The purpose of this research is to synthesize by means of a meta-analysis knowledge acquired to date on the impact of live chat service quality on customer behavioral intentions and relationship quality. An analysis of twenty-nine topical studies demonstrates that live chat capability unquestionably contributes to the formation of customer behavioral intentions, while enhancing customer relationship quality. The study also identifies those variables which exert a moderating effect on behavioral intentions and relationship quality (e.g., age, culture, product typology), and therefore sheds light on the conditions in which these services generate the most benefits. Based on the findings of the meta-analysis, the authors point to gaps in the literature, propose a varied choice of topics for future research by academics, and suggest an extensive lineup of tools and advice for managers.
