The level of online shopping in Indonesia has been increasing since its inception, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused a more significant increase.In addition to the quality of supporting applications, service quality in the form of timeliness in delivery and suitability of goods ordered by consumers are also important aspects that need to be considered by businesses that use the Electronic Commerce (E-commerce) platform. This study aims to examine the effect of system quality, information quality, and reliability on user satisfaction of Mobile Commerce (M-commerce), the effect of user satisfaction on the intention to use M-commerce continually, and the role of user experience in strengthening the relationship between user satisfaction and intention to use M-Commerce continually. We used 196 M-commerce consumers who conducted online shopping within three months (April-June 2020) as samples. Hypothesis was tested using PLS-SEM. The findings prove that customer sa...
The Future of Mobile Commerce Application in a Post Pandemic Period; An Integrative Model of UTAUT2
E3S Web of Conferences
The massive adoption of mobile commerce during the COVID-19 period has become the only way for consumers to sustain their consumption. However, as we enter the endemic phase, the continuity of this modern shopping mode is still questionable, whether consumers continue to use it or discontinue it. To address this issue, we integrate the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to empirically predict the antecedents of consumers' continuous usage of m-commerce in a post COVID-19 setting. Through an online survey, primary data was collected from 202 consumers in Indonesia who had at least twice purchased via an m-commerce application in the last six months. The data was then analyzed using a variance-based structural equation modeling technique (SEM-PLS). The results showed that all nine identified constructs from UTAUT2 (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation, habit) and SDT (autonomy...

The Indian retail industry has registered tremendous growth recently. The sudden emergence of Coronavirus Disease 2019 and the related measures that were taken by the authorities to curb the pandemic have compelled retailers and their consumers to transact using digital platforms. This study investigates the critical precursors to retailers' behavioral intention to use mobile platforms for their business transactions in the post-pandemic era. This study adopted a framework that combined the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and self-determination theory (SDT) to predict behavioral intentions. A hybrid approach combining partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques was used to test and validate the proposed framework. Four hundred and ninety-six participants from different central Indian cities participated in the study. PLS-SEM results confirmed that the motivational factors (need satisfaction [NS] and need frustration [NF]) significantly influence the attitude (AT), subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), and behavioral intention (BI). Furthermore, the findings also established the partial mediating effect of AT, SN, and PBC on the relationship between motivational construct (NS and NF) and BI. Finally, the relationship established by SEM was successfully validated by ANN in the existence of a nonlinear relationship in the data. The findings may help retail stakeholders to support retail owners in their pursuit to continue using mobile payment systems in the post-COVID-19 world.

The unexpected outbreak of the COVID pandemic has affected many people and businesses in different ways. As consumers no longer felt safe going to shopping centres they considered online shopping. In South Africa, the online retail market is in its infancy and this presents an opportunity for businesses to capitalise on the current climate. This study investigated the significance of constructs associated with online consumer purchase intention (PI) in South Africa (SA) in a Covid-19 environment. A combination of the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM)and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technlogy-2(UTAUT2)model were used as a basis for the study including COVID-19 as a situational factor. A sample of 368 South African consumers participated in the study through an online survey. The results of this quantitative study revealed that the most significant constructs in determining consumers’ online retail PI in the current environment in SA are Covid-19 and Perceived ease of use(PE...

Assessing the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on M-Commerce Adoption: An Adapted UTAUT2 Approach
Electronics
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted consumers’ lives and their shopping patterns, leading them towards mobile commerce. To address current shopping circumstances, an adapted UTAUT2 model aims to integrate trust and perceptions of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumers’ behavioral intention to rely on m-commerce during this period. The study proposes a research model which is investigated with the help of structural equation modelling in AMOS. Using the framework of a cross-sectional study, data were collected from an emerging market in Romania, where internet speed ranks 4th worldwide and where the yearly increase in internet and social media users is approximately 10%. By using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling, the research validates the applicability of UTAUT2 in examining consumers’ behavioral intent of using m-commerce during a pandemic. Hedonic motivation is the strongest predictor of consumers’ behavioral intentions to continue using m-c...

The increasing number of e-grocery start-ups and COVID19 pandemic have accelerated the growth of e-grocery services in Indonesia. In fact, e-grocery adoption is low compared with other e-commerce product categories such as fashion and electronics. Customers are considering some factors including trust, risk, benefit (usefulness) and the level of ease of use before making a decision to shop online grocery. The objective of this study is to determine whether all these factors affect trust and finally the adoption in shopping for grocery products online and whether the Indonesian consumers will return to shopping for grocery products offline after the COVID19 pandemic. This research provided a new perspective by integrating Technology Acceptance Model Approach with trust as the intervening variable. Quantitative research was conducted by distributing questionnaires among the 195 respondents who had used e-grocery/shopping services. All data collection was analyzed using PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Model). The results of this study indicate that perceived risks, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use have a positive effect on trust. The study proved that trust had a significant effect in the adoption of e-grocery platforms among Indonesian shoppers. The e-grocery platform should offer innovative and consistent products or services to keep their customers buying groceries online even after the COVID-19 pandemic is over especially for the older generation who are more enjoyed buying at the conventional markets.

Food delivery apps (FDAs) as an emerging online-to-offline mobile technology, have been widely adopted by catering businesses and customers. Especially, as they have provided two-way beneficial catering delivery services in rescuing catering enterprises and satisfying customers' technological and mental exceptions under the COVID-19 global pandemic condition. This study proposes a comprehensive model integrating UTAUT, ECM and TTF with the trust factor and examines 532 valid FDA users' continuance intention of using FDAs during the COVID-19 pandemic period in China. The statistical results and discussions show that satisfaction is the most significant factor, and perceived task-technology fit, trust, performance expectancy, social influence and confirmation have direct or indirect positive impacts on users' continuance usage intention of FDAs during the COVID-19 pandemic period. In addition, relevant researches and stakeholders should consider the specific characteristic of technology being associated with users' technological and mental perceptions for better understanding and explaining users' continuance intention.
