PENGARUH RESPONSIVITAS STREAMER DAN INTERAKSI LIVE STREAMING TERHADAP PARTISIPASI DONASI AUDIENS MAHASISWA PADA TIKTOK LIVE GAMING

Abstract

The growth of gaming live streaming on TikTok has encouraged digital donation practices through Saweria as a form of audience participation. This study analyzes the influence of streamer responsiveness and live streaming interaction on audience participation in Saweria donations among student audiences watching TikTok Live Gaming, using a quantitative explanatory approach through a survey of 106 active Diponegoro University students, analyzed with multiple linear regression. The results show that streamer responsiveness and live streaming interaction have a positive and significant effect on donation participation, both partially and simultaneously (Sig. = 0.000), with streamer responsiveness as the more dominant predictor (Beta = 0.594) compared to live streaming interaction (Beta = 0.367), and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.902, indicating that higher streamer responsiveness and stronger interaction are associated with greater audience intention to donate via Saweria.
