Within an e-service setting, our review of studies shows thatthe means-ends-chain theory is descriptively accurate and con-ceptually sound. For example, consumers may evaluate theirconsumption experiences in terms of specific attributes suchas “product selection” which may then be related to higherorder performance dimensions such as “website design.” Thedimensions are associated with e-service quality, which in turnis associated with key outcomes such as customer satisfaction,customer behavioral intentions (e.g., repurchase intentions), andcustomer behavior (e.g., word-of-mouth; see Mittal and Frennea2010). Conceptually and empirically, a key issue is to determinethe relative weight (or importance) afforded to each attributeand each dimension (LaTour and Peat 1979). In such a con-ceptual approach, it is critical to understand (i) the strength ofrelationships among the different components and overall e-service quality, (ii) overall e-service quality and its outcomessuch as customer satisfaction, repurchase intentions, and word-of-mouth, and (iii) different factors that can moderate theseassociations
