EFFECTS OF SATISFACTION, TRUST AND THEIR ANTECEDENTS ON ONLINE REPURCHASE INTENTION

ABSTRACT

The present study sought to analyze the effects of satisfaction, trust and their antecedents on online repurchase intention. Based on extant theory, a model was proposed to evaluate the effects of several relevant constructs on consumers’ intention to repurchase online. The model’s hypotheses were tested through a survey that resulted in a sample of 250 individuals, all of whom had made online purchases in the past. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling, with the verification of significant effects in several of the study's hypotheses, with trust acting as a mediator between the other constructs and the intention to repurchase online. Five out of the nine of the proposed hypotheses were confirmed, namely the relationships between ease of use and perceived control, perceived control and trust, satisfaction and trust, perceived benefits and satisfaction, and trust and online repurchase intention.
