Web Sayfasına Güven ve Canlı Desteğin Yeniden Satın Alma Niyeti Üzerine Etkisi: Online Alışveriş Siteleri Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Her geçen gün internetin kullanımının artması, kullanıcıların internetten 7/24 alışveriş yapabiliyor olmaları online mağazaların da artmasına yol açmıştır. Elektronik ticaretin giderek yaygınlaşması, online ortamda rekabeti de artırmaktadır. Bu durum işletmeleri kullanıcıları elde tutmak için yollar aramaya sevk etmiştir. Yani işletmeler açısından yeniden satın alma kavramı önem kazanmıştır. Online alışverişte müşterilerin yeniden satın alım yapmalarının sağlanması, işletmelerin yeni müşteri bulma çabalarından daha az maliyetlidir. Dolayısıyla kullanıcılar için önemli olan web sayfasına güven kavramı ve her zaman iletişime geçebilecekleri bir müşteri temsilcisi bulma kavramlarının yeniden satın almaya etkisi önem kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, web sayfasına güven ve canlı desteğin yeniden satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkisinin ne ölçüde olduğu ve aralarında nasıl bir ilişki olduğu temel olarak 6 hipotez sınaması aracılığıyla incelenmektedir. Araştırma internetten alışveriş yapan 346 kişi üzerinde anket aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları incelendiğinde canlı destek, web sayfasına güven ve yeniden satın alma niyeti arasında pozitif ilişkiler bulunmuş olup, ortaya konulan hipotezler doğrulanmıştır.
