The influence of brand experience and service quality on customer engagement
Abstract
The study draws upon an existing conceptual model of customer engagement and examines how customer and firm based factors are related to customer engagement with a focus on the airline industry. Customer-based factors included in this study are brand experience and brand love; whereas firm-based factors are inflight service quality. The data were collected in one of European airports. The results show that customer-based factors are significantly related to customer engagement. In particular brand experience exerts significant direct and indirect effects on customer engagement. Whilst it does enhance passengers' brand experience, particularly the service by flight attendants, inflight service quality has a minimal effect on customer engagement. The implications of the findings are offered for researchers and practitioners to conclude the paper.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
