2.5 LITERATURE REVIEW

Literature review means, the body of written work produced by scholars or researchers in a given field.

According to Rust and Subramanian (1995), customer satisfaction brings many benefits as satisfied customers are not very price sensitive, buy additional products, are less influenced by competitors and stay loyal longer. Rust and Subramanian (1995) stated that customer satisfaction has been deemed directly to affect customer retention and companies' market share (Rust & Subramanian, 1995). In banks, service quality, service features, and customer-complaint handling determine customer satisfaction (Hansemark & Albinsson, 2004). Some factors that affect satisfaction are extended hours of operation and competitive interest rates as confirmed by the study of Levesque and McDougall (1996). In addition, there are researchers who discuss the links between satisfaction, loyalty, and profitability (Heskett et al, 1994). They are proponents of the theory called service management, which argues that "customer satisfaction is the result of a customer's perception of the value received in a transaction or relationship relative to the value expected from transactions or relationships with competing vendors. Pertaining to this theory, Hansemark and Albinsson (2004) stated: "Loyalty behaviours, including relationship continuance, increased scale or scope of relationship, and recommendation (word of mouth advertising) result from customers' beliefs that the quantity of value received from one supplier is greater than that available from other suppliers" (p.28). They continued: "Loyalty, in one or more of the forms noted above, creates increased profit through enhanced revenues, reduced costs to acquire customers, lower customer-
