INTRODUCTION
E-commerce is a viable business model that many companies and retailers are
aiming for in today's digital technology world. E-commerce has become a familiar notion
in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic threat, particularly around 2020, has presented
opportunities as well as obstacles for global and Vietnamese e-commerce development. In
Vietnam, prominent e-commerce sites like Shopee, Lazada, Tiki, Sendo, etc. are among
them. Currently, Shopee (an e-commerce platform) is Southeast Asia's biggest e-commerce
platform as a result of a very clever branding approach. Shopee is used by tens of millions
of people each day for its easy, secure, efficient, and fun online buying experience. It offers
a wide range of products, supported by seamless fulfillment and integrated payments.
Shopee is committed to helping businesses and sellers thrive in e-commerce and is
incredibly specialized for each industry in which it works. The need for daily purchases is
growing, and so is consumer interest in product reviews. Therefore, the amount of customer
satisfaction with purchasing behavior and, more importantly, the experience that Shopee
offers to customers is more important than ever. In light of this, the topic "Factors Affecting
Customer Satisfaction With Shopee" was decided for this report.
To accomplish this, this report concentrates on four crucial elements based on the
chapters in the "Customer Service and Relations Management" course to assess how much
Shopee's customers are satisfied with these elements: (1) behaviors; (2) listening to
customers; (3) friendly web sites and electronic communication; and (4) getting feedback
from customers.
Besides the four previously mentioned ones, this report also identifies other factors
that influence how satisfied customers are with Shopee.
The following inquiries will serve as a guide for the report process in order to
accomplish the aforementioned goals:
This report is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the background,
objectives, report structure, and significance. Chapter 2 of the next portion is a review of
the literature. It covers definitions of "customer service management" and a theoretical
framework of the key aspects of Shopee that effect customer happiness, researched from
the course book's chapters. The methodology section of Chapter 3 includes a list of the
steps required to complete the report chronologically as well as the pertinent criteria for
data collection. Finding and discussing material in Chapter 4: This part summarizes and
examines the data that has been acquired on the elements that affect Shopee customer
happiness. The final chapter of the report, Conclusion and Recommendations, summarizes
the entire report, acknowledges its limitations, and makes some recommendations for
Shopee and upcoming pertinent studies.
Chapter 2:
LITERATURE REVIEW
A successful business has long been seen to depend heavily on its ability to satisfy
its customers. Fornell, Johnson, Anderson, Cha, and Bryant (1996) describe customer
satisfaction as an evaluation of the full buying and using encounter with a product or
service throughout time. According to Hennig-Thurau and Klee (1997), customer
satisfaction with a company's products and services is the most crucial factor influencing its
competitiveness and success. Customers evaluate ongoing performance based on customer
satisfaction (Gustafsson, Johnson, and Roos, 2005). Consumer satisfaction was described
by Kim, Park, and Jeong (2004) as the reaction of the consumer to the level of satisfaction
as well as their evaluation of the degree of satisfaction. According to Deng et al. (2009), the
ability of a service provider to achieve an excellent level of customer satisfaction is
essential for differentiated products and developing long-lasting connections with clients.
2.2.1. Behaviors
Of course, behavior is what people properly do. It is communicated to others both
verbally (using languages or words) and non-verbally (without using words). Without
exchanging words, personalities can still speak clearly and loudly. Two connected
personalities are likely to be encountered by each customer: the personality of the person
providing the service and the general personality of the company. The client experience and
satisfaction are also partially or indirectly impacted by both sorts of activities. For example,
if a business is a fun and pleasurable working place, its employees will make clients feel
comfortable and happy.
