THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG U-CONSTRUCTS, TRUST AND SATISFACTION: EVIDENCE FROM MOBILE BANKING USERS
The last few decades have witnessed a drastic change in the nature of commerce due to the development of ubiquitous computingtechnologies. E-commerce has evolved to an ultimate stage that is called u-commerce. This study seeks to provide an understandingof consumer satisfaction and trust in u-commerce characteristics. Thus, the research examined how u-constructs affect satisfaction and trust from the mobile banking perspective. Ubiquity, uniqueness, universality, and unison comprise the characteristic featuresrepresented as u-constructs. In this study, a total of 1012 samples were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results showed that characteristics of ubiquity and universality have positive effects on customer satisfaction, yet they do not have any effect on trust. It was also found that uniqueness and unison have positive effects on trust and that trust has a positive effect on satisfaction. This study contains some theoretical and practical implications for researchers and practitioners who are interested in u-commerce and improving customer satisfaction.

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。

Introduction: The success of business models in India, such as e-tailing, transportation or online food ordering apps, despite any trend in GDP growth, needs to be evaluated in the context of technology adoption. This paper reviews the business model where small and medium restaurants align with delivery partners and payment gateways for successful coexistence. Objectives: The study aims to explore the dimensions of customer satisfaction of end users and job potential of individual delivery partners by probing whether customer satisfaction and job potential influence success of the online eatery business model and identifying whether success of online eatery business model impacts the benefits derived by participant eateries or restaurants. Theoretical Framework: The research is grounded in Customer Value and Satisfaction (CVS), which underpins the need of new business models that consider customer-supply strategies and continuous improvements as cornerstones of managerial effectiveness. The framework integrates theoretical perspectives that can help build typologies for business model innovation, explaining customer bliss, delivery partner benefits, and advantages for small eateries through partnerships for goals. Methods: A systematic literature review followed by a survey among 120 each of regular users of online food apps, delivery boys and restaurant partners from Kerala was conducted. Structural equation modelling was applied to identify the impact of end customer (diner) satisfaction and delivery partner (biker) benefit on the benefits to the eateries (restaurants). Results and Discussion: Findings reveal that the web support offered by online food apps through interfaces of apps and background support from restaurants had been influential on customer satisfaction. The results validate that customer satisfaction and job potential significantly predicts the success of business model and such success in partnerships for goals directly impacts the benefits derived by eateries. Research Implications: The theoretical and practical implications of this research are highlighted in the need for development of innovative technology and web interfaces that are more user-friendly. Policies should comprehensively integrate the service providers, logistics mechanism and end users. The results of the study if properly applied in eatery and online food delivery models can definitely influence practices in the field of e-businesses and online food delivery. Originality/Value: This study uniquely addresses the effective integration of supplier, logistic partner and final user for enriched customer satisfaction. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the application of innovative partnership for goals in improved customer satisfaction.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the dimensions of service quality (SERVQUAL) from the perspective of the customers and its relationships with perceived overall SERVQUAL in retail banking and also investigate the relationships between perceived overall SERVQUAL and customer trust, customer satisfaction, and bank reputation.Design/methodology/approachA survey questionnaire was constructed, and data were collected from 375 regular customers of local banks. The convenience sampling method was employed to collect data from existing customers of local banks operating in the Klang Valley area of Malaysia. Structural equation modelling was applied to analyse the data.FindingsThe results of the study indicate four key dimensions of SERVQUAL – tangibles, empathy, reliability and security, and internet banking – all of which are significantly and positively related to customers’ perceived overall SERVQUAL. Internet banking facilities are another significant determinant of the perceived overall SERVQUAL. The results are indicative of the strong and positive effect upon customer satisfaction, their trust in the bank, and, finally, a bank’s reputation.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has presented and tested empirical study of perceived overall SERVQUAL model in the banking industry, particularly in the Malaysian context. This research identified the dimensions of SERVQUAL (i.e. tangibles, empathy, reliability and security, and internet banking) that influence the overall perceived SERVQUAL, and how these overall perceptions will eventually influence customer trust, customer satisfaction, and bank reputation is valid and reliable in retail banking industry. This study, however, only focussed on the banking industry. Given the diversity of the service industry, these findings may have to be tested for the applicability to different service industries in future studies.Practical implicationsThis research is useful to bank managers as it helps them improve SERVQUAL to protect and expand their respective market share in a highly competitive industry. Banks could utilise the results of this study to improve their service tangibility, empathy, reliability, and security, which will affect both customer trust and satisfaction, and enhance a bank’s reputation.Social implicationsThe findings of specific dimensions of SERVQUAL will contribute to customer perception of banks’ image and reputation, and strengthen trust and satisfaction. Moreover, assisting customers towards the understanding of how they should received high quality of services with regard to quality should be perceived as emphatic, reliable, secured and tangibility of service.Originality/valueThe findings of this study highlight the specific dimensionalities of SERVQUAL in influencing the perceived overall SERVQUAL. This study will increase the understanding on the impact of perceived overall SERVQUAL on consumer trust, customer satisfaction, and a bank’s reputation. Specifically, it reports an empirical study of a model of perceived overall SERVQUAL that simultaneously considers the direct effects of perceived overall SERVQUAL on customer trust, customer satisfaction and bank reputation.

