This research aims to construct a model that combines brand love, brand loyalty, brand image, customer satisfaction, and service quality into a single model, with brand loyalty coming foremost, and test its predictive power in building brand love. Moreover, mediating effect of customer satisfaction and brand image on service quality and brand loyalty affecting brand love was checked. The study adopted an alliance context using an existing SERVQUAL model, a bi-dimensional aspect of brand loyalty and parasocial love relationship theory, to identify brand love as a construct or outcome in the consumer-brand relationship. Using a quantitative approach, survey questionnaires were distributed by unrestricted random sampling among 507 Saudia Airlines customers. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with SmartPLS 3.0. The results revealed significant relationships between four variables except for the brand image. It was found that brand image had no mediating effect on the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty. The outcome of this study highlights the importance of airline alliances for service quality, which leads to positive customer satisfaction, brand image, and customer loyalty.

The purposes of this study were to understand the influence of brand personality-self image congruence in quick service restaurants on customer satisfaction and to empirically analyze whether or not customers' brand identification plays a moderating role between brand personality-self image congruence and customer satisfaction. Based on a total of 478 samples obtained from empirical research from June 10 to June 16, 2010, self-administered questionnaires were completed by patrons in a metropolitan area, and data were analyzed based on frequency, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results of the study were as follows: From the factor analysis of brand personality and self-image, 5 factors, i.e. sophistication (5 items), competence (5 items), likability (5 items), trendiness (5 items), and ruggedness (5 items) were extracted. The results show that trendiness (${\beta}$=-0.151) among brand personality-self image congruence had a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. Further, customers' brand identification (${\beta}$=0.645) had a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. In addition, the effect of brand personality-self image congruence (only, likability ${\times}$ brand identification; ${\beta}$=0.245) in quick service restaurants on customer satisfaction was found to be partially moderated by customers' brand identification. In other words, the findings show that customers wanted to identify with a specific brand because it provides a means to continue transactions with the brand if it corresponds with their self-image or if the overall image of the brand is favorable.
