ABSTRACT

This study investigates the impact of post-use E-service quality on consumer trust in online platform environments, providing an integrated analysis of the mediating effects of brand image and customer experience along with the moderating effects of income and usage frequency. To this end, a survey was conducted with 300 platform users, and an empirical analysis was performed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results demonstrate that responsiveness and contact are critical antecedents that enhance brand image and customer experience, ultimately driving consumer trust, whereas compensation was found to have only a limited effect on customer experience. Furthermore, brand image and customer experience were proven to be powerful mediators linking quality perception to trust formation, while income level and usage frequency significantly moderated each respective path. These findings suggest that platform companies should prioritize responsiveness and contact-oriented brand management over short-term compensation, while implementing segmented trust-building strategies that account for customers' economic conditions and usage proficiency.
