Abstract
This study examines factors influencing consumers’ purchase behavior of durian chips in Thailand’s digital age. A quantitative research design was employed using a sample of 350 consumers in Chanthaburi province, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The measurement and structural models demonstrated an acceptable fit to the data (χ2/df = 1.607, p = 0.004, AGFI = 0.950, RMSEA = 0.037). The results indicate that customer satisfaction plays a central role in shaping purchase behavior, exerting the strongest direct effect among the studied variables. Health consciousness and customer expectation significantly contribute to customer satisfaction, while their direct effects on purchase behavior are relatively weak. Technology innovation does not show a significant direct influence on purchase behavior and exhibits only a limited relationship with satisfaction, suggesting that technological features may function as baseline conditions rather than active purchase motivators in a mature digital environment.
