This study aimed to examine the customer interest in using rooftop PV considering the economic background and customer profile in Indonesia’s electricity market using primary survey data with potential and existing (households and industries) respondents. This research uses logit model regression to analyze the impact of the demographic background of respondents and uses exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to understand the reasons why the existing users utilize rooftop PV at their homes. The results show that education, residence location, and income can positively and significantly affect the probability of using rooftop PV as the source of electricity. Then, there are several factors that influence the use of rooftop PV, such as easily finding it in their area, having concern for the environment, following trends, and loyalty. Some disadvantages of installing rooftop PV are felt by users, such as relatively high installation cost and frequent overheating during usage. Regarding customer satisfaction, most of the respondents from both households and industries answered that they were satisfied with their rooftop’s PV. Consumers say that the benefits they obtain are comparable to the required installation costs, and the majority of consumers also said that the rooftop PV worked well and did not need many repairs every month, so consumers did not need to spend significant money on it.

Abstract PurposeBased upon an extended SERVQUAL model, this paper attempts to contribute to the Islamic banking literature by examining the impact of digitalization, as a service quality dimension, on customer satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachTwo dimensions, i.e. digitalization and compliance are added to the existing SERVQUAL model of five dimensions. Results are drawn from a self-completed survey of a convenience sample of 145 Tunisian Islamic bank customers for the year 2018. Factor analysis and regression analysis are used to determine factor structure and determine the impact of service quality dimensions, especially digitalization, on customer satisfaction in Islamic banking.FindingsThe factor analysis extracted five dimensions of service quality, i.e. confidence, compliance, digitalization, tangibles and human skills. The paper demonstrates a positive and significant relationship between the main dimensions of customer service quality and customer satisfaction, except for tangibles.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the outcomes lend support to the extended SERVQUAL model, the results are derived based on a relatively small sample size in one country (Tunisia). This limits the generalizability of the study results. It might also be useful to enlarge the study sample and include a comparison between Islamic versus conventional banking about service quality and customer satisfaction.Managerial implications:To remain competitive, Tunisian Islamic banks need to pay attention to the way the services are delivered and not take it for granted that customers are only focusing on compliance. Dealing henceforth with Generation Y customers, they must persevere in bringing their customer service into the digital era.Originality/valueThis study is one of few which try to investigate the drivers of customer satisfaction for Islamic banks in a Digital Era. It reveals that although customers pay special attention to Sharia’ laws, the way services are delivered matters to them too. From now on, digital banking must appear among the Islamic bank features to stay relevant in the Digital Era.

This study examines the impact of automated teller machine (ATM) service quality on customer satisfaction and its effect on customer loyalty. The data were collected from 360 ATM users in Karachi, Pakistan, using a structured questionnaire. After the data screening process and the removal of outliers, 322 responses were found useable. To identify the dimensions of ATM service quality and their relationship with customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used. The findings indicate that (a) fulfilment, reliability, ease of use, and security and privacy are the major dimensions of ATM service quality, (b) dimensions such as convenience and responsiveness are positively insignificantly correlated with customer satisfaction and (c) customer satisfaction significantly influences customer loyalty. This study suggests concrete strategies for bank managers to improve customer experience with ATM and identifies the issues to be resolved in order to improve ATM service quality.
