Os antecedentes da satisfação do consumidor em compras online e a sua relação com a intenção de reclamar

Abstract

With a differentiated approach to physical stores, online stores attract more consumers and, unlike the low sales growth in traditional commerce, they come increasing your earnings. According to the Brazilian Chamber of Electronic Commerce (2013), in 2013, online sales in Brazil exceeded R$28 billion and grew by 25%. In the United States, it is estimated that online sales should grow between 8% to 10% per year (Wu, 2013). With sales growth, increase the numbers of complaints and problems that consumers face in online shopping, and to improve a service it is necessary to listen to customer complaints (HOLLOWAY, WANG E PARISH, 2005). According Breazeale (2009), research shows that acquiring a new customer is five to eight times more expensive than keeping an existing one, this provides motivation to understand the complaint intentions in online shopping. Thus, came the need to study what are the antecedents of customer satisfaction in online shopping and its relationship with the intention of complaining. This study aimed to examine the relationship of antecedents constructs: Distributive Justice, Procedural Justice, Interactional Justice, Confirmation of Expectations, Perceived Usefulness and Trust in the Satisfaction. As well, we analyzed the impact of Satisfaction on Intention to Complain mediated by Prior Shopping Experience and Perceived Responsiveness. Was developed a descriptive, causal and quantitative approach through an online survey adapted Wu's study (2013) and applied to university professors from all over Brazil. After the model is validated satisfactorily, it was confirmed that the interactional justice, the Expectation Confirmation, the Perceived Usefulness and Trust impact on satisfaction. It was also observed that the Confirmation of Expectations impacts the Perceived Usefulness. The moderating effect of Perceived Responsiveness was partially confirmed. Despite the limitations, it is considered that the study brought academic contributions, as a validation of the model operated by Wu in Taiwan in 2013 for the Brazilian context that might serve as a basis for further research, and managerial contributions as a greater understanding of consumer behavior in online shopping, because the results can be used in practice within the business environment.
