Abstract

Driven by information technology advances and COVID-19, the fresh food e-commerce industry has seen tremendous growth. However, the fresh e-commerce platform has a tiny market share, owing to quality assurance, food safety trust, and other factors. Built by blockchain, the fresh food traceability system is considered an effective means to crack the development dilemma. This paper constructs a theoretical research model of traceable fresh food consumer behavior based on the Technology Acceptance Model theory and investigates consumers’ traceability cognition (CTC), perceived usefulness (PU), social influence (SI), perceived ease of use (PEOU), attitudinal disposition (AD), and purchase intention (PI) by conducting a structural analysis of 230 questionnaires. The results indicate that, firstly, a higher level of CTC leads to a positive impact on PEOU but not PU. Secondly, SI positively affects PEOU and has the same effect on CTC and PU. Thirdly, PEOU and PU will promote PI by positively affecting AD. In the end, the author based on the findings makes recommendations to promote the growth of fresh e-commerce by blockchain technology.
