Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
This thesis is prompted by the discussions around Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in the financial industry and life insurance companies in particular. The study seeks to gain better understanding of the influence that CRM has on Customer Loyalty in a selected South African life insurance company. While CRM has been approached by academics and practitioners from different perspectives, literature seems to be viewed as inconsistent and fragmented on this concept. The concept of CRM is a new approach by management in South Africa and it is due to this fact that there are not sufficient studies on it. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the influence of Customer Relationship Management on customer loyalty in Metropolitan. To achieve this purpose, a questionnaire was distributed amongst selected Metropolitan customer service offices nationally and a selected number of customers were approached to participate in the study. The findings show that Customer Relationship Management has an influence on customer loyalty and that Metropolitan does employ the principles of Customer Relationship Management.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Ciências Empresariais
The global market is constantly evolving which means companies need to continuously innovate their businesses and understand new ways to keep in touch with their customers. One way to do it is by resorting to Information Technologies (IT) such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM). This kind of information system allows companies to gather data from their customers and transform it into information they can use to better achieve any expectations their clients may have while engaging in closer relationships with them. However, not all companies can successfully adopt or implement a CRM system, and because of that, they may lose their investments or worse, their customers. The purpose of this research is to find an answer to the question – What factors can help companies adopt a successful CRM system? To answer it, it is necessary to understand what aspects marketing and information systems (IS) professionals think as essential to successfully adopt the system. To accomplish this, we build two instruments based on a previous work (Pedron, 2009) in which a set of fundamental objectives (23) and a set of means objectives (49) were identified as influencing factors of a successful CRM system adoption. Using a sample of about 200 professionals we applied Churchill’s (1979) recommendations regarding the item’s purification. All data gathered was analysed through exploratory factor analysis and, consequently, an output resulted with all the factors perceived as important by the professionals that can indeed help with the adoption of a CRM system. Although there are several studies about CRM adoption they are mainly exploratory. Indeed, no measures of CRM adoption success have been previously proposed. This study tries to fulfil this gap in the literature by proposing and validating two instruments for assessing the CRM adoption success.
O mercado mundial está em constante evolução, o que significa que as empresas necessitam de continuamente inovar os seus negócios e passar a entender novas formas para se manter em contato com os seus clientes. Uma forma de o fazer é através do recurso às Tecnologias de Informação (TI), como é o caso do Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Este tipo de sistema de informação permite que as empresas recolham dados dos seus clientes e transformem-nos em informação que poderão usar para conseguir atingir da melhor forma as suas expectativas, ao mesmo tempo que se tentam relacionar de forma mais estreita com estes. No entanto, nem todas as empresas conseguem adotar ou implementar um sistema de CRM com sucesso, e por isso, arriscam-se a perder investimentos ou pior, clientes. O objetivo deste trabalho é o de encontrar uma resposta para a pergunta - Quais os fatores que podem ajudar as empresas a adotar um sistema de CRM de sucesso? Para responder a essa questão, é necessário entender quais os aspetos que tanto profissionais de marketing como de sistemas de informação (SI) têm como essencial para adotar com sucesso o sistema. Para tal, vamos construir dois instrumentos com base num trabalho anterior (Pedron, 2009), no qual um conjunto de fundamental objectives (23) e um conjunto de mean objectives (49) foram identificados como fatores influenciadores para uma correta adoção do sistema CRM. Através de uma amostra de cerca de 200 profissionais utilizámos as recomendações de Churchill (1979) sobre a purificação de itens. Todos os dados recolhidos foram analisados por meio da análise fatorial exploratória, do qual resultou um output composto por todos os fatores percebidos como importantes pelos profissionais que podem realmente ajudar na adoção de um sistema de CRM. Embora haja vários estudos sobre a adoção de CRM estes são principalmente exploratórios. Ainda nenhuma forma de medição de sucesso da adoção do CRM foi até então proposta. Este estudo tenta preencher essa lacuna na literatura, propondo e validando dois instrumentos para avaliar o sucesso da adoção do CRM.

