THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Online Shopping is a fast growing concept nowadays, globally, and it is

seen that the number of online shops have been increasing. It is also obvious

that there has been an upward trend of consumers who want to purchase

online rather than conventional shopping. Millennials as the biggest supporter

of the online market will contribute to the success of online retails in the

future. The Internet is widely used by people of this generation and in fact,

people feel much more comfortable using this internet for a variety of

purposes including Online Shopping.

The growth of internet technology has found a strong impact on global

business. The internet created a new environment of e-commerce and has

provided opportunities to connect busing through the internet across

worldwide. The usage of the internet has increased due to its significant tools

of fast information delivery to the users also providing more choices of

browsing in a shortest possible time. Today, the internet is used for several
NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

purposes among online shopping. Online shopping opens a new window for

the business which is known as business-to-consumer where individual

benefits using internet technology to buy and sell products electronically.

The development of internet technology has a significant impact on

international trade. The internet has given rise to a brand-new e-commerce

environment and made it possible to connect businesses online all over the

world (Alkailani & Kumar, 2011). Due to the internet's important instruments

for quick information delivery to consumers and its provision of more surfing

options in the shortest amount of time, usage has expanded. Today's

population of online shoppers uses the internet for a variety of purposes.

Online shopping offers a new window for the business which is known as

business-to-consumer (B2C)where individual advantages using internet

technology to buy and sell things electronically (Masoud,2013).

The online shopping required more customer intention compared to

purchasing physically (Chowdhury & Ahmad, 2012).Although, the rapid

growth of online shopping market is optimistic for the future growth but

negative aspects arose in conventional shopping methods. Lack of visual

contact or physical existence of the product the trust related factor among

consumers is highly dominated in online shopping and discourages methods

of online shopping (Lim et al., 2016).


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Masoud (2013) asserts that the success of the online retail industry depends

heavily on consumer trust as the need for customer protection and privacy

grows. Since there is no consumer input in the transaction process,

understanding consumer behavior is essential.

The students at the Nicolites Montessori School (ABM 12) who

presently support the internet market will have an impact on how well online

retail does. People in this age group routinely use the internet, and they are

actually fairly responsible doing so for a variety of purposes, including online

shopping. This research paper investigates the relationship between various

factors that influence consumer behavior when it comes to online shopping.

Background of the Study

Online shopping requires more customer intention compared to

purchasing physically. Although the rapid growth of the online shopping

market is optimistic for the future growth, negative aspects arose in

conventional shopping methods. Lack of visual contact or physical existence

of the product the trust related factor among consumers is highly dominated

in online shopping and discourages methods of online shopping. The

consumer behavior is critical to decode during transactions because

consumer contribution does not exist. The buyers easily find what product

they want to buy and buyers did not exert any physical effort unlike in the

conventional shopping. Different advantages and disadvantages are always


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

present. Consumers bought products in online shops such as clothes,

accessories, stationery products, etc. Buying online also brought benefits for

the buyers in terms of buying different products.The development of the

internet has altered how firms operate globally (Adnan,2014). Since the last

ten years, e-commerce and internet use have both increased significantly

(Yörük et al. 2011). People can connect with distant friends and family via the

internet with just a few mouse clicks (Khalil, 2014). People utilize the internet

for a variety of purposes, including product information searches, service

comparisons, pricing and quality assessments, and payment transfers

(Moshref et al. 2012).The internet has emerged as a vital tool for online

shopping and communication in many technologically advanced nations. On

the internet, where a large variety of products are available, people can

conduct searches for information and products at any time of day (Moshref et

al. 2012). InAlong with the popularity of the internet, the online retail industry

is expanding year after year (Ariff et al. 2013). Online features such as

convenience, usability, affordability, time savings, and other reasons have led

to a shift toward online buying.Compared to physically shopping, products

and brands are delivered quickly (Adnan, 2014).

term orientation, subjective norms, facilitating conditions (access to resources

to engage in a behavior), and direct and moderating effects of culture Triandis

(1994). In order to comprehend the concept of control in the context of B2C e-

commerce, this study focuses on self-efficacy. Consequently, the term

"perceived behavioral control" is used to describe the "customer perception of

control over a possible transaction, obtained from supporting situations that

render such control." Pavlou & Chai, (2002). Both the intent to transact and

the actual transaction are positively affected directly by perceived behavior

control Ajzen (1991). A possible transaction's attitude is the "total appraisal of

desirability with a certain Web merchant" in the context of e-commerce

Pavlou & Chai (2002). The expectation is that attitude will positively affect the

desire to transact Ajzen (1991) The consumer intends to engage in an

electronic exchange connection with Web shops and has the intention to

make a purchase online. The behavioral intention of customers to engage in

online purchasing can be understood as the consumers' intention to transact

in e-commerce Pavlou & Chai (2002). In both countries, it is thought that the

intent to transact influences the actual transaction favorably.

