This study identifies the impact of Internet banking service delivery system (IBSDS) process on consumer behaviour; the mediating effect of customer satisfaction on the relationship between IBSDS process and behavioural intention; and the moderating effect of the customer’s perceived value. The study uses a quantitative method using the data collected from 416 respondents. Mediated regression is used to examine the mediating effect of customer satisfaction. SPSS Process v2.16.3 is employed to analyse the moderating effect of the perceived value. The results indicate that IBSDS process impacts customer satisfaction and behavioural intention. Further, customer satisfaction plays a partial mediating role between the association of IBSDS process and behavioural intention. This study provides evidence that the technological capabilities embedded in the bank website processes are an important factor in determining customer satisfaction and ultimately behavioural intention. The study also reveals that perceived value moderates the relationship between IBSDS process and customer satisfaction, and between customer satisfaction, and, behavioural intention. It also adds to the existing knowledge on the adoption of Internet banking literature. Academicians and information systems researchers may use these findings for further research. Financial service providers or related agencies may consider the attributes of the IBSDS process (e.g., navigation, searching, transacting, etc.) while designing their Internet banking services to provide enhanced customer experiences. The paper also highlights the research limitations and scope for future research.

The mobile application industry has more actions and services in recent years due to consumer demand.The purpose of this study is to explain the relationships among perceived value, satisfaction, and customer loyalty in the paid mobile application industry. Moreover, this studydevelops and testsa conceptual model that offer a value perspective in understanding customer loyalty toward paid mobile applications. Toachieve this aim, perceived value and customer satisfaction must be measured and “switching costs” identified. This study also takes a value component perspective from Bernardo, Marimon and del Mar Alonso-Almeida (2012) to confirm how the two types of switching costs (monetary vs. nonmonetary switching costs) moderate the link in perceived value, satisfaction, and loyalty in the instance of a paid entertainment mobile application. The results from an online survey indicate that the switching costs had a moderating effect on the relationship between perceived value and loyalty, and the satisfaction and loyalty of using paid mobile applications. With respect to the findings, the moderating effect of switching cost play a critical role in determining customer loyalty of paid mobile applications. It also revealed that nonmonetary switching costs has more importance than monetary switching costs in engendering loyalty, since monetary contains price in the download paid mobile applications, which provides negative outcomes among the relationship of perceived value, satisfaction, and loyalty. In the conclusion, the implications of these findings are discussed.

Future trends in customers’ postpurchasing habits and the identification of the structures that affect the formation of these trends are key determinants of long-term financial performance and competitive advantage for businesses. In the field of marketing, service quality, perceived value and customer satisfaction, and the relationship between these structures are the main factors for the determination of customer loyalty. However, empirical findings have proven to be inadequate in revealing relationships between related structures in low- and high-involvement levels of consumer groups. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the moderating effect of involvement in the relationship between the behavioral intentions of members of a sports-fitness center and their antecedents. For the research, face-to-face questionnaires were administered to 842 subjects who had been selected by convenience sampling performed at sports and fitness centers operating in Istanbul, and the collected data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. Our results showed that there were differences in the effects of service quality, perceived value, and customer satisfaction on behavioral intentions among consumer groups in terms of low- or high-involvement levels. This article discussed the theoretical and managerial effects of the obtained results.

<p class="default">The objective of this work is to propose and test a conceptual framework that considers customer satisfaction, store image, perceived value and switching costs as antecedents of customer loyalty. In addition, we examine the moderating effect of switching costs in the relationship between loyalty and its antecedents. While customer satisfaction, store image and perceived value are important determinants of loyalty, switching costs have the same strong impact on customer loyalty as satisfaction. The findings prove that switching costs have a moderating effect on the relationship between store image and loyalty, as well as between perceived value and loyalty.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0.5in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Numerous empirical studies have extensively investigated perceived value as a unidimensional measure in the product and service setting. However, research scholars argued that this unidimensional conceptualization lacks validity and assumes that consumers have a shared meaning of value. Moreover, this unidimensional measure fails to give marketing practitioners specific direction on how to improve value. Thus, the multi-dimensional conceptualization of perceived value including five dimensions (quality, emotional response, monetary price, behavioral price and reputation) was employed to investigate service loyalty in the spa industry. This study aims to examine the relative effects of perceived value dimensions on satisfaction and trust and the impact of satisfaction and trust on loyalty. The moderating effects of destination equity are also taken into account. The empirical results support the significant impact of quality, emotional response, monetary price, reputation on satisfaction and trust as hypothesized. In contrast, no support was found on the link between monetary price and trust and between behavioral price and satisfaction and trust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Consistent with previous studies, the impact of satisfaction and trust on loyalty constructs were significantly supported. The moderating effect of destination equity on the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty was significantly apparent. In contrast, no support for the moderating effect of destination equity on the influence of trust on loyalty was found. Implications of the results are discussed.</span></p>

Purpose Customer journey is more omnichannel than ever. Currently, one of the most influential omnichannel behaviors is research shopping in its two predominant forms: webrooming and showrooming. The purpose of this study is to determine the possible moderating effect of each of these behaviors from a cognitive-affective perspective. Design/methodology/approach The proposed theoretical framework was applied to a sample of 636 mobile phone users. Findings The results indicated that research shopping moderated the intensity of the relationship between emotions and perceived value and between emotions and satisfaction. The analysis of the moderating effect of each concrete type of research shopping behavior indicated that negative emotions had a more intense negative effect on perceived value and satisfaction in the case of webrooming than in the case of showrooming. Originality/value This study focused on determining the possible moderating effect of research shopping vs one-stop shopping and webrooming vs showrooming on the intensity of the relationship between emotions, perceived value and satisfaction, considering determining factors of customer engagement to retailers (Han and Jeong, 2013). To achieve this objective, the authors performed a quantitative research in the Spanish market, choosing mobile phones as a reference product. The results will contribute to the current state of omnichannel retailing research by the analysis – through a cognitive-affective approach – of the consequences that research shopping and each of its two basic types (webrooming and showrooming) have on retailers.
