Amaç- Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinde meydana gelen köklü değişikliklerin önemli bir yansıması olarak online alışveriş tüketicilerin günlük yaşamlarının, işletmelerin ise faaliyetlerinin vazgeçilmez bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, online alışveriş yapan tüketicilerin sadakatinin, tüketici ataleti ve tüketici memnuniyetleri konseptleri ile açıklamaktır.

Yöntem- Bu amaca ulaşmak için, çevrimiçi alışveriş tüketicilerinden yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle veriler toplanmıştır. Öngörülen hipotezlerin test edilmesi için; SPSS ve faktör ve çoklu regresyon analizi ile toplam 137 anket analiz edilmiştir.

Bulgular- Sonuçlar hem müşterinin memnuniyeti hem de ataletinin çevrimiçi alışveriş sadakati üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.

Sonuç- Bu bağlamda çalışma kapsamında elde edilecek sonuçların, Türk online alışverişçilerin sadakatlerinde etkili olan unsurlara farklı bir bakış açısı sunacağı düşünülmektedir.
