Empirical data were collected from 224 online shoppers. The Partial Least Squares technique was used to test the proposed research model.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Choice confidence on focal product and perceived usefulness of cross-buying is the antecedents of instant cross-buying intention. Brand awareness of recommended product, one-stop shopping convenience, and perceived price advantage are the antecedents of perceived usefulness of cross-buying and choice confidence on focal product when the decision making on focal product is difficult, whereas brand awareness is not when it is easy to make focal product decision. Choice confidence on focal product positively affects perceived usefulness of cross-buying when it is easy to make focal product decision, whereas the effect is not significant when the decision making on focal product is difficult.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Knowledge about the effect of online cross-recommendation of products on instant cross-buying intention is scarce. This study reveals the psychological mechanism of the effect of online cross-recommendation of products on consumers\u2019 instant cross-buying intention and finds that decision-making difficulty on focal product is an important moderator.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/intr-05-2017-0211","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,13]],"date-time":"2018-04-13T07:39:29Z","timestamp":1523605169000},"page":"604-622","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["The influence of online cross-recommendation on consumers\u2019 instant cross-buying intention"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Dong Hong","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ya Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ya Ping","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"key2020100209195477700_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"749","DOI":"10.1002\/mar.20643","article-title":"The interplay of information diagnosticity and need for cognitive closure in determining choice confidence","volume":"30","year":"2013","journal-title":"Psychology & Marketing"},{"issue":"12","key":"key2020100209195477700_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1636","DOI":"10.1287\/mnsc.49.12.1636.25109","article-title":"Good reasons sell: reason-based choice among group and individual investors in the stock market","volume":"49","year":"2003","journal-title":"Management Science"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2020100209195477700_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.2753\/JEC1086-4415190104","article-title":"The interplay between online consumer reviews and recommender systems: an experimental analysis","volume":"19","year":"2014","journal-title":"International Journal of Electronic Commerce"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2020100209195477700_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"347","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jretai.2009.04.008","article-title":"Perceived discrimination, cashier metaperceptions, embarrassment, and confidence as influencers of coupon use: an ethnoracial-socioeconomic analysis","volume":"85","year":"2009","journal-title":"Journal of Retailing"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2020100209195477700_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"229","DOI":"10.1108\/10662240810883290","article-title":"The impact of electronic word-of-mouth: the adoption of online opinions in online customer communities","volume":"18","year":"2008","journal-title":"Internet Research"},{"key":"key2020100209195477700_ref006","unstructured":"Chin, W.W.