Conceptual Framework

Applying the foregoing theory of Pavlou & Chai (2002), the

conceptual framework of the study presents the system of concepts,

assumptions, expectations, and outcomes that support this research study.

Ahmed, Z. et. al., (2017) The research findings have managerial

implications for a variety of stakeholders. The findings also provide certain

understandings and feedback to e-traders in order for them to develop and

apply different trade tactics in order to increase consumers' online purchasing

intentions. Web-retailers may offer free subscriptions to potential online

buyers as well as free samples to test the services and products to create the

conditions for perceived benefits. According to the current research, domain

specific innovativeness has a positive and significant effect on customer


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

purchasing intention, so web-retailers may use new and latest features to

make their online shopping stores more appealing and user friendly. To

increase consumer impulse purchase orientation, web-retailers may send e-

mail updates on product improvements or offer exceptional discounts for a

limited time to attract potential customers.

Al-Debei, M. et. al., (2015) The goal of this paper is to investigate

Jordanian consumer attitudes toward online shopping. In order to investigate

the effects of trust, perceived benefits, perceived web quality, and electronic

word of mouth (eWOM) on consumer attitudes toward online shopping, the

paper introduces an integrated model that includes these variables and their

relationships.The empirical findings of this study indicate that trust and

perceived benefits influence consumer attitudes toward online shopping.

Trust is a function of perceived web quality and eWOM, and eWOM is a

function of perceived web quality. According to the findings, trust and

perceived benefits are important predictors of consumer attitudes toward

online shopping. Furthermore, the authors discovered that higher levels of

perceived web quality are associated with higher levels of trust in an online

shopping website. Perceived web quality was discovered to be a direct

predictor of trust, and the latter influences perceived benefits positively and

significantly. Furthermore, the authors discovered that perceived benefits and

trust accounted for 28% of the variation in online shopping attitudes.

Bashir, R. et. al., (2015) This research paper investigates the

relationship between various factors that influence consumer behavior when it

comes to online shopping. Online shopping refers to the recent trends of

being able to buy everything from home. The focus of this research is to

explain the influence of five major variables that were derived from literature.

Trust, time, product variety, convenience, and privacy are the variables that

determine how consumer purchasing behavior reflects online shopping

trends. Data was collected using a specific measuring instrument. This

instrument was a completely self-developed and standardized two-section

questionnaire. According to the statistical analysis of the data, trust and

convenience will have a significant impact on the decision to buy online or

not.

Ariff, M. et. al., (2014) The growth of e-commerce has increased the

global popularity of online shopping. According to reports, the Malaysian

online shopping market was worth RM1.8 billion in 2013 and is expected to

grow to RM5 billion by 2015. However, in 2012, online shopping was ranked

11th out of 15 reasons for using the internet. Consumers' perceived risks of

online shopping have emerged as a hot research topic because they directly

influence users' attitudes toward online purchasing, and their attitudes have a

significant impact on online purchasing behavior. This study provides

empirical evidence in the study of consumer online behavior through its


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

conceptualization of consumers' perceived risk, attitude, and online shopping

behavior.

Prashar, S. et.al., (2017) In recent years, India's e-commerce industry

has experienced unprecedented growth. Investors have been aggressively

funding India's e-commerce sector, recognizing the country's significant e-

retail opportunity across multiple segments. This expansion has been fueled

by rapid technological adoption, rising living standards, an aging population,

and an economically advancing middle class, as well as increased access to

the Internet via broadband and the use of smartphones and tablets. The entry

of global e-commerce behemoths has heightened competition for domestic

players. Web atmospherics are used by e-retailers to differentiate themselves

from competitors and to elicit positive cognitive and emotional states in online

customers. However, despite the fact that the Indian online market is

expanding at an exponential rate, it remains unexplored in terms of shopping

behavior.

Rungsrisawat, S. et. al., (2019) The goal of this research is to identify

the factors that encourage and influence consumers' online purchasing

behavior. In a world where everything is available on the internet and

everything is becoming digitized, developing and emerging markets are still

lagging behind developed markets and must catch up in order to compete.


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

There are numerous factors that influence consumers' online purchasing

behavior, but this study will only look at those that have the greatest impact.

Zendehdel, M. et. al., (2016) Recent advancements in Internet

communication have altered business performance and interactions between

producers and consumers. The Malaysian government has made numerous

efforts to provide the society with electronic devices to facilitate Internet

commerce or e-marketing. Paying attention to the factors influencing online

shopping attitudes is critical for marketers developing marketing strategies

and increasing sales. This study investigates the factors influencing students'

online shopping attitudes in Malaysian universities around the Klang Valley

area. The study found collectivism/individualism to be at the individual level.

Previous research has revealed that individualism/collectivism appears to be

the most widely used approach in cultural consumer behavior.

