Abstract

The rapid development of digital marketing has encouraged companies to utilize social media platforms, particularly Instagram, as strategic instruments in influencing consumer behavior. This study aims to analyze the influence of personalized advertising and consumer engagement on purchase decision through perceived value as an intervening variable among Generation Z Instagram users in Madiun City. This study employs a quantitative approach with explanatory research design. The population consists of Generation Z Instagram users in Madiun City aged 13 29 years. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling technique with 385 respondents. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) method with SmartPLS version 4. The results indicate that: (1) personalized advertising has a positive and significant effect on purchase decision; (2) consumer engagement has a positive and significant effect on purchase decision; (3) personalized advertising has a positive and significant effect on perceived value; (4) consumer engagement has a positive and significant effect on perceived value; (5) perceived value has a positive and significant effect on purchase decision; (6) perceived value significantly mediates the effect of personalized advertising on purchase decision; and (7) perceived value significantly mediates the effect of consumer engagement on purchase decision. The R² value of purchase decision at 0.637 indicates that the research model is strong in explaining the variation in Generation Z's purchase decisions on Instagram.
