User Satisfaction
The literature review did not reveal any e-commerce-specific instruments for measuring user satisfaction. Molla and Licker emphasize the importance of “customer e-commerce satisfaction” and define it as “the reaction or feeling of a customer in relation to his/her experience with all aspects of an e-commerce system” [25, p. 7]. Reichheld and Schefter’s “e-loyalty” represents a good surrogate measure of customer satisfaction in the e-commerce environment [36]. Mehta and Sivadas proposed that customer attitudes are important measures of e-commerce success [24]. It is recommended here that researchers adopt and adapt user information satisfaction and end-user support satisfaction instruments as appropriate for specific e-commerce research. Some items will need to be reworded, and new items will have to be added to the
traditional measurement instruments.
