Chiou and Droge (2006) also found that perceived trust had a moderating effect on the relationship between e-service quality – including facility and interactive service quality – and e-service satisfaction. Chen (2009) concluded that the effect of e-service value on e-service satisfaction was greater among those who trust the service more, and Hsu (2009) also found perceived trust to be a strong, positive moderator of the relationship between e-service value and e-service satisfaction. It is logical that the more customers feel safe and confident in using service transactions based upon high quality service experiences, the greater will be their satisfaction.
Kim et al. (2009) illustrate the model of e-loyalty development process which is began that e-trust has a strong moderating effect on the relationship between e-service quality including information quality, customer service, and security/privacy.
