E-service quality and e-recovery service quality: Effects on value perceptions and loyalty intentions

Abstract

With the raise of internet retailing, service quality of e-retailers has been recognized as an important factor in determining success levels of e-commerce ventures. New shopping habits resulted in a growing number of studies about customer satisfaction, trust, acceptance, service quality, customer perceptions and customer loyalty. Our paper examines the above-mentioned topic in Turkish e-business context. We applied our survey to 645 customers using the most popular 10 online retailers in Turkey, with the aim of understanding relationships between E-Service Quality, Perceived Value, Recovery Service Experiences and Loyalty intentions. We wanted to see the effects of recovery services during nonroutine encounters of customers with the sites as well as e- service quality’s effects on routine encounters. According to the results of our study, we can infer that there is a strong relationship between E-service Quality and Loyalty Intentions and Perceived Value act as a mediator between them.
