Security is one of the major concerns that widely discussed in past studies in relation to online shopping activities. Though there are huge studies looked into security aspect of online shopping, there is still lack of studies look into context of Malaysia and focused on online shopping adoption among gen Z only. Thus, this study aims to identify the level of security towards intention of adoption among gen Z, the level of intention towards online shopping among gen Z and the relationship between security and intention of online shopping adoption among gen Z. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is adopted as theoretical foundation in this research. This study has collected data from 100 respondents among UTHM students.
