2 LITERATURE REVIEW AND
HYPOTHESIS
2.1 Literature Review
The Generational Cohort Theory (GCT) by
(Grosjean, 1980) claims that the population can be
grouped by year of birth. Generation is symbolized as
the identification of people who have the same year
of birth, experienced the same life events, and the
same technological developments. In this study, the
authors classify the population by generation,
namely, generation Y and those who like online
fashion shopping.
Trend is something that makes someone observe
what is currently happening. (Asmita, Dola Erianjoni,
2019) The results of this qualitative study reveal that
the development of today's fashion trends has a very
large impact on the consumptive behaviour of
students.
Shopping pleasure is a hedonic attitude related to
how much pleasure consumers get from a product.
(Sarjono, 2018) the results of the study indicate that
the variables of shopping enjoyment and site design
indicate that these variables have a positive and
significant effect on online purchase intentions.
Economic orientation is the perception of
consumers in shopping according to the value or price
of a product. The results of the study (Ari Bowo,
2018) concluded that the socioeconomic status of
parents and peers had a significant effect on online
shopping consumption behaviour in SMA 8
Semarang students.
Brand Value is a combination of perceptions,
impressions and feelings that consumers have about a
product when the product is compared to other similar
products. (Ivoni et al., 2015) Brand orientation
variable has a positive but not significant effect on
online fashion purchase intentions.
2.2 Hypothesis Development
2.2.1 Perceptions That Support Generation
Y in Shopping for Fashion Online

development of current fashion trends has a positive
effect on student consumptive behaviour (Sarjono,

and significant effect on online purchase intentions.
(Ari Bowo, 2018) found that price had a significant
effect on the online shopping consumption behaviour
of students. (Ivoni et al., 2015) found that the brand
orientation variable had a positive but not significant
effect on online purchase intention. (Ladhari et al.,
2019) found that trends, shopping enjoyment,
economic orientation, and brand value have a
significant effect on online fashion shopping
purchase intentions. (Bilgihan, 2016) found that the
brand is also the main point of loyalty. Research
conducted by (Saputri, 2016) which shows that
consumer behaviour in the current technological age
significantly influences purchasing decisions at
Zalora Indonesia.

shop for fashion online.

Generation Y to shop for fashion online.
H1c: Perception of economic orientation influences
Generation Y to shop for fashion online.
