“…In this situation, how collected personal data are used or treated by online merchants is critical, and the importance of business integrity is greater now than ever before [70]. In other words, whether consumers interact with e-commerce merchants mainly depends on integrity of online businesses [55]. Therefore, if consumers have concerns over the legitimacy of online businesses, the motivation to trade through the online open market might be inhibited.…”

This study aims to investigate motivational factors and motivation hindering factors of online shopping via online open market platforms. For a comprehensive exploration, the response data were collected from a total of 417 Korean consumers before conducting a hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that the effects of motivation factors on purchasing intention were all supported. As for moderating effects of concerns for e-commerce, privacy concerns by time saving, perceived ease of use, and security concerns by cost saving were found to be statistically significant. Privacy concerns by cost saving and business integrity concerns by time saving were also found to be statistically significant, but had a positive effect as opposed to an initial prediction. The finding denotes that, in order to reduce concerns for e-commerce, consumers may prefer using the online shops they can trust based on their previous shopping experience. Various concerns identified and analyzed in this study are clues to better understanding what potentially motivates or obstructs consumers to shop online, thereby helping businesses thrive in the online open market.

“…Therefore, researchers have to be careful when attempting to generalize the results to other social, economic, legal and cultural environments. Privacy is a relative concept and may be related to cultural values [22]; what is considered private in one culture or legal region may not be considered private in another. For example, people in the U.S. tend to take a "privacy pragmatist" perspective, whereas Europeans (including Germans) are concerned about their privacy and are more likely to take the perspective of "privacy fundamentalists" [13].…”
