Zusammenfassung: | The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of e-quality services on consumer satisfaction and loyalty in Nigeria. A cross-sectional research design was adopted using a well-structured questionnaire to elicit information for 408 postgraduate students currently studying in Nigerian universities. The research instrument was validated, while data collected were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for hypotheses testing. The result revealed a statistically significant positive relationship among consumer satisfaction, loyalty, e-service quality and their dimensions while the findings established trust and satisfaction as prominent mediators for online purchases. This research contributes to the study of online shopping and e-loyalty by developing a model on the construct within the e-commerce context and suggesting possible factors that may influence quality service decisions. |
