作者:

Highlights:

• We delimit a full structure for the utilitarian motivations in online consumption.

• Measurement scales are proposed for every utilitarian motivation.

• Qualitative analyses are applied to purify a full structure of motivations.

• Confirmatory analyses are applied to validate motivational structure and scales.

• We conclude a nine-dimension utilitarian motivational structure for online consumption.
