Abstract

The electronic commerce environment allows customers to search for information and purchase products and services via direct contact with internet markets. Purchasing through the internet is not a real experience of purchasing, but is based on some pictures, information and advertisements of products. To improve E-commerce environment in Iran, purchasing behavior of Iranian young adults in the internet shopping mall is analyzed in this study. The factors which influence the motivation of internet shopping and the selection of internet shopping mall is investigated, and statistical tests were applied between these factors and other variables such as gender, job, age and education. The results of the tests showed that there is a gender difference on one of the shopping mall selection factor (i.e., abundant information about products); also there is a gender difference on the one of the shopping motivation factor (i.e., possibility of comparing products). Besides, there is a job difference (student or non-student) on the factor of 'Purchase frequency per month'. Other facts are also found that Iranian consumers are not sure about a product's quality, so they refuse to buy products such as foods, clothes and other products. Additionally, they are dissatisfied about the safety of internet shopping malls.

전자상거래는 인터넷상에서 직접적인 접속을 통해 소비자들이 필요 정보를 검색하고 제품이나 서비스를 구매하는 것을 가능케 한다. 인터넷상의 구매 행위는 실질적인 경험은 아니지만 그림이나 제품 정보 및 광고 등에 근거하여 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 이란의 전자상거래 시장을 활성화하기 위해, 인터넷 쇼핑몰에서의 젊은 성인층의 구매 행태를 분석하였다. 즉, 인터넷 쇼핑 동기유발과 인터넷 쇼핑몰 선택에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 조사하였으며, 이러한 요인들과 성별, 직업, 연령, 교육정도와 같은 다른 요인들 사이의 상관관계를 밝히기 위해 통계적 가설검증을 수행하였다. 이 결과, 인터넷 쇼핑몰 선택 요인 중의 하나인 '풍부한 제품 정보' 요인에는 남녀 성별 차이가 존재한다는 것과, 쇼핑 동기 유발 요인 중의 하나인 '제품 비교 기능' 요인에도 남녀 차이가 존재한다는 것이 드러났다. 또한, '월 평균 구매 빈도' 요인은 학생과 비학생 간에 차이가 존재하였다. 그리고 일반적으로 이란 젊은 성인층에서는 인터넷 쇼핑몰에서의 상품의 품질을 신뢰하지 않으며 인터넷 쇼핑몰의 안전성에도 만족하지 못하고 있다는 것을 밝혀냈다.
