, 140). KBCP is measured through ease of navigation of the KB and other similar questions. SSE refers to the problem solving experiences of customers through independent use. PA is operationalized as "possible factors for customers to select a certain brand" (Hsu et al., 140). The other dependent variable PI is measured through would you buy this brand?
The problem of purchase intention is complex and it is not possible to capture the variability within the construct with a single question. Additionally consideration should be given to directly measure the value received from prior experience with the product or service. While there seems to be a tacit acceptance of this variable its omission from the model limits the explicative power of the model. It is reasonable to assume that self-efficacy is correlated to the prior experiences of a customer so the omission of this variable ignores a critical theoretical lynch from being tested.
The researcher may have ignored this element because of the problems that may result from multicollinearity (Kerlinger, & Lee 2000). It is very difficult to adequately measure prior experiences and not capture some of the variance represented by some of the other constructs in the model. While self-efficacy is linked to the KB and KM systems, at the core of self-efficacy is prior experience with the product or similar products.

A group of authors continues, "Only a limited number of choices are based on conscious information processing strategies. The rest of the variance left to explain is caused by unconscious effects of all kinds of subtle cues in the environment" (Dijksterhuis, Smith, Van Baaren, and Wigboldus 200).
