Abstract

This study seeks to objectively investigate the factors influencing Lazada Indonesia's customer loyalty in the country's rapidly expanding e commerce sector. Despite having spent lots of money and investment, Lazada Indonesia was still not the top e-commerce platform in Indonesia, falling behind Tokopedia and Shopee. Thus, the links between brand image, perceived value, customer satisfaction, customer engagement, and e-service quality are investigated and discussed. This study uses a non-probability sampling through convenience sampling technique with 148 respondents collected, while the validity and reliability confirmation process are using the PLS SEM method. Likert scale will also be used within this study. The result is that the path coefficient of most marketing constructs remains significant while the outliers are from brand image towards customer satisfaction, brand image towards customer loyalty, customer satisfaction towards customer loyalty, e-service quality towards brand image, e-service quality towards customer loyalty, and perceived value towards customer satisfaction. For the mediation analysis, this research resulted in complementary mediations, full mediations, and no mediations. The result of this study confirmed that there is a significant effect of several marketing constructs. This research also finds an inverse relation finding means an increase in customer engagement when customer satisfaction is low.Keywords: E-service quality, Customer satisfaction, Customer engagement, Customer loyalty, Perceived value, Brand image.

Abstract

The tighter competition across the fast fashion industries has gathered more attention towards customer loyalty as it could increase profitability for the company. Furthermore, gaining customer loyalty could be obtained through online and offline service quality offered by the company. In addition, many previous studies have shown that customer satisfaction could mediate the relationship between offline service quality and customer loyalty. Thus, the researchers now would like to add another rising popularity variable called online service quality, which ended up with the research of finding the mediation effect of customer satisfaction between online and offline service quality with customer loyalty. The study was conducted for Uniqlo Indonesia customers, and questionnaires were spread through the social media platform to collect data for analysis. Continued with the PLS-SEM method, which was used to assess 56 out of 78 respondents who were eligible to give results for the research. The analysis showed a full positive mediation of customer satisfaction between offline service quality and customer loyalty. On the other hand, online service quality and customer loyalty have direct-only non-mediation by customer satisfaction.  Keywords: Offline service quality, Online service quality, Customer satisfaction, Customer loyalty, Uniqlo Indonesia, Mediation.