Roy, P. et.al., (2022) The study's goal is to assess the impact of

COVID-19 and to identify the factors that influence consumer purchasing

behavior in both online and offline settings. There was a review of conceptual

and empirical studies on consumer purchasing behavior in relation to online

and offline shopping. The literature review was carried out using a term-based

search approach that was limited to a specific timeframe and online

databases. Based on commonalities and trends, the variables that influence

consumer purchasing behavior toward online and offline shopping were


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

grouped together. Several major factors related to online and offline

purchasing influenced consumer purchase behavior during the COVID-19

crisis, according to the study.

Hwang, Y., et. al., (2014) The purpose of this paper is to find studies

on online purchase behavior research that were published after 2000 in the

major management information systems (MIS) and electronic commerce

journals. These are classified website usage studies and online purchasing

behavior studies, respectively. The review provides a comprehensive picture

of the domain of online consumer behavior. The paper provides an insight

into the field of electronic commerce and online consumer behavior with

further discussions on theoretical and practical implications of these studies.

Mathew, P. et. al., (2014) With over 200 million Internet users in India,

according to October 2013 data, e-commerce holds great promise. However,

converting e-users into e-consumers still remains a challenging task for e-

retailers. Although Internet penetration has increased in India, capitalizing on

market potential is largely dependent on how Indian online users use the

Internet. This study looks at the factors that influence online purchases in

India. Because these variables do not influence online purchase behavior

independently, we attempted to establish interrelationships between these

variables (Internet usage, perceived risk, website attributes, influence of


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

previous online shopping experience on perceived risks) to better understand

purchasing behavior.

Legaspi, J. et al., (2018) The study about “Impulsive Buying Behavior

of Millennial on Online Shopping” . The objective of their study is to examine

the extent, findings on consumer behavior among millennial in the Philippines

regarding online impulse purchase behaviors. Study how the growing

accessibility of goods and services with online possibilities has led to a

diversification in the purchasing habits of Filipino consumers. In four scales,

the study described Filipino Millennial as online impulse buyers: the Level of

Impulsiveness in Purchase Decision Scale, the Consumer Impulsiveness

Scale, the Optimum Stimulation Level Scale, and the Self-monitoring Scale in

the local context. Participants were millennial between the ages of 19 and 35

who were unmarried, married, working or in school. These Millennials utilize

social media (such as Instagram and Facebook) and have signed up to get

promotional emails from various businesses and people. They've tried using a

credit card, debit card, or cash-on-delivery to make purchases

online.According to the findings, when it comes to internet buying, Filipino

Millennials do not make impulsive purchases. The impression of security

flaws and the quantity of options available through other traditional retail
NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

channels have been cited as important impediments to increasing the

incidence of impulsive purchases made online.

Nartea, M. et al., (2019) The Philippines has risen to third place among

the Asia Pacific nations in terms of the percentage of people who use the

platform for online product purchases. This is because many people have

abandoned the traditional form of trading goods and are now participating in

the online shopping craze. The aim of their study aim the answer this

research question: “What factors are affecting the buying behavior of

consumers?” sought to understand how the variables of online shopping

affect how consumers make purchases. The researcher chose to employ

the present day. The findings showed that customers take into account

elements like sales promotion, advertising, and social atmosphere, Feedback,

Payment procedure, and Logistics, and that they go through a Consumer

or the Pearson Correlation Coefficient that the elements of online shopping

and consumer purchases have a substantial relationship Making decisions

in technology, but also by consumers' innate propensity to engage in

experimental consumption and buying. The researcher predicted that due to

the Internet, there are now many opportunities for shoppers to engage in

exploratory activity.The thesis of their study is that online buying has

promoted information exploration, increased Involvement in evaluation and

impulsive purchasing to raise consumers' optimum stimulation levels (OSLs).

It employed the general purchase decision model as a framework to assess

online shopper exploration. They investigate the putative association using

descriptive research utilizing an online poll of 388 internet users. Internal

consistency was validated by principal component analysis on the OSL and

exploratory buying behavior components measurements, which are empirical.

Variety-seeking, sensation-seeking, and inattentiveness were revealed to be

OSL qualities. A statistically substantial relationship with actual exploratory

customer activity. The greatest variety-seeking OSL display was Purchasing

and information-seeking behavior have correlation coefficients above 0.50.

The researcher conclude, that across the range of information,

sensation-seeking shown the smallest correlation with exploratory purchasing

behavior. Consumer inattentiveness showed the largest link with impulsive

buying, while acquisition to purchase behavior. Income did not significantly

influence OSL features related to exploratory consumer behavior, either

directly or indirectly.

Braza, N. et. al., (2022) entitled “Impact of Advertisements on the

Buying Behavior of rural consumers in Laur, Nueva Ecija, Philippines”. The

objective of their study is to investigate how advertising affects rural families

in Laur, Nueva Ecija, Philippines, when making FMCG purchases. It tries to

ascertain how rural households view advertising and what elements should

be taken into account to create a specific commercial that is appropriate for

rural families. The study employed a quantitative methodology, and data will

be gathered through the use of random sampling and descriptive correlational

research. Their study will assist firms in comprehending how marketing

impact consumer behavior in rural areas. In order to effectively interact with

and build relationships with rural clients, these businesses will enhance and

coordinate their promotional materials.

