The influence of consumer personality traits on mobile shopping intention La influencia de los rasgos de personalidad del consumidor en la intenci on de compra m ovil Zaira Camoiras-Rodriguez and Concepci on Varela Department of Business Organization and Marketing, University of Santiago de Compostela, Santiago de Compostela, Spain Abstract Purpose –This study aims to increase the understanding of the drivers of mobile shopping, by analyzing when and how two personality traits –value consciousness and shopping enjoyment –impact mobile shopping intention through usefulness and ease-of-use perceptions. Design/methodology/approach –To test the conditioned indirect effects, path analysis is used. Findings –The results indicate that both consumers’value consciousness and shopping enjoyment have a positive indirect effect on mobile shopping intention. However, shopping enjoyment is related only through usefulness, whereas value consciousness is related via both usefulness and ease of use. The results also suggest the need to consider boundary conditions when examining the impact of personality traits. Practical implications –Mobile retailers need to conduct market segmentation based on users’ personalities when trying to increase their customer base. Originality/value –Despite the relevance of personality traits on individual behavior, studies on the effects that different aspects of personality have on the participation of individuals in mobile commerce are very scarce and show inconsistent results regarding their impact. Thus, this study tries to contribute to the mobile commerce research by analyzing the interplay between two customer characteristics and two mediating variables: ease-of-use and usefulness perceptions.

Introduction Online sales have been growing nonstop in recent years, and their importance in regards to total retail sales is forecast to continue growing in the coming years (eMarketer, 2019). Mobile commerce, which refers to shopping activities via mobile devices (Ko et al.,2009), comprised over a quarter of total e-commerce in 2019 –more than doubling since 2015, and is expected to be the preferred channel for online shopping within the next five years, in turn driving growth (Business Insider Intelligence, 2019). The reason is a population of mobile service users that surpasses several million nowadays, establishing an important market for mobile service firms (Calvo-Porral and Nieto-Mengotti, 2019). Meanwhile, Grewal et al. (2018), when analyzing the effect of the use of smartphones in stores, found that consumers “spend more time in the store, attend to shelf information more, and divert from their normal path more often, which ultimately increases the amount they purchase”(p. 121). Thus, firms are interested in increasing m-shopping adoption because of its potential contribution to their sales objectives and its positive impact on consumer experiences. Previous mobile commerce studies have analyzed several factors or drivers to explain its consumer adoption (Groß, 2015a;Hubert et al.,2017;Ko et al., 2009;Liébana-Cabanillas et al., 2017;Sujatha and Sekkizhar, 2019) and have examined different types of mobile commerce innovations (e.g. mobile banking, Shankar et al., 2020;Shareef et al., 2018; mobile shopping apps, McLean et al.,2020;Sarkar et al.,2019; and mobile payment, Liu et al., 2019a,2019b; Zhang and Mao, 2020), using different theoretical models (e.g. diffusion of innovations theory, theory of reasoned action (TRA), technology acceptance model and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology). Out of the different theoretical approaches to innovation adoption, the technology acceptance model (TAM; Davis, 1989) is widely accepted (Venkatesh and Davis, 2000) and has been compared favorably to other models, such TRA and theory of planned behavior SJME 24,3 332 (TPB) (Lu, 2014;Wu et al.,2011). Moreover, it has been previously used to empirically analyze mobile shopping adoption (Ald as-Manzano et al., 2009;Chen et al., 2018;Liébana- Cabanillas et al.,2017;San-Martín et al., 2013;Sujatha and Sekkizhar, 2019). Although previous empirical studies have contributed significantly to the understanding of the factors that drive m-shopping adoption, there are inconsistencies in the obtained results. These inconsistencies may be due to the fact that investigations about mobile shopping acceptance have mainly focused on direct effects without paying attention to indirect effects (Hubert et al.,2017). As a result, mobile shopping adoption continues to attract the attention of practitioners and academics (Sohn and Groß, 2020). Focusing on the research needs identified above, this study expands TAM and examines how and when two personality traits –shopping enjoyment and value consciousness – relate to mobile shopping intention through perceived ease of use and usefulness. People make purchases for two reasons, hedonic and utilitarian (Jones, 1999). Shopping enjoyment leads individuals to consider the purchase itself as a form of recreation (Kim and Kim, 2008;Wenzel and Benkenstein, 2018), and they obtain psychological rewards from the purchase process itself (Bellenger and Korgaonkar, 1980;Handayani et al.,2018), whereas value consciousness comprises a concern for trying to equilibrate the quality and the price paid for the purchased products and services (Ailawadi et al., 2001). In other words, shopping enjoyment represents an individual’s personality trait, linking the pleasure and enjoyable aspects that a consumer derives with the shopping process/activities, regardless of the utilitarian