Abstract

E-commerce is gradually upgrading from traditional text and image formats to short video and livestreaming formats. Livestreaming e-commerce enriches the content and forms of information dissemination and product display, enhances the consumer's shopping experience, and gradually becomes the mainstream new consumer scene. However, there are many negative phenomena in the development of livestreaming e-commerce, such as false propaganda, counterfeit goods, and various negative events, which seriously affect the level of consumer trust in livestreaming e-commerce. Trust is the core competitive factor of livestreaming e-commerce. Based on previous research on trust theory and combined with the characteristic elements of "people, goods, and scenes" of livestreaming e-commerce, this article constructs a trust model for livestreaming e-commerce, proposes hypotheses, and proves through empirical research that factors such as store characteristics, livestream host characteristics, brand image, product information, platform reputation, livestreaming situation, and trust tendency have a significant positive impact on consumer trust. Based on the research conclusions, this article provides insights and management suggestions, such as emphasizing the construction of store characteristic indicators, creating desirable livestream host characteristics, focusing on product brand building and selection, maintaining the display of product information, selecting suitable livestreaming platforms, and creating rich content for livestreaming situations.

전자상거래는 전통적인 그래픽 및 텍스트 형식에서 짧은 동영상 및 라이브스트리밍 형식으로 업그레이드되고 있다. 라이브 전자상거래는 정보전달 및 상품전시의 내용과 형식을 풍부하게 하고 소비자의 쇼핑경험을 향상시키며 점차 새로운 소비패턴이 되고 있다. 그러나 생방송 전자상거래의 발전에는 허위선전, 위조상품, 각종 부정적인 사건 등으로 라이브스트리밍 전자상거래에 대한 소비자의 신뢰도에 심각한 영향을 미치고 있다. 신뢰는 라이브스트리밍 전자상거래의 핵심 경쟁요소이다. 본 논문에서는 신뢰이론에 대한 선행연구를 기반으로 라이브커머스의 "사람, 상품, 장면" 특성 요소를 결합하여 라이브커머스의 신뢰도 모형을 구축하고 가설을 세웠다. 설문조사를 통한 데이터 수집, 라이브커머스의 특성, 쇼호스트 특성, 브랜드 이미지, 제품 정보, 플랫폼 평판, 라이브 상황 및 신뢰성 경향 등의 요인이 소비자 신뢰도에 높은 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 증명하였다. 연구결과로 매장특성지표를 구축하고, 바람직한 쇼호스트의 특성을 창출하며, 제품브랜드를 구축하고 선택하고, 제품정보를 유지하며, 특성에 적합한 라이브 플랫폼을 선택하고, 라이브 상황에 적절한 컨텐츠를 창출하는 등을 제언하였다.
