ABSTRACT

Online shopping is becoming more and more popular with busy individuals, especially

young people and those who are knowledgeable about how to shop and make purchases

online. . It can boost your mood and give your brain a mental and emotional boost, whether

you are adding items to your shopping cart or just browsing. Stress and pressure related to

academic achievement have an impact on the body and mind. Because they provide time

to themselves and support their mental and physical health to be productive despite

pressure and stress, they want to enjoy their time as students by buying things online.

The primary objective of this research was to study the correlation between online

shopping and the academic performance of college students and what reasons drive them

to buy online. Researchers studied whether online shopping has significant correlation to

academic performance among the NEUST college students in the 4th District of Nueva

Ecija. The appropriate statistical treatment was applied to the collected data to total,

examine, and evaluate it. The design was quantitative research, using Percentage, Weighted

Mean, Frequency Distribution, and Pearson R to determine the Positive and Negative

effects of Online Shopping.

The results revealed that, in terms of the respondents’ profile, the majority of

respondents are female and young adults. The majority of the respondents utilize Shopee

as a platform and commonly purchased school supplies. The respondents frequently made

internet purchases on a daily basis and inch transaction, it consists of two products. In terms

of respondents' academic profile measurement, the majority of respondents' GWA in the

second semester of AY 2021-2022 is 2.00-3.00. When it comes to the positive effects,

respondents agreed that they typically perform well if they buy the things that they need
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students vii

and when it comes to the negative effects, respondents agreed that even after making

multiple online purchases, their grades remain the same.

It is recommended to students should avoid being reliant on online purchasing

activities thinking that it may help them perform better at school. The students should also

monitor their spending pattern on online platforms and make their purchases be reasonable

since this study concluded that online shopping produces impact on the academic

performance of the students.

Chapter 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

The internet is now recognized by the virtual market as a potential source of

corporate expansion. According to Todd et al., (1997), employing the virtual or platform

extends their market to all nations. In the earliest 2000s, internet and Online shopping could

be used to purchase products. One important source of information and pleasure is the

internet. Additionally, it might inspire customers who want to avoid time-consuming

activities. An emphasis is placed on the consumer who cannot go outdoors or visit a

physical store when a product is sold online. Online sales encourage people to sell their

goods even when unsure about the buyer's identity (Koivumaki, 2001).

Online purchasing was invented in 1979 by English businessman Michael Aldrich.

The residential TV connects into a telephone line. Online shopping is a popular trend in

this generation due to the numerous opportunities and changes. Development and

implementation are created. Both customers and sellers play a big part in internet buying.

The generation of today is one in which all opportunities are present. Online shopping

instills confidence in the consumer (Eunyu & Nis, 2014).

The Pandemic has altered the lives of many people, affecting them all. The

quarantine was approved to reduce the number of people affected by this sickness and to

prevent the spread or escalation of COVID-19 cases. As a result, online shopping has

become a popular method of purchasing.


Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 2

Shopping had been associated with happiness and, in fact, the so-called "retail

therapy." As we progressed through this research, the proponents discussed the correlation

between the derived satisfaction from online shopping and students’ academic punctuality.

A student's academic performance is critical in determining the next level of their

education, which determines their career. Too much academic pressure might have long-

lasting and detrimental impacts during this time. The variety of clothing, shoes,

accessories, and other items is delightful to scroll through. They get the jitters when they

shop for less hassle. Online shopping can boost the mood and give the brain a mental and

emotional boost, whether adding items to the shopping cart or just browsing. Stress and

pressure related to academic achievement impact the body and mind. Because they provide

time to themselves and support their mental and physical health to be productive despite

pressure and stress, they want to enjoy their time as students by buying things online

(Niemi & Vainiomaki, 1999).

Online shopping is becoming increasingly popular with busy individuals, especially

young people and those who know how to shop and make purchases online. The

researchers assumed that students at NEUST's southern campuses attended college. In

order to determine whether this assumption is accurate, particularly with the NEUST

southern campuses, the researchers were motivated to carry out this study. This was done

specifically to find out if there is any significant correlation between online shopping and

the academic performance of college students.

