| Summary: | Many customers express high levels of intimidation when it comes to making on-line
purchases. This is when word-of-mouth comes into the picture. Word-of-mouth has
already demonstrated its significance in terms of driving business growth and
effectiveness. However, little research has sought to identify the actual effect of WOM.
Based on the existing stream of literature, this research aims to provide the insights into the
underpinning of word-of mouth affecting Muslim consumer behaviour. Specifically, it is trying
to determine the effect of word of mouth on trust and customers confidence. A total of
309 responses from questionnaire survey were collected from online Muslim customers
around Kuala Lumpur. Many new discoveries were made in the analysis. Firstly, is the
fact that in making online purchase, word-of-mouth plays a greater role in affecting
customer confidence as compared to trust. The division has also led to further
understanding of the effect of rapport and conflict handling towards relationship quality
and commitment. The finding is indeed beneficial for future service business growth and
development in the country. |
