Consumers’ online impulsive buying behavior has become more and more frequent in the digital era. There is increasing concern regarding the adverse consequences that impulsive buying has generated for consumer wellbeing and the sustainability of our society and environment. In search of a way to decreasing impulsive consumption, this article proposes a comprehensive framework to explore the potential determinants of online impulsive buying behavior from the perspective of consumer characteristics grounded on the literature on sustainability, psychology and consumer behavior. Through an online survey, a total of 425 valid responses were obtained. Extroversion and neuroticism in personality, negative emotions, collectivism in culture and the cognitive and affective factors of impulsive buying tendency are found to be positively correlated with impulsive buying behavior, whereas self-control shows a negative impact on impulsive buying behavior. Furthermore, this study identifies the mediating roles that negative emotions and collectivism play. Specifically, in addition to the direct routes, neuroticism, self-control and the affective factor of impulsive buying tendency can indirectly influence impulsive buying behavior through the mediation of negative emotions, whereas extroversion can indirectly affect impulsive buying behavior with collectivism as the mediator. To conclude, theoretical and practical implications of this research are elaborated to promote sustainable consumption from both the micro and macro perspectives.

Live-streaming technology has been widely adopted to promote the sale of green agricultural products. Based on the literature regarding electronic commerce and customer satisfaction, this article integrates expectation-disconfirmation theory and the SERVQUAL model to investigate the antecedents of customer satisfaction and the routes along which the former drives the latter in the live-streaming commerce of green agricultural products. Our results demonstrate that most consumers are satisfied with the live-streaming commerce of green agricultural products, with an overall satisfaction degree of medium to high. In addition, a total of four antecedents are identified, namely commodity, live-streaming platforms, live-streaming contents and supporting services. Among the variables relevant to commodity, “commodity brand building” has the highest weight. Meanwhile, the corresponding variables for live-streaming platforms, live-streaming contents and supporting services are “interface design”, “live-streaming atmosphere” and “privacy protection”, respectively. Furthermore, live-streaming platforms are found to have the strongest direct influence on customer satisfaction, while commodity is found to have the strongest indirect and total influence on customer satisfaction. The theoretical and managerial implications are discussed at the conclusion of this article.
