Top1. Introduction
While the Internet is becoming more popular and ubiquitous (Zhang et al., 2012, Castro et al., 2013), with its emergence, E-Commerce brought about an enormous trend of broad growth with a faster speed over all countries beyond the borders (Wu, 2013, Daliri et al., 2014). E-Commerce is assumed to decrease the time, energy, and monetary costs alongside the psychological transaction costs that customers are required to pay for the consumer’s journey in online retailing (Tseng et al., 2015; Prashar et al., 2015; Kim, 2015). Technically, E-Commerce adoption plays a noteworthy part, since it will give the customers the opportunity of looking for the needed products and receiving the personalized product recommendations. It also enables them to evaluate as well as to order products via a medium that is online (Chircu and Mahajan, 2006). According to a previous study by Murphy and Tocher (2011), abundant opportunities have been rising for businesses to expand their scope, including online game (Hildebrand and Majchrzak, 2014), but online retailing has also been going through some notable impediments. Thus, emotive and cognitive origins in performing online transactions emerged.
Moreover, businesses’ survival is highly dependent on the shopping experiences of customers, especially in today’s world with such an economical and competitive retail environment (Grewal et al., 2009). Accordingly, increasing portability will assist in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage in online retail via main keys such as creating customer retention and immersive satisfaction. They both should be targeted for the sake of online retail (Valvi and Fragkos, 2012). Concurrently, considering a customer ‘s shopping experience, the duration of each customers’ initial experience with the organization will play a role on the degree of a relationship between the time that was consumed and the immersive satisfaction levels they get from that experience (Bolton, 1998, Daliri et al., 2014). The loyal customers, in the context of E-commerce, are regarded as extremely valuable to the survival and performance of a corporation (Dina et al., 2004; Yeo, Goh, and Rezaei, 2017) . On the contrary, taking two solely determinants of rational (cognitive perceptions as an instance) and irrational (emotional responses as an instance) into account will not explain a variety of meaningful concepts. As an instance, Westbrook and Black, 1985 state that the anticipated utility, which can be considered as a hedonic state, can steer the motivation for shopping when it creates the expectation of gaining a valuable entity. Similarly, customers’ preferences might depend on product characteristics (Pauwels et al., 2011, Rezaei and Amin, 2013, Rezaei and Ismail, 2014) and possess various edges depending on their backgrounds and characteristics and researches advocate the fact that customer satisfaction is a mixture of utilitarian as well as hedonic shopping values. As an outcome, when customers are shopping, they look for pleasure and experience. Hence, the dual-process framework is considered as an ideal notion regarding modeling the consumer purchases.
