This research study evaluates the significance of attitude as a mediating variable between behavioural intention and overall satisfaction in apparel shopping using Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modelling with a bootstrapping approach for evaluating the hypothesis. A total of 227 consumers were surveyed using a structured questionnaire and convenient sampling method with a cross-sectional method for collecting data. The hypothesis states that there is a significant relationship between overall satisfaction effect \& attitude, reputation \& trust, attitude \& behavioural intention and trust \& behavioural intention. Evidence of the partial mediation effect of attitude between overall satisfaction and behavioural intention is also identified. The findings indicate that the model is valid and has a good fit. Therefore, improved customer service and delivery service will help the corporate to uplift the endogenous latent variable of Behavioural Intention.}, number = {04}, urldate = {2023-09-03}, journal = {Industria Textila}, author = {Bai G., Vidya and Birau, Ramona and Hawaldar, Iqbal Thonse and Frank, Daniel and Ninulescu, Petre Valeriu and Arjunan, R.
