Abstract

This study examines the role of the individual factor impulse buying tendency (IBT) on the urge to buy impulsively (UB) through the mediations of positive affect (PA) and normative evaluation (NE). The structural model of this study was analysed using structural equation modelling conducted in Smart PLS 3.0. Findings revealed that IBT, PA, and NE significantly predicted UB. IBT significantly predicted the PA and NE. Both PA and NE have partially mediated the relationship between IBT and UB. The overall findings of this study could enrich the understanding of impulse purchase behaviour, particularly in the Malaysian Gen-Y context.