Abstract:
Social media has become one of the main platforms for telling stories, not only for individualsbut also for corporations of all sizes. The published content on these platforms can be assimple as a picture or lines of text as long as they captures the attentions of other users theywill qualify as a digital story or narrative. This opens up for effortless interaction betweencustomers and corporation, but also for value creation alongside the two parties. Otherresearchers has contributed with different takes of how this value creation can be conductedand defined. Our contribution aims to closer examine how consumer interaction and valuecreation can strengthen digital narratives. We will not aim to standardise how a digital storyshould be told, but provide guidelines for designing narratives that include the public as astory contributor by seeing if there is a correlation between the choice of social mediaplatforms used and the type of stories the organizations narrate.

Abstract:
South Africa is ranked 44th place out of 53 countries (IMD 2011). It would seem imperative for the South African Government and the private sector to pay close attention to studies of this nature that indicate the importance of certain factors on the motivation of employees. In essence this study could assist Government and the private sector in understanding the importance of different factors that influence motivation of employees and the profitability of organisations. Should organisations re-align their focus on motivation of employees by taking cognisance of the elements addressed in this study, it could have a positive effect on the productivity of individual firms as well as on national productivity. The purpose of this study was to establish which motivational factors have an effect on the motivation of employees that would affect their individual, the organisational performance and customer satisfaction. The study aimed at firstly identifying motivational factors that has an influence on organisational performance. Secondly, investigating the effect of employee performance on organisational performance and thirdly investigating the impact of employee performance on customer satisfaction. The primary objective of this study was to establish which motivational factors have an effect on the motivation of employees thus affecting their individual and organisational performance and customer satisfaction. The relationship between work motivation, performance and productivity is complex. Although work motivation seems to have a significant impact on performance and productivity, it is certainly not the only influencing factor (Fisher, Katz, Miller & Thatcher 2003:82). Research has indicated that besides motivation, productivity is influenced by a variety of factors which could include the employee’s ability, skills, training, and availability of resources, management practices and economic conditions. In the light of the above, this study endeavoured to establish which dominant motivational factors have an influence on employee, corporate performance and customer satisfaction. Different motivational factors including hygiene factors, such as attitude, job satisfaction, rewards, leadership styles and communication were discussed as well as their influence on employee and organisational performance Information was gathered through secondary research. The investigation also included an exploration of different research methodologies, methods of data collection and analysis for this specific study. The main empirical research findings indicated that there is a positive relationship between motivator factors and employee performance as well as between management communication and employee performance. It is recommended that a policy and control manual should be compiled and distributed to new employees as part of their induction programme. The policies should be updated annually to incorporate changes in the organisation and to indicate to employees that management is serious about creating positive relationships between employees and employers. There is also a positive relationship between employee performance and organisational performance. It is recommended that organisations implement employee performance management systems that link to organisational performance goals in order to be able to critically access the performance of the employee in relation to the broader goals and results of an organisation. The relationship between motivational factors and customer satisfaction should however be investigated further. There seems to be different views in the literature on whether customer satisfaction surveys (or other measurements) should be used to support this relationship.

In high-contact services, customer compliance to employee’s instructions and advice is one of the reasons that bring positive service outcomes. Although academic research urges attention to customer compliance, little research investigates the factors in service settings contexts that influence customer compliance. Given that, this paper emphasizes the positive effects of customer’s subjective congruence on customer compliance, and the following influence on consequences of customer compliance. This study collects data from 418 customers in high-contact services, and examines through structural equation modeling (SEM) to develop and test a conceptual framework. Results show that customer-employee goal congruence, customer-employee value congruence, customer-brand congruence, and customer-environment congruence positive influence customer compliance, which in turn positive effects customer satisfaction and anticipation of future participation.

