Description

Although e-commerce has taken over consumers’ lives, the effects of technostress on the purchasing intention depending on personality dimensions still lacks coverage in the scientific field. We build on previous literature by focusing on the effect of the Big Five inventory under consideration of technostress and coping strategy on purchasing intention. The aim is to extend the current state of research by analyzing the effects of all Big Five dimensions on purchase intention, mediated by coping strategies and moderated by technostress. Our findings, based on an online survey with 479 participants, show that three personality dimensions have an effect on the chosen coping strategy moderated by technostress. Further, a proactive coping strategy has a positive effect on the purchasing intention of consumers while a reactive coping strategy affects purchase intention negatively. Thereby, we contribute to technostress and consumer psychology research and provide insights for managerial practice (i.e. retailers).
