  • Purpose - Transparency, seller reputation, and website security are considered to be important factors that influence online customer purchasing decisions in China. This paper empirically examines the relative influence of Taobao.com on customers' online purchasing decisions. Research design, data, and methodology - We perform structural equation analysis, with a sample of 306 observations. The data comes from consumers' real transaction experiences from a specific website. This gives the results of our study more generalizability than studies using subjects who are not asked to engage in real transactions. Results - The results of this study reveal that perceived security and perceived reputation are critical factors affecting consumer trust and perceived transparency is most closely associated with purchase intention. Conclusions - The findings suggest that perceived transparency plays a significant role in increasing online consumer's purchase intention. The knowledge of the relative impacts of these factors and their roles in the customer transaction experience will be useful in developing customized sales strategies. The results of this study reveal that perceived transparency exerts a stronger effect than perceived reputation on consumer purchase intentions.

  • This research started from hypothesizing that people hesitate to use a fashion sharing economy service due to the consumers' concerns or fears about contagion. The study explores how backstage information can affect consumers' responses to this service, especially their perceived risk and transparency. An online experiment was conducted to test the research questions through Amazon MTurk. The data of 351 participants in total were analyzed. The results show that backstage information, presenting hidden information with images of various product journeys, from packaging to return and laundry, had a positive effect on transparency as well as perceived risk. Both transparency and perceived risk positively affected the service's perceived honesty, and honesty also positively affected consumer engagement. Through the findings that providing backstage information had a positive effect on perceived risk, but the risk had a positive effect on perceived honesty, we can expect the reaction to the information itself to possibly be negative. However, consumers can consider the service as honest at least, which opens the possibility of expecting positive consumer attitudes or responses in a market in the near future.

  • Purpose: This study investigates the complex dynamics of consumer behavior in Vietnamese banking omnichannel environments, focusing on the roles of service consistency, service transparency, flow, perceived privacy risk, and loyalty intention. Research design, data and methodology: Using a sample of 422 Vietnamese bank customers, data analysis revealed significant relationships among the variables under investigation. Results: Firstly, service consistency was found to positively influence flow experiences and negatively impact perceived privacy risk, highlighting the importance of uniform service quality across channels in enhancing consumer engagement while mitigating privacy concerns. Similarly, service transparency was positively associated with flow experiences and negatively associated with perceived privacy risk, underscoring the importance of transparent information dissemination in fostering immersive consumer experiences while alleviating privacy apprehensions. Furthermore, both flow experiences and perceived privacy risk significantly influenced loyalty intentions, indicating the pivotal roles of engaging experiences and data security in driving consumer loyalty. Additionally, mediated relationships were observed, demonstrating the interplay between service consistency, service transparency, flow, perceived privacy risk, and loyalty intention in shaping consumer behavior in omnichannel contexts. Conclusions: These findings provide valuable insights for retailers and marketers seeking to optimize consumer experiences and cultivate loyalty in omnichannel environments by prioritizing consistency, transparency, and data privacy protection.

  • A low level of transparency and trust in the release of government information during the COVID-19 pandemic could decrease the chance of success in handling the coronavirus outbreak. This worldwide pandemic has damaged not only human health but also created an economic and social crisis. Indonesia is no exception. Unfortunately, an analysis of a mixed-method survey of 500 participants found that public perception of transparency in the government's release of COVID-19 information is still at a low level. This perceived low level of transparency generates minimum trust in the information. Only 8% of participants trust the government's information regarding the virus. Even though the Indonesian government launched an official website, www.covid19.go.id, which is intended as a primary source of valid information about COVID-19 in Indonesia, most survey participants had never used the website. However, contrary to the low levels of perceived transparency and trust, most participants said that the messages from the government are clear and easy to understand. This contradiction resulted from skepticism toward the government. Therefore, this research presents a better understanding of how the level of transparency and trust is also related to the level of skepticism of the government.

