In recent years, examining the determinants and outcomes of online trust in emerging online markets in the North Africa Region has been lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this study is twofold: first, to gain knowledge of the key predictors of online trust in Morocco; second, to investigate the consequences of online trust on perceived risk, attitude, and online purchase intentions in Morocco. A research model based on the work of Jarvenpaa et al. (2000) was empirically tested. Data was collected from a total of 414 experienced online buyers through online surveys. The PLS approach using SmartPLS 3 was performed to test the hypotheses. The results demonstrate that the effect of perceived size and perceived reputation on online trust is positively significant; online trust has a significant positive influence on attitude and significant negative influence on perceived risk; online trust and attitude positively influence purchase intention; perceived risk has a significant negative effect on attitude and the negative influence of perceived risk on purchase intentions was found to be not significant. The post-hoc analysis further shows that attitude transmits completely the effect of perceived risk on purchase intention, while perceived risk partially mediates the effects of online trust on attitude.
