Abstract—Understanding the factors that influence
consumers to buy impulsively in an online context has become
increasingly important to businesses nowadays in order to help
them stay competitive in the intensively competitive e-commerce
market. Though existing literature has demonstrated how a
website can improve the shopping experience and influence
online shoppers to buy impulsively, the focus is more on design
and quality dimensions such as visual appeal, website
navigability, ease of use, etc. A more detailed analysis of how the
advanced technology-supported website stimuli like
recommender system, information search, customer services,
and privacy & data security influence the consumer shopping
experience and impulse buying behavior is still needed. Based on
a Stimulus-Organism-Response model’s conceptual framework
and 403 valid respondents collected via an online questionnaire,
this study aims to identify and explore the influence of advanced
technology-supported website stimuli on customer satisfaction
and online impulse buying behavior in the Malaysian context.
The results showed that the recommender system, information
search, and customer service had a significant influence on
customer satisfaction, and the latter significantly impacted
online impulse buying behavior.
Keywords—customer satisfaction, online impulse buying,
website stimuli
