Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and test a model of the uncertainties and benefits influencing the repurchase intentions of buyers in cross-border e-commerce (CBEC). Design/methodology/approach The authors draw on the valence framework to hypothesize effects of positive valences (utilitarian benefits) along with negative valences (pre- and post-contractual uncertainties) on buyers’ repeat purchase intentions. Data were collected using an online survey from 378 international B2C buyers on a CBEC platform in China. Findings Results explain 51.4 percent of the variance and reveal that overall value, as determined by monetary saving, convenience and product offerings as positive valences, exerts the strongest effect on repeat purchase intention. However, negative valences remain significant, and are particularly salient for female shoppers. Research limitations/implications The authors extend the valence theory into the study of repeat purchase behavior and contribute to much needed literature on why consumers return to repurchase from a CBEC platform. Practical implications Repeat purchase and loyalty of online consumers is essential for success of e-commerce providers. The results help online providers competing in international markets understand how buyers form repurchase intentions based on their evaluations of both value and uncertainty. Originality/value Buyer behavior in CBEC has received relatively less attention than domestic e-commerce. This paper is among the first to examine how both positive and negative valences combine to effect repurchase intention of international buyers in CBEC.

Although relatively under-researched, behavioral influence strategies commonly are used by marketers to modify consumer demand. Reported here are the results of a field experiment which tested the effectiveness of trial and incentive behavioral influence strategies. The efficacy of using self-perception theory to explain and predict behavior is assessed.

Previously, scholars have studied behavioral and attitudinal brand loyalties separately by. Brand loyalty was first studied with behavior as one dimension in the brand loyalty structure, which predominantly measures brand loyalty by repeat purchase. However, the stochastic paradigm that views behavior as a single dimension cannot explain the motivation for consistent repeat purchase behavior. Subsequently, the stochastic paradigm was replaced with a deterministic paradigm that views attitude as a single dimension of brand loyalty. Since brand loyalty is a psychological abstraction in nature, scholars viewed that a combined approach of behavior and attitude is more appropriate to address the issue of brand loyalty. This paper proposes a Tripartite Model of Attitude to explain the dimensions and determinants of brand loyalty by combining behavioral loyalty and attitudinal loyalty in one framework.

Various studies support how satisfied customers become loyal customers by investigating attitudes and behavior, while fewer studies have examined links among dissatisfaction, complaints, and loyalty, particularly in the virtualized environment. By applying justice dimension, the purpose of this study is to explore i) how different types of justice affect customer dissatisfaction; ii) how the level of customer dissatisfaction affects willingness to complain/complaining behavior; iii) how willingness to complain/complaining behavior affects repeat purchase behavior based on how complaints are resolved by a company; and iv) how repeat purchase behavior affects loyalty. Proposed relationships are investigated with effects of advanced services (i.e., 2Is, Interactivity and Individualization) and product category that are applied in the virtualized environment. By applying various statistical analyses, this study provides managerial and theoretical implications and offers suggestions to e-businesses.