Bacay, I. et al., (2022) The study concentrated on Shopee's significant

online purchasing occasions, which will make the platform the top online

shopping app in the Philippines by 2020. In order to identify the gaps in an

online event, the study empirically observed and analyzed how the factors

influenced users to participate and develop their purchase intentions while

taking the ongoing pandemic into consideration. The factors that were

observed are Celebrity Endorsers & Social Media Influencers, Advertising

Appeal, Creative Sales Promotion/s, and Timing. The study used a online

survey questionnaire, allowing the researchers to acquire quantifiable data


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

through Likert Scale questions or statements that allowed the respondents to

answer depending on their level of agreement. It was determined that the

effectiveness of each factor and its influence on purchase intention was

revealed by performing Descriptive Statistics and Regression Analysis that

creative sales promotions (offering free vouchers, providing promotional

codes, discount deals, etc.) to consumers and timing of events have a

significant effect on Shopee users' purchase intention, which are ideal for

marketers to use as tools to develop effective marketing strategies to attract

customers.

Moreno, D. et. al,. (2022) The study's findings indicate that online trust

has a positive impact and influence on customers' online impulse-buying

behavior. This suggests that as online trust becomes more visible in

customers' minds, the desire to buy impulsively grows. The study adds to our

understanding of the topic by incorporating a comprehensive set of contextual

indicators that influence online trust, all of which are significant. As a result,

online businesses must prioritize external factors that influence purchasing

behavior, such as e-content, e-design, e-reviews, and e-promotions.

Furthermore, equal importance should be given to quality, security and safety,

and transparency in order to build online trust among consumers and provide

the highest level of perceived enjoyment among their customers, which may

result in customer relationship and loyalty.

Dulay, F. A et. Al., (2022) Despite increased e-commerce sales, the

Philippines lags behind other countries in terms of expanding and advancing

e-commerce. The COVID-19 epidemic has altered and claims to permanently

alter Filipino consumers' online shopping patterns. According to the findings

of this study, Filipino consumers of all ages are eager to make their online

transactions worthwhile. Consumers will try to learn and seek for as much

information on electronic devices as possible, even if it means going outside

the platform, in order to decide whether or not to purchase the product.

Because physical inspection is not possible when purchasing through internet

markets. Following the completion of this research study, the researchers

discovered that the Product-Related Details, namely the Brand, Price, Quality,

and Advertisement, have the biggest influence on Filipino consumers'

purchase behavior on electronic items. The researchers anticipated the

findings since this study will help Shopee and, in particular, Lazada align and

improve the availability of information and product placement on the platform.

Manapul, K. et. al,. (2022) The study's findings were able to provide

new behavioral tools to online retailers in the Philippines, as well as the notion

that shipping fees influence most consumers but not necessarily in terms of

their customer purchase decisions, as when it's an item they consider

essential or satisfactory according to their personal standards, they don't mind

shouldering the shipping fee, but rather their likelihood of purchasing from
NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

various e-commerce sites.. The researchers discovered that when offered

and given a lower shipping fee and promotions such as free shipping,

discounted shipping, and so on, most online buyers are persuaded to spend

more. Finally, shipping charge promotions are beneficial to firms as a

technique for enticing potential clients to try out their e-commerce. Shipping

charge promotions allegedly urge existing clients into adding greater volume

into their purchase habits.Given the importance of shipping rules in the fast

expanding online retail sector, the researchers feel that additional research on

this topic could provide significant insights into customer behavior as well as

online e-commerce policy. It is critical to investigate free shipping on shipment

returns. The study also noted Shopee's unique shipping techniques, such as

providing free shipping vouchers in exchange for using their product Shopee

pay and providing free shipping when purchasing from overseas vendors.

These new free shipping tactics demonstrate the relevance of shipping

policies for e-commerce firms and provide incentive for additional research.

Astoriano, L. et. al,.(2022) The researchers sought to know the link

between consumer involvement and digital marketing, which leads to

purchase intentions. Given that Filipino customers might be regarded as

modernized, the study attempted to create an in-depth analysis of how firms

would adjust their course and opt-in transcendence towards technological

advancement. Furthermore, as stated in the researchers' findings, the study


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

was able to solidify its assumptions. The findings suggested a good

consequence in which digital marketing was viewed as a practical and

necessary aspect of today's generation of marketing and prepared the way for

eCommerce, elaborating the links between customer involvement, digital

marketing, and purchase intentions. The current study has filled a gap in the

literature by investigating the influence of digital marketing in the Philippines.

