Abstract [sv]

Denna empiriska studie undersöker om det går att finna ett samband mellan förtroende och uppfattad transparens i e-handelsklimat. För att mäta förtroende tar studien hänsyn till Harrison McKnights förtroendekonstruktion för e-handel (Trusting beliefs) tillgänglig i hans studie (McKnight, Choudhury & Kacmar, 2002) För att mäta transparens har en transparenskonstruktion utformats (Perceived transparency). Begreppet transparens i studien har sitt ursprung i egen tolkning med tillhörande modell och konstruktion. I nuläget (Augusti,13) finns det få studier som behandlar transparens i e-handel. Beslutet att basera inriktningen på egna slutsatser har därför kännts nödvändigt. Studien anammar ett användarperspektiv då utgångspunkten i studien är att mäta hur en besökare uppfattar en e-butiks statiska presentation med fokus på transparens (lättillgänglighet, öppenhet, företagsidentitet och relevanta referenser). Metoden som tillämpas är kvantitativ och empirisk. Resultatet ger en indikation på att det kvantitativt går att mäta uppfattad transparens samt att det finns en korrelation mellan McKnights förtroendekonstruktion (Trusting beliefs) och studiens transparenskonstruktion (Perceiv- ed transparency)

Abstract [en]

This empirical study investigates whether it is possible to discern a relationship between trust and perceived transparency in the E-commerce environment. In order to measure trust, the study implements Harrison McKnight's trust-construct (Trusting beliefs) found in his research (McKnight, Choudhury & Kacmar, 2002). To measure perceived transparency, a transparency-construct has been formed. The concept of transparency in the shape it is mentioned in the study is originated in an own interpretation with associated model and construct. Today (August 2013) few studies within transparency has been published and yet none particularly in the e-commerce environment. The decision to base the study on own conclusions therefore felt necessary and also justified. The study adopts a user-perspective though the idea is to examine if it is possible to quantitatively measure how a visitor perceives an e-commerce site's static presentation with focus on transparency (accessibility, openness, company image and relevant references) The method used to answer the two hypotheses is quantitative and empirical. The result gives an indication that it is possible to measure the perceived transparency, and also shows that there exists a correlation between McKnight's trust-construct (Trusting beliefs) and the study's formed transparency-construct (Perceived trans- parency)