Based on Andaya et al., (2021), “The Correlation between Online Shopping as

Motivating Factor and Academic Diligence among the Accountancy Students of Far

Eastern University-Manila”, analyses that although the respondents agreed that online
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 3

shopping relieves stress and makes them want to achieve higher grades, more than half of

the students still feel demotivated even after receiving their rewards and agreed that online

shopping does not influence their eagerness to learn. Overall, it is concluded that there is

no significant relationship between online shopping and the academic diligence of

accountancy students. This research's general objective was to evaluate and study the

correlation between online shopping to academic performance and what drives them to buy

online—analyzing concerns of the students and society. It has been conducted because this

task initiated the researchers that this is something to be studied about.

Academic Achievement of Students' Motivation and Online Shopping

Consumer motivations for online retail shopping were studied a few years ago

(Childers et al., 2001) characterizes them as "interest in using a new technology, simplicity

of navigation and use, and convenience of online shopping." The aforementioned research

examined customer motives, but because it concentrated on a small number of potential

online purchasing activity determinants, it represented just a small portion of what could

be learnt from consumer behaviour. Although this point is listed as a motivator in the

authors' research, the primary focus of the study was on potential trust concerns with

internet shopping. Comparing this particular consumer motivator to other consumer

motivators still needs to be done.

It is quite beneficial to have an online presence to distinguish the physical store.

Online commerce is superior to traditional retail. Online sales equate to financial benefits.

By offering online business to website visitors, it can accelerate the company's growth

(Brigita Go, 2012). It and tactics are employed to improve the online business. Exploring
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 4

internet business support tools (Anderson, 2012). Philippines' online sales generated

US$1,237 million in revenue for the country's e-commerce in that year. Expecting to appear

after 2022, one website may provide more cutting-edge goods to introduce to online

shoppers. Particularly among students, various technology, including smartphones,

desktop, computers, and laptops, is well known and widely used. Students most frequently

buy casual clothes and bags from small online retailers. Online shopping may appeal more

to students than a physical store. Students who need to manage their time to choose and

select the button can do so by saving time due to their busy schedules. More products are

being sent out and introduced (Macarayo, 2017). Because individuals prefer to buy things

online rather than at a physical store, internet shopping is increasing in the Philippines.

Especially on holidays like Christmas, New Year, or even on a regular day. While seasonal,

consumers prefer to shop online to reduce time spent traveling to actual stores

(Manglinong, 2018).

The southeast Asian nation of the Philippines is regarded as a leader in internet

retail. Online shopping centers are emerging and expanding across the nation. Lazada is

the most popular online retailer in the Philippines, and every Filipino is familiar with it.

This website involves students as well. The investors of this website include Tesco PLC,

Access Industries Investment ABKinnevik and Verlinvest. A group of investors

contributed $ 250 million to the venture. Technology has given rise to online purchasing

(Tesco, 2014).

Positive Effects of Online Shopping

According to Bramall et al. (2004), "the 24-hour passage afforded or approved by

most online purchasing platforms is motivation by consumers. As a result, consumers use


Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 5

the internet channel since it gives them access to information, customer service, and

shopping opportunities around the clock." Online purchasing benefit consumers in general

and students in particular. Many programs, like Lazada, Shopee, Barter, and other online

shops, are available around-the-clock. Every consumer gets a great opportunity to shop

online whenever they want to. They can purchase items online when they have time to

choose and press the button. It is influenced by customer likers. Customers choose to wait

in a long line instead of purchasing in a physical store. Online merchants and sellers can

cut their prices in this manner to win over customers. Automatically created and

experienced faster and more convenient. Less time is spent on tasks. Physical stores require

customers to spend a lot of time there. The outcomes of online shopping are favorable

(Svonavec, 2017). Positive benefits are produced by balancing the working hours of the

jobs and the online business. Employees should balance their time and effort due to the

busy work environment to run the internet business fairly (Cheng, 1995). Students can

achieve this by gaining information, abilities, and experience in various jobs (Green, 2001).

