Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to analyze the impact and predictive capacity of organizational culture on both customer loyalty and organizational performance in health clubs using data from managers and customers of health clubs in Spain.

Design/methodology/approach

A total of 101 managers were asked to measure organizational culture and organizational performance and 2,931 customers were asked to indicate their customer loyalty. The proposed hypotheses were tested and their predictability assessed through PLS-SEM. A composite concept was adopted to analyze the relationships between the different constructs and their indicators.

Findings

The findings suggest that organizational culture has a positive relationship with both customer loyalty and organizational performance. The four main dimensions of organizational culture that influence this relationship are, in order of significance, organizational presence, formalization, atmosphere and service-equipment. The authors’ model has a very good predictive power for both dependent variables.

Originality/value

Customer loyalty is an aspect of health clubs that can be improved. This study highlights the importance of creating a strong organizational culture in health clubs, as it enhances and predicts customer loyalty and organizational performance. Its predictability has already been tested with samples of managers and customers, with the analysis being performed from the perspective of the organization’s management and customer perceptions. This study also contributes to the field of sport management, using a predictive PLS-SEM technique.

研究目的

本论文旨在分析组织文化对于健身俱乐部客户忠诚度和组织绩效的影响力和推导力,以西班牙健身俱乐部经理和客人为研究样本。

研究设计/方法/途径

共有 101 名健身俱乐部经理和 2,931 名客人构成本论文研究样本,分别采集了经理们对于组织文化的态度和健身俱乐部客人们对于客户忠诚度的态度。本论文采用偏最小二乘回归(PLS-SEM)验证假设。本论文借用一个综合概念以分析不同结构和其自变量的关系。

研究结果

组织文化对客户忠诚度和组织绩效有积极促进作用。组织文化的四大维度包括,以影响力排序,组织存在、正规化、氛围、和服务-设备等。本论文模型对于客户忠诚度和组织绩效有很好的推导力。

研究原创性/价值

客户忠诚度是值得健身俱乐部加强的。本论文强调了健身俱乐部中组织文化的重要性,这是因为它增强和促进客户忠诚度和组织绩效。其促进和推导力已经由本论文借用经理和客人的样本,从组织管理者和客户两方面角度,实际验证。本论文采用推导性PLS-SEM方法,还对体育管理领域有着贡献。

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to verify the existence of loyalty among fast-food customers and its dependence on fast-food service quality, comprising service quality, food quality and store atmosphere. This study also examines the direct and mediating role of constructs such as satisfaction and trust in creating loyalty in fast-food restaurants (FFRs).

Design/methodology/approach

A sample of 456 fast-food customers was collected using a structured questionnaire. This paper uses partial least squares path modeling to test and validate the study’s research model and hypotheses.

Findings

The results suggest that fast-food service quality has a positive influence on satisfaction, trust and loyalty among fast-food customers. The findings also reveal a mediating effect of trust (partial mediation), increasing the effect of satisfaction on loyalty.

Practical implications

This study reinforces the importance of considering the attributes that influence customer loyalty. Specifically, food quality is considered key to increasing loyalty among FFR customers.

Originality/value

This study proposes an integrated model influenced by three factors that contribute to fast-food service quality (i.e. food quality, service quality, atmosphere) along with classical variables used in the marketing literature (i.e. satisfaction, trust) in the creation of FFR loyalty. This study also follows modern procedures in PLS-SEM by challenging conventional methods.

研究目的

本论文旨在验证快餐消费者的忠诚度及其与快餐质量之间的关系, 其中质量包括服务质量、食物质量、和饭店氛围。本论文还旨在检验满意度和信任度在快餐饭店(FFRs)的消费者忠诚中的直接和间接作用。

研究设计/方法/途径

本论文采用结构问卷采样形式, 456位快餐消费者为问卷样本。本论文采用偏最小二乘回归(PLS)的路径建模数据分析方法来分析和验证模型及假设。

研究结果

快餐服务质量对于快餐消费者的满意度、信任度、和忠诚度有着积极促进作用。此外, 本论文发现信任度对于增加满意度对忠诚度的影响有着中介调节作用(部分中介调节)。

研究实践意义

本论文重新提出了影响消费者忠诚度的各种因素。具体是, 食物质量是增加FFR消费者忠诚度的重中之重。

研究原创性/价值

本论文提出一体化模型包括三种快餐服务衡量因子(食物质量、服务质量、环境)以及营销文献中常用变量(满意度、信任度), 来检验FFR忠诚度。本论文还挑战传统研究方法, 采用PLS-SEM现代程序来进行分析研究。