Individual employees' actions can send strong messages to clients, which can either
strengthen or weaken relationships. Employees frequently are at a great disadvantage since
they are unaware of how they are coming across. Even just being aware of these factors can
enhance customer service, but some employees are virtually unaware of how their actions
affect others. They greatly increase the chance of offending or at the very least failing to
impress clients. Applying action ideas for (1) creating contact with consumers, (2)
establishing rapport, (3) reassuring customers, and (4) presenting professionalism are
individual behaviors that can enhance customer service skills. Applying actionable advice
for employee appearance and grooming, workplace appearance, the quality and frequency
of correspondence with customers, and encouraging consumers to take a specific action
related to the purchase decision are organizational behavior patterns that reveal information
to customers about culture.
When we accurately identify the aspects that customers complain about or the areas
that require improvement, promptly responding to their concerns and demonstrating a
commitment to finding solutions will significantly contribute to building loyalty.
positively impacts their satisfaction, making the worker's healing process essential.
Furthermore, even if the staff's attempts don't produce a successful result, the act of
recovery can still enhance customers' appreciation (Mohr and Bitner 1995). Listening,
therefore, represents a deliberate endeavor aimed at enhancing customer service.
Web design, as one of a site's qualities that encourages the existence of an online
store, graphics or photographs must be made appealing so that shoppers who visit the
webpage will be interested in researching (Lohse & Spiller, 1998). Less attractive or poor
plan components might produce confusion and discourage consumers from making
purchases (Pastrick, 1997), stating that clients consider online purchasing as exciting and
gratifying when the website setup is correct, straightforward, and rapid route. Given the
site's efficiency and orderliness, customers can shop for less time without spending too
much mental effort. Data Quality is the dimension at which data has the characteristics of
the content of the frame and time used by customers (O'Briens 2005: 703).

METHODOLOGY
3.1.1. Shopee
Shopee is a well-known and reputable online retailer with operations across
Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia, and many more countries. Before
expanding internationally, the business was first introduced in Singapore in 2015 as a
marketplace where customers could browse, buy, and sell goods. Shopee is a platform with
a regional focus that gives clients a quick, safe, and easy way to shop online with excellent
payment security. This e-commerce company, a subsidiary of Sea Ltd., was founded by
Forrest Li Xiaodong. Shopee entered the Vietnamese e-commerce market in 2018, joining
Lazada, Tiki, and Sendo as one of the top four industry players.
3.1.2. Participants
Ninety-five people who have using Shopee participated in a survey to find out what
aspects of the Shopee will please them and how these aspects affect them. Individual
customers are the subject of this survey, so demographic data like gender, age, occupation,
and income are crucial. They are the ideal group of people to represent Shopee's customers'
true and truthful experiences.
3.2. Instruments
The survey is administered with Google Forms' assistance. Using Google Forms can
achieve all of these survey-related goals. In particular, Google Forms makes it simple to
create questionnaires, distribute them to respondents easily, manage surveys properly,
analyze data with charts and tables, and swiftly draw conclusions from the data.
other factors that are equally significant as the four main factors. Specifically, there are 14
important questions pertaining to the four factors listed above. Customers assess these
questions on a scale of 1 to 10 based on how satisfied they are with Shopee.
3.3 Procedure
This report was completed within four weeks. More specifically, the first week was
when this report was generated ideas, unified the themes and brands, and decided on the
key factors that affect client happiness. With a clear and specific division of work, Chapter
2: Literature Review of this report has been completed by reading the papers relating to the
report topic, researching the chapters in the course book, and synthesizing the findings.
The survey results were gathered throughout the third week. Chapter 4: Findings
and Discussions and Chapter 5: Conclusion and Recommendations were finished by going
over the survey, assessing the results, and offering Shopee advice.
The final week was used to check the report one last time, paying particular
attention to the summary, typos, paraphrasing, citing, and so on. Then this report was
turned over to our instructor.
This report was researched using a quantitative method. In order to clarify this, by
asking Net Promoter Score questions, respondents can rate the factors listed above on a
scale of 1 to 10, as opposed to the typical scale of 1 to 5. From here, the average value from
the survey data collection procedure is determined by calculating the Net Promoter Score,
and this variable correctly reflects Shopee customers' levels of satisfaction. This makes it
easier for the findings to be more impartial when assessing survey data.
