This study investigates luxury consumption among Saudi mothers using a quantitative approach and a rich theoretical framework rooted in Veblen’s theory of conspicuous consumption. Structural equation modelling of data collected on a self-reporting questionnaire from 646 Saudi mothers reveals an unexpected social media influence among Saudi mothers that is strongly moderated by variables including extended self-value, brand value, and sociocultural expectations. These findings show that luxury consumption by Saudi mothers is more than a merely economic act. It signals social status, identity, and morals. The discussion and results offer valuable marketing insights tailored to Saudi consumer behaviour, especially within the digital world.

摘要

This study investigates luxury consumption among Saudi mothers using a quantitative approach and a rich theoretical framework rooted in Veblen’s theory of conspicuous consumption. Structural equation modelling of data collected on a self-reporting questionnaire from 646 Saudi mothers reveals an unexpected social media influence among Saudi mothers that is strongly moderated by variables including extended self-value, brand value, and sociocultural expectations. These findings show that luxury consumption by Saudi mothers is more than a merely economic act. It signals social status, identity, and morals. The discussion and results offer valuable marketing insights tailored to Saudi consumer behaviour, especially within the digital world.