“Loyalty Programs” is a necessary and important step in the formation of relationship marketing. However, not only been applied in practice but also been researched by academia, there are still some gaps because of lack of a complete frame to analyze the vales of the loyalty programs. Therefore this research aims to fill-in the gaps that past practice and academics have failed by providing a conceptual frame by studying related literatures of loyalty programs and takes advantage of the frame to analyze the relationships among those values, relationship quality and customer loyalty in the telecom industry. The results of this study find that four values of nine values in the frame, including “economic value”, “choice of redemption options”, “relevance” and “social benefits” will influence relationship quality and customer loyalty in the telecom industry. However, customers still care more about economic value and relevance. The corporations in the industry can increase customer loyalty by designing high level of economic value and relevance. But if those would like to build higher level of relationship with the customers, they have to take advantage of social benefits through which to build strong and long customers loyalty. Therefore through this frame, the corporations can realize which value they should attach importance to. The results also prove the effectiveness of the loyalty program conceptual frame.

In the highly competitive service markets, firms are recognizing the importance of customer retention. Retaining customers bring companies higher margins and faster growth. While relationship investment, relationship quality and switching barriers have been individually addressed by past studies, there has been little research integrating them with customer retention. With data collected from chained health clubs and SEM analysis, this research investigates whether a service provider can achieve customer retention through such customer relationship management practices. The results suggest that relationship investment positively affects relationship quality, leading to higher switching barriers, lower alternative attractiveness, and ultimate customer retention. Given the research findings, managerial implications and suggestions for future research are then discussed.

Customer gratitude has long been considered the emotion core of reciprocal behaviors. Past research regarding customer gratitude mainly focused on long-term customer relationship marketing initiated by service firms. Even though recent studies have brought customer gratitude from organization level to frontline employee level, having indicated that short-term employee extra-role behavior in service encounters could lead to customer gratitude, the concept of employee extra-role behavior still requires further examination. In view of this, the research aims to identify different aspects underlying frontline employee extra-role behavior, categorizing it into pampering behavior and adaptive service behavior. A theoretical framework was developed to explore the influence of the behaviors on customer gratitude, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Data collected from 204 customers was examined through structural equation modeling (SEM). Results indicated that two kinds of employee extra-role behaviors effectively led to customer gratitude, customer satisfaction, and further influenced customer loyalty.

The recent rise of professional sporting and health clubs in Taiwan indicates a general need for the popular recreational market. It has become a propeller for business operators to improve and elevate competitiveness by satisfying customers with their needs. Taiwan’s health club industry has a history of twenty years. In terms of management concept and business models, however, there have been differences among the business operators. The two leading brands of Taiwan’s recreational and health industry, Youth Camp Health Group and Alexander Health Club, encountered financial difficulties and thus forced to close down in 2005 and 2007, respectively, causing a dramatic change in the industry. Costumer satisfaction regarding provided services and facilities is highly related to customer’s will to continue membership. That is, the lower satisfaction on services and facilities, the lower customer returning rate. Based on this concept, this research is to analyze the relationship between health club customer’s perceived value and customer satisfaction. Using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the research shows that customer’s perceived value is in direct proportion with customer satisfaction, while customer choices are based on product reliability, sustainability, price rationality, entertainment quality and services. The analysis acts as a reference for recreational business operators, suggesting that they keep an eye on the shifts and changes of customer perceived value and proceed to a better marketing strategy that meets customer needs. With an efficient marketing strategy and high customer satisfaction, an increase of customer returning rate will take place.

