for data collection. This method aims to collect data
on research subjects by asking a large number of
respondents who are considered to represent a
population. The nature of this study uses associative
explanations or research that tries to explain the
position of the variables to be studied, namely the
trust variable (X1), celebrity endorser variable (X2),
purchasing decisions (Y), and Shopee loyalty profile
(Z) and the relationship between all variables. The
sampling method uses non-probability sampling, a
sample selection strategy that does not employ equal
opportunities for each component of the population to
be sampled. Non-probability in this study uses
purposive sampling (Sugiyono, 2014). The criteria
determined by the researcher are based on age with a
minimum age of 17 years, making purchases at
Shopee at least three times, and having seen one of
the celebrities promoting Shopee e-commerce.
According to Hair et al. (2014), a good sample
size to use is 100 or higher. The minimum sample size
is at least five times the number of indicators. Still, it
is more acceptable if the sample size can be ten times
the number of indicators, and it is more advisable if
the sample size is twenty times the number of hands.
In this study, the four variables had a total of
12 indicators so that when multiplied by 20, it became
240 respondents who were considered sufficient to
represent the population.
