内容简介:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the retail supply chain was greatly disrupted. Grocery retailers with larger assortments were hit more, with a greater drop of customer satisfaction. Thus, when companies launch new products in an existing assortment, it is important to identify and target consumers with greater variety-seeking tendency to improve the odds of success. In this research, we propose that power distance belief (PDB) increase consumers’ variety-seeking tendency. A sense of boredom induced by PDB is a key mechanism underlying these effects. A secondary data analysis (Study 1), one behavioral study (Study 2A), four experiments (Studies 2B-5), one field study (Study 6), and a systematic review of previous studies (Study 7) provide converging and robust evidence for the effect of PDB on variety seeking. Consistent with the sense of boredom account, when a sense of boredom is enhanced, low (but not high) PDB consumers’ tendency to seek variety significantly increases compared to baseline conditions. Conversely, when a sense of boredom is mitigated, high (but not low) PDB consumers’ tendency to seek variety significantly decreases. Background color and background music represent natural boundaries for the relationship between PDB and variety seeking. We conclude with specific tools that marketers can use both in online and brick-and-mortar stores to influence consumers’ variety-seeking tendency.
