scholarly journals Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling in Online Shopping: the Moderator Effect Between Impulsive Buying Tendency and Behavior

Single’s Daywas first promoted by Alibaba's shopping website on November 11, 2009. Ten years later, Taobao successfully developed this day into a global carnival shopping festival. This research focuses on undergraduate business school students through online questionnaires across the Taiwan Strait. This study is based on five impact factors, including impulse buying tendencies, herd behavior, website features, promotional techniques and impulse buying behavior. No evidence showed that gender, age and monthly disposable income affect students’ buying behavior. This study also found that herd behavior, website features and promotional techniques are moderator effects between impulse buying tendency and impulse buying behavior. We also proved that website design and the opinions of their peers affect consumers' decision aking. According to the analysis, in the current online shopping environment, operators should pay more attention to herd behavior, website features and promotional techniques. This study suggests that the industry should provide sufficient information to reduce emotional conflict, and use these important factors to attract consumers' future purchases.

For decades, impulse buying is considered to be one of the significant factors to increase sales volume in the retail sector. Past studies have investigated the impulsive buying behavior of generation Y consumers in retail settings of somewhat medium- and large-sized cities. Therefore, how certain situational or in-store factors can propagate impulse buying in the retail settings of small cities has been widely ignored. This article explores the influence of situational variables categorized as personal factors (time availability, family influence, money availability) and in-store factors (store environment, sales promotions, and friendly store employees) on generation Y impulse buying behavior in the Pakistani context in general and the country’s small cities in particular. A self-administered survey was used to elicit information from 422 purposively selected respondents (living in various cities of Punjab, Pakistan). Data have been analyzed by using Statistical Package For Social Science (SPSS) and Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) for structural equation modeling (SEM). Results revealed that personal factors, that is, time availability and family influence has significant and positive impact on the impulse buying behavior of generation Y consumers in Pakistan, also in-store factors except money availability has significant impact on impulse buying behavior. Recommendations for retail management have been given at the end of the article.

Given the limited quantity of studies within the literature, this study investigates the moderator role of hedonic shopping value and mood in the relationship between consumer mindfulness and impulse buying behavior. The study is quantitative and descriptive and using a convenient sampling method, 223 online questionnaires were obtained in Samsun, Trabzon, and İstanbul. The responses collected from a close-ended questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale was tested at Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through AMOS.The findings of the study indicated that consumers with mindfulness exhibit negative impulse buying behavior. Although the study results reveal that hedonic shopping value has a moderator role in the relationship between consumers with low mindfulness and their impulse buying behavior, the moderator role of hedonic shopping value in the relationship between consumers with high mindfulness and impulse buying behavior is not proved. Besides, it is found that consumers’ positive and negative moods have not a moderator role in the relationship between mindfulness and impulse buying behavior. From this viewpoint, the study’s result will provide practitioners and academicians to understand the impulse buying behavior patterns of consumers with mindfulness.

In this study, we develop and test a full model examining several antecedents and consequences of impulse buying behavior for urban consumers in Vietnam, an Asian transitional economy. The hypotheses are empirically tested using survey data obtained from consumers in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The results of structural equation modeling show support for most of our hypotheses. The findings indicate that shopping enjoyment tendency and modern self are significant predictors of impulse buying, while traditional self is not found to have an impact on this buying behavior. Impulse buying is found to be positively related to customer satisfaction, and subsequently, to customer loyalty. The research findings are discussed and implications for managers and policy makers are provided.

This empirical study proposed a comprehensive model testing the direct and indirect impacts of entrepreneurship extracurricular activities and entrepreneurship inspiration on students’ entrepreneurial intention. With the sample consisting of 640 students from 11 universities in Vietnam, the study used structural equation modeling analysis approach. The results revealed that entrepreneurship extracurricular activities and entrepreneurship inspiration are significantly related to students’ entrepreneurial intention, and entrepreneurship self-efficacy partially mediates these relations. The impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intention differs across the field of study. Technical students generally get more benefits from entrepreneurship educational activities than business and economics students do. The research findings recommended some implications for fostering graduates’ entrepreneurship in emerging countries.

