Abstract


This study aims to examine the effect of interaction quality, outcome quality and environmental quality on customer perceived value which is moderated by digital technology and ultimately affects consumer trust. The object of the company in this study is PT Pupuk Indonesia Tbk with the respondents being distributor companies, farmer groups or cooperatives that place orders for subsidized fertilizers produced by the company. The form of this research is quantitative research by distributing questionnaires to 200 respondents spread throughout Indonesia. Questionnaire data will be processed using Smart PLS. The results of this study indicate that digital technology has not been utilized by distributors and farmer groups so that the digital technology variable has no effect on customer perceived value. Including digital technology variable as a moderator does not have an impact on strengthening or weakening the relationship between interaction quality, outcome quality and environment quality variables on customer perceived value. Outcome quality and environment quality variables have a direct effect on customer perceived value and customer perceived value influences perceived trust.
