see technological developments
and advances are now increasingly sophisticated in order to improve the quality of the
company so that To survive in the midst of competition, companies are also required to
win the competition through their best products, and companies can meet the tastes and
desires of consumers who are increasingly changing with the times (Kotler, 2002: 34). This
can be seen from the increasing popularity of these new products, it can also be seen from
the increasing number of products that appear with unique advantages, one of which is that
computer products can be seen as one of the products that are experiencing rapid
development. At first computers were made and created with very large sizes with the
development of time, computers were created in a very minimalist size with very
sophisticated functions and specifications which were commonly called laptops or portable
computers and notebooks. The higher the company's leverage, the company tends to
generate less cash, this is likely to affect the occurrence of earning management.
Companies with high debt or leverage ratios tend to hold their profits and prioritize the
fulfillment of debt obligations first. According to Brigham and Ehrhardt (2013), the greater
the leverage of the company, it tends to pay lower dividends in order to reduce dependence
on external funding. So that the greater the proportion of debt used for the capital structure
of a company, the greater the number of liabilities that are likely to affect shareholder
wealth because it affects the size of the dividends to be distributed. (Yanizzar, et al. 2020)
Currently, laptops are items that really help work, complete tasks, or are used to earn
money more efficiently and quickly. The increasing number of online sales makes a
marketer increasingly need laptops and the functions of laptops are increasing, not only
used for work, doing assignments or making money through online sales but are used for
gaming and other entertainment in accordance with the features offered by laptop
manufacturers. Laptops among students have become a primary need because all lecturer
assignments from the initial semester to the preparation of the final project are completed
with the help of laptops. In their academic life, students are very dependent on laptops as a
support for the success of their studies among young people, especially students. This may
be due to its very stylish design, reliable performance, light weight, affordable prices, easy
choice of colors to suit your taste and various other advantages.
In the current era, notebooks and laptops have become important tools that can make
it easier for every individual who really needs technology such as students, students,
employees, teachers, as well as small and large companies to simplify their work. Not only
that, along with the development of internet technology, laptops are not only for storing
data and typing aids, but now many laptops are used for playing games, selling, to access
news and information, as well as a means for learning and for government officials.
The Indonesian market has many brands of laptops and notebooks, namely ASUS,
Acer, Toshiba, Samsung, Dell, Apple, HP, Lenovo, SonyVaio and other local goods,
namely Axio, at affordable prices so that they meet their needs for various brands that are
very well known to consumers, and one of the one is widely known. Asus is a product
manufactured by Asustek computer Inc. located in Taiwan. We produce not only
notebooks, Asustek computer Inc, but also computer components such as motherboards
and graphics cards and recently Asustek computer Inc. has started to produce, mobile
phones, tablets, and laptops. other computer products.
Judging from the data collected by IDC (International Data Center) Indonesia
throughout 2013 Asus won the top position by gaining a market share of 25.4% in other
words Asus laptop sales rose 11.3% compared to the previous year and was able to shift
Acer as a vendor. with the largest sales in Indonesia. The second position is occupied by
15208
Acer, followed by Lenova Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard (HP). In 2014 Asus targets to be
able to achieve a laptop market share of 35% according to Country Product Group Leader
System BG Asus Indonesia Juliana Cen Consumers in making decisions regarding
alternative product choices will consider cultural, social, personal, and psychological
factors according to (Kotler 2009:166) Humans in carrying out their daily lives will not be
separated from technology, so a laptop is an adequate requirement.
According to Sigit (2002:51) purchase motivation can be divided into emotional and
rational motivation. Rational motivation is a purchase that is based on a fact of a product
that is perceived by consumers and is also part of a product attribute that has functions
such as product quality of an item, availability of goods, price of goods and efficiency of
function of goods that can be accepted by consumers. While emotional motivation is a
feeling of pleasure that is captured by the five senses when consumers buy an item which
is usually related to the social status of the consumer which is directly when the consumer
buys the product, the economic status is considered high which is usually symbolic or
objective or also when people want to buy. a product some properties dominate but others
have a minor role. In different situations the control may be opposite but in other cases a
balance can be achieved but clearly predicts whether two traits are made to balance when
making a decision in purchasing a product which is usually influenced by two types of
motives namely rational and emotional motives. According to Kotler and Armstrong
(1996-156) say in the same situation a person's perception of the product can be different
this can be caused by the existence of a perception associated with a person's behavior in
making product decisions or something desired, one way to find out behavior consumer on
an item. Based on consumer awareness you can find out what the pros, cons, threats, and
opportunities of a product are.
According to Simamora (2002:14) states "The overall recognition element is global
in elements, namely 1) innate is an attitude where the subject is classified as a subject
knowledge of the problem product attributes will support a positive attitude 2) Emotional
elements are emotions that reflect people's feelings about the goal regardless of whether
the goal is desired or preferred 3) Behavioral elements reflect the actual tendency and
behavior of the object to indicate the tendency to take action and consumer behavior in the
decision-making process is colored by personality characteristics, age, income and
lifestyle.
To make a careful marketing analysis so that companies are not harmed by their
marketing mistakes, they need to know the motivations, perceptions and attitudes of
consumers towards the process of buying Asus brand laptops. To be able to determine the
motivation, perception, and attitude of consumers, it is first necessary to define the
elements of the decision-making process. Being able to take this factor takes steps in
marketing efforts that must be done so that it can find out the level of consumer
satisfaction of Asus laptops relative to marketing activities carried out by the company, the
company will make it easier, the goods issued by the company are a motivation, perception
and attitude of consumers to make decisions.

