Abstract: This study aimed to explore the individuals' intention towards the social commerce in Pakistan through the theoretical lenses of technology acceptance mode, theory of reasoned action and theory of planned behaviour. A parsimonious structure of the key constructs of TAM, TRA and TBP along with an additional construct of perceived risk was developed. The researchers have developed a research questionnaire and distributed among the respondents to yield the data about the study constructs. Furthermore, PLS-SEM approach was utilised, through SmartPLS software, to test the hypothesised relationships between the study constructs. The results disclosed the significant highlights about the individuals' behavioural intention towards social commerce with respect to Pakistan, which are useful for the academicians as well as for the policy makers.
