Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the effect of information reliability, risk, and value consciousness on hedonic behaviour, attitude towards counterfeit products, and genuine store trustworthiness. Using a structured survey instrument, this paper gathered data from 449 respondents from three cities major cities (Kochi, Bangalore, and Chennai) in southern part of India. The hierarchical regression render support that: 1) information reliability is positively related to hedonic behaviour and attitude towards counterfeit products; 2) risk is negatively related to hedonic behaviour and attitude towards counterfeit products; 3) value consciousness is positively related to hedonic behaviour and genuine store trustworthiness; 4) hedonic behaviour and attitude towards products are related to purchase intention. In addition, the results also support the moderation hypotheses of materialism, value consciousness and social status. The study suggests that marketers need to understand the importance of non-deceptive counterfeiting is useful and consumers have tendency to prefer to use these products once they are satisfied with their utility. The conceptual model developed and tested in this research enables the marketing managers to understand the antecedents of consumers' purchase intention of counterfeit products.
