Online Alışveriş Sitesi Kaynaklı Müşteri Algılarının Müşteri Memnuniyetine Etkilerinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Müşteri memnuniyeti, online alışveriş sitelerinde sürekliliği, karlılığı ve müşteri bağlılığının oluşturulmasında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada online alışveriş sitelerinden alışveriş yapan müşterilerin memnuniyetini etkileyen online alışveriş sitesi kaynaklı müşteri algılarını belirlemek, bu algılar arasındaki örüntüyü incelemek ve bu kapsamda bir müşteri memnuniyet modeli önermek amaçlanmıştır. İlk olarak alanyazından faydalanılarak müşteri memnuniyetine etki edeceği düşünülen müşteri algıları belirlenmiş ve bir kuramsal model oluşturulmuştur. Daha sonra bu model Gazi Üniversitesi Gazi Eğitim Fakültesi İlköğretim ile Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Eğitimi (BÖTE) Bölümlerinde okuyan 553 lisans öğrencisinin oluşturduğu çalışma grubundan toplanan verilerle test edilmiştir.  Çalışmanın verileri 21 maddeden oluşan Online Alışveriş Müşteri Algıları ve Müşteri Memnuniyeti Ölçeği (OAMA-MMÖ) ile toplanmış ve açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) teknikleri kullanılarak modelin uygunluğu test edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda müşteri memnuniyetini güvenlik ve müşteri ilişkileri algılarının etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Müşteri ilişkileri algısının müşteri memnuniyetini en fazla etkileyen faktör olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak model doğrulanmış ve bulgular ilgili alanyazın ile karşılaştırılarak araştırmacılar ile yöneticilere öneriler sunulmuştur.
