Loyal Customer

Maintaining a strong and loyal customer base is the objective of every organisation. However, in reality this is difficult to achieve in the current competitive environment. When the widespread challenges of the business environment are taken into account, organisations cannot simply plan to absorb new customers but instead adopt the strategy of preserving existing customers and promoting their loyalty to the organisation. This study examined customer loyalty in the banking sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). A theoretical model was constructed through an extensive literature review and by extracting the most relevant and important variables for customer loyalty. A questionnaire was used to collect data from customers of different banks. Regression results showed that service quality significantly influences customer satisfaction and customer trust. Furthermore, customer satisfaction and trust significantly affect customer loyalty towards banks. In this respect, service quality is imperative to maintain customer loyalty through customer satisfaction and trust.

Banks must meet the needs of their customers in order to achieve sustainable development. The aim of this paper is to examine service quality dimensions, by using the modified SERVQUAL model, which can be used to measure customer satisfaction, and the effect of these dimensions (tangibles, responsiveness, empathy, assurance, reliability, access, financial aspect, and employee competences) on customer satisfaction in Jordanian banks. Data were gathered from 825 customers in the Jordanian banking sector. The sample data were statistically analyzed through exploratory factor analysis by the SPSS program to determine service quality perception and customer satisfaction. The results illustrate that the modified SERVQUAL Model extracted four subscales in the new model instead of eight in the initial model. The first subscale contains four dimensions—assurance, reliability, access and employee competences. The second subscale consists of two dimensions—responsiveness and empathy. The third and fourth subscales—financial aspect and tangibility—are separate factors. Further studies should consider the dimensions of access, financial aspect, and employee competences as essential parts of service quality dimensions with the other subscales, so as to improve wider customer satisfaction in the banking sector. In the authors’ opinion, the modified SERVQUAL model is useful for addressing customer satisfaction in the banking sector.

The purpose of this article is to identify the dimensions of service quality (SQ) in the banking sector and examine the effect of SQ dimensions on customer satisfaction (CS), and therefore the effect of CS on corporate image (CI) in the selected public sector banks (PSBs) in India. The sample of the study consists of 640 retail customers of PSBs in the National Capital Region (NCR) of India and the data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a 7-point Likert scale based on purposive sampling. Therefore, the authors empirically validate a measurement model using structural equation modelling (SEM) through path analysis. The findings revealed that ‘tangibility’ and ‘assurance’ dimensions were most important predictors of CS among all five dimensions of SQ. In addition, the results also validate that CS is an important antecedent for influencing CI, and therefore CS acts as a linkage between SQ dimensions and CI in the Indian context. Finally, the research article presents the conclusion, implications and limitations and the possible directions for further research.

The Relationship

The current global economic challenges force each country to survive for the prosperity of its people. The banking sector, as one of the economic regulators, also helps to grow GDP. In this effort, the bank continues to strive to maintain customer satisfaction and build long-term relationships. Although many studies examine satisfaction, there are no studies that reveal the role of punctuality and convenience of service as solid constructs in explaining the process of bank customer loyalty behavior. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between timeliness and service convenience to satisfaction-mediated loyalty. This paper is a conceptual study so that there are several prepositions explained. The implications of this article are expected to give alternative insight to marketing literature, especially in the field of banking marketing, as well as a foundation that can later be investigated empirically for future researchers.

As a financial organization, banks are continuously introducing their new products and services at regular intervals to satisfy and retain their customers and hence, achieving high levels of service is one of techniques to keep customers both satisfied and loyal. Thus, this study intends to determine the impact of Service Quality on Customer Satisfaction and Customer Loyalty in private banking sector of Bangladesh. Five dimensions of Servqual Model such as tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and assurance (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1985) are considered as the base for this study.

Data has been analyzed by using PLS 3.0 software. SPSS software (version 20) package was also used to present the data demographically. The result shows that tangibility and empathy have significant effect on customer satisfaction, on the other hand, reliability, responsiveness and assurance don’t have any significant effect on customer satisfaction. Moreover, customer satisfaction has direct significant effect on customer loyalty. Finally, this study proposed few recommendations for the managerial implication.

Perceived Service Quality

Earlier research has shown that, in today’s highly competitive business world, service quality and satisfaction are central to management concerns for marketing effectiveness and success. This study attempts to determine customer-perceived service quality at rural Indian banks and identify the most significant predictors of overall customer satisfaction based on a five-dimensional ‘performance-only’ scale measuring service quality. Data was collected from 289 patrons of rural banks, based on a seven-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (”strongly disagree”) to 7 (“strongly agree”). The absence of a reliable sampling frame necessitated following a controlled sampling technique. In order to extract factors relevant to service quality, we employ exploratory factor analysis, means, standard deviations, t-tests, and regression analysis. Our preliminary analysis indicates that rural customers report high levels of perceived service quality across all five dimensions while the results of the regression analysis (β) show that reliability and assurance explain overall customer satisfaction at rural banks in India. The study’s findings can be employed by the banking industry to restructure and prioritize its service quality and develop appropriate promotional strategies by highlighting relevant aspects of service quality and customer satisfaction.
