Value co-creation in e-services: The case of websites

The objective of the research was to propose a conceptual model with the integration of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Dynamic Capabilities Theory, and the Contingency Theory, and with the review and analysis of the topics e-Service Quality (e-SQ), e-Relationship Quality, e-Trust, e-Satisfaction, Disruptive Factors, Technology Platform, Customer Involvement and Interaction, Value Co-Creation and Continuous e-Loyalty. E-service is strategically used to create brand value. E-commerce will strongly depend on trust. Therefore, online companies must make and maintain a loyal customer base. The face-to-face pre-purchase research, post-purchase feedback, website, and social media technologies have changed e-commerce into more social commerce. The imposition of accelerated technology, consumer interaction, and the fierce COVID-19 pandemic are the factors that most influence value co-creation. The current crisis and new challenges affect the quality of relationships, consumer loyalty, and value co-creation. © International Association for Computer Information Systems. All Rights Reserved.

Effect of COVID-19 health threat on consumer's perceived value towards mobile payments in India: a means-end model

Shifting to mobile payments from offline payments can be considered as a social distancing measure in times of a pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak is currently entering its 'endemic' stage;continued usage of mobile-based payment services is thereby warranted as a social distancing mechanism. This could be true in case of any other pandemic/endemic outbreaks like SARS/Nipah virus outbreaks. The current study examines how the 'perceived' health threat posed by COVID-19 and mobile payment service quality (MPSQ) influence consumers' perceived value toward continuous usage of mobile payment services (MPS) in India. In addition, the investigation considers other factors that prompt consumers to continue using the service. Customers, who used mobile payment applications for making cashless transactions during the pandemic, formed the subjects of the study. Data were collected from 720 mobile payment users. The research model integrates the concept of health threat in health belief model to means-end chain model to explain why a customer opts to choose m-payment at times of a pandemic, and what prompts him/her to continue with its usage. The model was empirically tested with structural equation modeling, along with mediation and moderation analysis. It was found that MPSQ, perceived susceptibility, and perceived severity of COVID-19 significantly enhanced consumers' value perceptions regarding MPS, which leads to satisfaction and continuance intention of using the same. In addition, the study also found a significant positive moderating role of consumer involvement on the relationship between perceived health threat, perceived value, and MPSQ. The threat of COVID-19, being an endemic, or occurrence of similar pandemics persists, and adopting contactless transactions via MPS to comply with social distancing norms may improve customer value perceptions that could aid in the persistence of MPS usage. Also, derivation of value perceptions out of the service quality acts as a driver to continuous usage.

Impact of e-service quality on e-loyalty of online banking customers in Pakistan during the Covid-19 pandemic: mediating role of e-satisfaction

This study explores the mediating role of e-satisfaction during the pandemic on the relationship between e-service quality and e-loyalty of banking customers in Pakistan. The data were collected from 442 customers of online banking services in Pakistan during the Covid-19 pandemic, following a survey-based study. Baron and Kenny (J Personal Soc Psychol, 51(6):1173, 1986) and Preacher and Hayes (Behav Res Methods, 40(3):879-891, 2008) mediation technique which utilizes the bootstrapping method has been used to explore mediation. The findings show that e-service quality has a significant positive effect on the e-loyalty of the customers of online banking services. Relationships between e-service quality and e-loyalty of online banking customers in Pakistan are significantly and fully mediated by their online satisfaction in unusual situations. This study would help the bankers to implement more effective marketing strategies to retain their customers and attract potential customers, particularly during non-normal situations like the Covid-19 pandemic. It will help them identify the areas of e-services that need improvement to enhance the satisfaction and loyalty of the customers. The bootstrap method for mediation along with Baron and Kenny (J Personal Soc Psychol, 51(6):1173, 1986) leads to using a more sophisticated methodological technique to explore the mediation. The Oliver Expectancy-Disconfirmation Paradigm (EDP) in electronic banking setup during non-normal situations like the Covid-19 pandemic also served as a unique contribution to this study. Application of Baron and Kenny (J Personal Soc Psychol, 51(6):1173, 1986) mediation along with Preacher and Hayes (Behav Res Methods, 40(3):879-891, 2008) leads to more robust findings for the study in non-normal situations like the Covid-19 pandemic. The study findings add scientific value as they are applicable to the banking sector in particular in non-normal situations like the Covid-19 pandemic and the overall service sector in general. Further, as two different methods of mediation have been employed and this makes the study more rigorous and scientific.

