Abstract
. The study focuses on investigating the fashion clothing buying behaviour and potential brand loyalty within Generation Y by using buying antecedents, demographic, and behavioural variables. Samples of 400 people (Romanians/South Africans) were considered in a step-by-step methodology, using principal component analysis and logistic regressions. A rational buying behaviour for both nationalities was displayed, influenced by magazines and scholarship/bursary (Romanian sample), and celebrities, TV advertisements, buying frequency and budget for clothes (South African sample). Brand loyalty was established only for the South African sample. This study enriches the literature by exhibiting an intra-Generation Y image and extending this cohort’s heterogeneity view through the uncovered brand loyalty differences. Managers can position fashion clothing brands for Generation Y based on rational buying motives, using magazines or endorsers in TV advertisements. The model can be improved by including the number of brands purchased from one clothing category, employing more metric scales, and other predictors.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
