摘要

In this study a path analytic model of brand loyalty was developed to investigate the relationship among image congruence, customer satisfaction, and brand loyalty in the lodging industry. Many researchers have studied the effects of image congruence on customers' attitude toward the brand in terms of their intention to purchase. Despite efforts to investigate the relationship between image congruence and pre-purchasing behavior, only a limited number of studies have been conducted to measure how image congruence and incongruence affect post-purchase behaviors—namely customer satisfaction and brand loyalty—especially in the lodging industry. The major objective of this research was to develop a brand loyalty measurement based on a critical review of the literature and investigation of numerous empirical studies. Furthermore, the study was extended to identify the relationship among image congruence, customer satisfaction, and brand loyalty in the lodging industry. In particular, this study focused on investigating the mediating effects of attitudinal brand loyalty on the relationship between customer satisfaction and behavioral brand loyalty in the lodging industry.; A field survey was conducted to collect data. The sample included 194 customers of a national chain hotel in North Carolina. The data were collected via self-administered questionnaire, including multiple scales of each construct and demographic inquiries. The collected data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling.; Key findings indicate that customer satisfaction is positively related to social and ideal social image congruence. Also, results provided evidence of a positive association between customer satisfaction and attitudinal brand loyalty. It was also found that customer satisfaction was positively associated with behavioral brand loyalty when mediated by attitudinal brand loyalty.; This study develops a repeat purchasing behavior model of lodging customers. This study also contributes to the existing brand loyalty studies by assessing the relationship between attitudinal and behavioral brand loyalty in the lodging industry. Further, it discusses the theoretical and managerial implications of the findings and the limitations of the study methods.
