Abstract

This study proposes and tests an integrative model to examine the relations among service quality, value, image, satisfaction, and loyalty in Iran.

Thus, image has both a direct and indirect (through value and satisfaction) impact on customer loyalty. Customer satisfactions mediate the impact of service quality, value, and corporate image on customer loyalty.
