    Abstract

    Counterfeit products are defined as identical copies of authentic products and account for at

    least five percent of the world’s trade. Counterfeit products have been found to be a serious

    problem around the world. It is a lame issues from a long time ago that are never resolved.

    Various studies were carried out to find the underlying reasons why consumer purchase

    counterfeits product. This paper sets out to examine to what extend does behavioural

    intention influences consumers to purchase counterfeit products. An intercept survey

    approach involved 390 respondents was conducted at hot-spot areas selling counterfeit

    products in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Baharu. A self-administered questionnaire

    was designed using established scales. A variety of statistical techniques were used to

    analyze the data. Analyses conducted reveals that consumer intention explains large percent

    of the variation in consumer purchase behavior of counterfeit products. This indicates that

    consumer intention has high explanatory power to predict consumer behavior of purchasing

    counterfeit products. The study provides an understanding of Malaysian consumers’

    behavioral intention and purchase behaviour of counterfeit products.

    Introduction

    Undeniably, counterfeiting, or piracy, is a big business. Counterfeit products are defined as

    identical copies of authentic products and account for at least five percent of the world’s trade

    (Carpenter & Lear, 2011). Over the years, counterfeiting products have embellished the

    market alongside with original brands.

    In fact, a recent study by Chaudary, Ahmed, Gill and Rizwan (2014) acknowledged the

    alarming advent of worldwide economic phenomenon of counterfeiting. Counterfeit products

    have been found to be a serious problem around the world in recent days (Hendriana et al.,

    2013). Counterfeiting is such a problem that causes havoc not only in economic activities but

    also affect social life as well.

    Phau and Teah (2009) identified two categories of consumers who buy counterfeit, namely

    (i) deceptive counterfeit consumer (victim, unknowingly purchase the pirated products as

    look similar) and (ii) non-deceptive counterfeit consumers (purchase the counterfeit version

    even knew that is illegal). In a similar vein, Grossman and Shapiro (1988) divided the

    business of counterfeits into two types known as deceptive purchase and non-deceptive

    purchase. On one hand, deceptive counterfeit transactions occur when consumer cannot

    readily seen the quality of the goods or differentiate copies from the original during the

    purchasing process; they are the victims. In other words, deceptive counterfeit buyers are not

    aware that the product that they are buying is a counterfeit; as is often happen in the case of

    product categories such as automotive parts, electronics and pharmaceuticals (Grossman &

    Shapiro, 1988). On the other hand, when consumers are aware that they are purchasing

    counterfeits, they are involved in as non-deceptive counterfeit transactions, and they are

    willing collaborators.

    Nevertheless, researchers have generally agreed that in reality, most consumers fall under the

    non-deceptive purchase behaviors (Prendergast et al., 2003). It is particularly obvious in

    luxury market where consumers are often able to distinguish channels and the inferior quality

    of the product itself (Nia & Zaichkowsky, 2000). Since these consumers knowingly purchase

    the products that are not legitimate, the manufacturers and retailers cannot be blamed for

    deceiving the consumers (Ang, Cheng, Lim & Tambyah, 2001). This non deceptive purchase

    of counterfeits contributes to the discussion of consumer misbehavior in the marketplace,

    indicating the need to understand the reasons for their misbehavior (Tatic & Cinjarevic, 2012)

    Although counterfeiting goods are seen to be imitated products of low in quality,

    inexpensive, distasteful, easily available and in certain cases, even unsafe (Trott & Hoecht,

    2007; Nordin, 2009), the “quality” of counterfeit products are seen to have improve

    gradually for the past several years (Budiman, 2012). This improvement has permeated into

    almost every element of counterfeit product especially among premium or luxury products in

    terms of its quality, durability and design (Turunen & Laaksonen, 2011). Therefore, this

    could be one of the underlying reasons why the demand for counterfeit products is increasing.

    This trend might have been getting worst recently (Nordin, 2009; Stravinskiene et al., 2013).

    Rizwan et al. (2013) claim that counterfeiting is “liable for getting grievous monetary and

    societal impairments to both legal manufacturers and society”. Yoo and Lee (2012) further

    emphasize that counterfeiting leads to infringement of intellectual property rights, loss of

    taxes and foreign investment, increment in social cost as well as occurrence of hazardous

    outcomes.

    Thus, counterfeiting has become a serious issue that must be resolved as it able to bring a bad

    impact on national economics (Romani et al., 2012). However, in short, the consequences of

    the counterfeit product, no matter consumers intend to buy or not, have some hostile effect on

    consumers’ welfare as a whole (Haque, Khatibi & Rahman, 2009). Besides, it hampers the

    benefits of the legal (actual producers) manufactures; even endanger the human life.

