The impacts of ethical sales behaviour on customer loyalty in the life insurance industryThe Service Industries Journal, 29
Purpose – This paper aims to examine the causal influences on the construct, relationship commitment. A better understanding of relationship marketing is an underpinning goal of this study. Design/methodology/approach – Chunghwa Telecom is a Taiwan-based telecommunications firm that enjoys Taiwan’s largest domestic market share of asymmetric digital subscriber line market. Data from Chunghwa Telecom’s subscribers were obtained, and 265 qualified observations were collected. A structural equation modeling approach was used. Findings – Relationship commitment is understood as dependent on positive affective commitment and involuntary continuance commitment. Positive affective commitment, namely, voluntary continuance commitment, enhances customer loyalty. On the contrary, involuntary continuance commitment has negative impacts on customer loyalty. It is discovered that relationship quality, corporate reputation and switching costs have significant effects on relationship commitment. Satisfactory relationship commitment has positive effects on loyalty. Originality/value – Effects of voluntary continuance commitment and involuntary continuance commitment on customer loyalty are not in the same direction. When customers feel trapped in a relationship due to involuntary continuance commitment, they respond to the feeling by provision of negative word-of-mouth.
