Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of service quality on loyalty mediated by customer satisfaction and trust. A total of 215 Islamic bank customers in the study area were sampled accidently.
Theoretical framework: Theoretically, this study contributes to the gaps in the literature, especially those related to the effect of SQ on Islamic banking loyalty which is mediated by satisfaction and trust simultaneously in one research title. Practically, encouraging Islamic banking management to design SQ programs that integrate the value of satisfaction and trust in the same cultural background to gain customer support and loyalty
Design/methodology/approach: There are four latent variables observed; service quality, satisfaction, trust, and loyalty with the number of indicators respectively six, four, three, and four. Data collection was carried out through interviews using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Smart-PLS 3.0. The validity test uses factor loading and AVE ( Average Variance Extracted ), the reliability test uses Composite reliability (CR) and Cronbach's Alpha (CA), the direct effect test uses the path analysis matrix, while the indirect effect test uses the specific indirect effects matrix.
Findings: The volume of research has been increasing over the past nineteen years, although there are only a few authors, institutions and reference journals contributing to the topic’s consolidation and the countries conducting the most joint research in co- authoring for the largest volume of publications, authors and impact journals.
Research, Practical & Social implications: This study concludes that customer loyalty of Islamic banks in Indonesia can be optimized through service quality which is mediated by customer satisfaction and trust.
Originality/value: The results of the analysis show that the factor loading value is> 0.6 and the AVE value is> 0.5 which means that the data is valid. CR and CA values > 0.6 which means the data is reliable. The direct effect test shows that service quality, satisfaction and trust have a positive and significant effect (p-value <0.05) on loyalty. Furthermore, service quality has an indirect effect ( specific indirect effects) on customer loyalty through the mediation of satisfaction and trust.