The study shows marketers, businesses, and future academics how

marketing content delivered via social media and email affects consumer

behavior, specifically customer engagement and buy intent.

De Guzman, A. et al,. (2022) entitled ‘Oniomania: A Phenomenological

Study on Online Shopping Addiction’ The goal of this study was to identify the

qualities that encourage participants to use online shopping apps and

websites. The findings may lead to the conclusion that people shop online for

the convenience of having things and services delivered to them without

having to leave their homes. Boredom can also impact impulsive purchases,

especially when it serves as a stimulus for spending. And the majority of

respondents stated they do their shopping online on a regular basis.For many

people who shop online using scrolling online purchasing software, watching

Facebook live selling has become a form of entertainment. Finally, the

necessity for participants to stay up with the latest developments in the

environment when purchasing items and services is a frequent element that


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

motivates people to download and use online shopping apps like Lazada and

Shopee. Based on the participants' personal experiences with online

shopping addiction, the researchers concluded that online shopping

applications or websites help our users cope with the ennui caused by the

epidemic in recent years.Being addicted to internet shopping improves one's

stress-coping mechanisms and motivation to study because it allows one to

release negative feelings and brighten one's mood. Some participants,

however, say that their online shopping addiction is causing financial troubles

(they spend beyond their means) and has resulted in the dissolution or strain

of their relationships. Furthermore, it reveals that an online shopping

addiction, also known as Oniomania, leads to impulsive and compulsive

purchasing behavior.The study also discovered that the majority of individuals

are more open with their friends about their online shopping

addiction/Oniomania than with their relatives. Addiction to internet purchasing

causes a host of issues and challenges that cannot be avoided. According to

them, the most effective strategy to break an internet shopping addiction is to

give people time to think about what they want to buy, weigh the pros and

negatives, and evaluate other elements of their lives that need to be

addressed.

Shahzad (2015) Online commerce is expanding daily. Online shopping

has several advantages, including time savings, ease, and a wide selection of

goods. Online buying is viewed by consumers to involve a variety of

perceived risk considerations and psychological factors. Financial loss,

product performance risk, delivery risk, trust & security risk, and website

design risk are all examples of perceived risk. The empirical data will be

gathered from a population of 100 respondents.

Adnan, H. (2014) In various technologically developed countries,

internet has become an important medium of communication and online

shopping. People can search products and information 24 hours a day over

the internet where a wide selection of products is available (Moshref et al.

2012). In addition to the popularity of internet, the growth of online shopping

business is increasing every year (Ariff et al. 2013). There has been a move

towards online shopping because of different online factors including

convenience, ease of use, low cost, time saving, various online products and

brands, with fast delivery as compared to shopping physically (Adnan, 2014).

Online shopping is the third most common use of internet after web surfing

and email uses (Yörük et al. 2011). Like in all marketplaces, also on the
NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

internet buyers and sellers come together to share products, services, and

information (Adnan, 2014). Consumer can buy the products and services

anytime from anywhere and thereby pass over the limitations of time and

place (Adnan, 2014).

Alyami, Spiteri (2015) Few studies have looked into why international

university students (IUSs) shop online for psychological and practical

reasons. This study uses a modified version of the Technology Acceptance

Model to evaluate the motives, perceptions, and behavior of 142 IUSs (TAM).

Results show that perceived amusement had a greater influence on attitudes

about online purchasing than perceived usefulness and perceived self-

efficacy (ATT). Attitude toward risk (ATT) and behavioral intentions (BI) had

no relationship with one another, and neither did actual behavior. Experience

was closely associated to ATT, while TAM measurements were not

significantly impacted by demographics. The main driving forces for IUSs to

shop online were amusement and utility. (E. Alyami, L. Spiteri, 2015)

Islam, (2021) Consumers now have access to the most cutting-edge

platforms and innovative options for buying and selling through online

marketplaces thanks to China's booming e-commerce market and the quick

development of e-platforms there. Online shopping will unquestionably take

over as the primary method of shopping in the future. Cross-border online

shopping has developed into one of the upcoming key business models
NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) of China, which aims to set the

world on a new trajectory of higher growth and human development through

the connectivity of infrastructure, increased trade, and investment. (MD S.

Islam, 2021)

Chen et. al., (2012) Positive impulses are less powerful stimuli and

draw less attention than negative impulses. The research demonstrates that

when the percentage of unfavorable internet evaluations regarding a certain

good increases, shoppers' intentions decrease. When a prospective customer

encounters a significant number of bad web reviews, a negative anticipation

of the product is created.

