The driving factors of continuance online shopping: Gender differences in behaviour the case of Saudi Arabia
This study proposes a revised technology acceptance model that integrates expectation confirmation
theory to measure gender differences with regard to continuance online shopping intentions in Saudi
Arabia. The 465-respondent sample consists of 68.8% women and 31.4% men. A structural equation
model confirms model fit.
Perceived usefulness, enjoyment, and subjective norms are determinants of online shopping
continuance in Saudi Arabia. Both male and female groups are equivalent. The structural weights are
also largely equivalent, but the regression paths from perceived usefulness to subjective norms and to
continuous intention are not invariant between men and women.
The model was operationally generalized across the whole of Saudi Arabia. This research moves
beyond online shopping intentions and includes factors affecting online shopping continuance. The
research model explains 65% of the intention to continue shopping online.
This research suggests that online strategies cannot ignore either the direct and indirect gender
differences on continuance intentions in Saudi Arabia. The model can be generalized across Saudi
Arabia

The driving factors of continuance online shopping: Gender differences in behaviour among students in Saudi Arabia
This study proposes a revised technology acceptance model that integrates expectation confirmation theory to measure student gender differences with regard to continuance online shopping intentions in Saudi Arabia. The 234-respondent sample consists of 61.5% women and 38.5% men. A structural equation model confirms model fit.
Perceived usefulness, enjoyment, and subjective norms are determinants of online shopping continuance in Saudi Arabia. Both male and female groups are equivalent. The structural weights are also largely equivalent, but the regression paths from subjective norms to enjoyment and subjective norms to continuance intention (in the men sample) and perceived usefulness to continuous intention (in the women sample) are not supported.
The model was operationally generalized across the whole of Saudi Arabia. This research moves beyond online shopping intentions and includes factors affecting online shopping continuance. The research model explains 71% of the intention to continue shopping online.
This research suggests that online strategies cannot ignore either the direct or indirect gender differences on continuance intentions in Saudi Arabia. The model can be generalized across Saudi Arabia

The factors driving online shopping in Saudi Arabia: Regional and behavioral differences among women
This study proposes a revised technology acceptance model that integrates expectation confirmation theory to measure regional differences with regard to continuance online shopping intentions in Saudi Arabia. The sample consists of 650 female respondents. A structural equation model confirms model fit. Perceived usefulness, enjoyment, and subjective norms are determinants of online shopping continuance in Saudi Arabia. Women in the eastern, western, and central region groups are equivalent. The structural weights are also largely equivalent, but the regression path from perceived usefulness to enjoyment is not invariant between female shoppers in the eastern and western regions or in the eastern and central regions. This research moves beyond online shopping intentions and includes factors affecting online shopping continuance. The research model explains 60% of the intention to continue shopping online. Furthermore, this research suggests that online strategies cannot ignore the influence of either direct or indirect regional differences on continuance intentions; the model can be generalized across Saudi Arabia

Customer experience: conceptualization, measurement, and application in omnichannel environments
Managing customer experiences has become a key strategic priority for service research and management. Yet researchers and managers lack a customer experience (CX) measure that applies to the different experience partners, touchpoints, and journey stages in the omnichannel environments of todayâs service industries. Without such a common measure, empirical research on CX remains fragmented, and service companies continue to struggle to improve customer interactions in customer journeys. To address this shortcoming, this article proposes an omnichannel-capable measurement of CX that applies to different customer interactions in the omnichannel environment. With seven studies, the authors develop and validate a six-dimensional, 18-item CX scale. The proposed CX scale overcomes the fragmentation of existing scales in service research and provides a valid measure that can be used consistently for various customer interactions in omnichannel environments. This article details how the proposed CX scale can monitor and compare CX for different interactions in customer journeys (i.e., pain-point analysis), as well as improve CX features and their marketing outcomes (i.e., CX profiling). By overcoming the existing fragmentation in available scales and providing a common omnichannel CX measure, this CX scale establishes an empirical foundation for developing CX knowledge and advancing related service research

e-Consumer Behaviour
Purpose â The primary purpose of this article is to bring together apparently disparate and yet
interconnected strands of research and present an integrated model of e-consumer behaviour. It
has a secondary objective of stimulating more research in areas identified as still being underexplored.
Design/methodology/approach â The paper is discursive, based on analysis and synthesis of econsumer
literature.
Findings â Despite a broad spectrum of disciplines that investigate e-consumer behaviour and
despite this special issue in the area of marketing, there are still areas open for research into econsumer
behaviour in marketing, for example the role of image, trust and e-interactivity. The
paper develops a model to explain e-consumer behaviour.
Research limitations/implications â As a conceptual paper, this study is limited to literature and
prior empirical research. It offers the benefit of new research directions for e-retailers in
understanding and satisfying e-consumers. The paper provides researchers with a proposed
integrated model of e-consumer behaviour.
Originality/value â The value of the paper lies in linking a significant body of literature within a
unifying theoretical framework and the identification of under-researched areas of e-consumer
behaviour in a marketing context
The Relationship between Traditional and Electronic Word of Mouth and Customer Experience Quality in the Appliance Industry in South Africa
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management
Johannesburg, 2017Interest in word of mouth (WOM) communication to promote and generate curiosity in products and brands has existed for many years, given that WOM is more influential on consumer behaviour than other marketer-controlled sources. Additionally, consumers are now demanding more than just a competent product offering, but rather seeking an experience around what they are purchasing. The current study explores the relationship between traditional and electronic word of mouth pre- and post-purchase and customer experience quality in the major domestic appliance industry in South Africa. The findings, from a survey of 144 respondents, indicate that consumers are actively engaged in seeking out all forms of WOM pre-purchase, and in providing all forms of WOM post-purchase. In addition, respondents are highly satisfied with the quality of the experience they have with their brand of appliance purchased, but that this alone does not account for why they engage in post-purchase WOMGR201
