“…Arguably, this seems to be the most important contribution, considering the lack of literature in this domain (Prentice et al, 2020). This study also shows a significant positive correlation between PLA and subjective norms, which are commonly treated as separate predictors of behavioral intention or as moderators of other correlations in previous TPB studies (Kervenoael et al, 2020). It suggests that PLA could positively affect or reinforce subjective norms, an important manifestation of herd psychology.…”

“…PLS-SEM has been chosen because of its ability to work with a small sample size with no distributional assumption (Hair et al, 2019). Compared to the covariance-based SEM, Kervenoael et al (2020) elucidated that PLS-SEM offers greater flexibility to early-stage development types of study, which are frequently used for theory testing. Additionally, PLS-SEM has been deployed in studies of different contexts, including tourism (Mathew and Soliman, 2020), events (Tan et al, 2020c), education (Sim et al, 2020) and human resources (Tan et al, 2020a).…”

PurposeCoronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has given rise to different dimensions of uncommon human behavior, and panic buying is one of them. Interestingly, panic buying research has not been given much attention. The purpose of this paper is threefold. Firstly, it examines the influences of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) elements (subjective norm, attitude and perceived behavior control (PBC)) on panic buying. Secondly, it investigates online news and the perceived likelihood of being affected (PLA) as antecedents to the TPB constructs. Finally, to examine online news verification as a moderator on the relationship between the TPB constructs and panic buying.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 371 respondents and analyzed using the partial least squares method structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). PLS predict was applied to determine the predictive power of the model further.FindingsThis study found that subjective norms and attitude influence panic buying. The results further revealed that online news has a direct influence on the PLA and attitude. However, PBC has no such effect on panic buying. Surprisingly, online news verification also has no moderating effects on the relationships between the TPB elements and panic buying.Originality/valueThis research helps to understand consumer panic buying behavior, especially during shock events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is the first that extends the TPB incorporating both online news and PLA as antecedents to panic buying in the same model. Furthermore, the study serves as an initial attempt to investigate online news verification as a moderator between the link of three constructs of TPB and panic buying, contributing to existing literature. Lastly, it advances the body of knowledge on consumer behavior and contributes methodologically by introducing the PLS approach.

“…To a significant degree, research on technology adoption use approaches from the 1st or 2nd generations of multivariate models (e.g., multiple regression). It assumes that variables have symmetric relationships (e.g., SEM) ( De Kervenoael et al, 2021 ). Predictors, in these models, are required to be both adequate and necessary for an event to take place.…”

Éclaircissement to Understand Consumers’ Decision-Making Psyche and Gender Effects, a Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Consumers’ decision-making is complex and diverse in terms of gender. Different social, psychological, and economic factors mold the decision-making preferences of consumers. Most researchers used a variance-based approach to explain consumer decision-making that assumes symmetric relationship between variables. We have collected data from 468 smartwatch users and applied a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explain and compare male and female consumers’ decision-making complexity. fsQCA assumes that an asymmetric relationship between variables can exist in the real world, and different combinations of variables can lead to the same output. Results explain that different variables have a core and secondary level of impact on consumer decision-making. Hence, we can not claim that certain factors are significant or insignificant for decision-making. fsQCA results revealed that cost value, performance expectancy, and social influence play a key role in consumers’ buying decisions. This study has contributed to the existing literature by explaining consumer decision-making by applying configuration and complexity theories and identifying unique solutions for both genders. A major contribution to theoretical literature was also made by this research, which revealed the complexity of consumer purchasing decisions made for new products.

“…Subjective norms can be defined as perceived social pressure to engage (or not) in a behaviour and are considered as antecedents of intention (Ajzen and Madden, 1986). In the case of food choices, the desire to consider "significant others" (family, friends, relatives, work colleagues, and other reference groups; Scalco et al, 2017) when purchasing and eating organic food correlated with the intention to purchase sustainable products (Dean et al, 2008;Aertsen et al, 2009). De Kervenoael et al (2020 considered subjective norms as a function of (un)perceived barriers to purchase: they facilitate the intention to purchase healthy and sustainable products.…”

PurposeThe study aims to propose a systematic and innovative model of purchase intention development that integrates Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) with its main extensions and clarifies the logical status of the variables involved and the structure of the causal path.Design/methodology/approachThe TPB is the most useful predictive model of purchase intentions, which can be viewed as the product of various psychological determinants. Previous works have proposed extensions of the TPB model to selectively include knowledge, trust or social norms, but an integrated proposal has not yet been formulated. Based on a survey in four European countries (Germany, Italy, Poland and the UK; N = 1,035), this study tests the process of organic vegetable purchase intention development using a structural equation model (SEM). This comprises part of the measurement of latent variables and part of the analysis of dependency relationships (MLR estimation method).FindingsThe results show that purchase intention for organic vegetables is primarily dependent on positive moral attitude (PoMA) towards such consumption. The inclusion of PoMA reduces the effect of attitude toward buying organic vegetables, but the effects of social norms, past behaviour and perceived behavioural control remain significant. Originality/valueThis study proposes an innovative model to explain purchase intention for organic vegetables that incorporates the key current extensions of the TPB model (knowledge, trust and PoMA) into an integrated causal pathway. Understanding the relationships between the antecedents of purchase intention provides relevant information on “what” needs to be improved and “where” interventions are needed to steer consumers towards organic food.
