Abstract

An empirical study is conducted on a full-service Chinese Restaurant in a Hong Kong university to investigate moderating roles customer characteristics play in the satisfaction-loyalty link. The hypotheses over the moderating effects of age, education and lengthen of relationship are formulated and examined. The results of Chow-test show that the relationship is moderated by age and lengthen of relationship in this case. In particular, a stronger impact is identified for older customers and those with a longer relationship with the university. The managerial and theoretical implications as derived from the current findings are discussed.
