Abstract: This paper aims to empirically examine Saudi consumers' attitudes towards online shopping. The papers test a framework that was developed to understand, evaluate and examine the different factors affecting consumer attitudes towards online shopping in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a non-probability sample of 1000 Saudi consumers'. The paper investigated several independent variables which were used in previous research studies and its relation with the dependent variable (online shopping attitude among Saudi consumers). The findings indicated that ease of use and reliability were positively related to attitude of consumer towards online shopping. The findings also illustrated a positive relationship between the research remaining independent variables (privacy and security, customer service, trust, product information, satisfaction) and online shopping attitude in KSA. The paper also provides a discussion of its limitations as well as direction for future research in the field.
