Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of consumption values, green customer satisfaction and customer trust in energy-efficient labels on green customer loyalty and positive word of mouth (PWOM) towards energy-efficient products, and how environmental knowledge moderates these relationships. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative research approach was followed using a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 440 consumers in South Africa, who used electronic home appliances that have energy efficiency labels. A structural equation model and a multigroup analysis were used to test the hypothesised relationships. Findings The results revealed that consumption values partially influence green customer satisfaction, which, in turn, affect green customer trust and loyalty, and PWOM. Environmental knowledge only marginally moderates the relationships in the model. Practical implications Green marketing practitioners should work on improving green customer satisfaction, which is central to a sustainable green consumption lifestyle. Originality/value The theoretical contribution of this study is through the application of a multidimensional approach to testing the impact of consumption values on green customer satisfaction. Moreover, this paper provides greater clarity on the specific determinants of PWOM and examines the interplay between green customer loyalty and positive word of mouth towards green products. Furthermore, the moderating effect of environmental knowledge on the relationships in the proposed model is explained.

<p>This research, which was conducted in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, aims to analyze the influence of the dimensions of service quality, competitive prices, customer satisfaction toward the positive word-of-mouth of Supermarket customers. Questionnaires were distributed to 350 respondents as samples using the <em>non-probability sampling method</em> and <em>purposive sampling technique</em>. Meanwhile, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to analyze the data. The results of the study indicate that <em>Reliability, Assurance, Tangibles, Empathy, Responsiveness, Competitive Price</em> have positive and significant effects on<em>Customer Satisfaction</em>, which in turn would have a positive impact on positive word-of-mouth. Of all dimensions of service quality, the most powerful factor influencing consumer satisfaction shopping in supermarkets is reliability, and the one that gives consumers the most important feeling in providing quality services is Responsiveness. For further research, it is recommended to expand the scope of research in various types of businesses, not only in supermarkets.</p>

This research addresses the respective importance of the charitable, experiential, and service-based dimensions associated with benefit concerts. Through a consumer-based approach, we examine the effects of three antecedents (charitable scope, immersion, and quality of service) on satisfaction and behavioral outcomes (loyalty and positive word-of-mouth). Data collected on site immediately after a charity concert are analyzed with structural equation modeling. The state of immersion and the event’s charitable scope enhance the overall satisfaction, which, in turn, fosters the behavioral outcomes. Direct effects are identified; satisfaction is influenced more by immersion, whereas behavioral outcomes depend more on charitable scope. The type of initial motivation moderates the findings: The quality of service enhances satisfaction only among attendees with other-focused motivation, immersion improves satisfaction if the motivation is self-focused, and charitable scope remains an important factor of satisfaction regardless of the type of motivation.
