  • The purpose of this study was to understand the interrelationships among customers'perceived values, switching cost, and loyalty to a family restaurant. Based on 328 patrons obtained from empirical research, this study reviewed the reliability and fitness of a research model and verified three hypotheses using the Amos program. The hypothesized relationships were tested in the model simultaneously using a structural equation model (SEM). The proposed model provided an adequate fit to the data, $x^2$=341.01 (df=154), p<0.001, CMIN/df 2.21, GFI 0.91, NFI 0.94, IFI 0.97, TLI 0.96, CFI 0.97, RMSEA 0.06. The results showed that utilitarian values (${\beta}$=0.27) as customers' perceived values elements in a family restaurant, had a positive (+) influence upon switching cost. Switching cost had a significant positive (+) effect on the behavioral loyalty (${\beta}$=0.16) and attitudinal loyalty (${\beta}$=0.16). Hedonic values (${\beta}$= 0.41) and utilitarian values (${\beta}$=0.26) had a positive (+) influence on customer's behavioral loyalty. Additionally, a customers hedonic values (${\beta}$= 0.30) and utilitarian values (${\beta}$=0.32) had a significant positive (+) effect on attitudinal loyalty. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

The results and implications are that there is a significant relationship between service quality and overall satisfaction. Furthermore, a significant relationship exists between overall satisfaction and behavioral intentions. This study also shows that overall service quality affects customer satisfaction and behavioral intention.

  • Scholars and companies have made a lot of effort to increase customer loyalty to achieve long-term customer retention and sustainable profitability. The author proposes a conceptual model with the purpose of understanding the antecedent variables which have impact on customer attitudinal/behavioral loyalty. In addition, this article examines the mediating effects of perceived value between self-congruity and customer loyalty.

  • This study aims to give insight into better understanding how service quality influences customers' attitude and behavior in terms of loyalty as well as how its effects vary by the types of restaurants (family restaurants or fast food restaurants). The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, perceived service quality, which consists of food, service, menu and atmosphere, made a significant impact on customer satisfaction for food, menu, atmosphere, and service, respectively. Second, the study examined how perceived service quality affected future expectations, and found only food turned out to be a significant factor. Third, customer satisfaction affected future satisfaction and customer loyalty, and it had a greater impact on attitudinal loyalty than behavioral loyalty. Fourth, future satisfaction affects customer loyalty, and it had a greater impact on attitudinal loyalty than behavioral loyalty. Fifth, the study examined how service quality, customer satisfaction and future expectation affected attitudinal loyalty and behavioral loyalty differently by different types of the food service industry (family restaurants or fast food restaurants) and found out there were some differences in the effects of customer satisfaction on behavioral loyalty and the future expectations and attitudinal loyalty on behavioral loyalty. The marketing implication is that service providers should be one step ahead in understanding the service quality perceived by customers (food, service, menu, and atmosphere). In addition, they should understand that establishing long-tenn relationships with customers by providing high quality service bas a direct impact on their business performance. Furthermore, management in family restaurants and fast food restaurants should include the improvement of service quality in their employee training programs.

  • Even though the features of the products are almost identical, customers' reactions to each product are quite different depending on the brand image. The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of smart phone's brand images on customer's satisfaction and loyalty and compare the differences between user groups of the Galaxy and iPhone, two representative brands of smart phone. In order to do this, their brand images were classified into functional, symbolic and experiential brand images, and customer's loyalty was also classified into attitudinal and behavioral ones to empirically confirm the influence of those factors. The findings showed that functional and experiential brand images had a positive effect on their level of satisfaction, while symbolic brand images did not have a significant effect on it. Furthermore, it was found that the satisfaction level had a significant effect on attitudinal and behavioral loyalty, and attitudinal loyalty also had a significant effect on behavioral loyalty. Finally, a multiple group analysis of the user groups of Galaxy and iPhone determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the channel between customer satisfaction and attitudinal loyalty.

  • The present study investigated the impact of users' perceived benefits on their happiness and loyalty towards the university's online class system. Furthermore, the notion of loyalty was delineated into cognitive, emotional, intentional, and behavioral loyalty, and a systematic analysis was conducted to assess their respective impacts. The analysis was conducted using survey data obtained from a sample of 298 college students who possessed prior experience with the university's online class system. The analysis of the survey revealed that the satisfaction with the online class system was positively influenced by perceived practical benefits and symbolic benefits. However, it was found that emotional benefits did not have a statistically significant impact on satisfaction. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that cognitive loyalty exerts a substantial beneficial impact on emotional loyalty, as well as a sequential and considerable positive influence on active and behavioral commitment inside the online class system established through perceived benefits. This study holds significance as it conducted an empirical analysis on the impact of users' perceived benefits of the university's online class system on their satisfaction levels, as well as its influence on the four-stage development process of loyalty.

  • Product design is being recognized as an important source of sustainable competitive advantage. This research explores the effects of design evaluative elements on brand loyalty through design values. The results of this study are as follows. Firstly, most design evaluative elements have positive effects on design values. Aesthetic, unique, feminine, noble, and utilitarian elements of design evaluation influence three types of design values: rational, kinesthetic, and emotional. While unique design evaluative element does not have significant effects on rational and kinesthetic design values, it has significant affect on the emotional design value positively. Secondly, three types of design values have positive effects on attitudinal brand loyalty. In addition, emotional and kinesthetic design values have positive influences on behavioral brand loyalty. However, the emotional design value has an indirect effect on behavioral brand loyalty through attitudinal brand loyalty. Lastly, attitudinal brand loyalty has a significant influence on behavioral brand loyalty positively.

  • As competition grows in the telecommunication service industry, understanding the origins of brand image and consumer behavioral intentions challenges practitioners to design an effective marketing strategy and branding plan. In this paper, brand image and behavioral relationships are investigated in Bangladesh, an emerging market that has a particular socio-cultural and economic context of one of the most densely populated countries of South Asia. This study employs confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling to analyze the database. Empirical testing and the proposed model suggest that brand image is the prime determinant of consumer satisfaction and loyalty. The results highlight the importance of perceived value, perceived trust and price structure to project brand image and satisfaction. Additionally, confirmation exhibits a stronger total effect of brand image on customer loyalty. Empirical findings extensively contribute to the theoretical and managerial understanding of subscribers' attitudes toward telecommunication service in an emerging market context.
