This study applied the theory of reasoned action (TRA) to investigate consumer attitude and behavioral intention toward Shanzhai mobile phones. The influence of consumer attitude and subjective norm on behavioral intention and the influence of consumer perception of performance risk and channel type (online or brick-andmortar) on consumer attitude toward Shanzhai mobile phones were explored. Both online and pencil-and-paper questionnaires were utilized to survey consumer and structural equation modeling was adopted to explore the causal relationship among the constructs. The results indicated that consumer attitude toward Shanzhai mobile phones deceases if his/her performance-risk perception increases. The results also revealed an indirect effect of subjective norm on behavioral intention through attitude, suggesting that any evaluations of consumer attitude needs to consider both direct effect and indirect influence on behavioral intention, otherwise an incomplete assessment may result. The study makes a significant contribution to the literature by verify the TRA's successful application to the Shanzhai mobile phone industry. |
