摘要

本文旨在确定在健康危机时期,像刚果民主共和国(DRC)这样的发展中国家的妇女贸易商采用电子商务的意图的解释因素。设计/方法/方法本研究在刚果民主共和国布卡武镇进行。本研究选取了布卡武镇282名女性企业家(进口贸易商)作为方便样本,采用结构方程模型对Ajzen计划行为理论的研究假设进行检验。研究结果表明,只有对电子商务采用的态度和主观规范因素能预测女性贸易商采用电子商务的意愿。分析表明,因变量的变异约有38.9%是由上述变量解释的。独创性/价值尽管有大量关于采用技术和电子商务的评论文献,但很少有研究将技术和电子商务的采用作为危机时期女性企业家的弹性。这项研究提供了一种新的方法,帮助女性企业家和研究人员了解刚果民主共和国电子商务采用因素的驱动因素。

Adoption of electronic commerce as a resilience strategy for women's entrepreneurship in the Democratic Republic of Congo
PurposeThe present article aims to determine the factors that explain the intention to adopt electronic commerce among women traders in a developing country like Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) during a health crisis period.Design/methodology/approachThis study was conducted in the DRC, in Bukavu Town. A convenience sample of 282 respondents consisting of solely women entrepreneurs (importing traders) in Bukavu Town was selected and the structural equation model was used to test the research hypotheses resulted from Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour.FindingsThe finding results showed that only the factors attitude towards electronic commerce adoption and subjective norms which predict women traders' intention to adopt electronic commerce. The analysis shows that about 38.9% of the variation in the dependent variable is explained by the above variables.Originality/valueFew studies have presented technology and electronic commerce adoption as resilience of women entrepreneurs in a time of crisis, despite the abundance of the review literature on adoption. This study provides a new approach to assist women entrepreneurs as well as researchers in understanding the drivers of electronic commerce adoption factors in the DRC.
