Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh viral marketing dan emotional urge terhadap purchase decision di kalangan Generasi Z. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan teknik simple random sampling pada 100 responden di Kota Bandung, dianalisis melalui regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa viral marketing berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap purchase decision (t-hitung 5,347 {\ensuremath{>}} t-tabel 1,984; sig. 0,001 {\ensuremath{<}} 0,05), begitu pula emotional urge (t-hitung 6,128 {\ensuremath{>}} t-tabel 1,984; sig. 0,001 {\ensuremath{<}} 0,05). Secara simultan, kedua variabel berpengaruh signifikan (F-hitung 82,983 {\ensuremath{>}} F-tabel 3,09; sig. 0,001 {\ensuremath{<}} 0,05) dengan Adjusted R2 0,624. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa kombinasi strategi pemasaran viral dan pengelolaan dorongan emosional konsumen efektif dalam meningkatkan purchase decision pada produk viral berbasis eksposur digital. The phenomenon of viral product trends, such as Dubai Chocolate, shows that consumer purchase decisions tend to decline after the trend fades and negative testimonials emerge, thus requiring marketing strategies capable of sustaining purchase decisions. This study aims to analyze the effect of viral marketing and emotional urge on purchase decisions among Generation Z. The research employed a quantitative approach with a simple random sampling technique involving 100 respondents in Bandung City, analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that viral marketing has a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions (t-value 5.347 {\ensuremath{>}} t-table 1.984; sig. 0.001 {\ensuremath{<}} 0.05), as does emotional urge (t-value 6.128 {\ensuremath{>}} t-table 1.984; sig. 0.001 {\ensuremath{<}} 0.05). Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect (F-value 82.983 {\ensuremath{>}} F-table 3.09; sig. 0.001 {\ensuremath{<}} 0.05) with an Adjusted R2 of 0.624. These findings confirm that the combination of viral marketing strategies and managing consumers' emotional urges is effective in enhancing purchase decisions for viral products that rely on digital exposure.} }
