ABSTRACT This research aims to analyze the significant effect from hedonic motivation against impulsive buying on e-commerce consumers. Hedonic motivation and utilitarian motivation can encourage impulsive buying behavior in transactions when people shopping in e-commerce.

This study uses purposive sampling and questionnaire methods. This research was conducted on 344 respondents who are active users of social media and e-commerce users, such as Shopee, Tokopedia and Lazada. Data analyzed with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) method and SMART-PLS application. The results shows that external factor has a positive influence on hedonic motivation and utilitarian motivation, it can be seen that hedonic motivation has a positive effect on impulsive buying factors, and utilitarian motivation does not affect impulsive buying. In addition, interpersonal factors and external factors have a significant positive effect on impulsive buying with hedonic motivation mediation. Meanwhile, utilitarian motivation does not seem able to mediate interpersonal and external factors to have a significant influence on consumers' impulsive buying behavior. Keywords: e-commerce, hedonic motivation, utilitarian motivation, impulsive buying.