  • 기술, 처리절차 및 규제 등의 개선에도 불구하고 많은 소비자들은 여전히 온라인 구매에 대해 불확실성이 높다고 생각하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 온라인 쇼핑에서의 불확실성 요인을 파악하고, 이들 요인들과 구매의도와의 관계를 이해하는데 있다. 이와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위해 우선 선행연구들로부터 판매자 익명성(seller anonymity), 제품의 투명성 결여(lack of product transparency), 그리고 프로세스의 투명성 결여(lack of process transparency) 등을 온라인 쇼핑의 불확실성에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 도출하였다. 그리고 이들 불확실성 요인들을 선행변수로, 소비자 구매의도를 결과변수로 하여 이들 변수들 사이의 관계를 개념화하는 인과관계 모형을 개발하였다. 이 모형에는 지각된 불확실성을 불확실성 요인들과 구매의도 사이의 매개변수로 포함하였다. 또한 구매관여(purchase involvement) 정도를 지각된 불확실성과 구매의도 사이의 조절변수로 포함하였다. 이 연구 모형을 설문을 통해 실증적으로 분석하고, 각 변수들 사이의 관계에 대한 가설을 검정하였다. 실증분석 결과, 모든 선행변수는 지각된 불확실성에 유의한 정의 영향을 미치고, 지각된 불확실성은 소비자의 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 구매관여 정도는 지각된 불확실성과 온라인 구매의도와의 사이의 관계에 유의한 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Purpose: This study aims at understanding the impacts of three omnichannel attributes (channel transparency, channel uniformity, channel convenience) and four customer perceptions (perceived innovativeness, perceived personalization, perceived risk, perceived credibility) on customer experience and channel selection decision. Research design and methodology: A quantitative online survey with 356 shoppers was executed. The partial least squares linear structural model (PLS-SEM) and Smart PLS were adopted to analyze the collected data and test the proposed hypotheses. Results: The research findings indicate four dominant results: (i) The customers' channel selection is directly determined by customer experience; perceived innovativeness; perceived personalization; perceived risk; and perceived credibility; and (ii) among these, the perceived risk shows negative impact on the customer's experience and customers' channel selection whereas others reveal the positive status; (iii) The customer experience represents the most decisive impact on the channel selection, then perceived personalization, perceived credibility, perceived innovativeness, and perceived risk. (iv) Three proposed channel attributes (transparency, uniformity, convenience) significantly influence the overall customer experience. Conclusions: This research adds to the body of knowledge in omnichannel retailing, customer experience, and customer channel selection. Furthermore, this research provides omnichannel retailers with practical implications for improving customer channel selection.

  • 고객 취향에 가장 적합한 제품을 선택하는 것은 전자상거래에서 중요한 문제이다. 전자상거래 그러나 온라인 추천시스템으로서 알려진 소셜 필터링은 전자상거래에서 기술적 접근이 활발히 연구되어왔다. 온라인 추천시스템은 사용자의 개인적 취향과 관련하여 적절한 제품을 필터링하여 제공함으로서 사용자의 의사결정 품질을 향상시키는 것에 목적을 두고 있으며 그 결과 사용자의 제품 탐색과 선택에 대한 지원이 가능하다. 그러나 대다수 추천시스템의 선행연구들은 추천 알고리즘의 정확성을 향상시키는 것에 집중해 왔으며 사용자 기반의 인터페이스나 사용자 관점의 사용방식에 대한 연구는 매우 적은 실정이다. 추천시스템의 추천 상황에 대한 시스템 투명성과 사용자의 추천에 대한 피드백을 통한 추천방식 개선을 통하여 본 연구는 사용자 관점의 추천시스템 활용에 대한 시스템 투명성과 피드백의 영향력을 파악하고자 하였다. 실험을 통한 연구 결과에 따라, 시스템 투명성과 사용자 피드백 모두 추천시스템에 대한 사용자의 인지된 신뢰, 프로세스 가치, 인지된 즐거움에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 인지된 신뢰, 프로세스 가치, 즐거움은 사용자가 추천시스템을 지속적으로 사용하기 위한 의도를 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Corporate social responsibility is a consistently discussed theme in many industries. Most corporations engage in CSR activities and now inform consumers in detail on what they have been doing for society. It has become a critical tool of consumer communication; however, little is known regarding the role of information transparency in the context of the fashion industry. This study discusses information transparency of fashion corporations which means revealing information regarding cost and garment making processes. The research proved that the higher consumers perceive a fashion brand's CSR performance (CSP), the more they think the provided CSR information is substantial; consequently, there is a favorable evaluation of the brand. The result provides insight regarding the relationship between CSP perception, perceived information substantiality, and brand evaluation. There was a significant partial mediation effect of perceived information substantiality. Moreover, the moderated mediation effect of information transparency appeared significant on the impact of CSP perception for brand evaluation via CSR information substantiality. The process model 7 was used as an analytical tool. The results of this study implies the importance of information transparency in the fashion industry context in the digital era.

  • Under the premise that information privacy concerns can atrophy e-commerce by causing particular behaviors of Internet users, this study focused on exploring the causes of information privacy concerns, the related information privacy protective responses of Internet users, and measures for alleviating the information privacy concerns. This study is based on the 'principal-agent theory,' and established the following as factors that cause information privacy concerns of Internet users: perceived information non-transparency; perceived action uncertainty. Also, the information privacy concerns caused by the factors were established as the cause of information privacy protective responses of Internet users. Also, the concept of 'signaling' and 'incentive,' which were presented to solve the adverse selection and moral hazard issue in the host-agent theory, was introduced to establish the following as factors that alleviate information privacy concerns: trust; informativeness. Those factors were included in the research model to conduct an empirical analysis. The analysis has revealed that both the perceived information non-transparency (p<0.01) and perceived action uncertainty (p<0.01) as to websites had a significant impact on information privacy concerns. Also, information privacy concerns of Internet users (p<0.01) had a significant impact on their information privacy protective responses who strive to protect their personal information. In addition, when trust and informativeness, which were established as factors that can alleviate information privacy concerns, were empirically analyzed, trust and informativeness had the effect of alleviating information privacy concerns. Based on the findings, the following was confirmed: Boosting the trust of Internet users in websites and offering useful information related to personal data can play a key role in alleviating the information privacy concerns of Internet users.
