The questionnaire is divided into two sections: the first collects demographic data (gender, age, marital status, employment status, income, and online shopping frequency), and the second employs a Likert scale to assess the influence of various factors on online purchasing intentions. The chapter specifies the study's geographical location (San Fernando, Cebu), the sampling strategy, and the process of data collection and analysis. It also explains the criteria for evaluating responses to the Likert scale questions and identifies the factors considered, such as technology factors, operational factors, consumer factors, product/service factors, pricing factors, and customer satisfaction. The chapter concludes with a description of the sample demographics from the completed surveys.
III. RESULTS: This chapter presents the findings of the study, summarizing the results of the survey. It uses a table to show how respondents rated different factors influencing their online purchase decisions. Each factor (Technology, Operational, Consumer, Products/Services, Pricing, and Customer Satisfaction) is presented with several sub-questions related to that factor and the weighted mean score of the responses, indicating the level of importance respondents placed on each element in their decision-making process. This section provides a quantitative summary of the data collected to answer the main research questions of the study, laying the groundwork for further analysis and interpretation in subsequent (unincluded) chapters.