Negative Effects of Online Shopping

This is a problem since some customers use the internet to perform their "window

shopping" before going to physical stores to try things on and make purchases (Dodes,

2006). There are some organizational consequences to this development. In the case of

Kohl's, one issue with the expanded product selection was that Kohl's needed to provide

more online in their physical retail locations. According to the study, more than 80% of

internet shoppers conduct online product research before occasionally visiting stores to

inspect the goods physically. It would be good for online businesses to clarify which

products are and are not accessible in stores, given that not all products are sold in stores.
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 6

When it comes to quality, online buying might be risky. Not physically inspecting

things is one of the drawbacks of internet shopping. Without consumer safety monitoring,

there will be ignorance (Lee & Turban, 2001). Online shopping may cause customers to

develop unfavorable opinions. Someone who wants to make an online purchase is

misbehaving (Doolin, 2005; Liu & Wei, 2003; Van der Heidjen et al., 2003). Some buyers

may browse for a product but are unwilling to purchase it. They each made their own

choice. Online commerce and advertising may not appeal to frequent internet users (Corbitt

et al., 2003; Jarvenpaa et al., 1999).

The low participation of products like confectionery and ice cream is thought to be

a drawback of internet shopping. They lack a loyal customer base to purchase their low-

involvement goods. Some customers aren't always interested in these goods (Pires et al.,

2004). Price is regarded as being negative. Consumer preferences influence pricing and

quality. Consumers cannot return goods if they decide not to use them after delivery

(Bhatnagar et al., 2000; Jarvenpaa & Todd, 1997; Tan, 1999; Vijayasarathy and Jones,

2000).

Frequency of Online Purchases

When researching the rising Internet usage, Rodgers and Sheldon (2002), stated

that "highlighted shopping as one of the primary drivers for growing consumer use." The

authors of this study examined the role that shopping plays in encouraging consumers to

utilize products more frequently. It should be pressed that there has been remarkable

growth in Internet access and usage, and this has created a significant market in marketing

and communications of organizations (Ko et al., 2005; Tamimi et al., 2005; Dadzie et al.,
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 7

2005). Organizations have been focusing more on creating the internet channel to increase

their share of the consumer's wallet as online purchasing has increased.

In comparison to last year's period, 37% of Filipino respondents said their online

shopping frequency had stayed the same during the last three months. Comparatively, 26%

of respondents said they made fewer purchases during this time (Rakuten, 2022). Three

hundred eight customers of the top four Indian e-retailers who had made at least one online

purchase in the previous six months participated in the web poll (Kalia, 2019). More than

7 out of 10 internet users from the 12 months before the poll (hereafter referred to as

"internet users") are thought to have made online purchases during that time. Overall, more

people are shopping online, with the youngest age group of 16 to 24 having the highest

percentage (80%), followed closely by the oldest age group of 25 to 54 (79%).

Volume of Online Purchases

The volume of UK Internet users who shop online (including booking tickets or

purchasing products and services) went from 36% in 2000 to 61% in 2005, indicating that

the number of online shoppers has greatly enlarged in the UK (Datamonitor, 2006). "Online

purchasing can refer to any providing of service quality, product quality, or e-Business

quality where the purpose is the customer-based value generation for organizations" (Hult

et al., 2007). Developing your own website and applications is the best strategy to persuade

customers. Technology and the current age offer the finest chance to use media for

advertising goods and services. It depends on how internet shopping websites are valued.