The unsustainable operations of producers account for significant carbon emission and subsequent adverse impacts on nature. This study aims to identify the factors that influence consumers’ green buying behavior. The research focuses on the exploratory testing of theories using standardized questionnaires and interviews. Using a convenience selection approach, questionnaire surveys were used to gather primary data from a sample size of 305. The sample demographic reflects people who often make purchases; data were also obtained from shopping centers and elsewhere. The hypothesis testing of variables measured via five-point Likert scale questions was performed using structural equation modeling. We applied closed-ended questions relating to green buying behavior for the convenience of respondents. The empirical result established the effects of attitude, perceived severity of environmental problems, environmental concern, and subjective norms on Bangladeshi consumers’ green buying behavior. Additionally, it was discovered that attitude mediates the association between the perceived environmental responsibility and green buying behavior. Therefore, the government should play a constructive role in educating the public and promoting green business initiatives through improved coordination and legislative intervention.

Purpose This study aims to examine the effects of cruise attributes on impulse buying of service customers through impulsive buying tendency. Specifically, this study investigates whether service attributes (variety of selection and price) influence the impulsive buying behavior of customers by stimulating their impulsive buying tendency. Design/methodology/approach Partial least squares-structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesis using a sample of 143 cruise customers. Mediating analysis was conducted to examine whether customer personal traits (impulsivity) mediated the relationship between service attributes and impulsive buying behavior. Findings The findings showed that price attributions had a significant positive direct impact on impulsive buying tendency and behavior, while a variety of selections had a significant direct effect on impulse buying behavior. The results revealed a significant mediating role of impulsive buying tendency in the relationship between price attributions and impulse buying. Originality/value Although studies on the decision-making style of service customers have been widely discussed, a limited number of studies has examined customers’ impulsive buying behavior in the service sector. Considering the importance of impulsive purchasing as a valuable marketing tool, the results of this study can help service providers and researchers enhance their knowledge of the mechanism of impulse buying behavior.

Online shopping has grown popularity over the years because of its convenient and can often save money for buyers. There are two main factors that can affect a person to do shopping online: internal factors and external factors. Previous research often focuses on one factor only, that is, internal or external factors in influencing online shopping. Therefore, this research attempts to integrate both internal (i.e., personal innovation and hedonic motivation) and external factors (i.e., web design and eWOM) in predicting attitude and intention to buy online. Data was collected by using questionnaires with non-probability sampling method. The number of respondents was 228 respondents. Data was then analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results showed that four out of five hypotheses are supported. Specifically, the results showed that personal innovation is not a significant predictor of attitude toward online shopping. This study also provides research limitations and suggestions for further research.

Understanding the attitude and behavior of customers is essential for every company where consumers differ in attitudes towards product/service. The consumer buying behavior in today's information-saturated world is based on how a product/service is marketed. However, the rapid diffusion of technology anchored growth and challenges on e-marketing trends. For instance, despite the widespread and large-scale adoption of e-marketing around the world, one does not see this trend happening on a big scale in Nigeria. Therefore, this study examines the influence of e-marketing factors on consumer buying behavior in the Nigerian context with particular reference to the University students participating in online business. The study employed the quantitative method, where primary data were collected via online distribution of the questionnaires among 233 customers, specifically students of the Osun state Universities in Nigeria. Also, structural equation modeling using AMOS software was employed to examine the relationship and hypothesis testing. The findings of this study revealed that e-marketing is positively and significantly influence consumer buying behavior in the area of e-mail marketing, mobile marketing, and e-advertising factors. The study asserted that firms must engage the consumers using technology that are more likely acceptable by consumers in the present digital and customer-oriented era. Also, knowing fully the emerging technologies may furnish valuable insights for various stakeholders to work well in Nigeria. Finally, the new trends in e-marketing are recommended from a strategic and operational level in which different techniques ease the buying behavior of consumers.