    In the context of Malaysia, the Malaysian government has been seriously involved and played

    its significant role to eradicate the counterfeiting issue. Many campaigns and activities were

    carried out such as briefings, seminars and workshops with the aim to create awareness

    among Malaysians the on the bad consequences of this unethical behavior. However,

    government laws and enforcement are not sufficient to solve the problem (Stumpf, Chaudhry

    & Perretta, 2011). Despite the worldwide legal sanctions against the manufacturing and the

    consumption of counterfeit products, the problem is expanding rapidly. New ways are

    required to control this phenomenon.

    Prior research on counterfeiting (Bush, Bloch, & Dawson, 1989; Green & Smith, 2002; Nill

    & Shultz, 1996; Olsen & Granzin, 1992) has focused on controlling the supply of counterfeit

    goods (e.g., manufacturer, company, industry, retail channel, and government). However,

    attempting to control the supply of counterfeits has not been successful. Because consumers

    purchase and use counterfeits, what is more important is to study factors that contribute to

    consumer decision making with regard to counterfeit products as a way to determine how to

    gain control over this situation. The present study attempts to fill the gap in the counterfeit

    literature that views the problem from the demand side. After all, it is basic economic

    reasoning that if no demand for counterfeit products exists, supply will erode automatically.

    Thus, as consumers play a leading and growing role in the existence of counterfeit trade (Yoo

    & Lee, 2009), it is important to gain a deeper insight in potential determinants of consumers’

    to knowingly purchase counterfeit goods. In particular, this study focuses on the influences of

    behavioural intention on consumer purchase behaviour of counterfeit products.

    Literature Review

    Behavioural intention is defined as “the motivational factors that influence an individual’s

    readiness to act and to demonstrate the effort they would strive to perform the behaviour”

    (Ajzen, 1991). Armitage & Conner (2001) mention that, with the influence of positive

    attitude and perceive opportunities, a behavioural intention is likely will be performed.

    Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) by Ajzen (1991) stated that behavioural intention is the

    main predictor and regarded as the immediate antecedent of individual behaviour.

    Previous literature indicates that intention has established a significant association between

    intention and behaviour, and accurately predicted a variety of action tendencies. Follows and

    Jobber (2000) found a positive association between green purchase intention and behaviour,

    which the results showed that individuals who perceived the environmental consequences is

    important, would be likely to commit in green purchasing. In the food context, the intention

    to buy or to consume certain types of food is considered to be one of the most important

    behavioural indicators. In meta-analytic review of 185 independent studies, Armitage and

    Conner (2001) reported that intention was the best predictor of future behaviour. In seafood

    consumption studies, it showed that behavioural intention has a significant effect on

    consumption frequency (Verbeke & Vackier, 2005; Tuu et al., 2008). Follows and Jobber

    (2000) also found a positive association between green purchase behavioural intention and

  • Journal of Humanities, Language, Culture and Business (HLCB) Vol. 1: no. 1 (2017) page 1–12 | icohlcb.com | eISSN : 01268147 |

    4

    behaviour, which the results showed that individuals who perceived the environmental

    consequences is important, would be likely to commit in green purchasing. In the middle-east

    market, Fernandes (2012) found that behavioural intention to purchase counterfeit products is

    related to higher likelihood to purchase counterfeits. In the same vein, Riemenschneider,

    Leonard and Manly (2013) has assumed that intention is an accurate proxy for behaviour.

    From the above discussion, it shows that intention influences numerous behavioural

    tendencies in many different setting; and in addition, intention has been established to have a

    significant positive relationship towards behaviour. This shows that it is very important to

    study the construct of behavioural intention and that it cannot be ignored. Ajzen and Fishbein

    (1980) argue that intentions should always translate into behavior given there is

    correspondence between measures of intentions and behavior and that intentions remain

    constant prior to engaging in the behavior. However, intentions can change over time due to

    new information, individual differences or a variety of unexpected factors such as illness or

    injury, financial hardships, family issues or job loss (Ajzen, 1985). Unfortunately, much of

    the research related to unethical behavior such as counterfeit purchase behavior using Theory

    of Planned Behaviour (Bian & Moutinho, 2011) has assumed that intentions are an accurate

    proxy for behavior and neglected the measurement of behavior. Indeed, Armitage and Conner

    (2001) noted in their meta-analysis that most studies do not measure behavior per se.

    Therefore, further empirical research is warranted to examine the predictive power of

    behavioural intention towards counterfeit products purchase behaviour in Malaysia. Based on

    the earlier discussion, we develop this hypothesis:

    H1: Behavioural intention is positively related to consumer purchase behaviour of

    counterfeit products.

    Methodology

    This study is correlational in nature where data was gathered once, to answer the study’s

    research questions. The study was conducted with the intention to obtain a good grasp of the

    consumer purchasing behavior of counterfeit products. A survey method was employed

    because this study strongly believes that survey research is best adopted to obtain personal

    and social facts, beliefs, and attitudes (Kerlinger, 1973). The unit of analysis for this study

    was the individual consumer who went for shopping at hot spot areas that sell counterfeit

    products. This study treats each consumer’s response as an individual data source.

