The boycott movement against foreign brands affiliated with Israel in Indonesia has intensified as the conflict in Gaza escalates. This study aims to analyse the factors that drive consumer switching to local brands due to this boycott movement, with a focus on food and beverage products. Adopting Social Identity Theory (SIT) and Cognitive Appraisal Theory (CAT), this study examines the influence of situational regional hostility and regional identification mediated by negative emotions (anger and sadness) on consumers' decision to switch to local brands.
This study used a quantitative method with a survey approach involving 142 respondents. Data were analysed using structural regression models. The results showed that situational regional hostility had a significant effect on anger, but insignificant on sadness. Anger has a significant impact on switching to local brands, while sadness has no significant impact on switching to local brands. Regional identification has a positive but insignificant effect on switching to local brands. The findings provide insights for marketers and companies in strategising for changes in consumer behaviour due to social and political factors.
