Explaining consumers online food purchase intention through Technology Adaptation Model (TAM): A case of Antalya province in Türkiye

Öz

Purpose: This study aims to examine whether the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) can effectively explain consumers’ online food purchasing behavior in Türkiye, with a focus on grocery shopping.

Design/methodology/approach: The research is based on cross-sectional survey data collected from 305 respondents aged 18 and above, residing in three central districts of Antalya province that represent 50% of the provincial population. The questionnaire included demographic, socioeconomic, and household characteristics, internet access and online shopping behavior, along with TAM scale items. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to test the conceptual framework.

Findings: About 46% of respondent is currently using online grocery shopping in research area. The empirical model results indicate that enjoyment and positive attitudes are the main drivers of consumers’ online grocery shopping behavior.

Research limitations/implications: The study is limited to one province in Türkiye, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. Further research, in addition to TAM, by employing different behavioral models/theory with regionally or countrywide representative data is recommended. 

Practical implications: Online grocery platforms should be designed as enjoyable and engaging experiences to increase consumer adoption and loyalty.

Originality/value:  This research contributes to the limited literature on online food shopping in Türkiye by applying TAM, providing valuable insights for both academics and practitioners.
