While information communication technology is changing the paradigms of e-commerce, many e-commerce firms and companies choose to invest in mobile technologies to provide mobile commerce services to consumers. As consumer lifestyles provide rich user profiles and daily life behaviors to understand consumer behavior, we extended the e-Lifestyle scale with information privacy concerns based on the context of mobile commerce services. We adopted the survey method and two-step approach of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to construct and validate an e-lifestyle scale in mobile commerce. The empirical results reveal that the 29 mobile commerce lifestyle scale items are grouped into six distinct components: Activities, Transactions, Interests, Opinions, Values, and Information Privacy Concerns. The scale is consistent with the current state of development of mobile commerce services and provides researchers and practitioners with research tools to assess and describe consumer characteristics. Finally, the research points out the conclusions and future research directions of the e-lifestyle scale in mobile commerce. |
