The researchers adopted the Theory Planned behavior (TPB) in this study, followed by the independent variables (financial risk, product risk, security risk, time risk, social risk, and psychological risk), and dependent variable (intention of consumers to do online purchase) respectively, to achieve the study’s objectives.