Agift et al., (2014) A marketer must consider a variety of strategies

while trying to sell their goods, and in the present environment, e-commerce

is the most widely used method. Everything is available online from A to Z,

whether it is durable or not. Some websites are made expressly to offer only a

certain type of product, while others sell everything. Customers are influenced

to shop online by important features like comprehensive information, comfort

and relaxed purchasing, less time consumption, and simple pricing

comparison. (Agift et al., 2014) Agift, A., Rekha, V. and Nisha, C. (2014),

Prashar et. al., (2017) In India, the e-commerce market has grown at

an unparalleled rate in recent years. Investors have been actively supporting

the e-commerce industry, eyeing India's large e-retail opportunity across


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

several segments. Rapid technological advancement, rising living standards,

an aging population, the rise of the middle class, as well as increased use of

smartphones and tablets and broadband have all contributed to this

expansion. The competition for domestic players has expanded as a result of

the advent of international e-commerce behemoths. To set themselves apart

from their rivals and encourage favorable cognitive and emotional states in

online shoppers, e-retailers use web atmospherics. Even though the Indian

online industry is expanding rapidly, little is known about its consumers'

purchasing habits.

Baek et. al., (2012), consumers are more likely than ever to read

evaluations of products before making an online purchase. Reviews from

other customers who have already purchased the goods through online

shopping websites are supplied as an alternative to the official product

information offered by the merchants.

Gu et. al., (2021) National businesses had the chance to diversify their

product lines in order to replace imported goods and offer other businesses

and international enterprises' branches with the resources they need. B2C

sectors, on the other hand, saw a reduction in consumer spending power and

international mobility. Additionally, customers continued to favor cheap goods

and services while shifting their priorities toward health and safety. Products

that enhance a sense of coziness and comfort in a living area attracted more
NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

attention than usual. In general, consumers postponed some of their

demands due to the situation's uncertainty and unpredictability. Both the

consumer market and the industrial market were confronted with the need to

accelerate digitalization and make it simple to locate and purchase products

online. Online sales shot up by a lot as a result of the pandemic. Customers

went online to shop because they couldn't go to stores and were short on

cash, which led to an increase in online purchases. Before the pandemic,

consumers were typically savvy consumers. COVID-19 accelerated this trend,

causing some shopping categories, such as experiences, to gradually drop

down on their priority lists.

Sivanesan, (2017) Online shopping, often known as the act of buying

and selling products through the internet, is the process of making a purchase

from a seller directly and without the need of a middleman. Customers can

choose from a wide range of goods and services through online retailers'

sales, and they can compare those prices with those offered by other

intermediaries to find the best bargain possible (Sivanesan, 2017)

LOCAL

Mahinay et. al., (2016), most individuals today depend on the Internet's

accessibility, which is a clear phenomena in today's environment. Everyone

appears to be drawn into the path that the Internet provides for individuals to

acquire and exchange information, receive and provide a service, and even
NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

advertise and buy a product. Additionally, online purchasing has developed

and is now more common. Consumers can accomplish these things online

rather than physically visiting a particular business, searching for a product, or

comparing costs. The customer enjoys and benefits from online shopping

since, and hassle-free shopping experience that these online shopping

platforms can provide.

So (2019) more and more consumers claim to prefer internet shopping

due to its many benefits, including ease, time savings, and a wide selection of

products. Marketers, businessmen, and entrepreneurs in the Philippines are

impacted by how Filipino consumers behave when purchasing online and the

variables that motivate them to do so. Filipino consumers have a certain

purchasing habit that they live by. Numerous elements, including

psychological, social, cultural, and personal ones, can have a significant

impact on a consumer's behavior. These characteristics, which strongly

influence consumer internet shopping, may allow consumers to develop their

own product preferences, which will inevitably boost market share and

profitability for marketers, business owners, and entrepreneurs.

Sangalang et. al., (2017) that because impulsive buying has become a

common occurrence across all retail forms, it has been noted as one of the

key studies by marketers and researchers. Everybody's lifestyle has included

this consumer purchasing behavior to the point where they occasionally do


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

not even realize they are doing it. The retail sector is currently experiencing

intense market competition, and all types of businesses use promotions in

their operations and utilize various marketing methods to keep clients. As a

result, encouraging impulsive purchases of various commodities in the retail

market may turn into a powerful competitive advantage and a rich source of

income for the retail store. Because it can increase a company's sales, it is

important for retailers to understand impulse buying behavior.

Dy, et. al., (2019) The last few years have seen changes in the

advertising industry due to modernization, advancement, organizational

computerization, and other factors. This new form of advertising that relies on

an internal system is known as web-based promoting and is popular in the

modern age due to the web's inherent openness. One could characterize

web-based advertising as the embodiment of modern showcasing.

Organizations all throughout the world have used web-based advertising in

some way to increase their potential profit. Web-based advertising is used by

businesses to find ways to better serve their customers.

Zarco, T. (2015) This study successfully demonstrated how review

valence affected participants' perceptions of product quality, attitudes, and

intentions to recommend, purchase, and download movies. Positive reviews

tended to lead to more favorable attitudes toward both films, whereas

negative reviews had the opposite effect. However, post-hoc analysis


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

revealed that review valence had a greater impact on consumer attitudes and

perceptions of quality, but was less effective in influencing actual purchase

intentions. Post-hoc tests revealed a negativity bias, indicating that negative

reviews had a greater impact than positive reviews.