The enjoyment offered by online websites is quick and reveals consumer behavior.
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 8

Websites catering to customer needs and wants must consider internal and exterior

shopping values. The research was undertaken to examine the internal and external

components of the firm in detail (Vijay et al., 2017). A website is the best resource for

creating and marketing your stuff to buyers. Adding value to the products encourages

customers to make online purchases. Technology has a significant power to connect

consumers and increase their satisfaction with online buying. Online shoppers may be

attracted by the website's and the internet's popularity. It's crucial to see the products on

the next page to determine whether they're decent. The expansion and acceptance are

increasing (Aldin, Brehmer, and Johanson, 2014).

Conceptual Framework

The growth of Online Shopping in the world of technology is ascending rapidly has

found a strong impact on global business. The internet created a new environment of e-

commerce and has provided opportunities to connect driving through internet worldwide

(Alkailani & Kumar, 2011). The study was based on a similar study entitled ”The

Correlation between Online Shopping as a Motivating Factor and Academic Diligence

among Accountancy Students of Far Eastern University - Manila” written by Andaya et

al., (2021). This paper analyzes the level of Online Shopping as Motivating Factor to

distinguish the academic diligence among Accountancy Students of Far Eastern University

- Manila. This paper analyzes that although the respondents agreed that online shopping

relieves stress and makes them want to achieve higher grades, more than half of the students

still feel demotivated even after receiving their rewards and agreed that online shopping

does not influence their eagerness to learn. The researchers also found out that the results
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 9

indicate stagnant grades even after shopping online. Overall, it is concluded that there is

no significant relationship between online shopping and the academic diligence of

accountancy students.

In this study, the researchers used the input, process, and output. As shown in

figure.

The Input phase is about the profile of the respondents, students’ online shopping

behaviour, students’ academic performance and motivation of online purchases. To

produce outcome, these inputs was needed as variables.

The Process phase composes the use of a questionnaire and statistical treatment of

data to produce the desired outcome.

At last, for the Output phase, propose the correlation between online shopping and

academic performance of college students; A quantitative assessment.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presented the research approach, method, and technique that was used

in this study the research method, research locale, instrument, development, administration

of the instrument, reliability, and validity, and statistical treatment of data that be utilized

in conducting the study.

Research Method

In order to see whether online shopping has a significant correlation to academic

performance among the NEUST college students in 4th District of Nueva Ecija,

quantitative descriptive research design was adopted.

In this research, descriptive research design was used because according to Cooper

and Schindler (2003), this type of research designs involves surveying people and getting

their responses for analysis. The design's adaptability justifies its capacity to gather the

required data from the selected participants. The relevant data was gathered through

questionnaires, which ensured that all information would be kept private. The researchers

were able to carefully describe and comprehend the correlation to the administered

questionnaires, which also helped them gather key information. The appropriate statistical

treatment was applied to the collected data to total, examine, and evaluate it.
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 17

Research Locale

The study was carried out in Nueva Ecija Southern district, the Philippines, where

there were identified respondents. Participants in this study were came from a variety of

southern district municipalities and the barangays in Southern District of Nueva Ecija.

One of the congressional districts in Nueva Ecija is District 4 (4th district of

Nueva Ecija), which was held by the House of Representatives’ Mr. Emerson D. Pascual.

The areas that have NEUST campuses include the San Antonio, Peñaranda, General

Tiñio Papaya, and San Leonardo in Nueva Ecija’s southern region.

Word Disk 2022, stated that 534,988 people live in District 4, which has a land

area of 1,351.76 square kilometers (521.92 square miles).

Sample and Sampling Procedure

The researchers collected data using a purposive sampling method. Purposive

sampling, sometimes referred as the term “judgmental sampling” refers to a type of non-

probability sampling in which when choosing people from the population to take part in

their research, researchers rely on their judgment surveys (Alchemer, 2021). The criteria

utilized for selecting the respondents must be a college students and using online platform

for shopping.

The application used was Raosoft application with a 95% confidence level and 5%

error rate.

Utilizing the generated sample of 329 NEUST college students produced sample

from the total population of 2275 students who completed their questionnaire was

calculated by multiplying the number of students enrolled every academic year by the

number of students available. For a number of courses and the NUEST college portals. By

employing this technique, the entire population can be chosen. As a component of the

study’s sample size.

