Antecedentes da intenção de recompra dos consumidores no contexto de compras on-line

Abstract

The emergence of the internet and its popularity led to a change in the way we conduct business operations, what caused online shopping growth. These operations depend on perceptions and attitudes that make consumers materialize their purchases in this environment, and heighten their propensity to repeat these operations. Thus, this study aims to analyze the relationships between the constructs security, privacy, quality of information, trust and positive electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM) as antecedents of repurchase intention of consumers in online shopping context. To achieve this goal, initially we performed a theoretical review in these constructs, proposing a theoretical model that has been tested and validated. Afterwards, a survey was conducted with a sample of 410 consumers who have already performed this type of operation. The data was statistically analyzed using multivariate analysis techniques, specifically the Structural Equation Modeling, which assist in the explanation of the phenomenon studied. The main results indicate that security, privacy and the quality of online shopping site information positively affects trust in that site, and that trust, in turn, positively impacts consumers intention to repurchase. Furthermore, it was found that trust in online shopping site does not affect the involvement of consumers in positive electronic word-of-mouth, and this, in turn, does not impact on the repurchase intention in that site. As implication of these findings, this study contributed to a better understanding of the determinants of consumers intention to repurchase in online environments, which can have impact on the success of companies operating their business on the Internet.