consequences that may be anticipated; whereas value consciousness represents an individual’s personality trait related to being rational and functionally driven in the shopping process (Wang et al.,2018). This investigation considers usefulness and ease-of-use perceptions as drivers of the influence of shopping enjoyment and value consciousness on mobile shopping intention. By doing so, it infuses TAM with personality traits to obtain a better understanding of the factors that influence mobile shopping adoption. Moreover, in technology-mediated environments, consumer characteristics could play a significant role as moderators of relationships when predicting consumer mobile shopping adoption (Yang, 2012). Thus, this study also analyzes the moderating role of both value consciousness and shopping enjoyment on the usefulness perception–mobile shopping adoption and ease-of-use perception mobile shopping adoption relationships. Hence, it develops and empirically tests a moderated mediation model of m-shopping adoption based on the TAM framework that incorporates personality traits. This investigation makes several relevant contributions to the mobile shopping literature. First, it builds on prior research on mobile shopping by adding previously unanalyzed personality traits –shopping enjoyment and value consciousness –to the still scarce research that relates personality traits to mobile shopping intention (Ald as-Manzano et al.,2009;Mahatanankoon, 2007;Zhou and Lu, 2011). Personality traits have been considered in prior research as key elements to the acceptance of new technologies and to the participation of individuals in online markets (Chang et al., 2013). However, this study’s theoretical approach has not been used in previous research examining the determinants of mobile shopping adoption. Mahatanankoon (2007) investigated whether three personality traits (individual playfulness, personal innovativeness and optimum stimulation level) could explain m-commerce intention. Ald as-Manzano et al.’s (2009) study proposed that, together with TAM, three personality variables (innovativeness, affinity and compatibility) are related to mobile shopping intention. Finally, Zhou and Lu (2011) analyzed whether five personality traits (agreeableness, conscientiousness, extroversion, openness to experience and neuroticism) influence user trust and perceived usefulness, which in turn Influence of consumer personality traits 333 determine acceptance intention of mobile commerce. None of these studies examines indirect and/or moderation effects of personality. Second, by analyzing the mediating role of usefulness and ease-of-use perceptions in the shopping enjoyment mobile shopping adoption and value-consciousness mobile shopping adoption relationships, it improves understanding of the intervening mechanisms between shopping enjoyment and value consciousness and its outcomes. Third, it also contributes to the literature by examining the moderator role of both value consciousness and shopping enjoyment on the usefulness perception mobile shopping adoption and ease-of-use perception mobile shopping adoption relationships. Accordingly, this study extends prior literature by illustrating how and when personality traits related to shopping motivations result in m-shopping adoption; in addition, it responds to several calls to examine moderating and mediating effects in the TAM (Faqih and Jaradat, 2015;Okazaki and Mendez, 2013). 2. Literature review and hypotheses The basic framework for the proposed model involves the two original variables of TAM: perceived usefulness and ease of use (Chong et al., 2012). Both variables encompass internal perceptions of users (Zhang et al.,2012) and have been widely recognized as strong predictors of individuals’intention to accept or use new technologies (Chi, 2018;Sujatha and Sekkizhar, 2019;Venkatesh et al.,2012). In particular, the m-shopping literature review by Groß (2015b) shows that adoption intention is strongly affected by perceptions of usefulness (performance expectancy) and ease of use (effort expectancy). Perceived usefulness refers to the degree to which the use of a certain system will improve its users’performance at work (Davis, 1989). In the case of mobile commerce, perceived usefulness covers the degree of utility that the users of this market would assign to the possibility of making purchases through mobile devices. Perceived ease of use is defined as the degree to which a person considers the use of a particular system to be effortless (Davis, 1989). In mobile commerce, ease of use refers to how easy the individual finds searching for the different products, paying for the purchase or even obtaining after-sales service through mobile devices (Shang et al.,2005). In addition to these two key mediators, researchers have identified various antecedents of mobile commerce adoption (Groß, 2015a;Hubert et al.,2017;Ko et al., 2009;Liébana- Cabanillas et al., 2017;Sujatha and Sekkizhar, 2019). Hubert et al. (2017) have classified these into three groups: mobile benefits, customer characteristics and/or risk perception/costs of using mobile shopping. This study focuses on two customer characteristics, as mobile service users cannot be seen as a uniform group (Calvo-Porral and Otero-Prada, 2020). Psychological studies have demonstrated that individual behavior is significantly affected by personality traits (Balta et al.,2019;Costa and McCrae, 1992;Woods et al.,2018). Previous research has emphasized the need to incorporate personality traits in technology adoption research to obtain a greater