Abstract

Impulsive buying behaviour has become a crucial topic in consumer research in the era of e-commerce growth in Jakarta and the rise of paylater services in Indonesia. This study aims to analyse the influence of social comparison, materialism, and negative affect on impulsive buying, with confidence as a moderating variable. Data were collected through an electronic questionnaire from 230 respondents aged 18–30. After conducting reliability and validity tests, hypothesis testing was performed using PLS-SEM. The results show that five out of seven hypotheses are supported. Social comparison has a significant positive impact on materialism and negative affect but does not significantly affect impulsive buying. Furthermore, materialism was found to increase both negative affect and impulsive buying behaviour. The findings also indicate that negative affect does not have a significant impact on impulsive buying. Confidence successfully moderates the relationship between social comparison and both materialism and impulsive buying, suggesting that individuals with higher levels of confidence are more capable of resisting impulsive urges and are less influenced by social pressure. This study provides important insights for businesses to design more ethical and effective marketing strategies while helping consumers make wiser financial decisions.

Abstract

The rise of digital communication has transformed traditional word of mouth (WoM) into electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM), significantly influencing consumer behavior. This study investigates the impact of eWOM on purchase intention, with a focus on Apple products among Indonesian students. The research explores the mediating roles of trust beliefs, value co-creation, hedonic brand image, and functional brand image in this relationship. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 240 respondents through an online questionnaire, and the results were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings demonstrate that eWOM has a positive effect on purchase intention, with trust beliefs and value co-creation acting as significant mediators. Moreover, both hedonic and functional brand image were found to positively mediate the relationship between eWOM and purchase intention. These results highlight the importance of eWOM as a strategic tool in influencing consumer decisions, especially for premium brands like Apple. The study provides insights for marketers on leveraging trust, value creation, and brand image to enhance purchase intention through eWOM.

Abstract

The widespread phenomenon of panic buying is often influenced by psychological mechanisms involving self regulation, Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), and social influences. This study aims to analyze the impact of self regulation and FoMO on panic buying behavior and the negative effects of both on consumer well-being. The Labubu keychain, a product that went viral on social media, serves as a case study to illustrate this phenomenon. Most consumers feel compelled to make impulsive purchases due to product scarcity exacerbated by FoMO. Based on the theoretical model, self-regulation acts as a mechanism to mitigate the negative effects of FoMO, reducing the likelihood of impulsive purchases. This research also highlights the importance of a deeper understanding of these psychological mechanisms for marketers and policymakers, in order to promote more thoughtful and sustainable purchasing behaviors.

Abstract

The role of branding is vital for companies striving to establish and nurture consumer trust. Developing a strong brand image and fostering trust involves various strategic approaches, including the use of influential brand ambassadors and increasing overall brand awareness. This study specifically focuses on evaluating the impact of brand ambassadors Vincent and Desta, as well as the level of brand awareness, on brand trust. In this context, brand image serves as an important intermediary factor. Adopting a positivistic paradigm combined with a quantitative research approach, this study utilizes an explanatory survey methodology directed at Instagram followers of @oronaminc.id. Following data collection, the information is meticulously processed with the SEM-PLS technique for comprehensive analysis. The findings reveal that the presence of brand ambassadors does not exert a direct and statistically significant influence on brand trust; however, their effect becomes significant when mediated through brand image. In contrast, brand awareness demonstrates a robust direct influence on brand trust and significantly contributes to enhancing brand trust through the intermediary of brand image. These insights underscore the importance of both awareness and image in effectively building brand trust within the competitive landscape of consumer beverages.
