Strengthening Customer Loyalty through Intimacy and Passion: Roles of Customer–Firm Affection and Customer–Staff Relationships in Services
Open accessAbstract
This study extends the existing satisfaction–trust–loyalty paradigm to investigate how customers’ affectionate ties with firms (customer–firm affection)—in particular, the components of intimacy and passion—affect customer loyalty in services. In a bilevel model, the authors consider customer–staff and customer–firm interactions in parallel. Through a netnography study and survey research in two service contexts, they confirm (1) the salience of intimacy and passion as two underrecognized components of customer–firm affection that influence customer loyalty, (2) the complementary and mediating role of customer–firm affection in strengthening customer loyalty, (3) significant affect transfers from the customer–staff to the customer–firm level, and (4) the dilemma that emerges when customer–staff relationships are too close. The findings provide several implications for researchers and managers regarding how intimacy and passion can enrich customer service interactions and how to manage customer–staff relationships properly.

“All factor loadings are highly significant (p < .001),composite reliabilities of all constructs are greater than .75, and all variance extracted (AVE) estimates (except hair salon firm trust) are greater than .50(Fornell and Larcker 1981); therefore, the measures demonstrate adequate convergent validity and reliability.”

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Fast-food loyalty path has the opposite sign
MinorThe paper says the nonsignificant fast-food effect is in the hypothesized positive direction, but Table 3 reports a negative coefficient of −.064.
“the effect of staff loyalty intentions on firm loyalty intentions is not significant (though in the hypothesized direction) in the fast food context.”
“Staff loyalty intentions Firm loyalty intentions -.064 (-1.096) .207**(2.795)”
Fast-food measurement-model chi-square differs
MinorThe results text reports a chi-square of 464 for the fast-food confirmatory model, while the appendix reports 452 with the same degrees of freedom.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
