1 MOHAMAD A. DARRAT Assistant Professor of Marketing Department of Management and Marketing Louisiana State University Shreveport OFFICE ADDRESS HOME ADDRESS Department of Management and Marketing 1000 Riverwalk Blvd, Education, and Human Development Shreveport, LA Shreveport, LA Office phone: (318) Office: BE 310 EDUCATION Doctor of Business Administration,, 2016 Major: Marketing Minor: Quantitative & Analysis Psychology Dissertation title: "The Influence of Consumer Freeloading Behavior on an Observer s and Perpetrator s Affective Commitment" Abstract: My dissertation explores the relationship between customer loyalty and freeloading behavior. Consumer freeloading results when a consumer manipulates a system or market procedures in a way that allows him or her to obtain benefits from a value proposition with no or reduced monetary costs. Thus, the freeloading consumer works the value equation in his/her favor at the expense of the marketer and/or other consumers. In addition to examining the point of view of the consumer performing the unethical behavior, the dissertation also examines the impact of such behavior on a third party observer. How do loyal consumers (versus not so loyal consumers) react in the face of obvious opportunism against the firm they identify with (or do not identify with)? Justice sensitivity, a personality variable that predicts when and how people react to witnessed or experienced injustice, is hypothesized to moderate the relationship between intention to freeload and observer's and perpetrator's loyalty.
