Abstract

India is witnessing tremendous growth in the acceptance of online shopping among people. To harness this opportunity, it is important to understand and ensure repurchase intention among customers. Hence, this research article explored the mediating role of trust between satisfaction and repurchase intention in online shopping context. The conceptual repurchase model was developed and tested using SEM on empirical data of 562 online shoppers. Results showed significant influence of satisfaction on repurchase intention and a partial mediation effect of trust between satisfaction and repurchase intention. The predictive power of the research model increased from 58% to 64% due to mediation. The findings suggested that making efforts to improve the feeling of satisfaction and building trust are two stepping stones to enhance repurchase intention among customers. The result of the present research can help online marketers in understanding the importance of trust along with satisfaction for ensuring continuation among old customers. Also, present research will make value addition in ever-increasing online marketing literature.
