Abstract

Malaysia entered the transition to endemic phase of the Covid-19 pandemic on April 1, 2022. After two years of fighting the pandemic, the transition to the endemic phase is an exit strategy that enables Malaysians to return to a nearly normal life. This paper examines whether customers will continue to use food delivery services now that most individuals are permitted to return to work physically. This study will also examine if perceived usefulness, ease of use, enjoyment, trust, social influence, and attitude impact customer behavioral intention toward food delivery services and whether attitude mediates the aforementioned relationship. 200 Malaysians participated in the survey. The findings indicate that perceived usefulness, ease of use, enjoyment, trust, social influence, and attitude influence consumers' behavioral intentions for meal delivery services. The link between perceived usefulness, ease of use, enjoyment, trust, social influence, and behavioral intention is mediated by attitude. Recommendations and consequences were presented. Keywords: Perceived usefulness, Ease of use, Enjoyment, Trust, Social influence, Attitude, Behavioral Intention, Malaysia.

Abstract

As time goes by, the advancement of technology has brought tremendous impact to all fields. Consumers’ purchasing behavior has changed due to the existence of e-commerce. This study aims to examine the factors influencing online shopping behavior by conducting a case study on Shopee. This study was carried out through data collection by using a survey questionnaire and secondary data analysis and collection obtained from other sources such as online related websites. There were 150 Shopee users who responded to the survey. The results indicated that perceived convenience emerged as the strongest predictor (? = 0.457), followed by perceived ease of use (? = 0.280) and perceived trust (? = 0.250). Interestingly, perceived usefulness was not found to be a significant factor (? = -0.055). These findings suggest that online businesses should prioritize convenience, user experience (UX) design, and trust-building strategies. Further research could explore the reasons behind the unexpected usefulness result and cultural influences on online shopping behavior.
