Abstract

Behavior Confidence Consumers Customers Electronic commerce Information technology Management theory Models Studies Technology Acceptance Model Trust Web sites
A separate and distinct interaction with both the actual e-vendor and with its IT Web site interface is at the heart of online shopping. Research on experienced repeat online shoppers shows that consumer trust is as important to online commerce as the widely accepted TAM use-antecedents, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use. Together these variable sets explain a considerable proportion of variance in intended behavior. The study also provides evidence that online trust is built through: 1. a belief that the vendor has nothing to gain by cheating, 2. a belief that there are safety mechanisms built into the Web site, and 3. by having a typical interface.
