“…When the consumer experiences an increase in his/her satisfaction, loyalty also increases. However, some studies have identified an asymmetrical and non-linear relationship between satisfaction and loyalty (Bowen & Chen, 2001;Gómez, McLaughlin, & Wittink, 2004) and argue that increasing customer satisfaction does not mean producing higher levels of loyalty (Bennett & Rundle-Thiele, 2004;Wu, Zhou, & Wu, 2011). Other authors affirm that the consumer's ambivalence moderates the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty (Olsen, Wilcox, & Olsson, 2005) and still others that the antecedent of loyalty is the affective or emotional component of satisfaction and not the cognitive component (You & Dean, 2001).…”

“…High levels of customer loyalty have been found to result in reduced marketing costs, increased market share, and enhanced consumer resistance to competitor strategies (Baldinger & Rubinson 1996;Chaudhuri & Holbrook 2001;Bowen & Chen 2001;Rundle-Thiele 2005). In the higher education context, student loyalty has received increasing attention in the literature (e.g., Carvalho & de Oliveira Mota 2010;Arnett, German & Hunt 2003;Hennig-Thurau, Langer & Hansen, 2001).…”

“…Rust and Zahorik [31] stated that greater customer satisfaction leads to greater intent to repurchase. According to Anderson and Sullivian [21], a high level of customer satisfaction will decrease the perceived need to switch service provider, thereby increasing customer repurchase and ultimately enhancing profitability of the organization [32]. Henig and Klee [33] further argued that satisfaction will positively influence commitment.…”
