Abstract
This paper presents the literature review of studies published in 2004-2014 (Web 2.0 period) in the area of consumer online trust. Based on the content analysis of 138 papers, this study highlights 3 major research: themes:
- trust models
- technological
- social factors impacting online trust.
It also explores topics in each major theme found in direct studies of online consumer trust. Since this literature review uses the concept-centric approach, it points out not only the major trends in research but also 3 understudied areas: green trust, trust recovery, and the role of ethics in developing online trust.
