How does my personality affect my return behavior? : Quantitative study about the big-five model, opportunistic and legitimate return behavior (English)
Abstract [sv]

De senaste åren har den digitala utvecklingen lett till stor utveckling inom konsumenters köpbeteenden online. I takt med att det uppkommit fler aktörer på marknaden har e-handelsföretag konkurrerat inom pris, fraktalternativ och andra kostnader för att underlätta köpupplevelsen för kunder. Det har lett till att kundens köpbeteende förändras och produkt returerna ökat. Studien undersöker konsumenters returbeteende inom e-handel kopplat till konsumentens personlighet för att hitta samband i beteenden som kan bidra till kunskap kring vilka personlighetsdimensioner som är mer benägna att returnera varor. För att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan konsumentens personlighetsdimensioner och returbeteende testar studien hypoteser utformade efter femfaktorsteorins dimensioner och de legitima- samt opportunistiska returbeteendet. Studien kommer att bidra med vidare forskning inom returbeteende genom en enkätundersökning av svenska konsumenter. Slutsatsen som kan dras i studien är att vissa personlighetsdimensioner kan kopplas till opportunistiskt och legitimt returbeteende. Denna studie har kunnat visa att neuroticism, välvillighet och samvetsgrannhet är viktiga faktorer som påverkar en individs returbeteende. Den har även visat att det finns ett stort behov av framtida forskning inom området, eftersom det finns indikationer till fler samband. 

Abstract [en]

This essay is in Swedish. In recent years, digital developments have led to major developments in consumers' purchasing behavior online. As more players emerged in the market, e-commerce companies have competed on price, shipping options and other costs to facilitate the shopping experience for customers. This has led to a change in the customer's buying behavior and an increase in product returns. The study examines the return behavior of artifacts in e-commerce linked to the consumer's personality in order to find connections in behaviors that can contribute to knowledge about which personality dimensions are more likely to return goods. To investigate whether there is a relationship between the consumer's personality dimensions and return behavior, the study tests hypotheses designed according to the dimensions of the five-factor theory and the legitimate and opportunistic return behavior. The study will contribute to further research in return behavior through a survey of Swedish consumers. The conclusion that can be drawn in the study is that certain personality dimensions can be linked to opportunistic and legitimate return behavior. This study has been able to show that neuroticism, agreeableness and conscientiousness are important factors that influence an individual's return behavior. It has also shown that there is a great need for future research in the area, as there are indications of more connections.
