Modelling electronic customer relationship management success: functional and temporal considerations
M. Khalifaa* and K.N. Shenb a Information Systems Department, City University of Hong Kong, 83 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong; bDepartment of Management Information Systems, Abu Dhabi University, PO Box 59911, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (Received 23 November 2006; final version received 26 January 2008) Previous information systems satisfaction research predominantly focused on generic technological attributes, failing to account for the specificity of the artefact. Furthermore, viewing satisfaction as a static evaluation state, the prevalent cross-sectional approach could not account for the dynamic nature of satisfaction. In this study, we address these gaps by following a functional approach and taking a temporal view in developing and testing a model explaining the effects of various types of electronic customer relationship management (eCRM) functions on customer satisfaction in the context of online shopping. A framework based on the transaction cycle is used to classify eCRM functions into pre-, at-, and post-purchase eCRM. Two distinct temporal phases, i.e. attraction and retention, are identified. The results of a longitudinal survey involving 670 customers of hardware retailers demonstrate the appropriateness of the functional approach in investigating eCRM success and the necessity of the temporal conceptualisation of customer satisfaction. The theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed. Keywords: online customer satisfaction; electronic customer relationship management; information systems success

    Delone and McLean’s model designed mainly to study information system success for internal systems where system use is mandatory by employees or internal customers. E-commerce environment is a unique setting to study the Delone and McLean’s model of IS Success because the system itself is essential to the business, without it, there would not be any business-customer interaction. Also, the system is not internal to the organization; in its primary use, it faces the customer, not organizational employees’ means that e-commerce use is mainly volitional.

    This study examines the dimensions of web service quality based on e-customer’s, expectations and perceptions. We develop operationalized web service quality constructs, and analyze, their relationships with customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions in an e-business environment. The three identified dimensions of web service quality are perceived risk, web content and service, convenience. One of the major findings of this study is that although less perceived risk may lead to a favorable perception of web service quality, it does not necessarily translate to customer satisfaction, or positive behavioral intentions. Individual PC skill sets may affect perception of service convenience, but seems to have no influence on how customers assess web service quality, customer satisfaction or, behavioral intentions to use the e-service. The indirect or mediating influence of satisfaction on web, service quality and behavioral intentions is indeed stronger than the direct influence of web service, quality on behavioral intentions. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
