An exploratory study was conducted to investigate consumer adoption of online purchase using a survey data set. Based upon the theory of innovation and self-efficacy theory, risk aversion, online proficiency, shopping convenience, and product choice variety were proposed to influence consumer intention to shop online, which, in turn, affects online purchases. Results of regression analyses revealed that all but shopping convenience were significant predictors of consumer intention to purchase online. In addition, consumer intention directly determines consumer purchases online. Finally, consumer intention to purchase online mediates the relationship of risk aversion, shopping convenience, and product choice variety to online shopping. Research and managerial implications of the findings were discussed.

Recently in Malaysia, a substantial number of consumers have been found to be avoiding online shopping as they prefer to shop in physical stores. This scenario brings up the issue of whether Malaysian consumers are ready technologically to shop online. To tackle this issue, a review of the concept of technology readiness is made to help explain Malaysian consumers’ online purchase intention behaviour. Technology readiness is chosen here because the concept reflects an individual’s predisposition in the usage and adoption of new technology. For the purpose of this review, this study selects technology readiness concept as proposed by Parasuraman  (2000). From the review, this study found that technology readiness has been measured in the past either as a single (unidimensional) or a multidimensional construct involving four factors, namely, optimism, innovativeness, discomfort and insecurity. A summary on past researchers’ findings in identifying the relationship between technology readiness (and its proposed dimensions) with technology usage is included in this review. For example, technology readiness was found to have a significant influence on behavioural intention in using mobile commerce to purchase travel-related service. Additionally, technology readiness motivator (optimism and innovativeness) and inhibitor (discomfort and insecurity) were identified to be related to intention to use technology. Based on the review, this study proposes a model to help explain the user’s intention to purchase online situation. In the proposed model, both technology readiness motivators and inhibitors are suggested to show positive and negative influences respectively on the user’s intention to purchase online. This review is thought to be beneficial to many. For instance, researchers would find insights on the usefulness of technology readiness and on how it has been and can be applied for further investigation. As for marketing practitioners, the review would help guide them understand the influence technology readiness has on consumers behaviour intention in adopting online shopping which they could apply for future marketing strategy.

With the development of technology and the emergence of the Internet, new markets for buying and selling have been created. Selling on the Internet was not done solely by business entities but also by individuals who started selling their products, hence gave rise to C2C purchase. This paper investigates how the risks of online purchase affect the intention of consumers further purchasing. The survey was carried out in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) and included 419 consumers. The conceptual model included six variables: purchase risk, product risk, online purchase application, online purchase self-efficiency, online purchase value, and further purchase intent. The established model was tested using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) and it was proven that the risks of online purchases do not affect directly the further purchase intent, but they indirectly affect other variables. Research has shown that consumers who are self-efficient in their purchases demonstrate greater intention for further online purchases, as well as consumers who find online shopping easier. Theoretically, this work contributes to a better understanding of how online shopping risks affect the intention of further online shopping in the C2C market. Also, paper in a practical way contributes to understanding the behavior of consumers on the C2C market, which can be used by sellers to improve this aspect of online purchase.
