Methodology/Technique A total of 270 samples were collected through online. Factor analysis and multiple linear regression were conducted in this research. Findings The result shows that personality and hedonic motivations are positively related to online impulse buying, whereas emotions are not positively related to online impulse buying. Type of Paper: Empirical paper Novelty : Previous research had focused more on the external factors that influence online impulse buying.
