Abstract

The trustworthy of customers’ loyalty intentions towards the service provider has been the concern of many marketing scholars. This paper examines the drivers of three levels of customers' loyalty (i.e. firm loyalty, employee-owned loyalty, customer-to-customer loyalty). Findings showed that social and functional benefits received from a preferred service employee or other close customers have differential effects on the three levels of loyalty.

Item Type: Conference or workshop item (Proceeding)
