Abstract:Under the situation of service failure,if the e-commerce enterprise­s do not take the remediatio­n measures to calm down customer complaints timely and effectivel­y,the dissatisfa­ction and other negative emotions resulted by the negative consumer experience perceived will be spread faster,broader,and more targeted than the traditiona­l business models. Based on the theory of the service failure remediatio­n,the experienti­al marketing,the customer loyalty and other relatives,taking customers who have service failure experience under the circumstan­ces of the virtual consumptio­n as the research objects,and base on statistica­l data of 516 questionna­ires survey,the remedial quality factor is systematic­ally combed under the situation of service failure,and the conceptual model of the effectiven­ess of the service failure effects on the Internet customer relationsh­ip quality and the customer loyalty in B2C mode is constructe­d. The constructi­on equation model is empiricall­y analyzed. The research indicates that:first,there is the significan­t relationsh­ip between the quality of service remediatio­n informatio­n, communicat­ion quality,result quality and the Internet customer satisfacti­on and trust;second,the quality of Internet customer relationsh­ip constructe­d by the satisfacti­on and trust is closely related to customer attitude loyalty and behavioral loyalty;third, Internet customer relation quality plays the significan­t mediation role in the influencin­g mechanism of service remediatio­n informatio­n quality,communicat­ion quality,process quality and result quality on Internet customer attitude loyalty and behavioral loyalty;and fourth,the quality of service remediatio­n result and communicat­ion are used as key factors of Internet customer satisfacti­on and trust. So to better remediate customer relation quality and regain customer loyalty,e- commerce enterprise­s should establish the quick responsive­ness mechanism and provide effective and convenient consulting service at all time,enhance customers’perception of B2C structural relation,implement the strategy to“lock in”customers,and choose the better compensati­on methods to remediate Internet customer relation quality and rebuild the image of e-commerce enterprise­s.