II. Review of Literature

2.1 Previous Research


Wahyuni's research (2008) entitled The Influence of Consumers' Motivation,
Perceptions and Attitudes on Purchase Decisions for Honda Motorcycles in the West
Surabaya Region. It is known that based on the results of research motivation, perception,

15209
consumer attitudes have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions for
Honda motorcycles. Nur's research (2010) entitled The Influence of Consumers'
Motivation, Perceptions and Attitudes on Purchase Decisions for Yamaha motorcycles in
Surakarta. Based on the results of the study, it shows that motivation can have a positive
and significant effect on consumer decisions in purchasing Yamaha motorcycles in areas in
Surakarta. Perception can have a positive and significant effect on consumer decisions in
purchasing Yamaha brand motorcycles in the Surakarta area. Attitudes can have a positive
and significant effect on consumer decisions in purchasing Yamaha motorcycles in the
Surakarta area, so that it is known that the hypothesis can be proven true. The result of the
calculated F value is 39.681 with a significant value of 0.000 0.05, which means that the
motivation, perception, and attitude of consumers together or simultaneously have a
positive effect on consumer decisions in purchasing Yamaha motorcycles. Based on the
value of the coefficient of determination, a positive value of R 2 (adjusted R square) is
obtained, which is 0.0502, which means that the influence given by the independent
variable is in the form of motivation (X 1 ), perception (X 2 ), and attitude (X 3 ) towards the
variable. The bound is the consumer's decision to purchase a Yamaha motorcycle of 0.502
or 50.2%, meaning that 49.8% is another variable outside the research model. Saputra's
research (2013) entitled Analysis of the Effect of Motivation, Perceptions, Consumer
Attitudes on the Decision to Purchase a Daihatsu Xenia Car in Sidoarjo. Based on the
results of the study, the variables of Motivation, Perception, and Consumer Attitudes
influence the Purchase Decision of Daihatsu Xenia in Sidoarjo. Mawey (2013) research
entitled Motivation, perception, and consumer attitudes influence on product purchasing
decisions pt. Rajawali Nusindo Manado branch and the results of the study show the
influence of variables simultaneously and partially, namely the motivation, perception, and
attitude variables can have a positive and significant effect on consumer purchasing
decisions.

2.2 Motivation
According to Schiffman and Kanuk (2000:69 consumer motivation is a driving force
from within consumers that forces them to take action, the power of the impulse is
obtained from a pressure caused by the unfulfilled needs, desires and requests. Then along
with cognitive processes (thinking) and the knowledge that has been obtained, then the
impulse causes behavior to achieve goals or fulfill needs, which means that purchase
motivation is a consideration and influence that encourages people to make purchasing
decisions.

2.3 Perception
According to Schiffman & Kanuk (2000:146) perception is a process of an individual
in selecting, organizing, and translating the information stimuli received into a picture that
has a strong influence for consumers to determine purchasing decisions.

