2. Literature review
2.1. Tiktok and tiktok shop?
TikTok is a social platform and short video which is popular in the world. This
platform allows users to create, share, and browse short videos lasting for 15-second
to 60-second. The special point of Tiktok attracts variable users including teenagers
and older people with many contexts such as comedy, music, culture, beauty, food
and others. The name Tiktok is meant to suggest the short formal of the videos
launched in September 2016 by the Chinese startup company ByteDance, it is
known there as Douyin. Its stratospheric growth in usage really began in late 2017,
when it acquired a rival app, Musical.ly, and ported over its 200-million-account list
to Tiktok.( DEBORAH D’SOUZA- FEBRUARY 15, 2024). Even though TikTok is
a little behind in the s-commerce game compared to its competitors like Facebook

and Instagram, its users which are mostly Generation-Z and millennial give them an
advantage in terms of loyalty. Furthermore, it makes TikTok grows more
popular when everything that is trending around the globe revolves within the
application infun short videos embedded with trending music (Information
Management and Business Review (ISSN 2220-3796)Vol. 15, No. 1, pp. 176-183,
March 2023- Nor Sheena Andon& Sharifah Nurafizah Syed Annuar). TikTok Shop
is a one-stop E-commerce solution for driving sales and brand growth on TikTok.
TikTok Shop allows sellers to sell products directly on TikTok through in-feed
videos, LIVES, and the Showcase tab. It enables product discovery, product details,
checkout, and post-payment activities all within the TikTok app.(Tiktok commerce
january 24). Tik Tok has a considerable impact on online shopping behavior,
especially among the younger generation. Tik tok ‘s platform is engaging and
entertaining with a powerful tool for brands and key opinion leaders (KOL) to
introduce products and make people feel the desire to purchase. One of the signature
formats of Tik tok is short-form video that creates a dynamic and visually appealing
way to introduce products, attract the attention of users and affect their buying
decisions. In TikTok Shop, users engage actively in the live feed and
comments section when replying to each other in written form or video
replies. A greater audience reach is more possible for businesses that
actively utilize gathering information to assist in their social media
marketing strategy (Nor Sheena Andon& Sharifah Nurafizah Syed Annuar- March
2023). e-commerce vendors are looking for marketing and business opportunities on
social media platforms, since the virtual social media arena has evolved into a
platform for communication, networking, and content sharing. Tiktok shop allows
mobile e-commerce vendors to quickly and easily create videos with integrated
recording, editing, and sharing capabilities. Tiktok enables mobile e-commerce
vendors to create roughly 15-second looping videos with advanced editing features
such as in-camera speed controls, image tracking composites, collaborative split-
screen video editing, and camera motion and visual effects. These editing features
improve the basic features of mobile devices so that they can be used for business.

utilitarian incentives, encompassing convenience, desire for variety, product quality,
cost-effectiveness, and time efficiency. The second aspect pertains to hedonic
motivations, such as joy, fantasy, escapism, stimulation, sensuality, and pleasure.
Baber et al. (2014) describe the third aspect as perceived ease of use and usefulness.
A separate dimension involves perceived risks, which influence consumer behavior
in online shopping.
Moreover, there are two distinct types of perceived risks influencing consumer
behavior in the online shopping process. They are further delineated as the first
category, comprising financial, time, and product risks associated with online
products and services, while the second category encompasses risks related to e-
transactions, including privacy and security (Li & Zhang, 2002). Numerous
researchers (Kumar & Dange, 2014; Samadi & Nejadi, 2009; Hassan et al., 2006;
Subhalakshami & Ravi, 2015) have contended that perceived risks such as financial
risk, product risk, non-delivery risk, time risk, privacy risk, information risk, social
risk, and personal risk exert a negative and significant impact on consumers' online
shopping behavior. Trust and security in e-retailers represent another facet of
consumer behavior; Monsuwe et al. (2004) proposed that a positive shopping
experience fosters trust in e-retailers and mitigates perceived risks

The figure represents the theoretical framework. We choose the following
variables to represent the independent variables: Advertising Contents ( H1 ),The
duration of time spent ( H2 ),The effects of celebrities, influencers ( H3 ), ,
Instructional videos (H4 ) , Reviews and feedback (H5) ,and the dependent variable

content is structured, the strategies used to create effective advertisements, and the
impact of advertising content on consumer behavior and market outcomes.

types of content, the role of engagement and interaction, and the overall
implications for businesses seeking to leverage content marketing to drive

To understand and extensively analyze the influence of the Tiktok platform on
young people's online shopping behavior, as well as how Tiktok changes the way
of approaching and promoting products in the digital age.

without any artificial interference.
Research strategy:

would be the best method of approach. Quantitative research focuses on

quantifying the collection and analysis of data like attitudes of a respondent,
opinions or other defined variables which is perfect to generalize results from a
larger sample population (DeFranzo, 2011).
Unit of analysis
Because it is necessary to accurately measure the influence of independent
variables on the dependent variable through sales of brands over different times,
we selected the multiple cross-sectional study.
