Impact of cultural dimensions in online trust: a cross-cultural study / Impacto das dimensÃes culturais na confianÃa online: um estudo cross-cultural

Davi de Castro Rocha 22 August 2012 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Studies suggest that online trust is fostered by the perception of its antecedents, such as the ability of the online seller, his demonstrations of benevolence, the security system of his website, the presence of seals from external regulators and the perception of the competence of the sales system. These predictors of online trust can be perceived differently among consumers of different countries, influenced by cultural values related to their country. It is proposed that cultural dimensions, specifically individualism versus collectivism and uncertainty avoidance, may, even indirectly, influence the development of trust between consumers and online retailers. Using theoretical framework of Hofstede (2001) and others scholars (JARVENPAA; TRACKTINSKY, 1999; LEE; TURBAN, 2001; CHOI; GEISTFELD, 2004; AN; KIM, 2008 among others), the survey was conducted in Fortaleza (Brazil) and Montreal (Canada), between 2011 Q3 and 2012 Q1. A survey was implemented using scales validated by previous researches. A descriptive data analysis was carried, as well as the assembly of a multiple linear regression model with online trust as the dependent variable. The results indicated rejection of assumptions about the appreciation of the Brazilian public by characteristics of benevolence from online vendors compared to the Canadian public, as well as rejection of assumption appreciation of Canadians on Brazilian relating to the perception of the competence of sales systems and guarantees verified by third parties in online stores. The results also suggested the statement of the assumptions made about the predilection of Canadians over the Brazilians in relation to the perception of the abilities of online retailers as well as the statement of the assumptions that Brazilian indicative attribute more importance to security of online systems, compared to the Canadian public. The study shows that culture affects the perception of consumers in collectivist and low uncertainty avoidance on the security system sales, while acting on the perception of consumerâs individualistic profile and low uncertainty avoidance in relation to individual abilities of online retailers. / Estudos sugerem que a confianÃa online à fomentada pela percepÃÃo de antecedentes, como a habilidade do varejista online, demonstraÃÃes de benevolÃncia, a seguranÃa que o website demonstra ter, a presenÃa de selos de ÃrgÃos reguladores externos e a competÃncia tÃcnica do sistema de vendas. Estes antecedentes podem ser percebidos de maneira diferenciada entre consumidores de diferentes paÃses, influenciados pela cultura de cada paÃs. PropÃe-se que as dimensÃes culturais, em especial individualismo versus coletivismo e aversÃo à incerteza influenciam o desenvolvimento das relaÃÃes de confianÃa entre consumidores e varejistas online. Pautado no referencial teÃrico de Hofstede (2001) e outros autores (JARVENPAA; TRACKTINSKY, 1999; LEE; TURBAN, 2001; CHOI; GEISTFELD, 2004; AN; KIM, 2008), a pesquisa foi realizada em Fortaleza (Brasil) e em Montreal (CanadÃ), entre 2011.2 e 2012.1. Utilizou-se questionÃrios fechados com construtos provenientes dos estudos supracitados. Realizou-se anÃlise descritiva dos dados, bem como a montagem de um modelo de regressÃo linear mÃltiplo com a confianÃa online como variÃvel dependente. Os resultados apontaram rejeiÃÃo das pressuposiÃÃes sobre a apreciaÃÃo do pÃblico brasileiro por caracterÃsticas de benevolÃncia dos vendedores online em comparaÃÃo com o pÃblico canadense, assim como rejeiÃÃes da pressuposiÃÃo de apreciaÃÃo dos canadenses sobre os brasileiros relativos à percepÃÃo da competÃncia tÃcnica dos sistemas de vendas e das garantias aferidas por terceiros em lojas online. Os resultados sugeriram, ainda, a afirmaÃÃo dos pressupostos feitos acerca da predileÃÃo dos canadenses sobre os brasileiros em relaÃÃo à percepÃÃo das habilidades do varejista online, assim como a afirmaÃÃo dos pressupostos de que brasileiros atribuem maior importÃncia à indicativos de seguranÃa dos sistemas online, em comparaÃÃo com o pÃblico canadense. O estudo propÃe que a cultura afeta a percepÃÃo de consumidores coletivistas e aversos a incertezas acerca da seguranÃa do sistema de vendas, enquanto age sobre a percepÃÃo de consumidores individualistas e com baixa aversÃo à incerteza em relaÃÃo Ãs habilidades individuais de varejistas online.
