However, if social commerce is to continue to grow and deliver the many benefits it promises, it must address a number of key challenges, including privacy, trust, and ethical concerns. This paper explores the extent to which privacy issues affect the attitudes and behaviours of social media platform (SMP) users towards social commerce, and investigates whether these attitudes and behaviours are a function of cultural context. The approach adopted for the research is a two-stage method, which initially uses semi-structured interviews of social-commerce users to identify their key privacy concerns. These concerns are then used to develop, using the theory of reasoned action (TRA), a structural model that facilitates the formation of hypotheses which relate users\u2019 attitudes to privacy to subsequent behaviour. This model is assessed by analysing the responses to a questionnaire from a large sample of participants. This allows us to evaluate the general accuracy of the model and to compare culturally distinct subgroups (Saudi vs. Chinese) using partial least-squares analysis. Results show good support for all of our hypotheses and indicate that there are clear cultural effects. One of these effects is the inadequacy of privacy policies implemented by SMP providers, regarding culturally specific ethical concerns.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jtaer18010037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,22]],"date-time":"2023-03-22T07:46:43Z","timestamp":1679471203000},"page":"725-743","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["The Growth of Social Commerce: How It Is Affected by Users\u2019 Privacy Concerns"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6819-5244","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Mutambik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Science, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh P.O.
