The moderating effects of age and gender on the relationship between culture and uncertainty avoidance
No full textThis study investigates uncertainty avoidance of ethnic groups differentiated by age and gender. A total of 5,126 respondents, including 11 different ethnic groups (from Europe and Asia), participated in an online survey. The findings support that women were more uncertainty avoidant than men in five ethnic groups, namely, Bulgarian, French, Dutch, Japanese, and Chinese. The opposite was seen for the Spanish and Vietnamese ethnic groups in which the women were more uncertainty tolerant. These gender differences were independent of age. The study points out the importance of self-categorization as an indicator of ethnic groups. This type of ethnic identification is related to the commonly used cultural dimension of uncertainty avoidance
Replication Data for: Limited-time scarcity and competitive arousal in e-commerce
No full textIn their web stores, retailers are increasingly using scarcity as a strategy to influence customers’ perceptions and purchase behaviour.
This study aims to investigate the effect of limited-time promotions on purchase intention while examining the mediating roles of perceived scarcity and competitive arousal as predictors as well as the moderating role of consumers’ cultural background.
The results demonstrate that a limited-time notice does not directly generate higher purchase intention compared to a non-limited-time notice. Interestingly, another major finding pertains to the indirect effects on purchase intention.
Specifically, a limited-time availability notice creates higher perceived scarcity and subsequently activates higher perceived competition, which, in turn, leads to higher purchase intention. However, this indirect effect on purchase intention emerged only for the Italian consumers, and not for the Dutch consumers, participating in this study
