        The rapid expansion of information and communication technologies in daily business activities is the most important long-term trend in the business world. Accordingly, large growth potential is forecasted especially for the provision of products and services via the Internet. If and how this potential can be exploited depends largely on an Internet retailer’s ability to meet customers’ expectations in the virtual shopping environment. Evidence exists that service quality delivery through websites is an essential strategy to success. To deliver superior service quality, managers of companies with web presences must first understand how customers perceive and evaluate online customer service. The goal of this article is to evaluate the role of e-service quality, overall service quality, and customer satisfaction on Iranian consumers’ purchase intentions regarding online shopping. Data from a survey of 229 online consumers were used to test the research model. The results show that responsiveness and security/privacy affect overall service quality and customer satisfaction. Site aesthetics has a direct impact on overall service quality, but assurance/trust, reliability and personalization were not significantly related to overall service quality or customer satisfaction. The results also indicate that overall service quality has a direct and positive impact on customer satisfaction and that customer satisfaction has a direct impact on consumers’ purchase intentions.

        In this investigation, some of the variables effective on the productivity ofcustomer-contact employees affecting customer perception of perceived servicequality as well as the relations among the responses have been tested in the formof a conceptual model. In other words, the role of three major personalcharacteristics of employees ( self-efficacy, adaptability and job satisfaction), asa bridge between the employee's job characteristics (role conflict and roleambiguity) and customer perceived service quality have been investigated.Inorder to collect data through using census, the relevant questionnaires weredistributed among the members of the first statistical population ( the employeesof private banks in Khuzestan Province totaling 94 people). In this way, 94customer questionnaires were specialized to the banks by stratified sampling ;then, the bank questionnaires were distributed among their customers by randomsampling .The results of the structural equations analysis indicated that with dueattention to obtained goodness of fit index, the supposed model has been welldesigned.With due attention to the coefficients obtained from the model test, the12 suggested hypotheses can be accepted or rejected. As predicted, employee'sself-efficacy and job satisfaction have a positive structural effect on customerperceived service quality. Employee's self-efficacy positively affects employee'sadaptability with the customer. Contrary to all expectations, the results indicatedthat employee's adaptability negatively influences customer perceived servicequality. And as predicted, it was proved that the employee’s role conflict androle ambiguity have a negative structural effect on employee's adaptability andself-efficacy. Also, employee's role conflict positively affects employee’s roleambiguity. Finally, the results indicated that employee’s role ambiguity has alimited positive effect on employee's job satisfaction. It is worthy of mentionthat because the relevant coefficients were too small, it is difficult to make acomment on employee's role conflict and self efficacy effects on jobsatisfaction Manuscript profile
