Consumer behaviours have great importance for marketers. Impulse buying, which is an appearance of consumer behaviour, arises with a sudden stimulus. Different aspects affect impulse buying. Life satisfaction, which is one of these aspects, brings consumers about impulse buying behaviour by influencing them. Moreover, the rapid development of online shopping and the fact that online interaction occurs in virtual environments at all hours of the day affects people's quality of life. This study aimed to investigate how consumers' life satisfaction shapes consumers' impulse buying behaviour and whether there is a difference between the descriptive and main variables in line with this relationship according to consumers' online or offline purchasing behaviour. The methodological base is the questionnaire form as a data collection method in Duzce province (Turkey) between March and May 2018. Participation in the study was conducted by convenience sampling method. In the research purpose line, a model is comprised. In turn, a path diagram was performed according to the confirmatory factor analysis with a Structural Equation Model. The obtained results showed the negative relationship between life satisfaction and sub-dimensions of impulse buying (positive emotions, emotion conflict, unplanned behaviour, and mood management). The authors noted only a positive relationship between life satisfaction and rational behaviour in the study. Thus, that is another sub-dimensions of impulse buying. Besides, comparing the mean, there was a significant difference between positive emotions, unplanned behaviour, type and shopping channels. These findings could help future studies aimed at researching the effect of different variables on impulsive behaviours. This study was carried out in a short period due to time and cost constraints. One of the study's limitations is that the study data were obtained only from the participants in Duzce province (Turkey).

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the materialist tendencies of the consumers on their purchase decision styles by structural equation model. For this purpose, a questionnaire have been interviewed with 393 students by simple random sampling method in the province of Duzce University - Faculty of Business Administration, using the scale of materialist tendency and the scale of decision making styles. In this study, quantitative research method has been used and primary research data have been collected by questionnaire technique. Data obtained have been analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and Amos 23.0 programmes. In this study, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted for construct validity and hypotheses were tested with structural equation model. According to the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, it was seen that consumers perceived materialist tendency in one and purchasing decision styles in seven dimensions. In the analysis of the structural equation model proposed by using the construct validity variables, it was concluded that the materialist tendency had a significant positive effect on the dimensions of fashion conscious, brand conscious, quality conscious, habitual and confused by over-choice; negative effect on brand consciousness which are the sub-dimensions of purchasing decision styles.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, satış elemanlarının satış ve müşteri yönlülüklerinin örgütsel bağlılıklarına etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırmanın evrenini Düzce'de bulunan perakende satış mağazalarında çalışan satış elemanları oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmış ve kolayda örneklem yöntemi ile 160 satış personelinden yüz yüze anket tekniği ile birincil veriler toplanmış olup, elde edilen veriler SPSS ve AMOS paket programlarında analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada yapı geçerliliği için açımlayıcı faktör analizi yapılmış ve hipotezler yapısal eşitlik modeli ile test edilmiştir. Yapılan açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonuçlarına göre satış sorumlularının satış yönlülük, müşteri yönlülük ve örgütsel bağlılık değişkenlerini tek boyutta algıladıkları görülmüştür. Çalışmada önerilen yapısal eşitlik modelinin analiz sonuçlarına göre, müşteri yönlülüğün örgütsel bağlılığa anlamlı ve pozitif yönde etkisinin olduğu saptanmıştır.
