Online Shopping Behavior

This paper presents the experimental study results on exploring the latent demand for crowdshipping service. Factor analysis has been used as the key methodology to reveal the basic attributes of the demand. Given the absence of crowdshipping-based services in Ukraine we focused on evaluation the intentions of online shoppers to use the proposed delivery system. To do this we used five-point Likert scale to evaluate 15 statements in regard to pros and cons attitudes towards crowdshipping. Pros online shopping behavior has been considered as the basic component to promote the crowdshipping service. In this case the formed statements for pros crowdshipping have been described the time, cost, ecology, flexibility of the proposed delivery service. In turn the anti-online shopping intentions have been presented with enjoy of physical stores visiting, social interaction needs, browsing the products and etc. As the results of the factor analysis, we revealed four factors and one of them has been identified as “ProCrowdShoppers”. This factor covers 38 % of variance for all data of the study. Such a high value allows us to make conclusion about high potential of crowdshipping deployment in Ukraine. The second factor has been identified as “Con_sustainable_shoppers” which covered people that do not care about ecology during the delivery fulfilment. This group allowed us to make conclusion that ecological problem and sustainable city development paradigm did not penetrate yet all social groups. The second factor covers 12 % of variance for data that should be taken into account when the crowdshipping service will be deployed in Ukrainian cities. The third factor has been identified as “Store_lovers” covering 8.99 % of variance. And the fourth factor was revealed as “Windows_shoppers”. So, the third and the fourth factors reflect the people’s intentions to remain shopping in the physical stores. The total variance covered by these two factors is 16.26 %. Summarizing we can say that crowdshipping has a high opportunity to be deployed in Ukrainian cities. To become widely used it should be grounded on flexible, reliable and ecologically friendly basis. Along with that the time saving should also be provided to compete with commercial delivery services.

PurposeThe present study aims to examine the current digital information literacy (DIL) skills of female online shoppers in Lahore city of Pakistan. Data were gathered from a purposive sampling of women, aged between 20–50 years who were buying products online, not from the traditional retail stores. Out of 309 received questionnaires, 269 responses were useable and were utilized for data analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to deduce inferences.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative research approach was employed for this study, and a survey was conducted to collect the data from the study's respondents. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were used.FindingsResults revealed that the digital information literacy skills of women were good to a moderate level. However, they were not confident in applying advanced searching options. In accordance with what was hypothesized in a directional hypothesis, DIL was found to be a strong predictor of online shopping behavior of women, consequently highlighting the importance of such competencies in modern life. Other findings illustrate that participating women rarely engaged in online shopping and felt hesitation in using credit/debit card for online transactions.Research limitations/implicationsThese observations highlight the important role of information professionals in creating digital literacy among different population groups, specifically women, by planning digital information instruction through courses, workshops and trainings. This could eventually be possible with the dynamic role of librarians or information professionals in the society.Originality/valueThe present study adopts the unique approach of measuring online shopping behavior of female shoppers in connection with their digital information literacy skills.