Chapter 4:
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
4.1 Findings
Survey respondents ranged in age from 18 to 22 years old and were mostly
university students in Ho Chi Minh City. Therefore, the average income of the survey
subjects fluctuated below 2 million. Most of the subjects have been using or are using
Shopee with a rate of 97.9%.
In this report, all selected factors are behavior, listening, website, and receiving
feedback. However, in addition to the above factors, the data shows that customer
satisfaction is also influenced by price, product quality and providing information
sufficiently with a high rate of 83.9%, 63.4% and 63.4% respectively.
Based on the collected data, the number of customers who are truly satisfied with
Shopee's listening is only 23.7%. Most customers are only supported with the basic and
necessary information, and Shopee does not actually listen to their customer's suggestions.
According to report results, Shopee's application is convenient and easy to use, with
52.7% of users happy. Customers can follow the progress of transferring orders thanks to
the Shopee application's convenience and ease of use (55.9%). The high application
performance allows for faster searching and ordering on the application (43%), increasing
consumer satisfaction.
4.2 Discussions
The second factor is listening. The data shows that it is quite low. Customers do not
appreciate Shopee's patience and eager listening to their needs. Therefore, Shopee needs to
pay more attention and has effective measures to overcome this situation because listening
skills are essential to success in all relationships, including interactions with consumers.
The third factor is the application interface. The level of customer interest in factors
such as the interface on Shopee's application is beautiful, professional, easy to use,
convenient to track orders, and fast application speed. In particular, the results highlight
customer satisfaction in terms of order tracking convenience. Having a user-friendly
website is one of the most important aspects that influence customer purchasing decisions
and enhance customer satisfaction, and Shopee is doing a great job of this.
The last factor is getting customer feedback. Listening to and resolving customer
grievances is an essential strategy in cultivating customer satisfaction and loyalty. It is vital
to any form of innovation. However, customer feedback on this issue is not high. Their
dissatisfaction shows that Shopee does not really put the effort into solving and improving
customer problems. Aspects such as complaint recognition, and prompt and justified
handling are only average.
Finally, due to many shortcomings, the survey shows that Shopee should improve
more and be more aware of maximizing customer satisfaction when customers are willing
to continue using the service only 51.6% and to introduce relatives and friends to Shopee
only 49.4%.
Chapter 5:
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above survey data, the report focused on analyzing and making
objective judgments about the quality of Shopee. Next, we will make conclusions and
suggestions to improve customer satisfaction with service quality at the Shopee as follows:
The first factor is Shopee's behavior. Overall, the data shows that although the
attitude of the shipper is quite appreciated, Shopee is still not completely interested in the
customer experience. Mostly still buyers and sellers contact themselves. We suggest that
the Shopee call center should be improved in order to quickly resolve customer queries.
The second factor is listening. Shopee needs to have software on the marketplace to answer
questions or problems of customers to increase consumer satisfaction with the application.
In addition, there are additional support policies to make the exchange/return process on
Shopee easier and more convenient. The third factor is the application interface, and this is
also the most appreciated factor that is considered and appreciated in Shopee. Shopee has
also done a great job in this aspect for customers to trust. In the last factor, the level of
customer satisfaction is only quite average. Shopee needs to actively record customer
complaints in order to improve service quality and customer loyalty. There should be a
team dedicated to solving as well as minimizing customer problems such as fake goods,
fraud, or stolen information.
The most significant and reliable indicator of the level of service quality that
companies strive for is customer happiness. Different standards for service quality are used
in each industry to satisfy the expectations of customers for goods and services. Shopee is a
unique business unit and a bridge between individuals and businesses with product
consumers. Therefore, one of the crucial requirements is to improve Shopee's service
quality. The factors that we mention in this report show that customers' satisfaction with the
quality of service that Shopee is quite good. However, as previously indicated, there are
still several limits. Therefore, Shopee needs to pay close attention to the limiting issues that
we have discussed in order to increase consumer satisfaction with service quality.
