This shows that the research results H1 were accepted and H0 was rejected. While partially E-WOM (X1) has a positive and significant effect on Purchasing Decisions (Y), with a calculated t value > ttable, namely 3.693 > 1.98580 with a sig t value for the E-WOM variable (X1) 0.000 smaller than α 0.05, namely 0.000 < 0.05, Influencer (X2) has a positive and significant effect on Purchasing Decisions (Y), with a calculated t value > t-table, namely 3.693 > 1.98580 with a sig t value for the Influencer variable (X2) 0.000 smaller than α 0.05, namely 0.000 < 0.05 and Influencer (X2) has a positive and significant effect on Purchasing Decisions (Y), with a calculated t value > ttable, namely 2.067 > 1.98580 with a sig t value for the Influencer variable (X2) 0.042 is smaller than α 0.05, which is 0.042 <0.05, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected, H2 is accepted and the R Square coefficient is 0.577 or 57.7%.