Service encounters often occur in the presence of multiple customers who share the servciescape with one another. It is evident that customers affect one another both indirectly, simply by being part of the same environment, and more directly, through specific interpersonal encounters (Martin, 1996). While there is some evidence that customer-to-customer interaction has a negative impact on customer satisfaction with the firm (e.g. Bitner et al., 1994; Groveand Fisk, 1997; Harris and Reynolds, 2003), none of these studies have focused specifically on answering why customers who are upset by other customers blame the firm rather than the specific misbehaving individuals, which in turn leads to customer dissatisfaction? The purpose of this study is to investigate this link, to predict what sort of causal attribution can lead to a firm’s assumed responsibility in case of other-customer failure. A 2 (controllability attribution: controllable vs. uncontrollable) × 2 (stability attribution: unstable vs. stable) × 2 (globality attribution: specific vs. global) between-subject factorial design was used to test our predictions. Subjects were exposed to a written scenario describing other-customer misbehavior in a restaurant. A restaurant context was chosen as appropriate for this study since real-life dysfunctional customer behavior is common in this industry (Harris and Reynolds, 2003). The results of this study show that: (1) Customers were less satisfied and less willing to repurchase, and were more likely to engaging in negative WOM, when they attributed the cause of other-customer failure to be more controllable than uncontrollable by the firm; (2) customers showed lower satisfaction, repurchase intentions, and higher negative WOM, when they attributed the cause of other-customer failure to be stable than unstable in the firm, and (3) globality attributions moderate the effects of controllability and stability attributions on customers’ service evaluations. That is, subjects in the specific condition reported lower satisfaction, repurchase intentions, and higher negative WOM, when they attributed the cause of other-customer failure to be controllable (stable) than uncontrollable (unstable) by the firm. Conversely, subjects in the global condition reported insignificant difference in the ratings of satisfaction, repurchase intentions, and negative WOM, whether the cause of other-customer failure be attributed as controllable (stable) or uncontrollable (unstable) to the firm.

Because of the equivalently high-quality service and similar service content, the performance of the service staff is a major factor that impacts large-scale convenience store chains. The purpose of this research is to discuss the relationship between a service staff that offers empathy-oriented professional enthusiasm to understanding customer needs, and the influence that has over customer satisfaction and their repurchase intentions. To obtain the above mentioned research objective, this study uses physical retail store customers of 7-ELEVEN as research subjects, adopts a paper questionnaire survey that received 343 valid return copies, and utilizes two stages analysis. This research results show the empathetic attitude of the service staff has a positive effect on customer satisfaction. The empathetic attitude of the service staff has a positive effect on the image of the nonphysical store. The image of a nonphysical store has a positive effect on customer satisfaction. The image of a nonphysical store has some mediating effect on the influence of the service staff’s empathetic attitude on customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction has a positive effect on their repurchase intention. Customer satisfaction has some mediating effect on the influence of the service staff’s empathetic attitude on customers’ repurchase intention. In this study, demographic variables were used in to analyze the reasons that consumers opt to shop in 7-Eleven, an international chain of convenience stores. Findings of this research are given below to show our study.

Those who opt to shop in 7-Eleven place importance on “vicinity and convenience,” “a full line of merchandise,” “spaciousness and comfort” and “satisfactory services,” while consumers who deem empathy critical consider the need to enhance empathy that will increase the repurchase intention. Overall, a service staff’s empathy can heighten a customer’s positive intentions. Hence, the franchise retail operators should enhance the service staff’s empathy, so as to improve the image of the nonphysical store and customer satisfaction, and in turn create a service quality with a higher implicit value for the daily consumption of their customers.

