The researched constructs were adjusted and confirmed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. With the help of the statistical program Smart PLS 2.0, the study’s paradigm was applied to the perspectives of 214 respondents in the city of Dhaka. According to the study’s findings, perceived product benefits, environmental concerns, sales promotion, and peer pressure are all significantly positively associated with impulsive purchase behavior.
