Impact of Service Quality and Perceived Value on Customer Satisfaction and Behavioral Intentions: Evidence from Convenience Stores in Vietnam

Abstract

This research investigates the relationship among product quality, service quality, perceived value, customer satisfaction, and behavior intentions. Validated measurements were identified from a literature review. The measurement model and the conceptual model depicting hypothesized relationships were evaluated based on responses from 220 customers using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The testing results show that, for the direct path, product quality has a significant, positive influence on customer satisfaction, and behavioral intentions. Also, perceived value directly influences customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions and satisfaction is an antecedent of behavioral intentions. For the indirect path, service quality has a significant, positive influence on behavioral intentions through the customer satisfaction. The major finding of this study suggest that service quality easily attract more customers, especially the young consumers. About the sale personnel, communication skills, knowledge and ways of treatment to customers are crucial to retailers to gain competitive advantage over competitors. Therefore, it should have clear and consistent processes, procedures with criteria that create the best condition for organization and individual to open this kind of retailing store. Furthermore, product quality improvement is essential; all products must have clear originality; and diversifying products and services is also the way to appeal more consumers.

Sustainable Development and Consumer Behavior in Rural Tourism—The Importance of Image and Loyalty for Host Communities

Service quality in higher education: Applying HEdPERF scale in Vietnamese universities

“…For instance, the expectancy-disconfirmation principle underpins the service quality definition, closely related to customer satisfaction (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1985). Grönroos (1982) and Tran and Le (2020) illustrated that service quality affects the importance of an experience, the quality of a partnership, and the likelihood of purchasing. Despite the significant consequences for administrators, researchers, customers, service efficiency, experience meaning, interaction quality, and action motives, they are all poorly understood in current literature.…”

“…This research integrates HEdPERF with the traditional two-dimensional model of service quality to merge general and context-based viewpoints, detect the effects on student satisfaction of technical and functional service quality, and the relations between HEdPERF and two dimensions of service quality. Tran and Le (2020) found that the quality of service affects the importance of customer experience, the strength of a partnership, and the likelihood of making a purchase. Despite the critical implications for management, academics, and customers, service efficiency, experience meaning, interaction quality, and action motives are all poorly understood in current literature.…”
