Abstract

The detrimental effects of COVID-19 on all facets of the social-economic system have resulted in the retail sector moving away from conventional methods of purchasing and toward online shopping. The highly advanced technologies of the internet in this era are amazing. Due to the intense competition in the online retailing environment, it is critical for online merchants to discover the aspects that influence their customers’ satisfaction with their purchases. As such, this study investigated the relationships between factors that drive customer satisfaction in online shopping within the context of Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected from 302 respondents between October 2020 and January 2021. In this study, two statistical analysis techniques were used for data analysis and testing of hypothesis, namely, Statistic Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25 and Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling. As a result, tangibility, responsiveness, assurance and empathy displayed a significant and positive influence on customer satisfaction for online shopping. This research has important implications for online business owners to improve their services, eventually leading to continuous customer satisfaction. Having that said, this study sheds new light on platform serviceability within the e-commerce industry.
