Predicting the antecedents of trust in social commerce – A hybrid structural equation modeling with neural network approach
Abstract
Abstract Trust is an essential concern in s-commerce. Though existing research has studied the association between trust and purchasing intention; the determinants of the formation of trust in s-commerce remain largely unexplored. This study examines the determinants of trust in s-commerce based on social presence and social support. Unlike most business research, we applied a hybrid SEM-ANN approach that can detect non-linear and non-compensatory relationships. Linear and compensatory models assume that a shortfall in one factor may be compensated by other factors. However, consumer decision-making processes are complicated and non-compensatory and linear models tend to oversimplify these processes. Criterion sampling was used to gather 462 datasets of social commerce users using a mall intercept technique. Information support has the strongest effect followed by the social presence of interaction with the sellers, income and social presence of others. The integrated model predicts 76.9% trust in s-commerce. Theoretical and managerial contributions are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