The era of artificial intelligence (AI) has driven the rise of financial technology (FinTech). Many banks, such as CTBC Bank, E.SUN Bank and O-Bank, have begun to actively implement FinTech services and technologies. Bank lobby’s receptionist robot, online banking’s financial management robot, smart customer service robot, etc., are all examples of FinTech’s smart customer services. All the banks hope to provide the public with faster and more convenient services through FinTech, as well as to enhance service quality and its connotation, thereby increasing customer loyalty to the bank. Therefore, this study focused on the changes in the bank’s service quality and connotation of service quality brought about by FinTech’s smart customer service, and observed how they relate to, and impact, customer loyalty. The study observed whether it would cause different results and differences in customer loyalty if customers understood or used smart customer service in a physical bank or online banking. Through the research results, this study aimed to provide specific suggestions for the implementation of smart customer service in the financial industry. The samples were collected via physical and online questionnaire, in which the research subjects were customers who had or had not experienced smart customer service in a physical bank or online banking. A subsequent examination was then carried out through regression analysis. The results of this study show that for customers who had used smart customer service in a physical bank, if the empathy and assurance of the connotation of service quality were more positive, the impact on customer loyalty was greater, with assurance having the greatest impact on customer loyalty, followed by empathy. On the other hand, for customers who had used smart customer service in online banking, if the personnel quality and interactive quality of service quality, as well as the assurance and empathy of connotation of service quality were more positive, the impact on customer loyalty was greater. Hence, for banks to develop FinTech’s smart customer service, top priorities should be given to personal interaction and interactive service quality, and assurance and empathy of service quality connotation. That is to say, smart customer service’s personnel behavior, interactive quality, assurance, empathy and reliability are factors that customers care most about. Hopefully, the study’s results can help the financial industry better understand which factors are more important in regard to service quality and connotation of service quality, and pay more attention to them while implementing smart customer service, so as to increase customer loyalty to the banks.

As technology advances, the flood of information expansion and globalization, the competition becomes increasingly fierce and has become more and more difficult to maintain consumer loyalty. Thus, the new idea of consumer empowerment strategy came into being, namely, the marketing strategies for corporations do not simply emphasize products and services, but common experiences and interactions with customers, the process of creating value, and maintenance of long-term relationships. For consumers, their satisfaction in the process of purchases that allows consumers' objectives to be achieved smoothly and further keep a long-term relationship with corporations will reduce purchase risks and searching costs. Due to a rapidly shortened lifespan of products or services, “innovation” becomes an important factor that influences the maintenance of long-term customer relationships. This research focuses on customer empowered strategies of the supplier of Harley Davidson and the strength of relationships with their customer groups. It is hoped that a thorough understanding of customers' behavior is generated from the characteristics of innovation adoption and the potential influence on the strength of their relationships. This research targets members of the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Club to conduct a survey of 250 valid questionnaires that were obtained through convenience sampling. After studying variables for statistical analysis, this research confirms the correlation between customer empowerment and customer relationships, however, there is negative correlation between customers’ characteristics of innovation adoption and the strength of relationships, but customers’ commitment and connections can enhance interaction with the supplier, and further enter long-term cooperation, striving for greater benefits for both sides.

In the past, scholars have explored many factors that affect the Customer Loyalty. According to the Theory of American Customer Satisfaction Index:Customer Perceived Value, Customer Satisfaction will affect Customer Loyalty.

Previous studies indicated that employee affective delivery affects customer emotions, which in turn influence the emotional contagion between employees and customers, resulting in satisfaction and customer behavioral intentions as well. In addition, customer engagement has emerged as a new issue in many fields, but the research exploring the relationship between customer engagement and employee affective delivery is scant. Based on the theory of emotional contagion and customer engagement, this study investigates antecedents and consequences of customer engagement, and thus provides a more comprehensive model. From literature review, two critical antecedents (employee affective delivery and customer emotion) and two consequences (customer satisfaction and loyalty) of customer engagement are included in this study. In other words, the mediating effects of customer engagement on the relationships of employee affective delivery and customer loyalty behaviors are under investigation With convenience sampling method and a customer survey in hair salon business context, this study obtained 642 usable observations. Structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques are employed to test hypotheses and major findings are as follows. Firstly, employee affective delivery positively influences customer emotions, cooperation and customer satisfaction. Secondly, customer emotions positively affect cooperation, participation, customer satisfaction and loyalty intentions. Third, cooperation positively influences participation and loyalty, but fails to impact customer satisfaction. Fourth, participation enhances customer satisfaction and loyalty. Finally, customer satisfaction triggers loyalty as expected.

