Abstract:
The internet has given birth to the new industry called online retailing, which involves selling via the internet. It is a hot and fast-growing industry and can grab the attention of retailers as well as customers. Despite this tremendous attention, the success rate did not meet the expectations. The association between e-service quality (E-SQ) and customer loyalty (CL) has remained ambiguous due to contradictory empirical results and how the relationship between these two variables gets affected when e-satisfaction (E-S) and perceived switching costs (PSCs) also come into the picture. There is such study which talks about the moderated mediation effect of PSC and E-S between E-SQ and CL. Data was collected from 242 respondents who entertain him/herself shopping over the internet. The results exhibited that all three constructs have strong association along with the mediating effect of E-S, but we did not find the moderating role of PSC. Implications, limitations and future study have been explained in this investigation.
Keywords: perceived switching costs; PSCs; e-service quality; E-SQ; mediation and moderation e-satisfaction; customer loyalty. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
