Abstract
The current research aims to identify the factors that influence the investment behavior of the agrarian investor class, an untapped potential segment for the investment market, in India. The study observes the antecedents of investment behavior and intention. Thus, the present study analyses the responses of 400 agrarian rural respondents. Data from a well-structured questionnaire administered to the study’s target participants were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results observed the utmost influence of financial self-efficacy in establishing the agrarian rural investors’ attitude and has least influence in determining personality traits and financial knowledge, which ultimately determine the investment intention of investors. Further, social influence has the least effect on how agrarian rural people think and act. The findings demonstrate that investment intention is the leading factor in cementing the investment behavior of agrarian rural investors. This article claims its distinctiveness by adding important insights to the literature of the investment behavior and intention for the Indian agrarian investor class.
