Abstract

The present dissertation concentrates on the factors contributing to consumers' impulse buying behavior in the context of online shopping, and examines the relationships among them within the S-O-R (Stimulus-Organism-Response) theoretical framework. The main constructs of this study are: influencer marketing, scarcity, the fear of missing out (FOMO), impulse buying tendency (IBT), and online impulse buying intention (OIBI). Data were collected through a structured questionnaire via the Google Forms platform. This questionnaire was initially distributed to 309 individuals, with a final sample of 200 respondents.
