Why Some Internet Users Don’t Buy Air Tickets Online

TLDR
In this article, the authors identify the determinant variables that make some Internet users not to buy airline tickets online, using TAM and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), with the addition of the influence of perceived risk and trust.
Abstract
This work attempts to identify the determinant variables that make some Internet users not to buy airline tickets online. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) have been used as the conceptual reference framework, with the addition of the influence of perceived risk and trust. The results of the empirical study of Internet users who never have purchased an airline ticket online suggest that both subjective norm and attitude have a direct influence on airline ticket purchase intention. Ease of use has also proved to be a significant variable, because it has an indirect influence on behaviour through perceived usefulness, trust and risk. Risk, trust and perceived behavioural control were found to influence purchase intention through attitude. The results also show that risk is a multidimensional variable and that the dimensions do not all exercise the same influence on airline ticket purchase intention. Managerial implications are provided.

The theory of planned behavior

TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.
