Building online end-user trust and understanding its relationship to online consumer behavior are important topics for electronic commerce system designers and information systems researchers. Online shopping has grown steadily in popularity in recent years as online and hybrid retailers offer an attractive Internet-based service to customers, such as Internet-only deals and shipping discounts.

Even though there have been many research endeavors to explain online end-user trust and consumer behavior, one of the main questions is how to understand the nature, antecedents and consequences of online end-user trust and consumer behavior. Various antecedents and consequences of online end-user trust and consumer behavior, such as social, cultural, and individual characteristics, should be studied further to fully understand online consumer behavior.

This special issue will focus on the online end-user trust and consumer behavior. Specifically, this special issue will cover the various nature, antecedents, and consequences of online end-user trust and consumer behavior and the complex relationships among these constructs.

The specific objectives of this JOEUC special issue are to:

• Enhance the knowledge in understanding the antecedents and consequences of online end-user trust and consumer behavior in the electronic commerce environment.
• Attract high-quality research that focuses on the social, cultural, motivational, ethical, and strategic aspects of online end-user trust and consumer behavior.
• Provide a helpful and important contribution to electronic commerce researchers, community, and practitioners.

To these objectives we solicit papers in the following areas (the list is indicative rather than exclusive):

• Online End-User Trust and Consumer Behavior
• Online End-User Trust and Cultural Issues
• Online End-User Trust and Social Aspects
