The research used quantitative approach to collect the data; 500 questionnaires were distributed to a Non-Proportional Quota sample at three shopping malls in Cairo “City Stars Mall, Cairo Festival City Mall and Sun City Mall”. The data collected from the questionnaires were statistically analyzed using SPSS and AMOS 22 programs to conduct a Structured Equation Model, Confirmatory Factor Analysis and a Path Analysis. The results showed that Hedonic Shopping Motivations had a significant effect on the purchase intention of Egyptian consumers at shopping malls in Cairo; however, Utilitarian shopping motivations didn’t have a significant effect on the purchase intention. Moreover, females had a significant effect as moderating variable on the relation between hedonic shopping motivations and the purchase intention, while, Males acting as a moderating variable had a significant effect on the relation between utilitarian shopping motivations and the purchase intention. Besides, Promotion focused orientation had a significant effect as a moderating variable on the relation between hedonic shopping motivations and purchase intention while prevention focused orientation had a significant effect as a moderating variable on the relation between utilitarian shopping motivations and purchase intention. The results of this research can be used by marketers at shopping malls to provide them with a full understanding of the consumers’ shopping motivations, gender and regulatory focus characteristics and their effect on their purchase intention. As a result, they can adjust the stores setup to match the needs of consumers with different shopping motivations and characteristics that will increase their purchase |
