Abstract
Purpose: This study investigates the influence of perceived online risk on m-shopping behaviour in an immature market, and how consumer trust could moderate that relationship. Design/methodology/approach: University students in Ghana represents the sample for the study. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to check for validity and reliability of the measurement items. After which a hierarchical regression model was performed. Findings: Findings revealed that, perceived financial and product risks had negative effects on m-shopping behaviour. Trust also had positive effect on m-shopping behaviour. Consumer trust however significantly reduced the negative effects of perceived financial and product risks on m-shopping behaviour. Practical/social implications: Effective addressing system is a prerequisite for m-shopping survival, and the government must intensify efforts in making citizens register for the digital address. A mandatory digital address would be useful for assessing facilities like banking, application for employment, admission to educational institutions, and company registration
