The goodness of model fit was found using Structural equation Modelling (SEM) of AMOS and the relationship between e-service quality and customer satisfaction was analyzed through Inter - correlation and Regression analysis. The results show that e-service quality factors have a positive impact and also highlighted as a significant predictor for customer satisfaction.
