This study has focused on the relationship between the shopping mall and tenant store. Although the growth and development of shopping mall in Korea, there are few academic and professional interests. Therefore, adopting expectancy-disconfirmation paradigm, this study examined the constructs of expectation, performance, disconfirmation, satisfaction and re-visit intention of shopping mall and tenant store in each context. The research model also considered the mutual effect of these constructs between shopping mall and tenant store as positing the path between them. Hence, main hypotheses were divided into two different ways from the constructs of shopping mall to tenant store's and vice versa. Then, three hypotheses exploring the direction of customer's evaluation shopping mall and tenant were also included in the research model. From the result of 461 mall-intercept survey, almost hypotheses were supported as expected.

The shopping values in this paper include the utilitarian-, hedonic-, and social engagement-shopping values. The hypothesized research model was proposed based on five main constructs: three shopping values, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty.

We investigate the impact of marital status on the levels of satisfaction of online shoppers in the beauty and cosmetics industry in Vietnam. We find a significant difference in satisfaction between married and divorced/separated online shoppers. More specifically, the latter reveals higher level of satisfaction than the former. Extended analyses further show that this finding is only observed for female online shoppers whilst it is insignificant for their male counterparts. Moreover, we find significant differences in determinants of customer satisfaction between three different groups of online shoppers: single, married, and divorced/separated. While married individuals' satisfaction is affected by all factors (Online shopping experience; Seller Services; External Incentives; Security/Privacy), that of their divorced/separated peers are influenced by only seller services and external incentives. Also, single participants are satisfied with their online shopping driven by their online shopping experience and external incentives. Our findings contribute to the stream of customer satisfaction literature, and to the studies in beauty and cosmetics sector as well as online shopping trends in Vietnam. They contain implications for existing online businesses and new or potential market entrants as to which customer demographic factors have significant influences in terms of customer psychology, behaviour and their satisfaction.
