Comparison-based perceived attribute performance as a better antecedent of satisfaction, value and loyalty

Abstract

Purpose Product performance measurements have been used to explain other business performance variables. The purpose of this paper is to propose that, regarding Mexican consumers, the “comparison-based perceived attribute performance” (CAP) approach is a better predictor of outcomes, such as satisfaction, value and loyalty, compared with the traditional measurement of “non-comparison-based perceived attribute performance” (NCAP). These two forms of assessing attribute-level performance may be considered as different constructs. Design/methodology/approach Using these two approaches, empirical tests were performed to attribute performance measurement and were conducted on products from two different categories: tequila and liquid dishwashing detergent. Regression analyses were performed using Mexican consumer samples of n=295 and n=239, respectively. Findings As opposed to NCAP, CAP measurements yielded higher statistical levels of satisfaction, value and loyalty for both product categories. In the case of tequila, factor analysis indicated a clear separation between the two types of measurements, suggesting that they should be considered distinct constructs. However, this was not found for the other product category. Originality/value CAP, which has better potential to predict outcomes than NCAP, could have relevant implications in brand positioning assessment and importance-performance analyses.

Drivers of soccer fan loyalty: Australian evidence on the influence of team brand image, fan engagement, satisfaction and enduring involvement

“…On this basis, CFS was used in this study. Satisfaction's relationship to loyalty is well documented (Anderson et al, 1994;Bodet, 2008;Brunner et al, 2008;Kumar et al, 2013;Vera-Martinez and Ornelas, 2019), where cumulative satisfaction is antecedent to loyalty (Oliver, 1999). We argue that CFS is the better predictor of loyalty than transaction-specific satisfaction (Bodet, 2008;Koenigstorfer et al, 2010;Olsen and Johnson, 2003) for the sports context, where research has found cumulative satisfaction to be positively related to attitudinal and behavioural fan loyalty (Biscaia et al, 2012(Biscaia et al, , 2017Clemes et al, 2011;Gray and Wert-Gray, 2012).…”

Storescape and customer loyalty: employee citizenship behaviour towards customers as a catalyst

“…Chen and Wang (2009) stated that a major reason for customers to continue a relationship with a company is their positive evaluation of customers of the received products or services. The findings of many studies indicated the impact of CS on loyalty (Pic on et al, 2014;Thaichon and Quach, 2015;Vera-Martinez and Ornelas, 2019). For instance, the literature in consumer behaviour confirmed that when customers are satisfied, they are more likely to repeat buying goods and services and show loyalty in comparison with unsatisfied customers (Thaichon and Quach, 2015).…”

Examining the effect of emotional branding in building brand equity of social marketing campaigns: a case on Swachh Bharat, India

“…When a customer has a positive attitude toward a brand, he/she will have a strong preference and bring a lot of satisfaction and loyalty Manohar, 2017;Ganesan et al, 2017;Vera-Martinez and Ornelas, 2019). Though existing literature indicates a positive relationship between brand attitude and various dimensions of brand equity, there is a dearth of literature indicating empirically the effect of one variable on the other.…”
