This study was aimed at investigating three factors (service quality, brand image and price perception) and assessed the degree of the impact of each factor on customer satisfaction, especially the relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in Vietnamese mobile telecom sector where there have been the existence of the fierce competition, mature market and internationally integrated economy, ultimately struggling for market share and survival. The results indicated that each factor (service quality, brand image, price perception) has a positive impact on customer satisfaction at the different level as well as a significantly positive relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in mobile telecommunication industry in Vietnam. The results of this study are consistent with the findings and evidence in the extant literature. The study provides the important feedback from customers to mobile telecom suppliers. Research findings are expected to be marketing insights for Vietnamese mobile telecom managers so that they can develop the sound marketing strategies in today’s competitive and costly market.

This study examines the moderating effect of customer satisfaction on the relationships between service quality dimensions and customer loyalty in mobile telecommunication industry in Nigeria. The study employed SmartPLS3 software for the analysis and hypotheses testing. The results of the study reveal that assurance, empathy, reliability and tangibility are positively related to customer’s loyalty. In addition, customer satisfaction had been found to moderate the relationship between customer loyalty and the five SERVQUAL dimensions with the exception of responsiveness and tangibility. Relationship between responsiveness and customer’s loyalty has been found to be negative. Finally, the study proposed some recommendations and implication for the study.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the service quality of full-service restaurants in Vietnam to explore possible factors that may impact customer perception, which subsequently influences customer satisfaction and behavioural intentions. Based on the DINESERV model and service clues, the possible dimensions to construct customer perception were realised, and four key dimensions were suggested. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from four urban local full-service restaurants in Vietnam, and factor analysis and SEM-PLS were then performed to uncover the relationship between customer perception, satisfaction and behavioural intentions. Findings The results suggest that customer perception significantly influences customer satisfaction and behavioural intentions, and customer satisfaction itself is also found to have influence on behavioural intentions. Originality/value This is an original piece of work which contributes to the exploration of service quality in developing countries and to the incorporation of cleanliness into analyses of restaurant service quality in particular.

The Health system in Malaysia including hospitals, clinics, and community health agencies can be very different from other operational work environments. Healthcare systems are complex and there are many things that need to know about types of hospital operation systems, patient care, insurance, healthcare providers, and legal issues. This study aimed at examining the relationship between perceived service quality, customer satisfaction, and behavioural intentions in the context of the hospital in Sabah, Malaysia. Information from 208 respondents was used through questionnaires for the purposed of statistical data analysis using SmartPLS. The result showed only tangibles and empathy supports behavioural intentions in relation to the retail pharmacy within Malaysia. This study tested relationships of tangibles, assurance, and empathy with customer satisfaction respectively were shown to be significantly positive as well. A positive relationship between customer satisfaction and behavioural intentions was also observed in this study. As for the mediation analysis, the outcome indicated that tangibles, assurance, and empathy respectively have an indirect relationship with behavioural intentions mediated by customer satisfaction. Additional findings also showed that, while the direct effects of empathy on behavioural intentions were significant, the indirect impact was noted to be greater for behavioural intentions in connection with customer satisfaction as mediation. The result also showed that relative to other perceived service quality, empathy has the most impact on customer satisfaction as well as behavioural intentions respectively. The findings from this study significant to this industry which contribute to policymakers, service providers, and other stakeholders.

Passengers’ behavioural intentions after experiencing transit services can be viewed as signals that show if a customer continues to utilise a company’s service. Users’ behavioural intentions can depend on a series of aspects that are difficult to measure directly. More recently, transit passengers’ behavioural intentions have been just considered together with the concepts of service quality and customer satisfaction. Due to the characteristics of the ways for evaluating passengers’ behavioural intentions, service quality and customer satisfaction, we retain that this kind of issue could be analysed also by applying ordered regression models. This work aims to propose just an ordered probit model for analysing service quality factors that can influence passengers’ behavioural intentions towards the use of transit services. The case study is the LRT of Seville (Spain), where a survey was conducted in order to collect the opinions of the passengers about the existing transit service, and to have a measure of the aspects that can influence the intentions of the users to continue using the transit service in the future.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3199
