“…The importance of this construct was also pinpointed by other studies such as Gefen et al (2003) and Kim et al (2008), especially with respect to online shopping (Li et al 2014;Hong and Cho 2011). According to the results, even if the overall agreements for trust statements were not though particularly high (CT1-CT4), varying from 2.41 to 2.95, the structural model (Figure 2) has illustrated a high degree of influence with regard to online purchasing intention.…”

“…It is based on the buyer's expectations that the seller will not have an opportunistic attitude and take advantage of the situation, but will behave in a dependable, ethical and socially appropriate manner, fulfilling his commitments despite the buyer's vulnerability and dependence (Gefen et al 2003). According to Li et al (2014), trust is even more important for online than for offline retailers, since consumers perceive more risk in e-commerce due to their inability to visit a physical store and examine the product they are interested in buying. It plays a crucial role in determining online purchasing intentions (Hong and Cho 2011) and shopping decisions (Lim et al 2006).…”

The three fundamental aspects in question are: perceived benefits, risks, and confusion due to over-choice. The purpose of the study is to examine the influence of these three aspects on consumers' trust and their online purchasing intentions, and also to evaluate their interrelationship with marketing activities. Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the research focuses on holidaymakers (N=735) who bought at least one component of their vacation using the Internet. The research implements Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and uses Structural Equation Modelling. The findings indicate the importance of direct marketing and of the brand names of e-retailers and products. They also pinpoint the significance of online buying convenience and of the provision of sufficient product information. Moreover they reveal the influence of safety and security issues, of the instilment of trust, and of price and quality in relation to purchasing intentions. The research contributes to a better understanding of online tourism decision making, it identifies website vendor characteristics which are important to online consumers, and presents a number of managerial implications.

“…Owing to the indispensable necessity of trust in online transactions, there has recently been a rise in research into the impact of initial trust on e-commerce adoption (Gao & Waechter 2015;Li, Jiang & Wu, 2014;Huang, Ba & Lu, 2014;Kim & Park, 2013), as well as building trust online Abstract (Chang & Fang, 2013;Wu, Huang & Hsu, 2014), the impact of trust on online transactions (Bleier & Eisenbeiss 2015;Yan, Zhang & Vasilakos, 2014), and determinants of online trust (Beldad, Van der Geest, De Jong & Steehouder, 2012;Shankar, Urban & Sultan, 2002;Karimov & Brengman, 2014;Wang & Emurian, 2005). In spite of growing research interest in online trust, the majority of these studies have been conducted from Western and Asian perspectives.…”

Transactions carried out in the uncertain and impersonal conditions of the Internet require substantial levels of trust. Obtaining customers' trust is therefore imperative to cultivating and nurturing long-lasting and profitable customer-firm relationships in online environments. Surprisingly however, there is currently a dearth of research on the effects of trust on customers' acceptance of e-commerce in Africa. This paper investigates the effects of the components of institutional trust on perceptions of ease of use and usefulness, as well as attitudes towards use on customers' intentions to use Internet banking services. An integrated research model based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was built and empirically tested using data obtained from 390 retail banking customers in South Africa. The results show that the proposed model possesses high explanatory capabilities as it could explain 61 per cent of the variance in Internet banking use intentions. The study results further show that situational normality is neither a salient determinant of customers' attitudes towards use of internet banking nor their use intention, whereas structural assurance is. By examining the effects of institutional trust on the TAM's variables, especially in a developing African country, this study does not only provide insights for managers in their efforts to achieve rapid adoption of Internet banking, but also contributes to the literature on the topic.

This paper presents the literature review of studies published in 2004-2014 (Web 2.0 period) in the area of consumer online trust. Based on the content analysis of 138 papers, this study highlights three major research themes: (1) trust models, (2) technological, and (3) social factors impacting online trust. It also explores topics in each major theme found in direct studies of online consumer trust. Since this literature review uses the concept-centric approach, it points out not only the major trends in research but also three understudied areas: (1) green trust, (2) trust recovery, and (3) the role of ethics in developing online trust.