Sampling Technique

The total sample size of the respondents of the study has a frequency of 329 of the

total population of 2275. This study uses the Raosoft application to determine the sample

size with a 95% confidence level and 5% error of margin.

Research Instrument

This study was conducted through an online survey form, with a database that

collects and stores data, it also provides statistical software analysis of the findings. Survey

research is the most fundamental tool for all quantitative outcome research methodologies

and studies.

Survey questionnaires are a set of questions to accomplish the objectives of the

study, participants encourage to complete them over the internet via a Google form. The

online survey questionnaire conducted in the Google form consisted of five parts.

Part I includes the demographic profile of respondents of the consumers. It was

constructed by the researchers in a check list form.

Part II includes the consumer's internet shopping profile the researchers in a check

list form created it.

Part III includes the academic profile of the consumers. It was constructed by the

researchers in a check list form.

Part IV consists of the questions of the effects of online shopping with the variables

such as positive and negative effects. It is formulated in the modified 4- point Likert scale

(4) Strongly Agree; (3) Agree; (2) Disagree; (1) Strongly Disagree. Participants were

instructed to rate the statement and answer the question. This part from the questionnaire

was adapted and modified from the work of Andaya et. al, (2021), “The Correlation
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 21

between Online Shopping as Motivating Factor and Academic Diligence among the

Accountancy Students of Far Eastern University-Manila”, Chapter V, Page 93.

Part V consists of open-ended question about the reason why respondents

purchased online. The respondents were asked to state their honest opinion regarding the

questions being asked.

The research instrument was validated; corrections and suggestion were

incorporated in the final draft; surveys were done with the other respondents to check the

reliability and validity of the instrument.

Data Gathering Procedures

After the approval of the research topic entitled “The Correlation between Online

Shopping and Academic Performance of College students; A quantitative assessment”, the

researchers begin to gather and merge related data and information from the internet. The

Data gathered were used as a basis for the research questionnaires, which were validated

by experts who provided opinions and suggestions to further improve the research

instrument. The researchers conducted a dry run to check the reliability and validity of the

formulated questionnaire. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was tested and

measured to check the internal consistency. The validity of the research instrument was

established by presenting the developed research instrument for the comments of the

experts who rate the instrument. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was tested and

measured with a score of 0.7938, which means that the instrument that has been utilized

has a very good internal consistency. The validity of the research instrument was
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 22

established by presenting the developed research instrument for the comments of the

experts who rated the instrument with 4.74 as its weighted mean having a verbal

interpretation of very good. After validation of the questionnaires, the researchers were

conduct a pilot test to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and effectiveness of the research

instruments.

Thereafter, upon getting favourable results of reliability, the researchers requested

approval from their respective research advisers to conduct the study since the survey

questionnaires are posted online with some social media platforms, and lastly, the

researchers are free to conduct a survey.

The researchers formulated questionnaires that may answer the factors and

concerns indicated in the statement of the problem. The survey form is divided into five

(5) parts namely the profile of the respondents, profile purchase, academic profile, positive

and negative effects and reasons of purchase. Enumerated and explained in the consent part

is the voluntary participation indicating that the involvement in the study is completely

under the respondent’s discretion and right to withdraw from the study explaining that

respondents have the right to withdraw from the study. For the survey questionnaire part,

a notice was written addressed to the respondent containing an awareness that all

information was kept with utmost confidentiality. Also, the questionnaire proper is divided

into five parts namely the profile of the respondents, the survey questions, and the profile

of the respondents establishes the credibility of the respondents to ensure that all data

gathered are suitable and relevant. The survey questions answered the following objectives

indicated in the statement of the problem. Furthermore, the researchers formulated

multiple-choice questions that determined the online shopping behaviour of the


Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 23

respondents and the measurement of academic performance. A Likert scale was also used

in identifying the positive and negative effects of online shopping. An open-ended was to

identify the reason of purchase. Then, the researchers was proceed with the data gathering

properly by sending the survey questionnaires to our respondents. The data analysed by the

researchers to determine the analysis of data using different statistical methods, results and

conclusions, and recommendations.

