Abstract
Agricultural products live-streaming commerce (APLC), a new form of e-commerce with unique features sinking to villages and towns, has significantly promoted the sales of agricultural products in China during COVID-19. However, limited research has explored how the unique and common live-streaming commerce features affect customer behavior in APLC. Drawing on stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model, this study develops a research framework to examine how the stimuli (practicality, interactivity, preferential, and commonweal) affect consumers’ purchase intention through the mediation of organism factors (perceived trust and perceived value) in ALPC context. 216 valid samples were collected via an online survey. SmartPLS3.0 was used to verify the research model and hypotheses. Findings indicate: perceived trust and perceived value positively affect purchase intention; practicality, interactivity, preferential, and commonweal are positively associated with perceived value; practicality and commonweal positively influence perceived trust; interactivity has no significant effect on perceived trust. Potential theoretical and practical contributions are discussed.