knowledge of their possible effects (Wixom and Todd, 2005). The motive is that personality traits are quite unchanging and not transitory as other kinds of individual characteristics such as moods, attitudes and income (Smith, 2020). However, despite the effect of personality on individual behavior, the existing knowledge about the effects that different traits of personality have on the participation of individuals in online environments, such as mobile commerce, is very scarce (Chang et al., 2013;Groß, 2015b). Consequently, this investigation examines two personality traits: consumer value consciousness, a personality trait tied to a utilitarian approach, and shopping enjoyment, a personality trait linked to a hedonic approach, because research typically explains consumer purchasing or usage behavior as being based on utilitarian and hedonic values (Childers et al.,2001;Moon et al., 2017;Ozturk et al.,2016;Zanjani et al., 2016;Zheng et al.,2019). SJME 24,3 334 Allport (1937) considered personality as “the dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine his unique adjustment to his environment” (p. 48). This characterization advocates for the analysis of personality traits, which are defined as “a neuropsychic structure having the capacity to render many stimuli functionally equivalent and to initiate and guide equivalent (meaningfully consistent) forms of adaptive and expressive behavior”(Allport, 1961, p. 347). The trait theory distinguishes individuals based on a comprehensive but limited group of unchanging dispositions that determine an extensive number of important behaviors (Allport, 1937;Funder, 1991; Goldberg, 1993;Wiggins and Pincus, 1992). Social psychological studies have proposed various multidimensional frameworks for the structure of personality. A widely accepted personality model is the so-called Big Five or five-factor model (Goldberg, 1993;McCrae, 1989). This model exposes an integrative personality approach that covers the wide range of human personality and posits that personality traits can be reduced and categorized under five main factors: agreeableness, conscientiousness, extroversion, openness to experience and neuroticism. However, personality variables have been criticized for having low levels of criterion-related validity, and this can be partly explained by the presumption that all the predictive variance in the personality domain is limited to the variance associated with the Big Five dimensions (Ones et al., 2005). The Big Five dimensions have been considered to be traits that are too general and abstract to explain specific behaviors, such as m-shopping adoption. On the other hand, social psychology researchers have provided consistent evidence for the hierarchical organization of personality (Soto and John, 2017). Mowen (2000),for example, proposes a four-level hierarchy of personality traits that motivate consumer behavior. According to this hierarchical approach to personality, narrowly defined traits have behavioral connotations and can predict closely matched criteria with greater accuracy than broad traits, like the Big Five dimensions (Ashton et al.,1995;Paunonen and Ashton, 2001). Therefore, instead of using a broad personality model, such as the Big Five, this investigation incorporates narrowly defined personality traits that are expected to be very closely related to mobile shopping. In Mowen’s (2000) hierarchy, consumer shopping enjoyment and value consciousness are situational traits, because they reflect durable dispositions to behave in a specific way within a general situational context, in particular, in the context of purchasing products and services (Mowen et al.,2007). As situational traits are closer to behavior than broad traits such as the Big Five, they can be considered proximal personality traits to m-shopping adoption and can be expected to account for more variance in behavior than the more basic dispositions. The proposed relationship model is presented in Figure 1. Figure 1. Research model Influence of consumer personality traits 335 2.1 Consumer shopping enjoyment Shopping enjoyment is considered as one of the main shopping orientations (Brosdahl and Carpenter, 2011) and one of the main determinants of consumer attitude and behavior (Hamari et al.,2016;Seock and Bailey, 2008;Soet al., 2018). Martínez-L opez et al. (2016) found that intrinsic enjoyment is the most significant hedonic motivation in online consumption behavior. Consumer shopping enjoyment is defined as a personality trait that leads individuals to take on purchases with a more pleasant attitude and with greater pleasure than others (Wong et al., 2012). It represents individuals who enjoy shopping as a leisure time activity and find shopping to be a very enjoyable use of time, regardless of the utilitarian consequences that may be anticipated (Bellenger and Korgaonkar, 1980). In other words, shopping enjoyment refers to the pleasure that an individual experiences when involved in the purchasing process (Beatty and Ferrell, 1998), and consequently, the favorable predisposition of an individual to make purchases of goods or services. To these individuals, making purchases gives them joy and pleasure (Babin et al.,1994;Wenzel and Benkenstein, 2018). For consumers who enjoy shopping, the purchase itself is a form of recreation, sometimes becoming their favorite leisure time activity (Kim and Kim, 2008). In past research, shopping enjoyment has been identified as one of the antecedents of consumers’search for information (Beatty and Smith, 1987;Hoffman and Novak, 1996). Therefore, consumers