Abstract

This paper reports on research on the antecedents of Word of Mouth (WOM) behavior among Iranian women in the context of grocery shopping. Using a survey instrument, we empirically test the conceptual model of De Matos and Rossi (2008). We find support for the model and find satisfaction, commitment, loyalty, trust, perceived value and quality to be significant antecedents of WOM. Commitment is found to be the most significant predictor of WOM. Our research appears to be the first study of WOM in the context of Iranian grocery retailing and provides useful insight for academics and practitioners. Key words: Word of mouth; consumer behaviour; grocery retailing; Iran