    The population for this study comprised consumers aged 18 and above who live in Peninsular

    Malaysia. Sample for the present study were the consumers at the age of 18 and above who

    visited and the hot-spot areas that sell conterfeit products in Kuala Lumpur, Pulau Pinang,

    dan Johor Bharu and have experienced bought counterfeit products for at least 3 month ago.

    Sample is a part of the whole pie of the total population. The given definition of sample by

    Sekaran (2006) is “… subset of the population”. In this study, some percentage of the total

    population of consumers is considered as the sample. The sample is studied in order to derive

    with some conclusions about counterfeit purchase behaviour among Malaysian consumers.

    Whereas, sampling is derived as “…the process of selecting a sufficient number of elements

    from the population …” (Sekaran, 2006).

    The sampling of this study refers to the sample size table by Krejcie & Morgan (1970).

    Sekaran and Bougie (2009) has cited their table as guideline to make decision on sample size.

    Therefore, in this study, the chosen sample size for this study is 384 since the total population

    is more than 1,000,000 (refer Table 1). However, to ensure this minimal response number and

    taking into account that survey method has poor response rate, we decided to distribute 450

    questionnaires to selected consumers.

    Table 1 Sample Size (starting with more than 10,000 populations)

    Source: Sekaran and Bougie (2009)

    In order to select the appropriate sampling design, the intercept survey was chosen.

    According to Kotler et al. (2009), intercept survey involves stopping people at a certain

    location requesting them to answer the questionnaires. In this study, the questionnaires were

    filled by intercepting consumers at the locations where known at hot spot area that sell

    counterfeit products such as Golden Triangle and Petaling Street at Kuala Lumpur, Holiday

    Plaza in Johor Bharu and Gurney Drive in Penang. In addition, this intercept method has been

    claimed to have several advantages such as speedier, lower cost and researcher has control

    over the type of respondent (Chinomona, 2013).

    One of the major concerns when using intercept surveys is ensuring the sampling procedure

    so that the correct respondents are chosen (Keen et al., 2004). Since we preferred a more

    random sample of the population and to avoid the convenience nature in the sampling design,

    systematic sampling was used. Hence, following the same method used by Phau and Teah

    (2009), every fifth shoppers who passed our data collection point were invited to participate

    in our study. In order to avoid respondent bias, the research was carried out over a 4-days

    period that included 2 weekend days and 2 weekdays for one month as well as different

    shopping hours based on the opening hour of the identified hot spot area. For example,

    Petaling Street starts its operation from mid until late evening (6.00 p.m till 12 a.m).

    Shoppers were asked if they have experienced buying counterfeits before they were asked to

    complete the survey to assure that they were familiar with the subject matter that were

    presented in the questionnaire. For those who were not able to complete the questionnaire on

    the spot, a pre-stamped envelope with the researcher’s mailing address is given to them. In

    this case, customers can complete the questionnaires and mail them back to the researcher.

    Out of the number of shoppers intercepted, 87 percent of them agreed (390 respondents) to

    take part in this survey.

    The main variables in this study were measured using multiple items drawn from previous

    research except for the socio-demographic characteristics and general information relating to

    counterfeit product purchase and users. However, some of the items were re-phrasing and

    modified to suit the study local setting. A five-point Likert scale was used to measure all of

    the items for the main variables to minimize the confusion among respondents and to make

    sure of the equality among variables (Ackfeldt & Coole, 2003; Ingram et al., 1991). The five-

    point Likert scale are: 1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=neither agree nor disagree,

    4=agree, 5=strongly agree.

    The consumer purchase behaviour measure for this study was based on a study of Wang et al.

    (2005), which examined counterfeit purchase behavior of pirated software among Chinese in

    China, with modifications concerning the phrasing of the items to suit the general counterfeit

    products context in this study. It required respondents to rate their responses towards four

    items relating to counterfeit products purchase behaviour in general by measuring five self-

    rating items on five-point Likert scale. The higher the score of purchase behavior, the higher

    is the likelihood of purchasing counterfeit products. As Armitage and Conner (2001) indicate,

    behavioural intention is measured in terms of expectation, and were assessed in terms of

    intended, expected and desired. Therefore, in this study behavioural intention is

    operationalized as the likelihood of an individual’s motivation and willingness to participate

    in counterfeit product purchase (Ajzen, 1991). Consumer behavioural intention was measured

    using the scale developed by Kim and Karpova (2010). Five items were assessed in terms of

    will, intend, want and expect to purchase on the statements relating to counterfeit products.

