Abstract

This study aims to test and analyze the effect of price discounts on impulse buying and positive emotions (PE), as well as the influence of PE on impulse buying. Besides, examining and analyzing the PE to mediate the relationship between price discounts and impulse buying becomes another intention. The population comes from Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2009, who purchased goods in the Yogya Department Store in Bandung City. Moreover, a purposive sampling method is utilized to sample them. Fortunately, this study can collect 207 people based on the survey. Therefore, this study uses a covariance-based structural equation model and Sobel test. After statistical testing is complete, this study demonstrates (1) no effect of price discounts on impulsive buying, (2) a positive influence of price discounts on PE, (3) a positive relationship between PE and impulsive purchase, and (4) the mediating effect of PE on the association between price discounts and impulse buying. Additionally, the R-square in the positive emotion and impulsive models is 0.801 and 0.148, respectively. As an implication, this study suggests that department stores apply price discounts on goods to elevate positive feelings with the help of salespersons providing excellent services, creating impulsive purchases after employees receive salaries.

Abstract

With the development of the times, smoking habits for many people have changed. Many people use e-cigarettes, one of which is an e-cigarette with the Foom brand. Many consumers use e-cigarettes for the reason of reducing smoking habits. The existence of e-cigarettes also affects the desire to buy from many people, where most people purchase e-cigarettes because they get much information from social media. A total of 110 respondents were taken as samples with the criteria of being over 18 years old, active users of e-cigarettes, and active social media users. Data testing was carried out through path tests and the results found that social media marketing and trust influenced purchasing decisions by 49.4%. However, trust does not influence purchasing decisions, and also trust does not mediate between social media marketing and purchasing decisions.
