Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The literature for assessing online and offline shopping behaviours that are linked to intelligent robotic
goods and services is inadequate. In this study, we applied the Theory of Planned Behaviour model for guidance
regarding how consumer behaviour affects their purchase intentions for intelligent robotic goods and services.
METHODS: Data from 408 respondents were gathered through an online questionnaire binned into Online and Over‑
all Shoppers, and analysed using SPSS, AMOS, and Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modelling software to evaluate the appropriateness of the measurements and to confirm data reliability, convergence, divergence, and validity.
These tools were also used to track and test hypothesized relationships between the variables and model constructs
used in this study.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The overarching outcomes from the data analyses indicated the Ease of Usage, Brand
Perception, and Product Pricing variables causally impacted the TPB model constructs, namely Attitude, Subjective
Norms, and Perceived Behaviour Control for the two populations tested with respect to their intention to purchase
intelligent robotic goods and services. The reliability measurements for Ease of Usage, Brand Perception, and Product
Pricing are discussed. The results are important for companies and future investors because opportunities to study
the complex relationships that ultimately drive consumer behaviour and their intention to purchase intelligent
robotic goods and services are provided.
