Abstract: A significant amount of research in service operations has focused on customer journey and experience along the e-retail service delivery (e-RSD). Literature reveals that little research has focused on the service process-beliefs of the customer journey in multi-stage e-RSD. The objective of this paper is to see the influence of perceived service process-beliefs on stage satisfaction and attempt to study the impact of stage satisfaction on the customer's overall satisfaction in multi-stage e-RSD. Survey data was collected from 455 Indian customers. Multiple regression analysis is used to find the significance of independent variables on dependent variables. The results identify the significant service process-beliefs impacting the stage satisfactions and results show that all four stage-satisfactions are affecting the overall customer satisfaction. This study offers empirical proof to comprehend the service process-beliefs that affect stage satisfactions in multi-stage e-RSD which can be used by managers to tailor their e-retail service offerings.
