It delves into exploring its fundamental forms, establishing a conceptual foundation and outlining implications for future inquiry. Design/methodology/approach – The article adopts a comprehensive conceptual outlook by amalgamating existing insights from a systematic analysis of 110 articles spanning diverse fields like sociology, psychology, marketing and economics. It devises an innovative framework that encapsulates the varying manifestations of consumer resistance based on intensity and target, while proposing an integrative antecedents-decisions-outcomes (ADO) model to elucidate the stimuli, forms and repercussions of resistance within the GCC landscape. Findings – The article categorizes and delineates different consumer dispositions that underpin resistance, showcasing a spectrum of consumer resistance at micro, meso and macro levels and distinguishing between passive and active behaviors. The ADO framework uncovers identity-based, culture-based and socio-economic motivations as pivotal triggers of resistance, various resistance actions as decisions, and multifaceted outcomes that influence consumers, brands, businesses, markets and the GCC itself. Additionally, the study acknowledges notable research gaps and sets forth a comprehensive research agenda for future exploration. Originality/value – This research offers a distinctive theoretical contribution by furnishing an exhaustive and unified framework for comprehending consumer resistance within the realm of GCC. It establishes connections between diverse disciplinary perspectives, introduces crucial new conceptualizations of resistance manifestations and delineates a research roadmap to enhance the comprehension of this increasingly salient phenomenon in the domain of international marketing.20252025-05-28 10:15:41Članek v reviji169424sl