A Large-Scale Study of Students' E-Service-Learning Experiences and Outcomes During the Pandemic

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in strict social distancing and lockdown measures to contain the spread of the disease. These measures significantly impacted experiential pedagogies, including service-learning. Many teachers pivoted to e-service-learning. While past literature suggests that e-service-learning is as, or even more effective than, traditional service-learning, there are few large-scale comparative studies that support this claim. Purpose: Our study fills the research gap via a large-scale study into student e-service-learning experiences and outcomes during COVID-19. Methodology/Approach: The study examines learning outcomes of students taking e-service-learning subjects during the early stage of the pandemic, i.e., the 2020/21 academic year, in a Hong Kong university, and compares their learning experiences and gains with a similar group of students who studied the same subjects from 2014/15 to 2018/19. Findings/Conclusions: Results indicate that while e-service-learning is effective in enhancing students' cognitive and civic learning, it is less effective than traditional service-learning in facilitating civic learning outcomes. Implications: Investigating students' learning experiences suggests that the quality of reflection and interaction with the community, which are critical learning experience components, may have been impacted by online communication. These factors may have played a key role in influencing the effectiveness of e-service-learning compared to traditional service-learning.

E-service-learning is equally effective as traditional service-learning in enhancing student developmental outcomes

The adoption of online learning has been accelerated by COVID-19, including experiential learning such as service-learning (SL). This study compares the student developmental outcomes between the traditional face-to-face and e-service-learning (E-SL) to reveal the effectiveness of E-SL and its good practices. A self-reporting measurement instrument was used to collect and compare the developmental outcomes perceived by students before and after SL experience between the traditional SL and E-SL cohorts of a course with the same setting, including instructor, curriculum, and assessment criteria. Qualitative research methodology is adopted to analyse students' learning artefacts to reveal possible reasons for the differences identified in student developmental outcomes, and good practices derived in E-SL. Results indicate that both traditional SL and E-SL cohorts show significant enhancement in student developmental outcomes after participating in SL. Although there are no significant differences between the two cohorts, E-SL seems to slightly outperform traditional SL in enhancing student developmental outcomes. Qualitative analysis indicates that good practices, such as stakeholders' commitment and students' constant reflection, could be the reasons why the challenges posed by the online environment in E-SL is turned into learning opportunities to students. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Being "green” to trust and continue in a global pandemic

PurposeGiven the severe impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on bank business activities, this study aims to examine how green brand image and online trust affect customers' continuance intention (CI) under the boundary condition of perceived effectiveness of e-services (PEES).Design/methodology/approachAn extensive review of the green marketing perspective was conducted to identify the incremental contributions of the current study (e.g. extensions of online trust and PEES). The authors used the common questionnaire survey strategy for the data collection while applying the partial least squares technique for further analyses.FindingsUsing data from 460 bank customers, the findings indicated that online trust positively mediates the relationship between green brand image and CI under the moderating effect of PEES. At high levels of PEES, online trust exerts strongest effect on customers' CI.Research limitations/implicationsThis study responds to the emerging call for understanding the PEES role, under which online trust leads to CI in the context of the global pandemic.Practical implicationsThe authors provide bank managers with a helpful extension of green marketing with PEES to manage online trust and customer intention, thereby increasing the managers' strategic effectiveness.Originality/valueThe current study explores the moderating role of PEES that plays in the green brand image, online trust and CI relationships, in responding to the pandemic situation.

The moderating role of trust in government adoption e-service during Covid-19 pandemic: health belief model perspective.

The present paper discusses the influence of factors in the health belief model (HBM) on adopting government e-services during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Furthermore, the present study demonstrates the moderating effect of trust in HBM. Therefore, we propose an interacting model between trust and HBM. A survey of 299 citizens in Indonesia was used to test the proposed model. By using a structural equation model (SEM), this study found that the HBM factors (perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, cues to action, health concern) significantly affect the intention to adopt government e-services during the Covid-19 pandemic, except for the perceived severity factor. In addition, this study reveals the role of the trust variable, which significantly strengthens the effect of HBM on government e-service.

Online Shopping During COVID-19: A Comparison of USA and Canada

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments restricted economic activity by imposing lockdowns or requiring capacity constraints, thereby impacting brick-and-mortar businesses. Consumers responded by staying at home and turning to online shopping. Some consumers were already familiar with online shopping, whereas for others it was a new experience. As restrictions are removed or reduced, consumers may permanently change their shopping habits and continue to buy online with greater frequency than prior to the pandemic. With empirical data from a cross section of Canadian and American consumers, this study investigates the factors that influence the continuation of online shopping. The results show that there is little difference between Canadians and Americans, with perceptions of convenience significantly influencing perceived usefulness, and efficiency being a significant factor as well but only for Americans. Perceived usefulness is important for continuance intentions, with hedonic motivation having a moderating effect. Our results provide guidance to practitioners who are interested in consumers' online shopping intentions after the pandemic and factors that can foster such activities.

