The distinctions based on the demographic attributes with respect to the factors identified as well as on the total perception is also studied using one way ANOVA/t-test. Literature review along with unstructured interviews with 15 people (eight males and seven females) in the age group 22-55 years old on factors such as motivation, attitude and purchase intention towards CRM were used to design a questionnaire. 325 respondents were personally contacted and 180 were administered the instrument using social media channels. Factor analysis was carried out to obtain factors of perception. To further examine the relationship between them, the PLS-SEM technique was employed for the measurement model.
