Abstract

This paper identifies the relative influence of website qualities on micro and small scale industrial website usage intensity. In this paper, authors have developed an instrument which captures the expected attributes of website quality from the medium and large scale industries perspective. The 23-item instrument measures four qualities of website named (SITEQUAL): system quality (SYQ), information quality (IQ), e-service quality (ESQ) and attractiveness (AT). Data collected from 378 medium and large industries are used to test the research model. Using SPSS, a factor analysis is performed for reduction of data and AMOS is used to test the proposed model. This paper identifies the impact of the factors like system quality, information quality, e-service quality and attractiveness on the industrial website usage intensity. E-service quality has been founded as the dominant attribute among these industrial website qualities. Guidelines for marketing managers and web designers in respect to industrial website designing are proposed.
