Antecedents of Online Impulse Buying: An Analysis of Gender and Centennials’ and Millennials’ Perspectives

Impulse buying continues to be a relevant topic for retail management, yet few studies have examined the role of online impulse buying. This study analyzes the effect of impulse buying tendency on online impulse buying behavior through the mediation of normative evaluation and the urge to buy impulsively on the Internet. As a secondary objective, we aim to identify whether gender and generation influence the model. The research was conducted in Mexico with millennials and centennials who had previously bought products on the Internet. We used quantitative, explanatory, non-experimental, cross-sectional research. We applied an electronic survey, and, for the statistical technique, we used PLS. According to the results, impulse buying tendency both directly and indirectly influences online impulse buying behavior through the mediating roles of normative evaluation and the urge to buy impulsively on the Internet. Moreover, we found that gender does not have an effect on the model. Regarding generation, two significant differences were found between centennials and millennials.

Effect of Influencer Marketing on Online Impulse Purchase

Fashion retailers are increasingly using influencer marketing to build a consumer-brand relationship. However, influencer marketing remains an understudied area, and choosing from among traditional attractive celebrity influencers and expert influencers remains a conundrum for marketers. Hence, this research examines the comparative effectiveness of an attractive celebrity influencer, vis-à-vis an expert influencer on online consumer-brand engagement, further resulting in an online impulse purchase. The moderating role of impulse buying tendency between online consumer-brand engagement and online impulse purchase is also examined. Using survey data from respondents following fashion influencers, the author tested the proposed hypotheses using structural equation modeling. The findings indicate that attractive celebrity influencers exhibit a significant effect on online consumer-brand engagement, which further leads to online impulse purchase. The findings also establish the moderating effect of impulse buying tendency and the mediating role of online consumer-brand engagement.

Shopee is one of the favourable marketplaces in Indonesia. This research investigates impulse buying among Shopee user. In addition, it also analyzes the relationship between practical value, hedonic value, browsing, and impulse buying tendency. The survey was conducted using an online questionnaire and collected data from 211 respondents, the Shopee marketplace application users.

The results show that the utilitarian value does not affect impulse buying tendency via browsing, and hedonic value affects impulse buying tendency via browsing. This research has limitations, which are: this research only involves the Shopee marketplace, so it is possible that it cannot be generalized to all types of marketplaces, and for further investigation, it can add or compare other marketplaces such as Tokopedia, Lazada, and Blibli. Supposedly, this study calls other variables, such as expressive value, sacrifice value, web quality, and purchase intention.

Antecedents of user intention to donate to content creators in social media: A dual-attribute model perspective

I conducted an online survey with 356 WeChat Official Account users to explore how user donation intention was affected by antecedents related to the charitable and consumptive attributes of their donation. I used structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression analysis to test the hypotheses, and found that the antecedents of emotional attachment (related to the charitable attribute) and perceived fairness (related to the consumptive attribute) were positively related to user donation intention. In addition, identification and interaction were positively related to emotional attachment, WeChat Official Account article value and other users' donation behavior were positively related to perceived fairness, and impulse buying tendency strengthened (vs. weakened) the positive relationship between emotional attachment (vs. perceived fairness) and user donation intention. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Click to Buy: The Impact of Retail Credit on Over-Consumption in the Online Environment

There is growing concern that worldwide cultures of consumption have had detrimental consequences for individual wellbeing and sustainability of the environment. The term “overconsumption” exemplifies the tension between mutually beneficial producer–consumer exchange and the damaging effects of excess. In search of a pathway toward reducing overconsumption practise, sustainability literature is often interested in better understanding not only why overconsumption occurs, but what facilitates it in particular consumer markets. Young adults are one group of consumers where transitioning identities and lifestyles see impulsive consumption of goods that are often termed “non-essential”, such as fashion and apparel products. This study explores the impact of a set of impulse enabling financial tools (buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) credit schemes) on impulse buying tendency in an online fashion shopping context, for young adult female consumers. The paper contributes a consumer perspective on the impact of BNPL on unsustainable consumption behaviour in the online retail setting, which the literature currently lacks, by considering consumers’ impulse buying tendencies in such a setting. Findings demonstrate that BNPL users have a higher online impulse buying tendency than those who do not use BNPL, and a clear link is identified between online impulse buying tendency and sales conversion tool sensitivity, thus promoting overconsumption in this setting.
