Additionally, men are driven mainly by perceived control and service convenience when establishing swift guanxi, whereas women care more about customer service.Originality/valueOnline service quality is the key factor underlying customer repurchase intention. In addition, gender differences exist in many aspects of online shopping including information processing, perceived service, and perceived risk.