who enjoy making purchases will probably spend more time browsing in search of products and services and will also enjoy it more each time. With regard to mobile shopping, this technology offers individuals the possibility of browsing, searching for information and making purchases from a mobile device anywhere and at any time, allowing them to enjoy even more an activity that already brings them pleasure (Paypal, 2018;Rahman et al.,2018; Seock and Bailey, 2008); thus, mobile commerce provides them with an added utility compared to other markets. Thus, we expect that the more the people enjoy shopping, the more usefulness they will get from mobile shopping. Moreover, consumers who obtain enjoyment from shopping will probably like shopping and not mind having to spend additional time engaging in wide shopping searches (Konus et al., 2008). In this line, Kim et al. (2019) argue that individuals with a high shopping enjoyment orientation tend to enjoy the time invested in extensive searching, regardless of having to change store and (shopping) channel. These kinds of consumers can be considered experienced shoppers, as they will have accumulated experience in the management of the shopping task and process (Riquelme and Rom an, 2014). Therefore, we maintain that the high levels of knowledge and experience of consumers who enjoy shopping will help them to mobile shop, thus increasing their perception of mobile shopping’s ease of use: H1. Consumer shopping enjoyment has (a) a positive impact on usefulness perception and (b) a positive impact on ease-of-use perception. Entertainment plays a very important role for individuals who show a high preference for shopping enjoyment (Ailawadi et al.,2001). In this context, previous research reflects that for recreational shoppers, the level of gratification obtained during the process of shopping per se is greater than that obtained with the products and services purchased (Westbrook and Black, 1985). Consequently, in the case of individuals who enjoy making purchases, the effect on their buying behavior of the aspects that help them enjoy these activities or facilitate and complement this pleasant activity will be heightened (Kim and Kim, 2008; Rahman et al., 2018). In other words, for these individuals, it will be more important to enjoy the purchase and, therefore, for the purchase process through the mobile to be easy and SJME 24,3 336 pleasant; conversely, for these individuals, the usefulness that can be obtained from mobile buying compared to other shopping channels will be less relevant, as they do not buy for utilitarian reasons and, hence will not be so interested in improving their shopping performance: H2. Consumer shopping enjoyment moderates the positive impact of m-shopping usefulness and ease-of-use perceptions on mobile buying intention so that the greater the consumer’s shopping enjoyment (a) the lower the impact of usefulness perception and (b) the greater the impact of ease-of-use perception. 2.2 Consumer value consciousness In online shopping, according to Martínez-L opez et al. (2016), economy is one of the most significant utilitarian motivations. The 2017 Global Online Consumer Report (KPMG International, 2017) shows that two of the main reasons to shop online instead of in stores are price-related: ability to compare prices and online sale/better prices. Value consciousness refers to a concern for paying a reduced price for a given level of quality (Ailawadi et al., 2001). In other words, it is a personality trait that represents the level to which individuals show a predisposition to try to equilibrate the quality and the price paid for their purchased products and services (Lichtenstein et al.,1990). Value-conscious individuals’underlying motive is to be –and show significant third parties that they are – “smart shoppers”by obtaining the best value for money (Delgado-Ballester et al.,2014). Consequently, consumers with higher value consciousness are more rational and functionally driven (Wang et al.,2018). Most consumers, when the product requirements are satisfied, favor the option with the lowest price. Nevertheless, high value-conscious consumers are more concerned with the benefit–cost ratio than other consumers, which causes them to search harder for products and services to maximize the value obtained (Lichtenstein et al.,1990). Hence, valueconscious consumers worry about both low prices and product quality (Ismail, 2017;Riorini, 2018) and are inclined to rely on information as the basis of their intention to make more accurate decisions and secure the best value for money (Pillai and Kumar, 2012). Consequently, value-conscious consumers spend more time collecting relevant information about products and services, and they are also likely to check and compare the prices of different brands to obtain the best possible value for money (Itani et al.,2019). Given that mobile shopping offers individuals the possibility of browsing, searching for information and making purchases from a mobile device wherever and whenever they want, it provides an added benefit compared to other markets, especially for those individuals with high value consciousness, who are more concerned about getting additional product information. Likewise, it can also be expected that high value-conscious consumers, who are used to actively seeking relevant product information, will be experienced shoppers who have accumulated additional shopping experience. Therefore, as reasoned with shopping enjoyment, we argue that the higher experience and knowledge of value-conscious consumers