Motorcycle has become a common vehicle in Indonesia due to its flexibility to drive around in various geographical terrain. The number of motorcycle purchases in Indonesia is increasing annually, along with the repair services and spare part selling. Abundant repair service providers create fierce competition among themselves, so many providers maintain their service quality in order to retain their customer. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of service quality and relationship quality to customer satisfaction in motorcycle repair providers. This research is using the quantitative approach, in which the data are collected by questionnaires distributed to samples of populations. The population is the customers who have purchased repair services and spare parts for their motorcycle, and the number of samples is 100 respondents. The data are analyzed with a SmartPLS software, and the results show a positive significant impact from service quality to customer satisfaction, a positive significant impact from service quality to relationship quality, and a positive impact from relationship quality to customer satisfaction. Therefore, for the long term competitive advantage, motorcycle repair service providers have to consider their service quality and relationship quality to retain their customers.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the multidimensional concept of mobile banking service quality (security/privacy, practicity, design/aesthetics, enjoyment and sociality) and the impact of the latter on the quality of the relationship (commitment, trust and satisfaction) between consumers and their primary financial institution. Design/methodology/approach An online survey was conducted using a sample of 375 respondents, all owners of a mobile device and all accustomed to conducting banking activities on mobile platforms. Results were analyzed using structural modeling techniques (EQS 6.1). Findings Findings confirm that trust significantly and positively impacts commitment/satisfaction. Mobile banking service quality dimensions also influence trust and commitment/satisfaction. Trust is associated with security/privacy and practicity (regarded as utilitarian factors), while commitment/satisfaction is driven by enjoyment and sociality (dimensions more hedonic by nature). No link is found between interface design and either trust or commitment/satisfaction. Originality/value This study contributes to bank marketing theory since it is the first to demonstrate how key mobile banking service quality dimensions drive customer perceptions of relationship quality. In doing so, this research extends beyond mobile adoption (short term) by addressing customer engagement with financial institutions and issues relating to relationship quality (long term). Regarding managerial implications, findings signal to marketers in the financial services industry the importance of not underestimating the power of hedonic factors (sociality and enjoyment) when developing mobile platforms. These dimensions are often overlooked in the banking industry, a sector in which consumers are believed to be mostly driven by utilitarian motives.

Retailers in the spring bed business have a privilege to choose among the various products offered by various suppliers. Typically, these retailers would have chosen the suppliers whose products are matched with their needs and at the same time could give higher profits. This condition has strengthened the competition in the spring bed industry. In order to face the challenges that come from the retailers’ switching behavior, every supplier has to give a good service quality and build a strong relationship quality with their retailers. In this study, relationship quality was measured by three components: satisfaction, trust and commitment from the retailers to the suppliers.The objective of the study is to analyze the impact of service quality on switching behavior which was mediated by the relationship quality. The components of relationship quality are: satisfaction, trust and commitment. A theoretical framework was developed as the hypotheses for testing the impact of every variables were constructed. The samples of this study were 341 spring bed retailers in Jabodetabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi) area. A sixpoint Likert-type scale was used for the questionnaire variables, with 1 = strongly disagree and 6 = strongly agree. The quantitative analysis with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was completed using Lisrel 8.8. The structural model of this study could explain the interrelationship among each variables in the model. As a result, from ten hypotheses there were five findings supporting the hypotheses: service quality had an impact on satisfaction, service quality had an impact on trust, satisfaction had an impact on trust, trust had an impact on commitment, and commitment had an impact on commitment. The findings which did not support the hypotheses<br />were: There was no impact of service quality on commitment and switching behavior; there is no impact of satisfaction on commitment and switching behavior; and finally there is no impact of trust on switching behavior. As a conclusion, the result of the study described the importance of service quality in manufactured industry, in the business to business context between spring bed suppliers and retailers. The impact of service quality on the switching behavior was mediated by relationship quality, where commitment was the important component of relationship quality that greatly affecting the strength of service quality impact on switching behavior. For future studies, researchers may explored other model to investigate more variables with more proper indicators, more homogeneous samples and longer period of research

The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of service quality on relationship quality in the context of India retail banks. Previous researchers have identified that service quality as a core competency of service industries, whereas the term relationship quality has occupied the prime spot in relationship marketing research for various reasons, the present study attempted to investigate the impact of service quality on relationship quality. At times, the demographic variables can act as a differentiator in the path model, the study made an effort to investigate the moderating role of the demographic variables. The authors developed a structured questionnaire, items used in the questionnaire were adopted from existing literature. The developed questionnaire was distributed among bank customers through e-mail and were requested to fill the same. The authors used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to analyze the path model between service quality and relationship quality. Findings of the study showed that there exist a positive relationship between service quality and relationship quality. The results also revealed that the relationship duration and type of bank has a moderating effect on the path model between service quality and relationship quality. However age and gender of the respondents did not show any moderating effect on the path model. Previous researchers has suggested that it cost more to acquire a new customer when compared to retaining an existing customer. The technology aspects of a service industry like banking mobile banking, e-services can be easily mimicked by the competitors, whereas the quality dimensions of banking industry cannot be easily imitated by the competitors, hence the banks shall establish good service quality and improve relationship quality to stay ahead of competition and win the minds of the customers.