    Analysis and Findings

    Out of the 390 respondents, 6o percent were female (60%) and aged between 21 to 30 years

    (38%). This is followed by those in the age group of 31 to 40 years (19%). The majority

    (40%) of the respondents are Malays (40%) followed by Chinese (38%), and more than half

    of the respondents are singles (60%). The majority of the respondents are working in private

    organization (33%), followed by government servants (18%) and self-employed (13%).

    Majority of the respondents are high school leavers (46%), followed by degree holders (20%)

    with majority of income between RM 2000 to RM 3000 (44%).

    As shown in Table 3 above, behavioural intention is significantly correlated with purchase

    behaviour of counterfeit products, giving us a clue that this factor plays a significant

    influence on consumer purchase behaviour of counterfeit products. In order to test the

    hypothesis, multiple regression was used to analyze the effect of the independent variable on

    purchase behaviour of counterfeit products. Result generated is shown in Table 4 below.

    As shown in Table 4, result indicates that behavioural intention is a significant variable

    having influences on the purchase behaviour of counterfeit products. This predictor is

    explained by 68 percent of the variance in purchase behaviour of counterfeit products. In

    summary, there is sufficient statistical evidence to support the hypothesis.

    Discussion

    This study found a significant influence of behavioural intention on purchase behaviour,

    which corroborates many past findings in this regard (e.g., Reimenschneider et al., 2011;

    Fukukawa, 2002; Phau et al., 2009). In fact, this study reveals that consumer intention

    explains large percent of the variation in consumer purchase behavior of counterfeit products.

    This indicates that consumer intention has high explanatory power to predict consumer

    behavior of purchasing counterfeit products. This may indicate the consistency between what

    respondents’ say they intend to do and what they actually do. Ajzen and Fishbein (2005)

  • Journal of Humanities, Language, Culture and Business (HLCB) Vol. 1: no. 1 (2017) page 1–12 | icohlcb.com | eISSN : 01268147 |

    referred to the issue of poor behavioural intention in predicting actual behaviour as a literal

    inconsistency, which is the tendency for an individual not to do what they said they were

    going to do. This support the argument made by Ozcaglar-Toulouse, Shui and Shaw (2006)

    that behavior is deemed to be a direct function of an individual’s intention to conduct the

    behavior.

    The finding demonstrates that consumers have a positive impression towards counterfeit

    products and that their actual purchase behavior is due to a strong belief that counterfeit

    products are cheap, easy to get, safe, at par with original products and identical to original

    products. Therefore, consumer good perception towards purchasing counterfeit products has

    changed consumers from choosing original products towards counterfeits. The positive

    association between behavioral intention and purchase behavior of counterfeit products

    further confirms previous finding by Su, Lu and Lin (2012) that piracy intention is positively

    related to purchase behavior of textbook piracy among Taiwanese respondents. This also

    echoes the finding of Wu et al. (2013) that intention significantly explained gambling

    involvement among Chinese gamblers. Last but not least, this result validates the Theory of

    Planned Behaviour that intention is a good predictor index of behavior (Ajzen, 1991).

    Limitations and Future Research Directions

    There are a number of limitations worthy of improvement and future research. The study was

    conducted using intercept method, which may limit the population that could be reached.

    Those who may purchase may not be regular shoppers at the selected locations but may be in

    wholesale markets, night markets or online where counterfeit products are largely sold. As

    the study is a snapshot of the Malaysian consumers who shop in the hot spot areas selling

    counterfeits, extensions to a population of other areas in Malaysia of different socioeconomic

    group and to other states may produce different results.

    In the earlier discussion, it has been discussed that this research explored the consumers’

    behaviour towards counterfeit products in general. Therefore, questions referring to all the

    constructs in this study referred to the general concept of counterfeit products without

    focusing on different counterfeit product categories. However, Phau and Teah (2009) argued

    that counterfeit products should be examined as different categories and not as one

    homogeneous group. Therefore, for future research, the study should focus on specific

    counterfeit products categories with separate unique components such as luxury items,

    fashion, cosmetics and spare parts. Consequently, different categories of counterfeit products

    may have a different effect on the purchase behavior of the consumers.

    From a methodological standpoint, the limitations of this study may include the selection of

    samples. The collection of data was confined to only counterfeit hotspot areas particularly in

    the Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Baharu. Although we manage to get respondents

    representing the majority of the states in Malaysia, these features may not be reflective of the

    overall population in Malaysia. Thus, the results cannot be used to generalize to the whole

    population of Malaysia. Future studies should therefore be extended with data collection in

    other part of states to portray the real picture of counterfeit products purchase in Malaysia.

    Moreover, the data in this study were obtained randomly from adult consumers (aged 18 and

    above) who went shopping in selected counterfeits hot spot area in Kuala Lumpur, Penang

    and Johor Baharu. For future research, it would be practical to attain a wider sample of adult

    consumers, teenagers and/or college/university students.
