Existing study model developed on the base of theoretical background. In doing this, 280 questionnaires were examined using Smart PLS-SEM. Convenience sampling used in this study. While the bulk of prior studies discovered a negative relationship between risks and online shopping behavior, this study also indicates that negative influence on online shopping behavior. The study offers additional insights into how risks can be decreased to increase the online shopping behavior that can be used to improve the plan while online shopping behavior can be enhanced. The current study reveals some important factors that affect the online shopping behavior of consumers and if we minimize these risks then significantly enhance the ratio of profits from online channels.

Few studies in the literature on electronic commerce provide empirical investigation of consumer behavior in the international online shopping context. This study identifies and discusses factors that influence international online purchases and profile the characteristics of those who purchase and those who do not purchase from online stores overseas in three main categories: the online shopping experiential factors, the international shopping motivational factors, and the international trust attitudinal factors. The international online shoppers tend to highly trust foreign vendors and have high preference of and confidence in online shopping. More importantly, these shoppers are knowledge of shopping sites' hosting countries and strongly believe in those sites' global propensity. The paper makes contributions towards new knowledge and understanding of how international online shoppers differ from non-shoppers.

The objective of this study was to determine empirically the role of constraint-based and dedication-based influences as drivers of the intention to continue using online shopping websites. Constraint-based influences consist of two variables: trust and perceived switching costs. Dedication-based influences consist of three variables: satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and trust. The current results indicate that both constraint-based and dedication-based influences are important drivers of the intention to continue using online shopping websites. The data also shows that trust has the strongest total effect on online shoppers' intention to continue using online shopping websites. In addition, the results indicate that the antecedents of constraint-based influences, technical bonds (e.g., perceived operational competence and perceived website interactivity) and social bonds (e.g., perceived relationship investment, community building, and intimacy) have indirect positive effects on the intention to continue using online shopping websites. Based on these findings, this research suggests that online shopping websites should build constraint-based and dedication-based influences to enhance user's continued online shopping behaviors simultaneously.

The tremendous increase in online shopping has created a growing demand to understand online shopping behavior. This study contributes to this understanding by identifying ideal types among online shoppers. An ideal type is an analytical construct used to ascertain similarities and deviations to concrete cases in an individual phenomenon. Theoretically, the study draws from different perspectives to create a multifaceted view of online shoppers. The purpose is not to categorize online shoppers under a specific category but rather to help understand different typically occurring online shopping behaviors. Through thematic analysis of the data from 31 participants, this study presents five ideal types of online shoppers: conservative shoppers, rational shoppers, hedonistic shoppers, spontaneous shoppers, and vanguard shoppers. The formed ideal types serve as the main theoretical contribution of this study. From a practical standpoint, implications for online shop providers on how to accommodate the needs of each ideal type are provided.

The objective of the current study is to examine the impact of social risk, government role, and psychological factors on online shopping behavior. In addition, the moderating role of culture between social risk and online shopping behavior. Simple random sampling technique was used to collect data from respondents by using a questionnaire approach. Confirmatory factor analyses, as well as structural equation modelling techniques, were used for analysis purpose. Findings revealed that social risk and psychological factors have a negative and significant impact on online shopping behavior. Government role and culture have a positive and significant impact on online shopping behavior. Moreover, culture positively moderates the relationship between social risk and online shopping behavior. Between social risk and online shopping behavior moderating role of culture have less attention in prior studies and this research fills that gap. Future research should be held in some other developing countries as well as in developed countries with financial risk, product risk, privacy risk, convenience risk, electronic word of mouth, brand association, advertising factors, perceived quality, and online shopping behavior.

The study investigates key factors that affect consumers' attitude towards shopping online and examines its influence on online shopping behavior. A model with six independent variables including Financial risk, Product risk, Convenience risk, Non-Delivery risk, Return risk, Service and Infrastructure is utilized. Data were collected from 500 online shopping consumers in three cities, namely Ho Chi Minh, Ha Noi and Da Nang. Results show that all six independent variables are statistically significant in explaining consumers' attitudes towards online shopping, in which consumer perception about service and infrastructure is the most significant, with positive effect. On the contrary, consumer perception about Financial risk has a negative effect on the attitude. The findings also reveal the positive role of attitude in encouraging online shopping behavior.
