“…Consumer complaint behavior refers to consumers' actions directed at solving their dissatisfaction by voicing their negative experiences to sellers or service providers (Berry, Tanford, Montgomery, & Green, 2018; Blodgett et al, 2018; Singh, 1988). The well‐established predictors of consumer complaint behavior include the perceived low cost of complaining (Chebat, Davidow, & Codjovi, 2005), positive attitudes toward complaining (Bodey & Grace, 2007; Thøgersen, Juhl, & Poulsen, 2009), high levels of confidence (Richins, 1982), and the perceived likelihood of success (Blodgett et al, 2018). Among the trait‐based predictors, conscientiousness and openness to new experience (Ekinci et al, 2016), along with locus of control, are all positively related to direct complaining behavior (Gursoy, McCleary, & Lepsito, 2007).…”
