Download or read book Focusing on Consumer to consumer Trust in Electronic Commerce with Age and Gender Factors written by Hyun Shik Yoon and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of trust in building and maintaining consumer relationship in e-commerce environment is recognized in the Information Systems literature since prior researches show that general lack of trust in e-commerce is a significant factor in inhibiting online purchases. A key challenge for researchers is to identify antecedent variables that engender consumer trust in ecommerce including business-to-consumer (B2C) and consumer-to-consumer (C2C). Although C2C has been found to be more popular than the B2C e-commerce, main stream tends to focus on B2C ecommerce without making a distinction between B2C and C2C. This study expected that two influences: internal facts including natural propensity to trust and perception of web site quality, and external facts including other's trust of buyers/sellers and third party recognition would affect an individual's trust in C2C e-commerce. This research extended this model of an individual's trust in C2C e-commerce to include age and gender as control variables.

With the rapid growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), internet became a common platform for users to accomplish many tasks in a convenience way. Purchasing goods and services online is one of those activities that we accomplish over the internet.

Download or read book Trust and Loyalty in Electronic Commerce written by Zeinab Karake-Shalhoub and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-11-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karake-Shalhoub uses agency theory to ground her empirical analysis of more than 100 e-commerce firms in this highly readable examination of trust in e-commerce relational exchanges. She identifies several trust-building measures, including privacy statements, the existence of a chief privacy officer, and a trusted third-party seal of approval; companies are then evaluated based on an index of those trust builders. She demonstrates that there is a positive relationship between management ownership and trust, and that managers who fail to protect the interests of their stockholders-as well as their own-will never gain customer loyalty. Any business considering a move into e-commerce, or re-evaluating an earlier investment in online marketing and retailing, will benefit greatly from Karake-Shalhoub's insights. The timeliness of this study—the first of its kind—and its unique agency-theory perspective allow for an analysis of the appropriateness of e-business and e-commerce for certain businesses. What are e-commerce businesses that are developing loyalty and building trust doing differently than their less successful competitors? How are successful companies moving from traditional applications to the new breed of integrated e-commerce architectures? Karake-Shalhoub answers these and other pressing questions for senior and mid-level managers and strategic planners, corporate executives charged with incorporating an e-commerce strategy into their long-range plans, chief privacy officers, regulatory policymakers, and students of e-commerce, customer relationship management, and online marketing.

Download or read book Trust and Trustworthiness written by Russell Hardin and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2002-03-21 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to "trust?" What makes us feel secure enough to place our confidence—even at times our welfare—in the hands of other people? Is it possible to "trust" an institution? What exactly do people mean when they claim to "distrust" their governments? As difficult as it may be to define, trust is essential to the formation and maintenance of a civil society. In Trust and Trustworthiness political scientist Russell Hardin addresses the standard theories of trust and articulates his own new and compelling idea: that much of what we call trust can be best described as "encapsulated interest." Research into the roles of trust in our society has offered a broad range of often conflicting theories. Some theorists maintain that trust is a social virtue that cannot be reduced to strategic self-interest; others claim that trusting another person is ultimately a rational calculation based on information about that person and his or her incentives and motivations. Hardin argues that we place our trust in persons whom we believe to have strong reasons to act in our best interests. He claims that we are correct when we assume that the main incentive of those whom we trust is to maintain a relationship with us—whether it be for reasons of economic benefit or for love and friendship. Hardin articulates his theory using examples from a broad array of personal and social relationships, paying particular attention to explanations of the development of trusting relationships. He also examines trustworthiness and seeks to understand why people may behave in ways that violate their own self-interest in order to honor commitments they have made to others. The book also draws important distinctions between vernacular uses of "trust" and "trustworthiness," contrasting, for example, the type of trust (or distrust) we place in individuals with the trust we place in institutions Trust and Trustworthiness represents the culmination of important new research into the roles of trust in our society; it offers a challenging new voice in the current discourse about the origins of cooperative behavior and its consequences for social and civic life.