Analyzing the mediating effect of consumer online purchase intention in online shopping of domestic appliances

The advancement of technology along with the unprecedented situation like Covid-19 has brought a big revolution in the e-commerce industry. The consumer finds ease in shopping domestic appliances online as compared to traditional shopping. The present study is being conducted to investigate the factors that influence customers' online purchasing intentions (COPI) whereby trust (TT), perceived use and usefulness (PEUU), e-service quality (ESQL), perceived behavior control (PBC), subjective norms (SNM) and consumer online shopping behavior (COSB) were analyzed. A questionnaire was utilised as a survey tool to collect data from 383 respondents using a quantitative methodology. The data were examined using structural equation modelling (SEM) to test the hypothesis, fit the model, and determine the relationship between the variables evaluated. The analysis concluded that consumer online purchase intention (COPI) acts as a mediator between the independent variables (TT, PEUU, ESQL, PBC, SNM) and the dependent variable consumer online shopping behavior (COSB). According to the findings, perceived use and usefulness (PEUU) had a negative influence on purchase intention and behaviour, but consumer online purchase intention had a substantial effect on consumer online purchasing behaviour. The study provides scope and new avenues for future research. In addition to this, it also provides the platform for other researchers to target a specific age, gender, education, or marital status to design a new pattern of online shopping.

Impact of the e-Learning-Service methodology on university students during COVID-19, does it favor teamwork and innovation?

Introduction. This paper aims to determine whether e-Service-Learning, as a methodology that encourages learning based on student action and reflection on a social need, has a positive effect on an innovation-oriented teamwork competency, and to specify which areas of teamwork are affected, and any type of causal relationship that may exist between these areas, student's motivation and student's work engagement. These types of competencies are in high demand in the workplace. Method. A quasi-experimental design was proposed, with 298 students enrolled in an undergraduate degree in Tourism, Psychology or Teacher of Early Childhood Education, at the University of Almeria (Spain). One group had contact with e-SL (198 students), and a second group did not (100). The instruments used were the Team Climate Inventory (TCI-14) (adapted by Boada-Grau et al., 2011) and the student version of the Cuestionario de Aprendizaje y Servicio para entidades educativas [Learning and service questionnaire for educational institutions] (Fernandez-Torres et al., 2017). Results. Statistically significant between-group differences were shown in the variable support for innovation;and statistically significant, positive relationships were found between all the variables in the experimental group. Likewise, the data indicate that innovation, which was acquired through the practice of teamwork in e-SL, helped to increase academic motivation, which in turn affected student interest in working toward the best outcome, with the latter acting as a mediating variable between the two. Discussion and conclusions. These results show the need for socially engaged universities to take steps to consolidate these practices in university degree programs, because they further the development of transversal competencies.

Examining the effects of electronic service quality on online banking customer satisfaction: Evidence from Zambia

While several studies examine the influence of service quality on customer satisfaction in physical retail banking offices, there is a shortage of studies on service quality in the digital space of banking. Further, many developing country contexts such as Zambia are under-researched, limiting the generalisability of prior research conclusions. Hence, the purpose of this research is to examine electronic service quality in online retail banking and its influence on customer satisfaction during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in the under-researched context of Zambia. Based on a quantitative correlational design, primary sample data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 314 bank customers from two of Zambia’s largest cities, Lusaka and Kitwe. The data were analysed using correlation and multiple regression models. The findings indicate that the E-SERVQUAL model is applicable in the Zambian context and that security, website attribute, privacy, responsiveness, efficiency, fulfilment and reliability are indeed relevant to electronic service quality and they affect customer satisfaction;the multiple coefficients of determination (51.1%) and correlation (71.5%) indicate a large effect size. This extends the E-SERVQUAL model into the under-researched developing country context of online banking in Zambia during the COVID-19 restrictions. The implications to policy and practice are that improving security, website attributes, privacy, efficiency, responsiveness, fulfilment and reliability would result in higher customer satisfaction and usage of the online facilities. Since the study was limited to two, albeit the biggest, cities of Zambia, increasing the number of cities and countries sampled would improve generalisability. © 2022 The Author(s).

E-Service Quality Assessment According to Hierarchical Service Quality Models

E-commerce is becoming more and more popular. The COVID-19 pandemic made its development even faster. Currently, an enterprise that does not provide its services via the Internet is suffering heavy losses. Online shopping is largely different from traditional purchases, so their assessment should be made on the basis of different criteria. The aim of the paper was to assess the quality of services provided by the selected e-shop, in terms of its commercial services. The first stage of the research was the analysis of the literature in terms of hierarchical models of e-service quality, which in their structure indicate the areas of assessment. This allowed for the construction of the author's hierarchical model of e-services and for making a list of attributes that were used in further research. On the example of the clothing e-shop, an analysis of the provided services was made, taking into account the opinions of its customers. The Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) was selected as the basis for conducting the survey research and analyzing its results, which facilitates the commenting of the obtained results. The research allowed to indicate the strengths and weaknesses of the examined e-shop, but also to identify areas requiring improvement in order to increase the quality of the offered services, as well as the customers satisfaction.
