Öz

Çevrimiçi mağaza atmosferi, site tasarımında kullanılan elemanların belirli bir müşteri çıktısı elde etmek için bilinçli olarak bir araya getirilmesi olarak ifade edilir. Mağaza atmosferi elemanları müşterinin satın alma kararını doğrudan etkileyebilir, müşteriyi hedonik yönden tatmin ederek siteye yönelik olumlu niyetler oluşturmasını sağlayabilir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, düşük görev ilgili çevrimiçi atmosfer elemanlarından ürün dışı resimler, üye ortaklar, site ödülleri ve güvenlik rozetlerinin müşterinin siteye yönelik yakınlaşma niyetinin oluşmasındaki etkisini incelemektir. E-perakende simülasyonu oluşturularak tamamlanan deneysel araştırmadan elde edilen veriler SPSS 25.0 paket programında çoklu regresyon analizi uygulanarak değerlendirilmiştir.
