While personalization can benefit consumers, its features still reflect potential threats which may lead to consumer boycotts, such as privacy issues. Based on the multidimensional development theory and psychological contract violation, this study explores the mechanism of consumer boycott to personalization marketing from the comprehensive perspective, examines and distinguishes the different roles of situation (customization, advancement, and privacy control) and personal trait (personal innovativeness) in the formation of boycott. This study will help personalization providers to successfully manage their relationships with consumers, avoid boycotts and achieve marketing goals.
