This study, focusing on Iraqi university students, seeks to identify the factors influencing the acceptance of smart voice assistants in e-commerce, given the cultural, technological, and security challenges that may hinder the adoption of this technology. The study aims to develop a local framework that illustrates students' willingness to integrate voice assistants into their shopping habits. The research employed a qualitative, data-driven approach, utilizing a literature review using MAXQDA software. The analysis process comprised five phases, resulting in the extraction of 405 symbols, which were then grouped into key concepts and categories that illustrate the relationships between the variables. The results showed that the acceptance of voice assistants is influenced by individual, social, and technological factors, most notably perceived usefulness, ease of use, security and privacy, presence and social recognition, entertainment value, infrastructure, attitude, and trust. Perceived usefulness and privacy had the highest weighting (15.9%), while attitude had the lowest impact. Infrastructure and cultural compatibility also emerged as important local factors not covered by traditional acceptance models. It was found that security and privacy are fundamental to building trust, and that social and entertainment factors enhance the intent to use the technology. The conceptual model offered a framework more suited to the Iraqi context, calling for improved digital security, infrastructure development, and cultural adaptation of technology to facilitate its adoption among young people.