Macarat, M. T. (2022) Due to a decline in foot traffic brought on by the

stringent community lockdowns that were implemented as part of the

government mission to ensure safety during the COVID-19 pandemic

outbreak, company operations suffered. Consumer purchasing patterns and

habits altered as a result of the crisis, posing a challenge to businesses that

needed to change how they operated and how they used marketing to reach

out to customers. According to a variety of academic works, hedonic and

utilitarian motivations have an impact on consumer purchase behavior.

Utilitarianism is defined as a value with the functional advantages that

customers receive from a product, whereas hedonic is the instantaneous

psychological enjoyment that results from engaging in an activity or using a

product.Japson, F. et. al., (2017) Despite its limitations, the study was able to

produce the following findings: 1) vanity has a significant effect on

materialism. 2) Anxiety fails to mediate the relationship between consumer

vanity and materialism, despite a significant relationship with materialism

alone; and 3) there are no significant differences in the scores of Filipino

males and females regarding consumer vanity and materialism, indicating


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

that both genders in the Philippines have similar spending behavior. Following

the conclusion of these statements, it is possible to conclude that Filipino

spending behavior and materialism are influenced by vanity in both men and

women. This phenomenon could be attributed to the widespread influence of

Western culture brought about by the period of Western colonization and

rising globalization (Frith & Frith, 1990).

Balderaz, B. et. al., (2022) The primary goal of this research is to

identify the customer-based brand equity factors that influence online

shopping satisfaction. This also aimed to determine if there is a significant

difference on the level of online shopping satisfaction when analyzed

according to profile of respondents. The descriptive-correlation research

design was used in this study's non-experimental quantitative research.

Structured survey questionnaire was used as the research instrument. The

results of the T-test and Analysis of Variance revealed that there is a

significant difference in online shopping satisfaction based on gross monthly

income. Using Stepwise Regression, the results revealed that brand loyalty,

perceived quality, and brand awareness are customer-based brand equity

factors that have a significant influence on online shopping satisfaction.

Abella, J. et. al., (2021) Despite the fact that online shopping platforms

have prompted significant changes in several aspects of the digital market,

the reasons why consumers buy online remain unclear. Online shopping has
NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

been remodeled through various e-commerce platforms that were

progressing even before the coronavirus pandemic began, owing to

technological advancements and changing consumer demand. The study

looked at whether there were any significant changes in the online shopping

habits of Metropolitan Cebu residents during the community quarantine

period. To determine the determinants of the 543 randomly selected

participants' consumer behavior, online shopping perception, and online

purchasing challenges during the quarantine, a descriptive method and

convenience sampling technique were used.

C. Synthesis of the Study

Bashir, R. et. al., (2015) According to the statistical analysis of the

data, trust and convenience will have a significant impact on the decision to

buy online or not.

Zendehdel, M. et. al., (2016) The study found

collectivism/individualism to be at the individual level. Previous research has

revealed that individualism/collectivism appears to be the most widely used

approach in cultural consumer behavior.

features related to exploratory consumer behavior, either directly or indirectly.

Both local and foreign researchers included in the study made a

significant effort to present a variety of theories on the factors influencing

customers' purchasing behavior, such as psychologically, socially, and

through advertisements. Because they focused on the variables that affect

customers' purchasing decisions, all of the experts' research are comparable

to this one. The present study, however, differed from the previous studies in

a variety of ways, including the type of questionnaire utilized, the

methodology used, the study's location, timing, and statistical tools.


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Chapter 3

This chapter presents the research method, population and sampling,

respondents/participants of the study, research instruments, validation of the

instrument, data gathering procedure and statistical tools employed in the

treatment, and analysis of data.

Research Method

According to Mccombes (2015), survey research design means

collecting information about a group of people by asking them questions and

analyzing the results. It is used as a method of gathering data in many

different fields. Survery research design is a good choice when researchers

want to find out about the characteristics, preferences, opinions, or beliefs of

a group of people. In this study design, surveys are used as a tool by

researchers to gain a greater understanding about individual or group


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

perspectives relative to a particular concept or topic of interest. A survey

typically consists of a set of structured questions where each question is

designed to obtain a specific piece of information as cited by Dr. Mills (2021).

The researchers will use the survey research design in their study.

Moreover, it has an aim in ascertaining the different factors that may put a

significant impact on student's (customer) purchasing behavior via online

shopping at any E-commerce business site. Therefore, the idea of this type of

research is to present the respondents knowledge or perspectives with

regards to a particular topic that has been given. In addition to this. In turn,

this method can assist researchers better understand various populations or

groups of people, uncover any challenges, or worries that respondents may

have, and/or result in the identification or development of solutions based on

those issues. Before performing more in-depth research, surveys are a

helpful approach to ascertain general patterns or viewpoints about a topic

within a specific group.

