Do Affective Variables Make a Difference in Consumers Behavior Toward Mobile Advertising?

Abstract

Research into permission-based mobile marketing is increasingly common due to the widespread adoption of mobile technology and its use as a communication channel. Yet few studies have attempted to analyze the factors that determine attitudes toward mobile advertising while simultaneously considering: the links among them and consumers' intentions, behavior, and/or cognitive and affective variables simultaneously. The present research therefore sought to deepen understanding of the antecedents and consequences of attitudes toward permission-based mobile advertising. More specifically, it sought to identify the antecedents of attitudes toward mobile advertising and the bridges between these attitudes and consumers' intentions upon receiving advertising on their mobile devices. To this end, a causal model was proposed and tested with a sample of 612 mobile phone users that was collected from a panel of Spanish adults who receive advertising on their mobile phones in the form of SMS text messages. The structural model used was validated using the partial least squares (PLS) regression technique. The results show that the greatest influence was that exerted by positive emotions on feelings, suggesting that positive emotions have an indirect effect on attitude toward mobile advertising. This influence was even greater than their direct effect. Another important, though less powerful, effect was the influence of attitude on behavioral intentions to receive mobile advertising. In contrast, the influence of cognitive variables on attitude was less relevant.

Financial Planning for Retirement: Age-Related Differences Among Spanish Workers

“…Furthermore, financial advisers could help themselves and the wider population by performing periodic evaluations of FPR to identify changes in savings trends over time and achieve a better understanding of their clients as a basis for the design of individual FPR proposals tailored to individual needs, given the relevance of personal priorities and the meanings individuals attach to goals on levels of FPR engagement (Süssenbach, Gollwitzer, Mieth, Buchner, & Bell, 2016). Finally, it has been argued that the motivational processes underlying financial behavior in general, and specifically FPR practices, are crucial to achieving the desired outcomes (Martínez-Ruiz, Izquierdo-Yusta, Olarte-Pascual, & Reinares-Lara, 2016). Hence, government should actively promote political initiatives to create tax incentives to encourage saving for life after retirement.…”

However, there is a literature gap in identifying how online customers' psychologically consume online information and perceive brands to make their decisions for purchase.…”

Drivers and barriers of permission-based marketing

“…According to numerous research studies (Karjaluoto et al, 2008;Zhang and Mao, 2008;Soroa-Koury and Yang, 2010;Sututemiz and Kurnaz, 2012;Khasawneh and Shuhaiber, 2013;Izquierdo-Yusta et al, 2015;Kim et al, 2016;Afzali, 2017;Martinez-Ruiz et al, 2017), perceived utility is significantly related to attitude towards mobile advertising. Karjaluoto et al (2008) found that the perceived usefulness of mobile communications explained attitudes towards mobile advertising.…”
