Customer Satisfaction And Loyalty

This study investigates the relationships between service quality determinants namely tangible, reliability, responsiveness, competency, courtesy and credibility, with customer satisfaction and loyalty in the context of Malaysian hypermarkets. The paper also investigates the mediating role of customer satisfaction and also determines whether location (from the strategic perspective) plays a significant moderating role in the customer satisfaction-customer loyalty linkage. The findings suggest that service quality has significant relationships with  customer satisfaction and customer loyalty measures. The result indicates that three service quality determinants specifically tangibles, courtesy and credibility demonstrate high associations with customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. The result suggests that customer satisfaction has significant mediating role in the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty. In addition, location moderates the linkage between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in both directions. The findings suggest that a more strategic location of a hypermarket can strengthen the relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.

Descriptive statistics were used to determine the level of service quality provided by supermarkets, and inferential statistics to determine the gap between customer's service quality expectations and perceptions and to test the research hypotheses.FindingsThe findings indicate service quality of supermarkets is perceived as being unsatisfactory, service quality significantly affects customer satisfaction and loyalty and customer satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty reducing customer's perceptions of service quality, leading to lower customer loyalty.Practical implicationsThis study provides an indication as to where supermarkets should target their marketing attention and scarce corporate resources and may help in their efforts to service, satisfy, retain and attract more long-term loyal customers in the increasingly competitive supermarket sector. This research could inform government policy makers in sequencing the supermarket sector transformation and assist local supermarkets to adapt to this changing retail landscape.Originality/valueThis study advances our understanding of the effect of service quality on customer satisfaction and loyalty and the mediating role of customer satisfaction in the supermarket sector.
