The Impact of Self-Store Image Congruency on Consumer Engagement and Store Attachment in the Grocery Retail Sector in Kuwait
Afif Fares. Not indexed, 2023
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
This study aims to test a model that investigates the impact of self-store image congruency on the in-store shopping experience in the context of grocery retail setting, which in turn, explain and predict different facets of consumer behavior, including consumer satisfaction, consumer engagement, and store attachment. Structural equation modeling (SEM) tests the structural model of this study and the relationships amongst the constructs being investigated using a sample of 389 supermarket/hypermarket shoppers in Kuwait. The findings of the study indicate that self-store image congruency positively affects the in-store shopping experience in a grocery retail setting. Furthermore, the study suggests that in-store shopping experience has direct and significant impact on consumer engagement and store attachment. Overall, this research advances the understanding of the store image influence on the in-store shopping experience and the consumer/store relationships in a grocery retail context offering important managerial implications for retail success.

How this study scored 12/100
Preprint — not yet peer-reviewed. It scored 12 on the same rubric, which is below the 16 cap we apply to non-peer-reviewed sources. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on impact for its field and year and senior author's track record, so those were left out: it earned 11 of the 90 points we could judge it on, which is 12 out of 100.