There is widespread belief that firms should pursue superiority in both customer satisfaction and productivity. However, there is reason to believe these two goals are not always compatible. If a firm improves productivity by “downsizing,” it may achieve an increase in productivity in the short-term, but future profitability may be threatened if customer satisfaction is highly dependent on the efforts of personnel. If so, there are potential tradeoffs between customer satisfaction and productivity for industries as diverse as airlines, banking, education, hotels, and restaurants. Managers in these types of service industries, as well as goods industries in which the service component is increasing, need to understand whether or not this is the case. For example, if efforts to improve productivity can actually harm customer satisfaction—and vice-versa—the downsizing of U.S. and European companies should be viewed with concern. It follows that developing a better understanding of how customer satisfaction and productivity relate to one another is of substantial and growing importance, especially in light of expected continued growth in services throughout the world economy. The objective of this paper is to investigate whether there are conditions under which there are tradeoffs between customer satisfaction and productivity. A review of the literature reveals two conflicting viewpoints. One school of thought argues that customer satisfaction and productivity are compatible, as improvements in customer satisfaction can decrease the time andeffort devoted to handling returns, rework, warranties, and complaint management, while at the same time lowering the cost of making future transactions. The second argues that increasing customer satisfaction should increase costs, as doing so often requires efforts to improve product attributes or overall product design. A conceptual framework useful in resolving these contradictory viewpoints is developed. The framework serves, in turn, as a basis for developing a theoretical model relating customer satisfaction and productivity. The model predicts that customer satisfaction and productivity are less likely to be compatible when: 1) customer satisfaction is relatively more dependent on customization—the degree to which the firm's offering is customized to meet heterogeneous customers' needs—as opposed to standardization—the degree to which the firm's offering is reliable, standardized, and free from deficiencies; and 2) when it is difficult (costly) to provide high levels of both customization and standardization simultaneously. To move forward from the model's propositions to the development of testable hypotheses, we argue that services are more likely than goods to have the preceding characteristics. Hence, tradeoffs between customer satisfaction and productivity should be more prevalent for services than for goods. Although this classification is not precise—many services are standardizable and many goods have a service component—it has the advantage of allowing an initial test of the propositions. The empirical work employs a database matching customer-based measures of firm performance with traditional measures of business performance, such as productivity and Return on Investment (ROI). The central feature of this database is the set of customer satisfaction indices provided by the Swedish Customer Satisfaction Barometer (SCSB). The SCSB provides a uniform set of comparable customer-based firm performance measures and offers a unique opportunity to test the study's hypotheses. The findings indicate that the association between changes in customer satisfaction and changes in productivity is positive for goods, but negative for services. In addition, while both customer satisfaction and productivity are positively associated with ROI for goods and services, the interaction between the two is positive for goods but significantly less so for services. Taken together, the findings suggest support for the contention that tradeoffs are more likely for services. Hence, simultaneous attempts to increase both customer satisfaction and productivity are likely to be more challenging in such industries. Of course, this does not imply that such firms should not seek improvements in both productivity and customer satisfaction. For example, appropriate applications of information technology may improve both customer satisfaction and productivity simultaneously. The findings should provide motivation for future research concerning the nature of customer satisfaction and productivity, as well as appropriate strategy and tactics for each one. It is worth emphasizing that this is an issue that is not only important today, but certainly will become even more important in the future. As the growth of services continues and world markets become increasingly competitive, the importance of customer satisfaction will also increase. To compete in such a world, firms must strike the right balance between their efforts to compete efficiently and their efforts to compete effectively.

Brand equity, price, product quality, customer satisfaction, and the importance of customer loyalty in marketing which is the target and expectation of every company. Marketers expect to be able to retain their customers in the long term, even if possible forever. Therefore, this study wants to examine the factors that affect customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. These factors are brand equity, price, product quality, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty. The required data were obtained through interviews using a questionnaire to 120 respondents. The data obtained were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and SPSS 21 techniques. The results of hypothesis testing prove that brand equity has a positive effect on customer satisfaction, Price is a negative effect on customer satisfaction, Product quality has a positive effect on customer satisfaction, Customer satisfaction has a positive effect on customer loyalty, Brand Equity has a positive effect on customer loyalty, Price is a negative effect on customer loyalty, Product quality has a positive effect on customer loyalty, brand equity has a positive effect on customer loyalty through customer satisfaction, the price is a negative effect on customer loyalty through customer satisfaction, product quality has a positive effect on customer loyalty through customer satisfaction. Based on the results of testing the hypothesis, several managerial implications can be drawn, namely, that loyalty can be increased by increasing customer satisfaction, brand equity, price, and product quality. This is done by providing competitive prices according to the quality of the product. If the quality of the product is increased, the price will not affect the customer if it is increased, so automatically satisfaction will be formed, by itself a strong customer loyalty is formed. So it can be said that price does not affect in determining the level of customer satisfaction and customer loyalty because other very strong variables shape satisfaction and loyalty. High prices do not guarantee customers will be satisfied as well if the price of the product is cheap as long as the price is still reasonable for substitution category goods.
