The Impact of National Culture Dimensions on the Adoption of Cross Border E Commerce: A Comparative Study
This study integrated the cultural dimensions such as power distance, collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity, and long term orientation into the UTAUT to examine the comparative impact of cultural dimensions on the adoption of cross border e commerce between the Chinese and Russian citizens. The data analysis was conducted with SPSS and Smart PLS 3.0. The results indicate that power distance, collectivism, and long term orientation respectively were significant predictors of performance expectancy and effort expectancy of cross border e commerce for both Chinese and Russian citizens. Uncertainty avoidance and masculinity were also found to determine the performance expectancy of cross border e commerce. However, while uncertainty avoidance and masculinity were significant determinants of the effort expectancy of cross border e commerce in the context of the Russia sample, it was not so for the Chinese sample. In addition, performance expectancy and social influence were positive predictors of the intention to use cross border e commerce for both Chinese and Russia samples.
