摘要：The aim of this study is to examine the intervening effect of investor emotional attachment between corporate reputation and investors’ behavioral decision-making in the context of Pakistan stock exchange (PSX). Specifically, an attempt is made to investigate the indirect effect between corporate identity and investors’ behavioral decision making via corporate image, emotional attachment, and corporate reputation. The data collected from 220 individual small equity investors, who maintained their stock accounts through stockbrokers in PSX. Structural equation modeling was used to test the study hypotheses with help of SPSS. Results confirmed the partial mediation effect of emotional attachment between corporate reputation and investors’ behavioral decisionmaking. In addition, Results supported the indirect effect between corporate identity and investors’ behavioral decision making via corporate image, emotional attachment, and investors’ behavior. The findings provide fundamental facts to the executives of the firms in Pakistan who want to assess the investor’s behavioral decision-making in the equity markets. Further, this study will help to understand the emotional aspects of the individual investors and will enable the policymakers and corporations to understand the decision making behavior of the individual small equity investors and draw their future policies to regulate the equity markets.
