Intelligent Customer Service (ICS) overload in pharmaceutical e-commerce increases user emotional stress and avoidance. Reducing cognitive burdens through better ICS design is crucial for user experience and loyalty.
Area of Science:
- E-commerce technology
- Human-computer interaction
- Psychological sciences
Background:
- Intelligent Customer Service (ICS) implementation in pharmaceutical e-commerce is under-explored.
- Understanding psychological factors is key to user acceptance and service efficiency.
- Technology acceptance research needs expansion into high-risk environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the impact of ICS on user behavior in pharmaceutical e-commerce.
- To analyze the psychological factors influencing user acceptance and avoidance of ICS.
- To identify strategies for enhancing ICS user experience and loyalty.
Main Methods:
- Survey data from 418 participants.
- Statistical analysis using SPSS for normality tests.
- Structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS.
Main Results:
- System, information, and service overload significantly increase user emotional stress.
- Emotional stress is a key mediator driving user avoidance behavior.
- Overload factors explained 45.0% to 58.6% of the variance in avoidance behavior.
Conclusions:
- Pharmaceutical e-commerce firms must optimize ICS design to minimize user cognitive load and emotional stress.
- Leveraging big data and feedback mechanisms can improve user experience and foster loyalty.
- Future research should explore demographic variations and employ qualitative methods for deeper insights.