Data Analysis Techniques

The information gathered from the locale was encoded, totaled, and examined. The

data collected were analyzed using statistical techniques such as percentage, frequency

distribution, weighted mean, Pearson R, and Thematic Analysis using Collaizi’s 7 Steps

Method. Results were interpreted using the scale.

SCALE MEAN RANGE INTERPRETATION DESCRIPTION


4 3.00 – 3. 75 Strongly Agree Highly in Favor
3 2.25 – 3.00 Agree In Favor
2 1.50 – 2.25 Disagree Not in Favor
1 0.75 – 1.50 Strongly Disagree Highly not in
Favor

Table 2 present the scales applied by the researchers in the interpretation and

description of data under the positive and negative effects of online shopping buying

behavior of the respondents to assess the level of impact. To determine the favorable using

a 4-point Likert scale. The purpose of the researchers is to identify the perspective of the

respondents which among the online shopping beliefs are being in highly in favor, in favor,

not in favor, and highly not in favor.

Table 3 indicates the percentage of responses based on their sex. According to the

findings above, 63% of respondents were female and 37% were male. Most female

respondents were more interested in purchasing online because they are self-conscious

about their appearance and avoid Self Reward. Women are far more savvy buyers than

males since they have greater needs. They must provide for many of their own needs.

According to Ha and Stoel (2004), women searched the Internet for information

about clothing products more frequently than men, hinting that women may be more likely

to become true online consumers in the future.

of respondents frequently purchased Once a month, while 5% or 16 purchased the least.

The need for convenience among respondents is growing. According to the respondents,

more than 75% of them make an online purchase at least once a month.

According to Kristensen (2022), it is vital to remember that the vast majority of

consumers who buy online do so relatively frequently, with 75% doing so at least once

each month.

Table 7 displays the percentage of responders by product. According to the

statistics, 27% or 209 of the things purchased by respondents are School Supplies, whereas

1% or 5 are Furniture. Respondents offers the opportunity to buy school goods in bulk and

resell them at a reasonable price, saving money for both the school and the pupils.

Tighe (2021) found that parents with in-person learning children were more

inclined to purchase in-store, whereas guardians with online learning children were more

likely to purchase online.

2.3 Volume of Purchase

Table 8 displays the percentage of respondents by item. According to the findings,

44% or 145 of the bulk of the things purchased by respondents are 1 piece, while 5% or 15

have the fewest, which are 4 pieces. More customers saved time and money by not driving

from store to store looking for the perfect item. Respondents inspect the actual goods to

check if they match the image they saw on the internet.

According to Haver (2008), today's millennials purchase online whenever possible,

restricting their options to one or two items before coming to the store to feel, taste, bounce,

and inspect the genuine product to see if it appears the same as it does online.

3. Measurement of Academic Profile

Table 9 indicates the percentage of responders who have GWA. According to the

findings, 64% or 212 of the majority of respondents have a GWA of 2.01 - 3.00, while 2%

or 6 have a GWA of 4.01-5.00. The impact of internet shopping on academic students is

that they do not have to travel outside to obtain what they require, which does not effect
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 32

their financial savings or academic performance. According to the respondents, rewarding

themselves is a fantastic motivator to keep going and feel proud of their accomplishments.

According to Yang (2022), permits students to evaluate if internet purchasing has

a substantial impact on their academic achievement as well as what motivates them as

students. Students are motivated to improve their academic performance by preserving

their grades while making internet purchases.

4. Assessment of Positive and Negative Effects of Online Shopping

4.1 Positive Effects of Online Shopping

Table 10 shows the findings of an evaluation of the beneficial benefits of online

purchasing.

