Abstract
This study aims to thoroughly investigate the key factors influencing Chinese consumers' e-commerce behavior, exploring the impact of elements such as convenience, product type, price, after-sale service quality, website attractiveness, and security concerns on consumers' online shopping decisions through a quantitative analytical framework. The research employs SPSS software for exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results indicate that convenience, product type, price, and after-sale service significantly drive consumer online shopping behavior, while security concerns remain a major barrier to online shopping. Surprisingly, the influence of website attractiveness on consumer purchasing decisions is minimal, challenging conventional assumptions in e-commerce research. These findings provide valuable guidance for e-commerce practitioners to optimize consumer experiences, address key barriers, and promote sustainable growth in China's dynamic online marketplace, while also offering a theoretical basis for policymakers to support the development of e-commerce.
