supports the idea that online buyers from a collectivist society form decisions taking into
consideration what other entities have to say instead deciding to engage in online
shopping alone.
acknowledge the problems and nuisances mentioned above related to trust when buying
products online on platforms such as websites. They see these things as something that
can affect them not only individually but also collectively. By not being able to
physically inspect a product brought online and identity and financial identity theft seems
to be a trust-related issue that the respondents are aware of. In spite of their awareness,
they still engage in online shopping. This is explained by the study of Baptista and
claimed that when buying products online, trust has a relatively weak effect on
Even under the concept of cultural collectivism, where the subjective norm
may still form negative perceptions towards their perceived behavior control concerning
The results of this paper contradict the claim of Giantari (2013, as cited in Gu &
Wu, 2019) that online behavioral intention and, consequently, online buying behavior is
significantly affected by perceived behavioral control. The claim of Giantari (2013) was
further supported by the study of Zendehdel et al. (2016), which suggests that if
information security, in general, is not guaranteed, shoppers are less likely to engage in
online shopping.
Summarizing the results on the three constructs, keeping in mind that respondents
of the survey are engaged in online shopping and are likely to engage in online shopping
behavior again, the attitude has a relatively stronger effect on online shoppers' behavioral
intention to buy than the subjective norm. Perceived behavioral control was found not to
have a significant effect on online shoppers’ behavioral intention to buy. In light of TPB,
results would suggest that if attitude and subjective norm are increased, online shoppers’
behavioral intention to buy would also increase. Ultimately, their actual buying behavior
positive responses on the three constructs are as follows: attitude= 81.68%, subjective
Tests were also made with the gender of the respondents concerning the
constructs of TPB and found no significant differences on the extent of effects of the
same, which means that males and females are statistically the same as no discernable
pattern on their responses were observed. The frequency of internet use also has no
bearing on the extent of the effect of the three constructs of TPB on the online buying
intention of shoppers.

The most notable finding in this section is the significant difference in the extent
of the effect of an online shopper's attitude. Because of the nature and scope of previous
studies using TPB, including the ones mentioned here, potential generational differences
were overlooked because they used respondents from one generational cohort only to
examine online shoppers’ behavioral intention to buy. Since the respondents are
statistically the same regarding the effect of subjective norm and perceived behavioral
control on online behavioral intention to buy, results consequently entail that their buying
behavior is generally the same. The subjective norm positively affects their online
behavioral intention to buy but not perceived behavioral control.
Previous researches generalized the whole population based on the responses coming
from specific generational cohorts; thus, they failed to discover any potential differences
in the online behavioral intention to buy of a specific population extracted from this
research. In this paper, it was found that attitude has a significantly greater extent of
Kahawandala and Peter (2020) made a study about the buying behavior of Generation
collectivist society, and claimed that this generation is the first to have been born in an
era where there is already a broad acceptance of digital solutions and platforms in
contrast with both Generation X and Y. For Generation Z, the internet and digital
platforms using the internet, including online shopping applications, websites, and other
platforms, have always been available and used, which explains their stronger positive
intention towards online shopping than the other two cohorts included in this study.
using Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter platforms. They can also easily read about other
users' or customers' positive attitudes. Attitude and perceived behavioral control have
had a significantly greater effect on those online shoppers using the internet since the
Likewise, the correlation of the three constructs was also tested and showed a
significant positive correlation between and among the three variables. This implies that
there is a direct linear relationship between and among them. This means that the other
variable is also expected to increase as one increases. Following the Pearson's correlation
interpretation of Schober et al. (2018), r=0.566 of attitude and subjective norm entails a
moderate positive correlation between these variables. r=-0.273 of attitude and perceived
behavioral control and r=-0.342 of subjective norm and perceived behavioral control both
suggest that, albeit statistically significant, there is a weak negative correlation between
these variables.
On the correlation analyses of the three constructs, attitude and subjective norm
showed the most substantial relationship. Because of the tight integration of interpersonal
opinions, comments, insights, and in the context of this study, individuals' attitudes on
their online shopping can affect the collective. Likewise, the decisions of individuals can
also be formed with the help of a collective. Usually, these are people or groups of people
important to them. This explains the moderate positive relationship between attitude and
subjective norm.
The correlation analysis between perceived behavioral control and attitude and perceived
shoppers' behavioral intention to buy, respondents do not feel a strong sense of control
regarding online shopping in general, yet they still engage in the same. This could be
explained by the positive effect of both attitude and subjective norm on online behavioral
intention to buy. Even though the respondents think that they lack control over online
would explain that respondents emphasized their attitude and subjective norm when
when deciding in general, take into consideration both individual and communal goals.
They generally think of the results of the decision they will make and its subsequent
effect on them and on the collective where they belong to and not so much on whether or
not they have a sense of control over that specific action. However, the weak relationship
of perceived behavioral control with attitude and subjective norm still suggests that if

