👁 1 view📥 0 downloads
Abstract: There have been considerable changes in the consumer spending behaviour of working adults due to fluctuating income levels, greater reliance on digital payment systems, and changing lifestyle preferences. However, there is a lack of empirical research on how these factors collectively determine consumer spending patterns within the regional setting. This paper fills the void by empirically investigating the factors influencing consumer spending behaviour among working adults.
The study is aimed at investigating how income level, digital payment adoption, and lifestyle combined with social influence affect consumer spending patterns. The research team went for a quantitative research methodology. Primary data were gathered from working adults via a structured questionnaire. A convenient sampling method was used to pick the sample of respondents. Descriptive statistics and inferential techniques were utilized to analyse the data and to establish the link between the independent variables and consumer spending patterns.
Main Discoveries of The Study Among the main findings of the research, the investigators highlight the fact that a person's income level profoundly determines their ability to spend as well as the buying decisions they make. Embracing digital payment methods has been shown to increase the level of convenience when making a transaction and the buying frequency. Besides these two factors, lifestyle and social influence also played a +strong+ role in determining product choice as well as expenditure priorities among the working adults.
In sum, the study suggests that consumer spending behavior is influenced not only by the money they earn but also by technology and social factors. The findings can serve as a handy tool for marketing professionals and banks as well as for government officials in their efforts to come up with the right tactics and encourage people to spend wisely
