Abstract :
Empirical studies have consistently identified consumer satisfaction as a key antecedent to reuse behavior. Business has focused on consumer satisfaction as a way to improve consumer loyalty. However, it remains unknown why there are so many satisfied consumers who do not show reuse behavior. Therefore, the present study examined the potential factors moderating the association between consumer satisfaction and reuse behavior. A literature review and focus groups were used to explore moderating variables, and hierarchical regression analysis was used to test their influence. The results showed that the relationship between consumer satisfaction and actual reuse behavior is contingent upon the moderating effects of customer involvement and corporate activities. In particular, the relationship between consumer satisfaction and actual reuse behavior is more sensitive when customer involvement is lower.