exact relationship between each of the three constructs of TPB is still uncertain. The
correlation analysis of the three constructs of TPB is also supported by the study of Alexa
et al. (2021), which claims that subjective norm and perceived behavioral control affect
attitude.

terms of subjective norms as the question regarding other online users' expectations and
feelings to shop online showed the weakest results. However, it was found that online
shoppers care about what other customers have to say about their actual online shopping
experiences. The indicator on family and references groups, including friends, also
showed strong results, which further support the claim of Gu and Wu (2019) that friends
and family positively affect online shoppers’ behavioral intention to buy. This is strongly

the collectivist culture of the respondents, it is safer and more convenient to solicit
insights of other people in online platforms such as online shops and social media
applications. Many communications between and among family members are done
through these channels (Procentese et al., 2019). Social media interactions are also
ubiquitous nowadays among friends as they now complement and sometimes partially
The findings on the perceived behavioral control contradicted all the previous
research used in this paper. For instance, the study of Gu and Wu (2019) showed a

activities. Furthermore, Gu and Wu's study claims that online shopping is something that
shoppers can easily accomplish without much difficulty hence the significant effect of

in online shopping.
BEHAVIORAL INTENTION OF ONLINE SHOPPERS 50 The results of this paper
show that despite having a weak sense of perceived behavioral control, as evidenced by
respondents being bothered by not physically examining goods and being scared of the
online shopping. Another potential reason for the contradiction of this study compared to
other studies' results is that the Covid-19 pandemic has left customers with no choice but
to shop online due to government restrictions and protocols that are strictly observed in
the Philippines. A survey conducted by Statista (2020) showed that two of the main
reasons for the increase of online shopping are the imposed closure for non-essential
businesses and that Filipino Asians are generally practicing social distancing and want to
minimize time spent outside. If infected, an individual might potentially pose a risk to
their family members and friends, which are of great importance to members of
collectivist societies; thus, they try to limit their activities outside and generally follow
these enacted protocols and guidelines. What has not been studied before was the
possibility of differences in the extent of the effect of the three constructs of TPB on the
intention of online shoppers based on the generation they belong to. The results suggest
that respondents are statistically the same regarding the extent of subjective norms and
perceived behavioral control with their online behavioral intention to buy. Although
attitude has a positive effect on the online behavioral intention to buy of all the
respondents, results suggest that it has a greater extent of effect on Gen Z shoppers
compared to both Gen X and Y. It should be noteworthy that the majority of the Gen Z
respondents that took part in this study are university students thus the busy schedule
emphasized how efficient online shopping can be in terms of time and effort put in
physically picking up the parcel. Efficiency, in such context, would benefit Gen Z
university students the most since they are most likely stuck at home among the three
generational cohorts that are included in this study. Given the emphasis of attitude on
convenience in terms of time and effort spent shopping online, collectivism entails that
Gen Z online shoppers would have more time to spend with other people physically and
online. Furthermore, it can be concluded that increasing the positive attitudes would
have a significantly stronger extent of effect on Gen Z online shoppers compared to the
increase overall positive attitude towards online shopping since, albeit high, it yielded
Based on the results, the researcher recommends that future research can either target
individualist societies or compare the two different cultures. This way, marketers and