2.4 Consumer Attitude


According to Schiffman and Kanuk (2010) consumer attitude is the term consumer
attitude means the behavior that consumers display to search for, purchase, use, evaluate,
and spend on products that they expect will satisfy their needs. Consumer attitude is an
activity of someone who is directly involved in using these services and goods in the
decision-making process in the preparation and determination of these activities.

15210
2.5 Buying decision
According to Olson (2013:332) purchasing decisions are a process of solving
consumer problems which consist of the introduction of needs, analysis, and desires,
information search, assessment of sources of selection on alternative purchases, purchase
decisions and behavior after purchase.

2.6 Relationship between motivation and purchasing decisions


According to Sigit (2002:51), purchase motivation can be divided into rational and
emotional motivations. Rational motivation is a purchase that is based on a fact that is
shown by a product to consumers and is a product attribute that is functional and objective,
for example product quality, product price, availability of goods, efficiency of use of the
goods are acceptable. Emotional motivation is something related to feelings, pleasures that
can be captured by the five senses, for example by having a certain item can increase social
status, the role of the brand makes the buyer show his economic status and is generally
subjective and symbolic. When someone is going to buy an item, one trait can be very
dominant while the other trait plays a little role. In a different situation today it is possible
that the dominance occurs the other way around. Meanwhile, in other cases, the two traits
can be balanced. But we will find it difficult to clearly see whether the two traits are in
balance in a person. In making a decision to buy a product, it can be influenced by both
types of motivation, namely rational and emotional motivation. When someone makes a
decision to buy a product, it will certainly be influenced by both types of motivation,
namely rational and emotional motivation.

2.7 The relationship of Perceptions with purchasing decisions


According to Schiffman and Kanuk (2000:146) Perception is a process by which an
individual selects, organizes, and interprets stimuli into the meaningful and coherent
picture of the world. More or less that perception is a process that makes a person to
choose, organize and interpret the stimuli received into a meaningful and complete about
the world. In the opinion of Kotler and Armstrong (1996:156) said that in the same
situation a person can have a different perception of an item. This is usually caused by a
stimulus process in the minds of consumers. In essence, perception is closely related to
consumer behavior in making decisions about the desired goods or services. One way to
find out consumer behavior is to analyze consumer perceptions of a product to find out the
threats, weaknesses, and strengths of the products that we have.

2.8 Relationship between Consumer Attitudes and Purchase Decisions


According to Simamora (2002:14) in attitude there are three components, namely
1) Cognitive component is a consumer belief and a knowledge of the object. What is meant
by the object is that the more positive product attributes a belief in the product brand, the
overall cognitive component will support the overall attitude. 2) Affective component is an
emotional that reflects one's feelings towards an object, whether the object is desired or
liked. 3) Behavioral component is reflecting the actual tendency and behavior towards an
object, which this component shows the tendency to take an action. Consumer behavior in
the decision-making process to make a purchase will be colored by personality traits, age,
income and lifestyle.

III. Research Method

This research is an explanatory research type using multiple linear regression


analysis method. Explanatory research is a type of method that describes the position of a
variable under study and its influence between one variable and another (Sugiyono, 2014:
7). Researchers conducted research on Asus brand laptop products because they saw
increasingly sophisticated technology and Asus reached the top position by gaining a
market share of 25.4%, in other words, Asus laptop sales rose 11.3% compared to the
previous year and was able to shift Acer as a vendor with biggest sales in Indonesia. Acer
occupies the second position, followed by Lenovo, Toshiba and Hewlett-Packard (HP). In
2014, Asus targets to be able to achieve a 35% laptop market share, according to Country
Product Group Leader System BG Asus Indonesia, Juliana Cen. So that researchers are
interested in examining whether it is because there are motivations, perceptions and
consumer attitudes that make students interested in making purchasing decisions. Primary
data is the source of data obtained directly from the source Indriantoro and Supomo
(2002:147). The data taken in this study is a direct assessment of students in Rusunawa II
UNISMA.
According to Sugiyono (2012:119) Population is an area of generalization and
objects/subjects that have certain qualities and characteristics determined by researchers to
be studied and then drawn conclusions. So included in the population of this study were
students at Rusunawa II Unisma. According to Sugiyono (2012: 120) states that the sample
is a part of the number and characteristics possessed by the population. Based on the
results of the calculation of the number of samples used in the study amounted to 65
respondents.
