Today, all phases of consumers' buying process from pre-information search, evaluation of alternatives, order placing and post-purchase service are conducted in shopping apps installed in smartphones. A shopping app is omnipresent and is a powerful retail channel for retailers all over the world. However, the primary concern for many customers is that online shopping is not secure. This insecurity is more if customers have to purchase from an unfamiliar shopping app. Customers generally hesitate to purchase using unfamiliar shopping apps, unless they feel that the app is trustworthy. Based on the survey of 264 respondents, this study attempts to measure the impact of the quality of unfamiliar shopping apps on initial trust formation and subsequently, purchase intention. An attempt was also made to study the moderated mediation impact of risk attitude on the relationship between shopping app quality and initial trust formation. The findings of this paper may be of practical use for the online retailers by providing a better understanding of the adoption of unfamiliar shopping apps among prospective customers. It will also provide strategic inputs to online retailers to craft suitable strategies for the adoption of unfamiliar shopping apps.

The research was conducted by distributing questionnaires. Data analysis in this study includes: validity and reliability tests, simple linear regression, correlation coefficient, determination coefficient (R2) and hypothesis testing through t test. Hypothesis testing using the t test shows that the independent variable quality of service studied is proven to significantly affect the dependent variable consumer purchase interest with a p value of 0.000 less than 0.05 (0.000 <0.05). The Adjusted R Square is 0.251. This means that 25.1% of buying interest is influenced by service quality and the remaining 74.9% is caused by other factors not included in this study such as product quality, price, place and others.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the suitability of SERVQUAL for trade shows. Theobjective is to identify the significant SERVQUAL dimensions and their relative importance toincrease the purchase intention of visitors to a trade show. The study uses a survey of 400visitors to a big trade fair. Structural equation modelling was used to determine the relativeimportance of the dimensions. Results suggest that SERVQUAL is well suited for assessing theservice quality of trade shows. The tangibility and assurance are the two most significant factorsinfluencing the purchase intention of trade show visitors. Exhibitors should enhance tangibilityin trade shows by methods such as display of product or product prototypes, brochures, andscreens. Further, they should increase assurance by displaying medals and awards won, qualitycertifications achieved, testimonials of past satisfied consumers, and experienced salespeople atthe trade show counters. Trade show organisers should attract big brands for the exhibition toenhance assurance. The present study contributes to the ongoing debate on the relevance ofSERVQUAL in the trade show context. The study demonstrates that SERVQUAL is a decentmeasure to study service quality in trade shows even though the majority literature claimsotherwise.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to examine the interaction of tangibles, reliability, assurance, responsiveness and empathy dimensions of the service quality (SERVQUAL) and student satisfaction (SS), and second, to explore the mediating role of cross-functional collaboration (CFC) on these relationships.Design/methodology/approachThe structural equation modelling was used to examine the direct and mediated effect models using data collected through a survey of 352 students from 18 higher education institutes (HEIs) in Oman.FindingsThe statistical analysis confirms our main hypotheses. First, the centrality of tangibles, reliability, assurance, responsiveness and empathy dimensions of the service quality was established in the direct effect model, while the importance of tangibles and responsiveness was not confirmed in the mediated effect model. Second, it approved the partial mediation effect of CFC on the five dimensions of SERVQUAL and satisfaction.Research limitations/implicationsService quality, level of CFC and relative SS in higher education could be subjected to contextual verification and evaluation of these internal and external contextual factors should be considered.Practical implicationsSeveral implications are highlighted for the effective development of the service quality of student affairs departments (SADs), the development of CFC for effective management, development and deployment of various student affairs initiatives.Originality/valueThis paper satisfies the need to validate the SERVQUAL model in different contexts such as SADs, and the need to investigate the possible mediating effect of other factors on SERVQUAL dimensions and satisfaction to show how the latter can be achieved.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of quality service on the image and the reputation obtained in restaurants. We also analyze the effect that the business image has on the reputation of restaurants. Finally, we want to discover the mediation effect of the image between the quality service and the reputation of the restaurants. This research is based on a sample of 202 consumers of five restaurants (franchise type) in the city of Guaymas Sonora, Mexico. The data collection was conducted during the months of March to June 2016. The estimates of the relationships (hypothesis) have been tested through the System of Structural Equations based on the variance with the Partial Least Squares technique. The results show that quality in the service has a strong influence on the image of restaurants. In addition, we found that the image of the business significantly influences the reputation of restaurants. However, the service quality does not have significant effects on business reputation. We have also found that the business image is a variable that contributes to a greater significant effect between business reputation and service quality. Research contributes to the development of the literature on consumer behavior and service marketing.