Respondents of the Study

All ABM 12 students at Nicolites Montessori School will serve as

responders for the study. As a result, the researchers used the purposive

sampling approach. In other words, the Slovin's Formula was not used by the

researchers to solve the population problem.


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Researchers study what are the perceived effects of online shopping to

students (customers) towards their buying behavior for them to be advised

regarding the aforementioned topic. The respondents of the study were

enclosed to the customers of some online shops of Nicolites Montessori

School comprising 57 (fifty seven) respondents from grade twelve (12) ABM.

In accordance, there were 57 (Fifty seven) selected respondents from

ABM 12. Researchers seek to gain important insights on the effects of online

shopping towards customers' purchasing behavior of ABM 12 students in

Nicolites Montessori School. Furthermore, the researchers used "purposive"

or "convenience" sampling in order to gather the needed information from the

ABM 12 of Nicolites Montessori School. A non-random sampling strategy is

one that uses purposeful sampling. In purposive sampling, the researcher

consciously chooses a sample that is most likely to offer information that will

answer the research question. In qualitative research, this kind of sampling

strategy is frequently employed since it enables the researcher to choose

participants who have first-hand knowledge of the topic under investigation.

The data and information collected from the respondents will be presented,

interpreted, and analyzed according to their responses. The second part of

the question gathered information about their perception on online

purchasing by using utilize the 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1= “Strongly

disagree” to 4= “Strongly agree.”


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Research Instrument

The survey questionnaire research instrument will be used by the

researchers in gathering and collecting data for this study. The questionnaire

contains a series of questions meant for ABM-12 students to answer in order

to learn about the Perceived effects of online shopping on purchasing

behavior. The survey questionnaire contains two separate questions. The

demographic profile of the respondents was obtained in the first question,

which included their age and gender. The survey's second question focuses

on how they perceive the influence of online shopping on purchase behavior.

Respondents can answer the first half of the question by entering personal

information such as their age and gender.

Construction and Validation of the Instrument

The questionnaire will be self-modified by the researchers. A set of

questionnaires will be created by the researchers, who will then offer it to the

research adviser for revision suggestions. The questionnaire was provided to

specialists or a person in a higher position at Nicolites Montessori School

after adjustments were made and the adviser gave his or her permission.

Before requesting consent from the target respondents for the pilot testing,

the researchers informed them that the experts had approved. Before the

respondents answered the questionnaire, the researchers walked them


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

through a pilot test. The surveys were tested by the researchers using pilot

testing. Thirty Pantalan Senior High School ABM 12 students participated in

the pilot testing as respondents. The researchers utilized Cronbach's Alpha to

judge whether or not the questionnaire was approved after collecting the

replies. The result will be interpreted as approved if it is 0.70 or higher and

rejected if it is 0.69 or below.

Data Gathering Procedures

The researchers gave the ABM 12 students the survey-questionnaire

in order to collect the data. The respondents provided their opinions in

response to questions about perceived effects of online shopping towards

purchasing behavior. Responses would be given on a 4-point Likert scale,

with 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 4 (Strongly Agree) (Strongly Agree). Strongly

Disagree, Disagree, Agree, and 4 are the responses (Strongly Agree). The

surveys were examined by the researchers to ensure that all the questions

had been answered once the respondents had finished them.

Statistical Treatment of Data

To evaluate and understand the data, several statistical tools were applied.

gathered:

1. The researchers used percentage distribution and frequency counting to

determine the respondents' demographic profile.


NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

2. The researchers utilized weighted mean and ranking to determine how

respondents felt about online shopping. A 4-point Likert Scale was also used

by the researchers to interpret the respondents' perceptions. Strongly Agree

is 3.26-4.00, Agree is 2.51-3.25, Disagree is 1.76-2.50, and Strongly Disagree

is 1.00-1.75.

3. The researchers used the Pearson's Correlation and T-test to determine

whether there was a significant association between the respondents'

responses and their perceptions of online purchasing.

Ethical Consideration

Bryman and Bell's ethical consideration principles will be applied by the

researcher (2007). The volunteers will not be harmed in any way as a result

of their participation in this study. Full consent will be sought from the

participants, pupils, and staff at Nicolites Montessori School prior to the study.

Furthermore, the privacy of research participants would be protected.

Respondents' voluntary participation in the study will be regarded as

extremely valuable. Furthermore, If they so desire, participants have the

ability to withdraw from the study at any time. A sufficient level of secrecy will

be maintained when handling the data. Any type of misleading material, as

well as biased representation of main data findings, will be avoided.

Maintaining the highest level of objectivity in debates and analyses

throughout the research, on the other hand, will be taken into account.
NICOLITES MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Furthermore, any affiliations, funding sources, and any conflicts of interest will

be disclosed. Finally, all communications regarding this action study shall be

honest and transparent.
