Abstract

The aim of this research is to use the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to investigate the potential antecedents of online purchase intention in social commerce environments. Data were collected from 513 online survey participants in China. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques was used to test the study hypotheses. The findings reveal that website quality, trust, and electronic Word Of Mouth (eWOM) positively influence online purchase intentions. Furthermore, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness significantly and positively moderate the relationship between website quality and online purchase intention. These survey results help provide a more comprehensive understanding of online purchase intentions in social commerce in China. The findings and conclusion address notable implications for theory and managers.
