Abstract

Trust is mentioned as a key success factor for e-Commerce services. While many researchers have conducted comprehensive studies to investigate the antecedents and consequences of consumer trust, there has been little work on trust development framework. This paper therefore introduces the Trust Capability Maturity Model (TCMM) that proposes to identify trust and progressive improvement in Business-to-Customer (B2C) e-Commerce websites. Trust metrics in TCMM are mainly inherited from the quality aspects in the Delone and Mclean IS success model. TCMM is composed of three main components as follows: 1) internal structure, 2) maturity levels, and 3) assessment tool. After performing some minor modifications for TCMM, the practical evaluation of modified TCMM is demonstrated by two regional online bookstores. Based on both case studies, the evaluation results can be applied to determine the level of trust in other vendors. Following the TCMM roadmap, online vendors will be able to develop a trust-building strategy for creating value and maintaining trust in their websites.
