“…Research conducted prior to the COVID pandemic using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) revealed several factors that influenced customers' intention to shop online, such as performance expectations, effort expectations, social influence, and facilitating conditions (Venkatesh et al, 2003), as well as hedonic motivation, price value, and habit (Venkatesh et al, 2012). However, studies conducted during the early stages of the pandemic found that effort expectancy (Kadir and Ismail, 2022) and social influence (Erjavec and Manfreda, 2022) did not significantly impact customers' online shopping intentions. Recent research conducted during the pandemic suggests that major factors influencing customers' online purchasing decisions include performance expectancy (Zhao and Bacao, 2021), effort expectancy (Musyaffi, 2021), habit (Sheikh et al, 2017), and customer perceived value (Asti et al, 2021).…”
