The Effect of E-Service Quality Level Perceived from the E-Commerce Tools Used by Individuals Residing in the GAP Region on Customer Satisfaction

Abstract

Incredible developments in information technologies cause necessary changes in organizations, also known as businesses. Especially because of technology, then competition and finally consumer pressure, businesses have entered a restructuring process. At this point, "internet" emerged as an important marketing tool. E-commerce has been accepted by users with the advantages it provides to businesses and consumers and has started to spread rapidly. Businesses are freed from many restrictive aspects of traditional marketing activities thanks to e-commerce. In this way, businesses have had the opportunity to reach their customers or target audiences without having to bear high costs. In this study, individuals who participated in our survey were asked to evaluate the e-commerce site they shop from. The survey we prepared was shared on social media websites, WhatsApp, e-mails. The questionnaire filled out by 1067 people reached by these means was analyzed. First of all, reliability and validity analyzes of all scales used in our study were made, and then multiple and simple regression analyzes were performed in order to test the relationships between the variables in the hypotheses. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that the predicted relationships between variables are highly supported. The findings we have obtained are of great importance for the sector in which e-commerce businesses are in, where intense competition is experienced.
