The current research investigates customers' voluntary participation, using a sample of 446 consumers who visit fashion retail stores. The main focus of this study is to test a social exchange CVP model, including three antecedents of customers' perceived justice through mediators of service satisfaction and brand commitment. In support of the proposed model, I identify fully mediated relationships from interactional justice to the three CVP via service satisfaction and brand commitment and partially mediated relationship from distributive justice to the three CVP through brand commitment. No mediated relationship found for procedural justice neither through service satisfaction nor brand commitment to the CVP behaviors. The results generally support that the significantly indirect effects of perceived justice to the three CVP and satisfaction and commitment are the important mediators in between. The concept of justice can be interpreted in light of the normative value of social exchange relationship.

Application of existing decision tree algorithms for Internet retail customer classification is apt to construct a bushy tree due to imprecise source data. Even excessive analysis may not guarantee the effectiveness of the business although the results are derived from fully detailed segments. Thus, it is necessary to determine the appropriate number of segments with a certain level of abstraction. In this study, we developed a stopping rule that considers the total amount of information gained while generating a rule tree. In addition to forwarding from root to intermediate nodes with a certain level of abstraction, the decision tree is investigated by the backtracking pruning method with misclassification loss information.