Table 10 shows the favorable benefits of online purchasing, with a weighted mean

of 2.87 read as "Agree" with the description of "In Favor." Online purchases assist

respondents attain their academic goals and had the greatest weighted mean of 3.12 with

the interpretation of "Strongly Agree." On the other hand, online purchasing motivates

respondents to acquire higher marks and obtain the lowest mean, 2.60, which is understood

as "Agree." The majority of respondents make internet purchases that assist pupils attain

academic goals. According to the respondents, their grades and online purchases can

motivate them to meet their academic goals, while online purchases had no effect on their

motivation to meet their goals. Their online purchase has no effect on their grades.

When it comes to dealing with academics, Galla & Lewis et al., (2014) believe that

constant effort and work have a long way to go. Academic diligence is a targeted stage that

eventually serves a specific purpose. While students attempt to do well in class, certain

circumstances may compel them to behave inappropriately. Thus, self-rewarding is one of

the primary places where motivation appeared. Motivation can play a role in a person's

motivation to learn on a constant basis. It should be highlighted that motivation gives a

clear path for action plans and effective solutions. A study, however, demonstrates that

motivation isn't the main driver of higher marks, supporting Sikhawari's contention that

female students are more motivated than male students. It just implies the possibility of

gender.

Average Weighted Mean 2.77 Agree In Favor

Table 11 shows the findings of the negative consequences of online shopping,

which received a weighted mean of 2.77 and was interpreted as "Agree" with the

description of "In Favor." Online purchasing has the highest weighted mean of 3.06 with

the interpretation of "Strongly Agree." On the other hand, wasting time at night waiting for

promotion/coupons instead of studying earn the lowest mean which is 2.48 translated as

"Agree". According to the students, they only make one online purchase each month and
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 36

it is for a single item. Instead of being addicted to online shopping, students spend their

time studying. They only make one online buy per month rather than waiting for a

promotion.

According to company General Technology (2018), addicted recent studies have

revealed that internet purchasing, like conventional shopping, may become addictive. Not

everyone becomes addicted to online shopping, but a sizable proportion of people do.

Addicts frequently find it impossible to stop purchasing products online, to the point where

they were quickly begin acquiring items they do not need, and it is only a matter of time

before they incur significant debt.

5. Relationship of Frequency Buying on Online Shopping to Academic Performance

Table 12 displays the independent (purchase frequency) and dependent (academic

performance) variables. The researchers acquire a R value of -0.00456 using Pearson R

correlation, indicating that there is no significant correlation between the dependent and

independent variables. According to the table, the frequency of online buying appears to

be decreasing while the number of motivated students is increasing. This suggests that the

frequency of online shopping as a source of motivation is inversely related to academic

performance. Students who buy online perform better academically than those who shop

more frequently; thus, the frequency of students' online purchasing does not predict

academic achievement. This suggests that students are addicted, and they are waiting for

offers in online purchases is negatively related to academic achievement. Because the

researchers found a R-value near to zero, they reject the null hypothesis that there is no

meaningful association between the frequency of online purchases and academic

performance, as demonstrated by the figures.

The researchers examine the students' general purchasing behavior and it can be

observed that the odds ratio lowers as the number of purchases increases, which contradicts

the assumption of the buying for which online shopping is seen as a motivating factor by

others. A behavioral pattern implies a connection between the frequency of internet

purchases and academic performance.


Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 38

6. Relationship of Volume Buying on Online Shopping to Academic Performance

Table 13 depicts the independent (purchase volume) and dependent (academic

performance) factors. The researchers acquire a R value of -0.5555 using Pearson R

correlation, indicating a moderate correlation between the dependent and independent

variables. According to the table, some amount of online buying appears to be

decreasing, and students' academic performance appears to be decreasing. This suggests

that the volume of internet shopping as a motivator is only moderately related to

academic success. Students' academic achievement is associated with a significant degree

of online purchasing; thus, the volume of students' online shopping indicates academic

performance. Because the researchers achieved a R value close to zero, they reject the

null hypothesis that there is a substantial association between the frequency of online

transactions and academic performance. The pupils' academic performance is moderately

affected by their online purchase of one piece in one month. They would rather study

than shop online.

