Abstract

This research article aimed to: 1) examine the online purchasing behavior of Generation Y consumers in Thailand, and 2) examine the influence of live streaming technology acceptance affecting online purchasing decisions among Generation Y consumers in Thailand. A quantitative research design was employed, with a sample of 385 Generation Y consumers selected through convenience sampling. The research instrument used was a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis.           The findings revealed as follows: 1) the majority of the respondents frequently purchased fashion and apparel products via online and TikTok was the most popular live-streaming platform for shopping. Most live-stream viewing occurred between 6:01 PM and 9:00 PM, with an average viewing duration of 15–30 minutes. 2) Live streaming technology acceptance, specifically in terms of performance expectancy (LPE), social influence (LSI), and facilitating conditions (LFC), had a positive and statistically significant impact on online purchasing decisions (ONPD) at 0.05 level of significance. The results highlighted the critical role of live streaming technology acceptance in shaping online purchasing behavior among Generation Y consumers. These findings offered valuable insights for businesses to refine their digital marketing strategies and leverage live streaming technology to enhance consumer engagement and drive sales.