entails that individuals from collectivist societies might manifest individualist behavior,

behavioral intention to buy, the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) may also be used for
future research. This theory has been used to explain human behavior and is one of the
roots of the Theory of Planned Behavior, which describes intention as being formed only
by attitudes and subjective norms. The non-significant effect of perceived behavioral
control on the online behavioral intention to buy of collectivist societies would render
TRA a more precise way to predict the intention of online shoppers, emphasizing only on
attitude and subjective norm. It is also noteworthy that the respondents of the study of Gu
and Wu (2019), which is the basis of this study's survey questionnaire, were mainly
collectivist online shoppers who were highly educated and had relatively high incomes.
This present study did not account for the education and income level of the respondents.
There is a possibility that the respondents of the study of Gu and Wu (2019) were not
bothered by identity and financial identity theft. Future research can research the
difference of online shoppers from different income and education levels regarding their
perceived behavioral control to their online behavioral intention to buy since the results
of this study might not be replicated to online shoppers belonging to specific income or
individualism.
Also, with perceived behavioral control, future researchers can investigate the
possible reasons people are still engaging in online shopping despite the negative
potential effect on this since it has left many people with no choice but to depend on
online shopping for their daily necessities, among other products. Taking into
either disprove this conclusion or identify specific variables that make online shoppers
still want to be engaged in online shopping despite the weak sense of control over online
The significant difference in the extent of the effect of attitude on younger online
shoppers’ behavioral intention to buy can also be explored deeper. There might be a
specific reason for this significantly greater extent of effect. Future researchers can look
at the possible variables that specifically affect the attitude of Gen Z online shoppers to
increase their positive attitudes towards the same, which can give precious insights to
businesses that target Gen Z. Results of such studies would be beneficial and would give
valuable insights to businesses that have an online presence in the Philippines and other
Asian nations having collectivist culture that are also operating in platforms like Amazon,
Lazada, and Shopee which are the dominant online shopping platform in the region.
Future Implications
Based on the results wherein the respondents showed a positive attitude towards product
online, or at least ones that plan to have an online presence, should consider delivery
options to these addresses to increase the positive attitude of shoppers. This function has
been tightly integrated into popular online shopping platforms as you cannot complete a
transaction without a specified delivery address. There are, however, businesses where
customers can order products online but still have to physically go to a business-
Since the results on subjective norm showed that the respondents care about what
other people will have to say about their actual online shopping experiences, it can be
suggested that a business should consider creating a platform where online shoppers who
have already tried buying something from a specific online shop can write about their
experiences. Shopee, Lazada, and Zalora, among other online shopping platforms,
already have this under "Rating and Reviews," "Product rating," and "Reviews,"
respectively. Writing about online shopping experiences has been added to Facebook
function where shoppers can write about their online shopping experiences would be
reasonable. Additionally, in order to capitalize on the results which showed that the
comments and opinions of family members and friends positively affect online shoppers’
behavioral intention to buy, businesses may consider having social media presence given
Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, and Twitter, among other platforms, that online shoppers
can get comments, opinions, and insights about products bought online or online shops in
general.
With regards to perceived behavioral control, since the results showed that online
shoppers are bothered by risks associated with the security of personal and financial
identity, it can also be suggested that businesses and online shopping platforms can
their transactions or other measures for safer online transactions in the future.
Also, the significantly greater extent of the effect of attitude on Gen Z shoppers
may provide insights to online business owners suppose their target audiences are part of
the cohort Gen Z. In this case, businesses may aim to increase or at least improve the
positive perceptions of their audience concerning their attitude on online shopping. They
may capitalize on the efficiency of online shopping to customers and the fact that
respondents think online shopping saves them valuable time. There are many ways
wherein efficiency in terms of time can be improved in online shopping—a simple and
easy to use and navigate online shop, website, or application would be a reasonable
consideration. Businesses can also work closely with couriers for a potentially faster and
quicker delivery date; at the same time, businesses should also be able to pack ordered
goods promptly so that the same could be passed down to couriers and subsequently
delivered to customers without delay in case they do not have a business-owned delivery
channel.
