Abstract

This study examines the effect of consumers’ perceived risk on online purchasing intention at JUBIWADA Zanzibar. Specifically, the study examines the effect of consumers’ financial risk, time risk and social risk online purchasing intention. The researcher has mainly employed quantitative research approach with appropriate method of analysis for this study. The sample size for this study consists of 321 respondents using simple random sampling technique and survey questionnaire was used as data collection instrument. To achieve a reliable result a Standard Multiple regression was used to analyses the collected data from relevant respondents. The study has revealed that three predictors (social risk, time risk and financial risk) had a significant effect or impact on the outcome variable (online purchase intention). Essentially, the effects of these risks to online purchase intention were in a negative direction. This situation indicates that the increase of scores in these predictor variables results in degrease of scores in the outcome variable. The study concluded that customers who show or have high level of perceived risk (social risk, time risk and financial risk) tend to reduce their intention to purchase online products. Finally, the study recommended that the management of JUBIWADA may encourage online purchasing by solving the problem social risk, time risk and financial risk in the business environment.
