How Power Distance Belief Changes the Role of Physical Distance in Consumer Evaluations of the Salesperson and Purchase Decisions
Power distance belief (PDB) moderates the effect of physical proximity of a salesperson on consumer reactions such that physical proximity negatively (positively) affects salesperson evaluations and purchase decisions by low-PDB (high-PDB) consumers. This effect is driven by perceptions of (dis)respect and further manifested in actual purchases in retail stores.
