The influence of apparel e-commerce companies corporate social responsibility on customer spurious loyalty : the mediating role of perceived risks
Abstract:
Nowadays, the apparel industry e-commerce is developing rapidly; its corporate
social responsibility is an attractive and interesting topic because many researchers
found corporate social responsibility can affect consumer behavior. The researcher
found that in the apparel industry e-commerce, it is a challenge to ensure that customers
have real loyalty. The common point between spurious loyalty and real loyalty is that
they both include behavioral loyalty (habitual buying behavior), and the difference is
whether there is emotional loyalty. In this industry, the ability to generate consumer
loyalty is good for the development of apparel enterprises. The research aimed to find
the relationship between apparel e-commerce companies corporate social responsibility
and customer spurious loyalty and to understand the role of perceived risk as a mediating
variable.
The researcher distributed 800 questionnaires, collected 723 questionnaires and
obtained 652 valid questionnaires. After the analysis, the researcher found that some
variables of corporate social responsibility negatively affected the perceived risk;
corporate social responsibility positively affected customer spurious loyalty, while
perceived risk negatively affected customer spurious loyalty; perceived risk played a
partial mediating role between corporate social responsibility and spurious loyalty