The statistics from Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan, indicates that service industry accounted for 73.2% of the country’s aggregate GDP in 2008, and that the ratio has been increasing year on year, showing service sector’s greater contribution to Taiwan’s economy. As Peter F. Drucker, the father of modern management, put it, “New economy is service economy, and service is the source of competitive advantage.”,”The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer.", servitized organizations characterize today’s society and mark that Taiwan is moving toward a service-oriented economy. The first Cross-strait Service Industry Forum kicked off on May 26th, 2011, where it has been manifested that service industry has increasingly taken on greater significance in terms of development of cross-strait economy, and that the bilateral cooperation in the service industry became the focus since the ECFA (The Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement) was signed by Taiwan and China governments. It was also pointed out that the future direction of Taiwan’s service industry would move toward the burgeoning markets in China and other Asia regions. There are plenty of researches concerning service quality, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty, most of which were analyzed by industry, while real estate industry has been rarely considered as the research subject on similar topics to investigate the above factors’ influence upon customer repurchase intention. By examining various perspectives—service quality, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty, along with a new element “branding”, this paper aims to investigate those factors that influence customer repurchase intention in the real estate industry. Moreover, the combination of modern technology and website characteristic, an important way for customer communication, is incorporated into the service quality perspective, forming both physical and virtual perspectives to be discussed altogether. This would enrich the research result with originality, and hopefully the research result with an emphasis on real estate industry could raise or make an extension novel insights and standpoints. This paper looks into the service industry that has enormous impact on and makes a contribution to Taiwan’s economy. It focuses on the real estate industry, which has the highest amount of consumption in each deal in the retailing market and the control on the relevant industries. With “service profit chain” served as theoretical framework (James L. Heskett et al., 1994), this paper also investigates the correlations among perspectives such as service quality (including website characteristics), branding, customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and customer repurchase intention by conducting a questionnaire survey and making survey analysis. In this way, the key factors that influence real estate customers’ repurchase intention could be deduced, providing information and insights for future academic research or for the service and operation of real estate companies.

Under several recent impacts (the 911 attack, SARS, the finish of the high speed rail way through islet), the local aviation business has been effected immensely. According to the experience of Japan and Europe, only 10%-20% of the passengers will choose airplane as their transportation tool within 500 km radiation. Within 300 km, this percentage will reduce down to 0. Thus, it is necessary for the present local aviation companies to consider how to deal with these fast changes. Especially when the marketing of the aviation has just begun to reduce, the infrastructure of the company is the first one to be re-evaluated. Riechheld and Sasser (1990) has pointed out the increase of the customer loyalty will reduce the cost and increase the venue. Therefore, it is a major issue for the aviation company that how to maintain the loyalty of the customers under this pressure of competition. Winer (2000) suggested that the long term relationships with the customers is built on their loyalty and recognition to the company. For the aviation businesses, it is very hard for customers to evaluate of the service. Thus, the identification is very important to reduce the consciousness risk. In this report, when we studied the impact of brand equity on the loyalty to the company, we have found that there are 2 methods which could increase the loyalty to the company. First is to increase the brand trust. Secondly, the consciousness risk will decrease by increase the brand equity. Thus, the loyalty to the company will be increased. Other than the safety, the customers require a company with high quality guarantee.

Service convenience is an important topic of service research. Service convenience refers to consumers’ perceived time and effort expenditures related to buying or using a service. Past research focused on service convenience in the retail and online-shopping sectors of service convenience. Little is known how passengers perceive service convenience in the airline sector. The procedures of taking flight which include purchasing tickets, transaction, check-in process, flight-accuracy, and baggage-handling, etc. are always time and effort consuming for passengers. Understanding how passengers evaluate airline service convenience is important. This research not only builds a conceptual framework of service convenience in the airline sector through previous studies but also examines how convenience influence customer satisfaction. By using data from 225 passengers who has taken a plane, the results indicated that transaction convenience, benefit convenience, post-benefit convenience and baggage-handling convenience have a positive effect on customer satisfaction which decision convenience and access convenience have no effect on. The results can help understand passengers’ perceived airline service convenience and can provide airline company a useful reference of service procedure design.

