Exploring the Impulsive Buying Behavior on TikTok Live Platform

Abstract

Abstract. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between Influencer Credibility on the TikTok live platform, Customers' Hedonic Motives, and Online Impulsive Buying Behavior with the moderating effect of Sensory Shopping Experience. Using a self-selection sampling method, a questionnaire was used to gather the data from TikTok users who have experienced shopping impulsively in the TikTok live shopping event where an influencer becomes the host. Out of 297 questionnaires distributed, there were 263 completed responses that can be further analyzed. SEM-PLS was used to analyze the data from 263 samples and evaluate the hypotheses. The findings showed that Influencer credibility positively influences consumers' hedonic motives, which influence online impulsive buying behavior. On the other hand, the sensory shopping experience does not have a significant effect in moderating the relationship between hedonic motives and online impulsive buying behavior. Keywords: Influencer credibility, hedonic motives, online impulsive buying behavior, sensory shopping experience
