This study sought to empirically test the novel Country-of-Reference (COR)-effect by investigating the impact of Westernization on Jordanian youth’s purchasing behavior. The constructs examined were (Social-Identity) Self-Discrepancy, eWOM, and Herd Behavior in relation to Western COR and subsequently, purchase behavior. The data was collected in two phases; semi-structured in-depth interviews and online surveys. 12 interviews were conducted in total, following the saturation principle. Moreover, 232 questionnaire responses were gathered, through convenience sampling and snowballing techniques. The study substantiated the existence of strong links between (social identity) self-discrepancy, eWOM, herding behavior, and Western COR. In addition, proved Western COR’s mediating role between the variables and purchase behavior. Conclusively, all the proposed hypotheses were corroborated qualitatively and quantitatively. Researchers looking to further study the COR-effect should consider possible time, budget, and language restraints. As well as extend the literature to varying age groups and geographical areas. Moreover, it might be interesting to explore the COR concept in diverse industries and through a comparative research approach. This research paper analyzed a new notion of understanding consumer behavior. More specifically, it is the first to assess the role Westernization plays in Jordanian youth consumers’ consumption behaviors. Further, the findings presented in this study can aid businesses and boost the economy, through encouraging “shop local” communication strategies.

Coffee shops have now evolved into an integral part of the modern lifestyle embraced by today's youth, especially by Generation Z. This study aims to understand the role of technology, specifically through Social Media Usage (SMU) and Electronic Word-Of Mouth (eWOM), and how trust as a mediator affects purchase intention and subsequently impacts customer loyalty. This study involved 282 respondents from diverse backgrounds. The sampling technique employed both snowballing and random sampling methods. For analysis, the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was utilized. In the study, several relationships were tested for their significance. The relationship between SMU and Trust was found to be significant. However, the relationship between eWOM and Trust was not significant. Trust significantly influenced Purchase Intention and Customer Loyalty. The direct relationship between Purchase Intention and Customer Loyalty was not significant. Moreover, the mediated relationships of SMU through Trust to Purchase Intention were significant, while the mediated relationship of eWOM through Trust to Purchase Intention was found to be non-significant. This investigation illuminates the distinct confluence of age-old values and contemporary digital interactions in sculpting consumer behavior within Indonesia. It accentuates the imperative for coffee shop enterprises to discern and synergize with these trends to guarantee enduring prosperity.