The ability of the family to provide, purchase intention, and personal and family

gain all influence the amount of purchases made by student-consumers, according to

Chiu et al (2014). According to the study's findings, while there is a strong association for

the class of necessary spenders, this is inadequate to suggest that the hypothesis should be

rejected because it does not apply to the entire spender classes.

Students buy online to motivate and de-stress themselves after completing schoolwork.

Students seek to make the most of their time as students by purchasing items online.

External awards, according to Jovanovic (2014), are no longer available. In terms

of student motivation, this is the dominating criteria. This study focuses on the impact of

internet shopping as a self-reward for motivating oneself, and how it corresponds with

academic success, self-efficacy, and academic rigor.

5. Significant Correlation between the Frequency of Online purchases used as

motivation in Academic Performance.

In terms of using Pearson r correlation, the Significant Correlation between the

Frequency of Online Purchases used as motivation in Academic Performance obtained an

R value of -0.00456 which means that there is no significant correlation between the

dependent and independent variables. Based on the table, the frequency of online shopping

seems to decrease and motivated students increases. This indicates that the frequency of

academic goals than those who shop more frequently, hence the frequency of students’

online shopping does not correlate with academic performance.

performance. Students most likely want to spend their time achieving academic goals rather

than spending their time browsing on online shopping which may lead to addiction.

Recommendations

Based on the findings, the researchers were able to present the following recommendations:

1. The retail business should be aware that the majority of teenagers prefer to shop online,

and they would benefit from ceasing advertising on teen-friendly platforms such as

Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram. This is especially true now that more

teenagers have smartphone access.

2. It is recommended that online shopping platforms continue to pursue their well-delivery

procedure in order to maintain consumer trust, since keeping people satisfied leads to

achieving client loyalty. Sellers should be reasonable in their delivery charges for products

that customers always buy because shipping costs might sometimes deter shoppers from

purchasing. Even if the products are cheaper, they may be more expensive than those

offered in a physical store due to the high cost of transporting a purchased product. Giving

the customer frequent purchases helped a company catch and attract more existing and

future customers who patronized your firm, maximizing sales. Online shopping is

encouraged to persuade clients to acquire as many things as possible.

3. Online purchasing should continue to serve the objective of motivating students'

academic performance.

4.It is advised that students avoid becoming overly dependent on internet shopping

activities in the hope that it will help them perform better in school. Students should also

watch their spending habits on online platforms and make acceptable purchases, as this

study indicated that internet buying had an impact on students' academic performance.

Although internet purchases can be motivating when used as a reward for each piece of

schoolwork completed, material enjoyment may diminish once the acquired products are
Online Shopping and Academic Performance of College Students 46

gone. Students should consequently focus a greater emphasis on the internal variables that

encourage them to attain academic success, such as their study habits, learning styles,

dedication to their studies and goals, and consistency.

5. Online shopping is advocated as a more convenient way for students to receive their

desired things or services with no effort.

6.Future researchers conducting a similar study should look for a relationship between

academic vigilance and a different motivating element, such as students' drive to perform

harder in school in order to gain financial aid Scholarships, for example, can help to reduce

their financial problems. Indeed, by understanding the student's financial status and

family's ability to support, the Researchers can collect not only useful information on the

elements impacting academic achievement, but also pertinent data on their internet buying

habits. The student's financial position will almost likely influence the "Type" of products

purchased, the "Frequency" of online purchases, and the "Amount Spent" on online

shopping platforms.

7. Online buying does not encourage students or boost their academic performance;

instead, each student should be accountable for their online purchases and ensure that they

will benefit from them; they should avoid making impulsive purchases.

8. Parents encourage their children in purchasing and spending money online, despite the

fact that internet shopping can be addictive to the students.
