Impacts of consumers’ beliefs, desires and emotions on their impulse buying behavior: application of an integrated model of belief-desire theory of emotion

Purpose: This empirical study explores a complex combination of four realms of the experience economy in formulating memories and satisfaction among festival visitors using augmented reality (AR), thus engaging visitors in the physical science experience. This study also identifies necessary conditions to achieve desired responses from visitors. Design/methodology/approach: Asymmetrical modelling with fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was used to investigate causal recipes of two configurations of the experience economy and evaluation of experience leading to both high and low scores from visitor engagement. Necessary condition analysis (NCA) was applied to examine necessary predictors in visitor engagement. The proposed configuration model was tested using data obtained from visitors to science festivals in the UK. Findings: Five causal recipes explained the complex conditions in which visitors were more likely engaged in AR. Aesthetics, education, entertainment, and satisfaction were necessary for high engagement among festival visitors. Research limitations/implications: Results from fsQCA and analyses of necessary conditions help festival organizers improve visitor satisfaction and engagement in a memorable AR experience. Originality/value: This empirical study deepens current festival understanding of how visitors experience AR by exploring combinations of complex configurations of the experience economy and evaluations of visitor experience based on memories and satisfaction. Unlike symmetrical approaches, asymmetrical modeling using fsQCA can explore recipes for both high and low scores of visitor satisfaction and engagement. This is the first empirical study investigating necessary predictors of festival visitor behavior.

Influence of socio-psychological factors on consumers purchasing behavior in Kazakhstan

This exploratory study investigates the contributions of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to the development of eco-cultural tourism practices undertaken in Central Kazakhstan through the lens of different stakeholders involved in Community Based Tourism (CBT) projects in the country. Empirical research is based on semi structured in-depth structured interviews conducted in 2010 which were carried out with different stakeholders involved in the tourism development of CBT in Central Kazakhstan. Findings reveal that ICTs are used in the forms of Social media networks as well as websites, microblogs, and E-mails. Despite a very positive attitude towards the usage of ICTs, the research also identified a number of barriers to the implementation of ICTs for Community Based Tourism (e-CBT) including the limited number of bookings, the need to develop the online business model as well as a lack of government initiatives to backup the funding of the project.
