The influence of hedonic values and extraversion on online impulse buying: Empirical evidence from Indonesia

The purpose of this study is to analyze Indonesian consumer hedonic values, extraver-sion, and online impulse buying, as well as to examine the influence of consumer he-donic values and extraversion personality on impulsive online buying. This study uses a quantitative research method that employs descriptive and associative tools. The pri-mary data were gathered through social media surveys of Indonesian consumers who buy goods through e-commerce. Of the 440 respondents who received questionnaires, only 400 completed them accurately. According to the survey, at least 75% of respon-dents shop online regularly. The study's findings describe three types of Indonesian online consumers: those with hedonic values, those with reasonably high extrovert personalities, and those prone to online impulse buying. Path analysis results indicate that both hedonic value and extraversion have a significant influence on online im-pulse buying. Hedonic consumers enjoy online shopping, and as a result, they discover items they had not previously considered purchasing without careful consideration. On the other hand, extroverted consumers who are outgoing, passionate, and pleasant in social situations are more likely to be interested in impulsive online buying. These results provide online business owners with necessary guidance by demonstrating the importance of developing a website that is not only informative but also visually ap-pealing and engaging to trigger impulse buying.
