Abstract

The current study examined the Indian young consumer online shopping self-efficacy in an integrated model. Authors tested the study model (antecedents and consequences of online shopping involvement) with the help of 225 sample data by using first order structural equation modeling. Online shopping enjoyment was found most important predictor of online shopping involvement followed by online accessibility. Further, the impact of online shopping involvement on online shopping self-efficacy was quite high in comparison to online technical self-efficacy. We strongly recommend that the marketers must use internet strategically in establishing dialogue between seller and online shoppers.