will help them to mobile shop, thus making them perceive mobile shopping as easier to use: H3. Consumer value consciousness has (a) a positive impact on m-shopping usefulness perception, and (b) a positive impact on m-shopping ease-of-use perception. Individuals with high levels of value consciousness tend to try to maximize the value obtained in all their transactions (Dutta and Biswas, 2005), not only from an economic point Influence of consumer personality traits 337 of view but also from a utilitarian point of view. High value-conscious consumers have a high concern for utility, seeking to obtain it not only in the products acquired but also through the channels used (Lichtenstein et al., 1990). At the same time, compared to other consumers, high value-conscious consumers will make extra effort to look for products that provide the best value (Lichtenstein et al., 1990); in other words, they are used to putting effort and work into, among other things, reviewing and comparing products’prices and quality (Mowen, 2000). Thus, for these consumers, ease of use will not be such a determining factor when making a decision, as they are used to working to improve the purchasing process, while usefulness will be even more important, as utility governs their shopping behavior in every sense: H4. Consumer value consciousness moderates the positive impact of m-shopping usefulness and ease-of-use perceptions on mobile buying intention so that the greater the consumer’s value consciousness (a) the greater the impact of usefulness perception and (b) the lower the impact of ease-of-use perception. 3. Methodology 3.1 Sample The proposed hypotheses were studied in a convenience sample of individuals who have mobile devices with Internet access. Data were collected through personal interviews using a structured survey. The number of valid surveys obtained was 208. 3.2 Measurement scales To measure the constructs considered in this study, we used five-point Likert scales adapted from previous investigations to the specifics of m-shopping. The constructs comprised in the TAM, i.e. mobile shopping intention, usefulness and ease of use, were measured using three, four and four items, respectively, extracted from Venkatesh et al. (2012). Regarding the personality trait variables, value consciousness was measured using seven items extracted from Lichtenstein et al. (1990), and shopping enjoyment was measured using four items extracted from Seock and Bailey (2008). Appendices 1 and 2 show the scales’measures and descriptive statistics. 3.3 Psychographic properties of the scales To ensure correct usage of the scales, a measurement model of all the constructs was subjected to confirmatory factor analysis using EQS. The results of the measurement model are included in Appendix 1. The overall robust fit indices are indicative of a good fit of the model to the data. Regarding reliability, all variables have a Cronbach’s a greater than 0.7, a composite reliability (CR) greater than 0.6 and an average variance extracted (AVE) greater than 0.5. In addition, convergent validity is supported (all lambda parameters are greater than 0.5 and are statistically significant) as well as discriminant validity (correlations among all variables show confidence intervals that do not include the unit value, and their squared value does not exceed the AVE of the factors involved), as shown in Appendix 2. 3.4 Analytical strategy Together, the proposed relationships imply a moderated mediation process (Bauer et al., 2006;Edwards and Lambert, 2007). A moderated mediation process entails that the indirect effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable, via the mediator, differs in strength across low and high levels of the moderator (Edwards and Lambert, 2007). In other SJME 24,3 338 words, for moderated mediation to exist, there must be different conditional indirect relationships between consumer shopping enjoyment and value consciousness and mobile shopping intention via usefulness and ease of use across low and high levels of the moderators. To assess the proposed moderated mediation process, we carried out path analysis using Stata (Table 1), following the steps outlined by Preacher et al. (2007). Path analysis offers the possibility to model the relationships among multiple independent and dependent constructs simultaneously, showing a more complete picture of the whole model (Bullock et al.,1994) while eliminating the complexity of using latent variables in a moderated mediation model. Thus, we substituted the constructs by the average score of the indicators, grouping them in a single measure. Moreover, to avoid problems when interpreting some coefficients, given the measurement scales of some of the considered variables (which do not include the value zero), the variables involved in the interaction terms were centered on the mean. 4. Results The results reported in Table 1 reveal that perceived usefulness and ease of use have a positive effect on mobile shopping intention. The findings also show that shopping enjoyment has a positive impact on perceived usefulness so that higher levels of shopping enjoyment relate to greater perceived usefulness with the use of mobile shopping; thus, supporting H1a. However, there is no significant relationship between shopping enjoyment and perceived ease of use; therefore, H1 b is not supported. Regarding the impact of value consciousness, the results reveal that it has a positive effect on both perceived usefulness and ease of use. H3a and H3b are, therefore, supported, so higher levels of value Table 1.
