Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of price sensitivity, perceived variety abundance, and electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) on consumer switching behavior in e-commerce platforms, with consumer trust in alternatives as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach with an explanatory design was used to analyze data from 300 active e-commerce user respondents in the North Kalimantan border region. Data processing was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques based on Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results of the analysis show that all exogenous variables have a significant influence on switching behavior, both directly and indirectly through consumer trust. Price sensitivity has the largest total influence on switching, followed by perceived variety abundance and eWOM. This study contributes to strengthening the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) theory in the context of digital consumer behavior, specifically by positioning trust as a psychological mechanism that bridges the influence of the digital environment on switching decisions. These findings also have practical implications for e-commerce managers in designing pricing strategies, presenting product variations, and managing online reviews to build trust in alternative products and manage consumer loyalty more effectively in the era of high digital competition.

Abstract

The increasingly competitive landscape of the service industry compels companies to continuously enhance their service quality in order to meet consumer expectations. This endeavor is crucial to prevent consumers from switching to other service providers. Driven by this urgency, this study aims to analyze the significant differences between the service quality and the level of consumer satisfaction among users of Grab and Maxim services in Tarakan City. This research employs a comparative approach, utilizing a survey method for data collection involving 200 respondents, consisting of 100 Grab users and 100 Maxim users. Data analysis was conducted using an Independent Sample T-test with the assistance of SPSS software version 25. The study was carried out from February to September 2025. The analysis results indicate that Grab's service quality has a higher mean score compared to Maxim. Meanwhile, the consumer satisfaction levels for both Grab and Maxim users are relatively similar. Based on the hypothesis testing results, a significant difference was found in the service quality between the two services; however, no significant difference was detected in the level of consumer satisfaction.
