Omnichannel retail is the new retail norm, combining seamless interactions between online and offline for both retailers and consumers. While the impact of omnichannel retail on business is increasingly recognized, there remains a significant gap between customer expectations and what retailers offer in terms of omnichannel capabilities. Based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model, this study explores the brand love behavior of Generation Z in quality and integrated omnichannel retail. A quantitative approach was adopted through a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 301 consumers were sampled, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that omnichannel integrated quality, including elements such as integrated interaction quality, fulfillment, efficiency, and responsiveness, positively influences customer engagement, while customer engagement (CE) positively affects brand love (BL) among Generation Z. This study thus confirms the mediating effect of CE (O) between OIQ (S) and BL (R). This underscores the importance of quality omnichannel integration in engaging consumers, which in turn enhances brand love among Generation Z.Downloads
