E-commerce. Relacionamento de qualidade. Valor percebido. Comprometimento. Confiança.Resumo
A inovação tecnológica permite diferentes estratégias no atendimento de desejos e necessidades dos clientes. Em comparação com as lojas físicas tradicionais, o comércio electrônico oferece acesso e processo de pesquisa mais fácil para o comprador, permitindo-lhe encontrar a oferta mais adequada em relação à marca, preço, entrega e frete. Este cenário aumenta o desafio das empresas para desenvolver uma abordagem de marketing baseada em um relacionamento de qualidade com seus clientes, ao invés de uma perspectiva transacional, o que às vezes pode significar uma única compra. Este artigo relata a construção de um modelo para medir a qualidade do relacionamento entre consumidores e empresas de comércio eletrônico, explorando variáveis demográficas, atitude, comportamento e lealdade em relação a compras eletrônicas, valor percebido, comprometimento, satisfação e confiança. Realizou-se uma survey com clientes de uma empresa brasileira de comércio eletrônico que realizaram compras no período de 2009 a 2013, utilizando-se uma amostra não probabilística extraída de seu banco de dados. Os resultados iniciais levaram à ampliação da pesquisa com a inclusão dos construtos valor percebido, comprometimento, satisfação e confiança utilizando Modelagem de Equações Estruturais.
