This may be influenced by the poor services of the quality in Islamic Banking which has caused dissatisfaction with Islamic banking customers. The purpose of this article is to analyze the effect of service quality on customer satisfaction in Islamic banking. The research method employs a quantitative approach and emphasizes on the type of explanatory research while the data analysis technique employs Multiple Linear Regression analysis. The result shows that the Service Quality variables proxies with tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy simultaneously influence the level of customer satisfaction in Islamic Banking. This is indicated by F count > F table which is 56.794 > 2.274 or Sig. F (0.00) < α = 0.05. Partially influential factors are tangible, reliability, assurance, and empathy variables while the reliabil-ity variable has no effect and tangible maintains the most dominant influence on customer satisfaction. Based on the results of multiple linear analyses the effect of service quality on customers satisfaction of Islamic banking in West Java is 70.1% while the remaining 29.9% is influenced by other variables which are not examined in this study.

The Saudi Arabian insurance sector has two distinctive features. First, major revenue for this sector comes from the mandatory medical and motor insurance. Second, this sector is dominated by a few companies which generally provide the same products in the sector. Therefore, a company may focus on providing better service quality in order to attain future growth and stability. High-quality service is essential to gain a competitive advantage in the insurance sector. In this context, the present study identifies a gap in assessing the quality of service in the insurance sector of Saudi Arabia, using the SERVPERF scale in particular. Structural Equation Modeling is used to assess the quality of service. The results indicate that SERVPERF is not adequate to measure service quality in the context of Saudi Arabia. In the process, this study opens a debate on, whether a universally acknowledged SERVPERF scale is suitable to apply in an environment where service is of mandatory nature.

This study aims to examine customer retention (CR) from the aspect of customer satisfaction with customer relationship management (CRM), service quality and marketing relations (RM). State-owned bank customers selected the research population in all branch offices in the Madura region, and data were collected through a Likert scale model questionnaire. The results of the path analysis using the structural analysis model (SEM) show that there is an influence of CRM on customer satisfaction; there is an effect of service quality on customer satisfaction; there is an effect of RM on customer satisfaction; CRM through customer satisfaction affects CR; service quality through customer satisfaction affects CR; RM through customer satisfaction affects CR; there is an effect of customer satisfaction on CR on customers. Then the simultaneous test shows that simultaneously RM, service quality, and RM impact customer satisfaction, and the value of coefficient of determination (R-Square) explains that CRM, service quality, and RM can effectively contribute to customer satisfaction. Simultaneously, CRM, service quality, and RM affect CR. CRM, service quality, and RM affect CR mediated by customer satisfaction.

This paper aimed to examine a conceptual model for the relationships between hospital service quality, patient satisfaction, hospital utilization, and hospital financial performance. A total of 176 hospitals was selected from California State for this study. The standardized performance measures were used together with precisely defined specifications and standardized data collection protocols. First, an exploratory factor analysis with Varimax rotation was performed. The measurement prop-erties were then assessed in a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The analysis results show that quality had a significant effect on satisfaction, which, in turn, affected the financial performance. The results provide support for the previous findings indicated that service quality was positively associated with patient satisfaction and that satisfaction and utilization had a significant positive effect on financial performance. The analysis results provide support for the previous findings that hospital service quality is positively related to patient satisfaction.
