Abstract

It is significant to discover the impact of service recovery on the customer perceived justice and customer loyalty for the electronic commerce service firms under the network environment. Using factor analysis and regression analysis, this paper conducts an empirical analysis on the relationship between online service recovery and customer loyalty, and a model is built to analyze this relationship on the basis of the justice theory. The study proves that service recovery includes five dimensions: explanation, communication, system, feedback and compensation in e-commerce. Service recovery has important influence on customer perceived justice and customer loyalty.
