Role of EWOM, Product Satisfaction, and Website Quality on Customer Repurchase Intention

Abstract

This chapter presents a structural model to determine the role played by website quality (WEQ), product satisfaction, and electronic word of mouth (EWOM) on e-commerce customer satisfaction and their repurchase intention. Online retail business model consists of unique characteristics that offer the service and products to the customer after understanding their requirements and feedback given by the fellow customers in the form of electronic word of mouth. The findings of this chapter suggest that WEQ can be conceptualized as a multi-item construct consisting of system quality (SQ), content quality (CQ), trust (TR), usage (US), customer support (CS), customer feedback (CF), and personalization (PR). This chapter confirms that WEQ, product satisfaction, and EWOM are positively related to e-commerce customer satisfaction (ECS) as well as to repurchase intention (RI). Though the product satisfaction has a significant direct effect on customer satisfaction and repurchase intention, the EWOM and WEQ have greater influence on customer satisfaction and also on repurchase intention.
