Limitations and future research directions

LimitationFuture research direction
The moderating impact of only one variable, i.e. occupation, was examinedResearchers can assess other probable moderators, e.g. product type (e.g. beauty products, household items), to gain in-depth knowledge on AR adoption
Survey-based approachFurther studies can employ experimental or longitudinal research designs to assess actual consumer purchase behavior and usage
Lack of mediating variables in the proposed research modelAR scholars can explore the mediating roles of variables such as customer experience and customer empowerment
Culture is not consideredFuture researchers can conduct cross-cultural analysis to examine how cultural differences affect AR adoption
Focused only on mobile AR applicationsFuture studies can validate the findings across other AR formats, e.g. Web AR, AR glasses and smart mirrors, to assess generalizability