Abstract:
Continued shortage and overuse of natural resources have brought catastrophic environmental consequences that have led to ecosystem degradation, species extinction and, climate change. As a result, environmental concern is continuously increasing, which is highly visible in the new priorities, trends, and habits of the new consumer that has never been so green. Consequently, sustainability is becoming more and more important for organizations that want to address consumer needs by taking their responsibility and minimizing their environmental impact while adding a social contribution. Green marketing (GM) is the tool that allows to promote a social and ecological corporate awareness and gain competitive advantages such as improving corporate environmental performance, image, and reputation. For this, it must be effectively and consistently managed. Nevertheless, although GM is an increasingly common practice within businesses, in general, organizations do not evaluate the impact of the brand's GM on the customer. Thus, this study focuses on understanding the influence of GM on the Worten consumer. A leading electronics consumer company which, although it has a strong and coherent environmental program, lacks knowledge of its effect on its customer. This represents the problem submitted by the green retailer that was researched and answered. The main results achieved led to the conclusion that there is a strong environmental concern reflected in the Worten consumer's predisposition to adopt green behaviors and consumption decisions despite the constraining price barrier. However, the Worten customer is unaware and not engaged in the brand's green efforts mainly due to the company's difficulty in communicating them effectively to its customer. Finally, five improvement proposals in this regard are suggested.
A contínua escassez e utilização excessiva dos recursos naturais provocou consequências ambientais catastróficas que levaram à degradação dos ecossistemas, à extinção de espécies e às alterações climáticas. Como resultado, a preocupação ambiental está continuamente a aumentar o que é claramente visível nas prioridades, tendências, e hábitos do novo consumidor, que nunca foi tão verde. Consequentemente, a sustentabilidade está a tornar-se cada vez mais importante para as organizações que querem responder às necessidades dos consumidores, assumindo a sua própria responsabilidade e minimizando o seu impacto ambiental, acrescentando simultaneamente uma contribuição social. O marketing verde (MV) é a ferramenta que permite promover uma consciência empresarial social e ecológica e obter vantagens competitivas, tais como a melhoria do desempenho ambiental, da imagem e da reputação da empresa. Para tal, é imperativo que esta ferramenta seja gerida de forma eficaz e consistente. No entanto, embora o MV seja uma prática cada vez mais comum nas empresas, em geral, as organizações não avaliam o impacto do MV da marca no cliente. Assim, este estudo centra-se na compreensão da influência do MV no consumidor Worten. Uma empresa líder no consumo de eletrónica que, embora tenha um programa ambiental forte e coerente, carece de conhecimento sobre seu efeito no seu cliente. Este representa o problema colocado pelo retalhista que foi investigado e respondido. Os principais resultados atingidos concluíram que existe uma forte preocupação ambiental refletida na predisposição do consumidor Worten para adotar comportamentos e decisões de consumo verdes, apesar da barreira condicionante do preço. Contudo, o cliente Worten desconhece e não participa nos esforços verdes da marca sobretudo devido à dificuldade da empresa em comunicá-los de forma eficaz. Finalmente, são sugeridas cinco propostas de melhoria neste sentido.

Management of financial institutions has continuously focused on the way to help service employees regulate their own emotions when facing a variety of customers so so that they can exhibit customer-oriented behavior and then improve customer satisfaction. The purposes of the study are to examine the influences of emotional labor on employees’ customer-oriented behavior and customer satisfaction as well as the mediating role of customer-oriented behavior between emotional labor and customer satisfaction. We collected data from 42 service employees in banks and their 498 customers, and then conducted subsequent analyses. The results of hierarchical regression showed that emotional labor had positive effects on customer-oriented behavior and customer satisfaction. Employees’ customer-oriented behavior also had positive effects on customer satisfaction. In addition, the relationship between emotional labor and customer satisfaction was mediated by employees’ customer-oriented behavior. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
