Abstract: Retaining consumers is critical for multi-channel retailers. This study identifies the factors that influence consumer repurchase intention in an online-cum-mobile retail context by focusing on the impacts of channel integration on consumer self-regulatory processes. The research model was empirically tested on the data collected from 317 consumers of a famous e-retailer in China. The results indicate that channel integration has strong and positive effects on service quality perceptions in both online and mobile environments, which further influence transaction-specific satisfaction and cumulative satisfaction. In addition, transaction-specific satisfaction has a positive influence on cumulative satisfaction, and both of them in turn positively affect repurchase intention. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
