Abstract
The booming Chinese luxury market provides a worthwhile topic for marketing researchers. Based on the theory that consumption can be affected by both cultural and political factors, in this paper the authors analyzed the impacts of traditional cultural values and political ideologies on individuals' material values and luxury consumption desire (LCD) in China. 131 respondents from major Chinese cities took part in the survey through personal interview. The PLS results suggest that the value of face and ordering relationship are important determinants of materialism and also have direct influences on the conformity and social status dimension in LCD. In terms of political ideology, Deng‟s theory could positively affect materialism, which is found to have direct effects on all the aspects of LCD.
