The theoretical model of e-service quality (E-SQ) is presented. In other words, the current research intends to confirm and investigate whether the idea of E-service quality (E-SQ) as a theoretical model can be established and maintained. In other words, the current research intends to confirm and investigate whether the idea of E-SQ is associated with increased user satisfaction and good behavioural intentions. When it comes to E-SQ, Zeithaml and colleagues (2000, p. 11) define it this way: it is “the degree to which a website supports efficient and successful online shopping, purchase, and delivery of items or services. On top of that, according to Santos (2003, p. 235), E-SQ is defined as “consumers’ overall assessments of and judgements of the excellence and quality of e-service offers in the virtual marketplace.” Specifically, the current research seeks to determine the E-SQ of academic databases available via Jordanian academic institutions, as well as the impact of this evaluation on users’ behavioural intentions. In order to accomplish this, the current study aims to accomplish the following objectives: (1) to assess end users’ perceptions of E-SQ of online academic databases from a Jordanian perspective; (2) to examine the impact of E-SQ of online academic databases on end users’ satisfaction in the Jordanian setting; (3) to investigate the impact of the E-SQ of online academic databases on the end users’ behavioural intentions in the Jordanian setting; and (4) to determine whether end-users perceive E-SQ of online academic databases
The notion of service quality refers to the use of services to achieve organizational goals, the provision of acceptable services at the proper time and location, and the provision of appropriate services on the first request. In 2012, two researchers published a paper titled Dehdashti and Mobarhan (2012). E-service: According to Skoupula, e-services are a subset of e-commerce services that have arisen as a result of network technology. As Delvon and Maclin point out, the use of the Internet to enable, execute, and process each phase of the services, including awareness, transactional engagement, and dissemination, constitutes e-service. Denis (2011) defines a formalized formalized formalized formalized formalized formalized formalized formalized formalized formalized formalized (Denis, 2011) In general, since e-services are accessible at any time and from any location, delivering better service to companies and people will be accomplished via the usage of e-services. (Sevimandenton and colleagues, 2006)
Quality of e-services: E-service quality, according to Zeithaml et al. (2003), is a foundation that allows for the successful and efficient acquisition, sale, and delivery of products and services via the use of a website. (Zitamel and colleagues, 2003) Customer: In Persian literature and culture, the term “Customer” is identical to the word “Buyer,” and when it comes to marketing and sales, the customer is referred to as “audience,” which refers to those who have the capacity and the skill to acquire products or services. When it comes to this term, “Ability” is defined as the ability to pay, and “Talent” is defined as the sense of understanding and recognizing a product or service that fits some portion of the audience’s demands. As a result, when the ability and skill aspects coincide concurrently in him in order to complete the “Purchase,” the audience will convert into a client. Esmaeilpour (2005) defined formalized formalized formalized (Esmaeilpour, 2005).
One of the most important factors in surviving in a fiercely competitive e-environment is to develop a strategy that emphasizes services. For a business to be successful, it must provide excellent customer service experiences that encourage consumers to repurchase and stay with the company (Gounaris et al., 2010). Excellent service quality is required to achieve high levels of customer satisfaction, which in turn often results in beneficial behavioural intentions on the part of customers (Brady and Robertson, 2001). An e-commerce website with high system quality, information quality, and electronic service quality is critical to the organization’s success (Sharma and Lijuan, 2015). The notion of e-service quality has been examined extensively by a large number of scholars. While the elements of e-service quality have a considerable relationship with total e-service quality, customer happiness, and repurchase intentions, they have no relationship with word-of-mouth (Blut et al., 2015). In another study, Tsao et al. (2016) investigated the impact of e-service quality on online loyalty based on an online shopping experience in Taiwan. They discovered that system quality and electronic service quality both had significant effects on perceived value, which in turn had a significant influence on online loyalty in turn. Furthermore, Gounaris et al. (2010) discovered that the quality of e-services had a beneficial influence on three consumer behaviour intents: purchase intentions, site revisit, and word-of-mouth (WOM).
The poor quality of service delivery via the internet (Ahmad, 2002; Cox & Dale, 2002), as well as the necessity to alter prior e-SQ measures, such as SERVQUAL, to better fit the context of a web-based service, have been emphasized in earlier studies (Ahmad, 2002; Cox & Dale, 2002). (Li, Tan, & Xie, 2002). To better understand how consumers perceive and evaluate services (Zeithaml, Parasuraman, and Malhotra, 2002), it is vital to design a strategy centred on giving customers high-quality e-SQ (Zeithaml, Parasuraman, and Malhotra, 2002). Customers would be happy with the service if such a plan were followed, and their loyalty would be gained, just as it is with conventional services (Reichheld & Schefter, 2000).
Customers’ perceptions of the quality of e-services and the degree of contact with bank representatives at Bank Melli branches in South Tehran City were examined. Because the path coefficient is 0.75 and the t-statistic is 9.76, it can be concluded that, at a 99 per cent confidence level, the quality of e-service has a statistically significant and positive effect on the level of communication with customers of Bank Melli branches in the southern part of the capital. In 2002, Loiacono and colleagues established the WebQualTMscale to assess the quality of websites that offer books, music, airline tickets, and hotel bookings. These are the qualities of WebQualTM: informational it to the task; interactivity; trust; reaction speed; simplicity of understanding; intuitive operations; visual appeal; innovativeness; flow (emotional appeal); consistency of image; online completeness; and superior to alternative channels and methods. According to the findings of the study, researchers now have a verified and accurate measure of website quality. It also contributes to the understanding of TAM by highlighting the components of usability and utility that are there. Later, Barnes&Vidgen (2002) developed a new e-service quality evaluation system called WebQual, which was centred on the significance of easy-to-use websites at the time of its introduction. The WebQual assessment is comprised of five attributes: user-friendliness, design, information, trust, and empathy, to name a few examples. The measurement has undergone various transformations, culminating in WebQual 4.
