Zulganef Zulganef, Irma Nilasari

Abstract


This study aims to determine the effect of service experience on repurchase intention, by looking at the mediating role of customer satisfaction and moderation of perceived quality. This research was conducted on students at several universities who use online business applications, with a total of 250 respondents. Research data was collected online, and respondents were asked to fill out a questionnaire distributed through Google Forms. The results of this study indicate that service experience has an effect on customer satisfaction and repurchase intention. The findings of this study also indicate that customer satisfaction mediates the relationship between service experience and repurchase intention. Finally, this study looks at the moderating role of perceived quality, and finds that perceived quality can moderate the relationship between service experience and customer satisfaction, the relationship between customer satisfaction and repurchase intention, and the indirect relationship of service experience on repurchase intention through customer satisfaction.

Akhirnya, penelitian ini melihat peran moderasi persepsi kualitas, dan menemukan bahwa kualitas yang dirasakan dapat memoderasi hubungan antara pengalaman layanan dan kepuasan pelanggan, hubungan antara kepuasan pelanggan dan niat membeli kembali, dan hubungan tidak langsung dari pengalaman layanan pada niat pembelian kembali melalui kepuasan pelanggan.
