Technology Fears: A Study of e-Commerce Loyalty Perception by Jordanian Customers

The Internet and all other types of networks have changed life in general and doing business in particular, and as a result, many companies are now conducting and transferring their businesses online. In this paper, the authors evaluate whether loyalty issues are the major obstacles to the growth of e-commerce in Jordan. A survey conducted for the study reveals that technology fears are major barriers to loyalty in Internet banking and e-commerce activities among consumers. The results suggest that unless the technology fears of adopters are acknowledged, some of them are not successful. DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-0044-7.ch010
