Abstract
Purpose - The research was conducted to understand how the values of customers using airline SNS affects customer satisfaction and trust. By finding out which characteristics of customer values lead to customer satisfaction and gaining trust, research concludes with suggestions for various airlines to utilize such characteristics to maintain customers through SNS. Research design, data, and methodology - The data were collected from May to July 2020 for two months from the people who used SNS operated by domestic airlines. 342 samples were selected and used as final samples for the study. Result - The results of the relationship between customers' values and customer satisfaction amongst those who use airlines' SNS show that practical, pleasure and social components all have a positive effect on customer satisfaction. The relationship between customers' values and customer trust amongst those who use airlines' SNS show that practical and pleasure components have a positive effect on customer trust while social component didn't yield a positive impact on customer trust. Conclusion - Identifying and understanding SNS users' value structure and providing specific guidelines for customer value components can help demonstrate the causal relationship between customer value components, customer satisfaction, and trust. Also, evidence of applicable customer value theory could be provided.
