The Impact of Mobile App Attributes of M-Commerce Platforms on the Buying Behavior of Generation Z Customers
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study explores how mobile app attributes influence Generation Z's m-commerce purchasing decisions through the Stimuli-Organism-Response (SOR) framework. Using PLS-SEM to analyze 319 Filipino Gen Z consumers on platforms like Shopee, TikTok Shop, and Lazada, the research validates the mediating role of AI Chatbots. Findings indicate that app attributes significantly drive purchase behavior, which in turn boosts AI Chatbot engagement and Continuous App Usage—the strongest predictor of actual purchases. These results highlight the critical need for user-friendly interfaces and integrated AI support to sustain engagement. Future research should examine specific AI design elements and broader demographic variables to further optimize the m-commerce experience.
