The objective of this study was to examine the behavior of consumer continuing intention to use e-banking. In the model, the consumer’s continuance intention was designed as target variable which affected by perceived relationship marketing and electronic service quality (e-serqual) as well as mediated by the attitude of consumer satisfaction and trust, and moderated by the magnitude of perceived switching costs. Data were gathered from 200 e-banking users, by using the convenience sampling method, and the participants as the subject for this study were Business Administration Students of Krisnadwipayana University, Jakarta – Indonesia. The result indicated that the correlation between relationship marketing and electronic service quality was to be reciprocal, and mutually positive and significant. In addition, perceived e-serqual had only positive effects on customer statisfaction and customer trust. But both of the observed key variables (relationship marketing and electronic service quality) showed no direct or indirect effects on consumer intention to continue using e-banking either through mediation of customer satisfaction and customer trust. However, after being given the moderating effect by low and high level of switching costs, it turned out that switching costs quite moderate significantly consumer intentions to continue using e-banking. Thus in this study, the findings of unsignificant effects were also discussed in order to provide theoretically and practically implication.

Abstract Background: Since 2013, China launched descending resources reform, which is a new attempt to correct unbalanced allocation of health resources through human capital spillovers and brand implantation from high-level hospitals. The purpose of this paper is to explore the patients’ hospital selection response to this reform with the focus of low-level hospitals to better understand the effect of this reform on correcting regional inequality of health resources allocation. Methods: The European Consumer Satisfaction Index model (ECSI) was used to design a questionnaire, and cross-sectional data from 17 hospitals were collected through 1,287 questionnaires from Zhejiang Province. Patient hospital selection (loyalty) is measured using ordinary variables by considering patient willingness to choose a low-level hospital when suffering an illness or severe illness. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the structure equation model are applied to examine the effect of reforms on patient behavior. Results: The descending resources reform promotes improvements in the capabilities and medical environment of low-level hospitals, and descending doctors also have high accessibility. Perceived quality, patient expectations, and hospital image have significant positive effects on patient satisfaction, and the explanatory power of brand implantation from cooperative high-level hospitals and descending doctors is stronger than the image of the low-level hospital itself. And descending resources reform and patient satisfaction have significant positive impacts on patient’s choice for low-level hospitals with the existence of mediating effect of satisfaction. Conclusions: This paper provides supporting empirical evidence of the descending resources reform’s impact on patients’ low-level hospital selection. This reform has been effective in improving the capabilities of low-level hospitals, and brand implantation of high-level hospitals shows strong explanatory power. China’s reform offers a distinct and valuable approach to correcting the uneven allocation of health resources. Besides, the findings also suggest that policymakers could pay more attention to the importance of information channels in impacting patient awareness, responses, and hospital selection.

This paper investigates passenger loyalty to intercity bus services and identifies important factors influencing loyalty. The relationships between passenger loyalty and other latent factors, including satisfaction, service value, service quality, sacrifice, switching costs, attractiveness of competitors, and trust are hypothesized and tested. Factor analysis is used to extract the latent service quality factors from a large number of service quality indicators. Structural equation models are then developed to elucidate the causal relationships of passenger loyalty and the latent factors. The empirical results have confirmed the proposed hypotheses. Satisfaction has the most significant influence on passenger loyalty. Service value, switching costs, and trust have direct and positive effects on loyalty, whereas attractiveness of competitors has a direct negative effect. The indirect effect of service quality, via service value and satisfaction, on passenger loyalty is also significant. From the empirical results, managerial implications for the bus carriers are addressed.

This study aims to provide an alternative model for understanding customers’ loyalty behavior by examining the effect of relationship marketing (RM) and service quality on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty moderated with switching costs. A laboratory experiment was carried out to ascertain the controlled variables based on factorial design: 2 (RM: high vs low) x 2 (service quality: high vs low) x 2 (the switching costs: high vs low). The study was based on bank clients as participants, and multiple linear regression was chosen to examine the causal relationship between the variables that are hypothesized. The results indicate that loyalty of banking customers is significantly influenced by RM, service quality and customer satisfaction. In addition, switching costs have a role in moderating customer loyalty. The implications of this study were discussed to give insight into contributions of theoretical and practical aspects, and for future studies
