Abstract

Perubahan perilaku pembelian konsumen saat ini dipicu oleh literasi teknologi yang semakin tinggi. Pembelian saat ini telah bergeser ke media online. Masyarakat Indonesia memiliki kecenderungan perilaku pembelian impulsif yang tinggi pada media online. Perilaku semacam ini telah banyak banyak diteliti namun masih belum banyak penjelasan mendalam bagaimana Fear of Missing Out berperan sebagai pemicu pembelian impulsif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendalami bagaimana peran emosi dalam perilaku pembelian impulsif. Ditemukan dari penelitian kualitatif ini bahwa fear of missing out yang dirasakan konsumen memicu pembelian impulsive dalam bentuk emosi rasa senang hedonis, emosi rasa takut dan emosi bimbang. Ketiga emosi ini teridentifikasi sebagai hasil dari sensasi FOMO yang dirasakan konsumen.
