Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the influences of service quality of mobile facilitators on customer satisfaction and on the switching of a mobile facilitator. Data collected from 453 customers of major mobile facilitators in Bangkok are obtained from a questionnaire survey. Those data are tested for weighted reliability of measuring tool with Cronbachs alpha coefficient. The method of principal component analysis and confirmatory factor analysis are applied respectively to bring factor scores to analyze in structural equation model at significant level 0.05. It was founded that structural equation model conforms to goodness of fit with empirical data in high degree of relevance (Chi-square = 0.277 df = 11, GFI = 1.000, AGFI = 1.000, CFI = 1.000, RMR = 0.003, RMSEA = 0.000). It could be concluded that, as a whole business picture, service quality in five dimensions, which is obtained from principal component analysis, has direct influenced positively on customer satisfaction. However, in each dimension, it has only indirect effect negatively through customer satisfaction on the switching of a mobile facilitator. The service quality, which has totally influenced on customer satisfaction and on the switching of a mobile facilitator, has coefficient of standard regression equations from more to less as the following; responsiveness (0.415, -0.209) reliability (0.393, -0.198) network quality (0.335, -0.169) empathy (0.303, -0.153) and tangibles (0.229, -0.115)
