Social Comparison, FOMO, dan Materialism sebagai Mediator Imitation of Influencers terhadap Purchase Intention Generasi Muda
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of imitating influencers on the purchase intention of Corkcicle products with the mediating role of social comparison, fear of missing out (FOMO), and materialism in the Millennial generation and Gen Z in Indonesia. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique. This study uses a quantitative approach with an online survey method through Google Forms, involving 210 respondents who are active on social media and familiar with Corkcicle products. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) and data processing using SmartPLS. Results indicate that imitation of influencers has a significant influence on social comparison and materialism and that social comparison mediates the relationship between imitation of influencers with FOMO and materialism. Furthermore, FOMO and materialism mediate the link between social comparison and purchase intention. These findings offer new insights into the influence of imitating influencers on purchase intention, which can be utilized by Corkcicle to plan a strategy for more effective influencer-based marketing.
