Abstract

The present study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of data collection. It investigated the mediating role of enjoyable experience and e-satisfaction in the relationship between the e-services quality and the intention to repurchase electronic sports products. The statistical population of the study includes buyers of sports products from Majid website and their information was in the customer relationship management system of the company that the research tool was distributed among them (N = 635). Also, the sample size was determined according to the purpose and using PASS statistical software at an error level of 0.05, in the range of 198 to 216 people.  Descriptive and inferential statistics techniques and Smart PLS and SPSS software were used for data analysis. The measuring instruments of the present study were the standard e-service quality questionnaire of Parasoramon et al. (2005), the Oliver e-satisfaction questionnaire (2007), the electronic repurchase intention questionnaire of Cronin et al. (2000) and the enjoyable electronic experience questionnaire of Hsu et al. (2017).  The results showed that the quality of electronic services (P <0.01, β = 0.318), enjoyable electronic experience (P <0.01, β = 0.340) and electronic satisfaction (P <0.05, β0/150) have impact on repurchase electronic sports products. Also, the indirect beta coefficient of e-service quality on repurchase intention shows that satisfaction and enjoyable e-experience play a mediating role in the relationship between e-service quality and purchase intention.
