當高齡化社會，加上資源重分配，中產階級因失去競爭力，M型化社會來臨(中央網路報，2007)。隨著國人逐漸重視投資理財，銀行業務也轉型朝向財富管理業務。銀行若藉此提高顧客服務價值，以有效建立其顧客之關係，則銀行不但可獲得較高企業品牌形象，長期將創造更多獲利。 黃逸甫(2004)發現品牌形象對顧客滿意有正向影響。陳冠仰(2009)較高的服務價值認知，則會產生較高的顧客滿意度。陳柏憲(2010)指出，顧客關係正向影響顧客滿意度。華人關係網絡的情感性關係與工具性關係對信任有顯著正向之影響。 本研究對象為目前仍參與投資之銀行財富理顧客為顧客，並採用立意抽樣、滾雪球抽樣二種方式，同步進行紙本及網路問卷施測，共回收有效問卷235份，有效回收率為100%。因事前與銀行財富管理顧客及代為轉發之理財顧問，做過相當詳細的電訪接觸與溝通，故回收率相當高。本研究使用統計軟體SPSS 19.0進行資料分析，驗證各項假設。 研究假設： 一、企業品牌形象對銀行財富管理顧客之顧客滿意度認知上會有顯著影響。 1.企業品牌形象對銀行財富管理顧客在顧客滿意度認知上會有顯著影響。 2.服務價值對銀行財富管理顧客在顧客滿意度認知上會有顯著影響。 二、不同企業品牌形象對銀行財富管理顧客之顧客滿意度認知上會有顯著差異。 三、關係在品牌形象與服務價值對銀行顧客滿意度的影響會有顯著調節作用。 四、顧客滿意度對銀行財富管理顧客在口碑行銷認知上會有顯著影響。 五、不同的人口統計變項之銀行財富管理顧客在企業品牌形象、服務價值、顧客滿意度、口碑行銷與關係認知上會有顯著差異。 研究結果發現：獲得上述研究假設1-4均成立，假設5部分成立之結果。銀行品牌形象知名度的高低及顧客感受到的服務價值程度對顧客滿意程度皆有顯著的影響，銀行財富管理顧客和銀行理財顧問的關係程度也會影響顧客滿意的程度，其顧客滿意程度越高，口碑行銷效果越佳；反之，則越不佳。關係程度越高，則富管理顧客對銀行服務價值的感受程度越低，所以財富管理顧客在關係調節後，重視企業品牌形象反而銀行服務價值更多。 根據上述結果，本研究認為，銀行業在提供理財投資服務時，要必須加強投資理財產品的獨特性、提高理財產品的附加價值，提高顧客滿意度。銀行業應隨時關心理財顧問與財富管理顧之關係，良好的關係會提高財富管理顧客的滿意度，有利銀行各種業務的推展。

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of human interaction versus interactions with technology in overall customer satisfaction with banking services, specifically, tellers versus Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) vs online transactions. All types of interactions are important in services, yet their level of importance is changing as the environment change.Design/methodology/approachTwo studies were conducted through surveys with students who had a bank checking account; six item measures were used to examine human interaction, interaction with an ATM, interaction with an online banking service and overall satisfaction with the specific bank. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the effects of the interactions on overall satisfaction.FindingsThe findings from the two studies show that while the human encounter was more important before online banking became so prevalent, the convenience of online banking has displaced the importance of human interaction. However, there were gender differences in that males, more than females, remain influenced by teller transactions.Research limitations/implicationsThe study utilizes student samples, which could be biased. However, students are also users of banking services so they represent a traditional target market for financial service firms.Practical implicationsThe results are informative for managers when planning and implementing new online services in the financial industry.Originality/valueThis paper draws together research on interpersonal interactions and technological interactions to examine the effects on overall satisfaction. Given the proliferation of technological advances, understanding how these technologies impact customer satisfaction is vital.

With the fierce competition in the banking sector in Indonesia, banking companies are required to be able to improve the quality of products and services in accordance with customer expectations so as to get customer satisfaction and form a customer's desire to use the services of the banking company again. This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality, customer trust, customer satisfaction and word of mouth in shaping repurchase intention behavior in banking companies in Jakarta. This study used 141 Bank BCA customers who were collected by distributing questionnaires using Google Form media. Furthermore, respondents' responses were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis method with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results of this study show that service quality affects customer trust, customer satisfaction, and word of mouth as well as the positive influence of customer satisfaction on repurchase intention. However, the study did not find a significant effect of service quality, customer trust, and word of mouth on repurchase intention. Factors such as providing quality product and service experiences to customers play an important role in shaping customer recommendation behavior, increasing customer trust and satisfaction so that customers' intentions to buy and reuse products and services from banking companies can be formed due to customer satisfaction. Therefore, banking companies need to be oriented towards increasing customer satisfaction so that it influences customers' decisions to not only try, but also intend to use banking services again in the future.
