Building Satisfaction and Loyalty During a Musical Benefit Event: A Consumer-Based Approach
Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, 2019
This research addresses the respective importance of the charitable, experiential, and service-based dimensions associated with benefit concerts. Through a consumer-based approach, we examine the effects of three antecedents (charitable scope, immersion, and quality of service) on satisfaction and behavioral outcomes (loyalty and positive word-of-mouth). Data collected on site immediately after a charity concert are analyzed with structural equation modeling. The state of immersion and the event’s charitable scope enhance the overall satisfaction, which, in turn, fosters the behavioral outcomes. Direct effects are identified; satisfaction is influenced more by immersion, whereas behavioral outcomes depend more on charitable scope. The type of initial motivation moderates the findings: The quality of service enhances satisfaction only among attendees with other-focused motivation, immersion improves satisfaction if the motivation is self-focused, and charitable scope remains an impor...
Music Quality, Satisfaction, and Behavioral Intentions Within a Jazz Festival Context
Event Management, 2002
With a basis in the marketing literature on the possible links between service quality and its outcomes (e.g., greater revenue, increased market share, etc.), this research focused on the relationships between music quality assessment, satisfaction, and two behavioral intentions within a jazz festival context. A causal analysis revealed that the festival attendees' evaluation of the music quality affected the overall satisfaction with the festival positively, and that overall satisfaction exerted a positive and direct influence on a) intention to revisit the festival and b) intention to recommend it to others. By contrast, the festival attendees' evaluation of the music quality only had a direct effect on the intention to recommend to others. Finally, the study's managerial and research implications are briefly discussed. Jazz festival Music quality Satisfaction Behavioral intentions

This study examines the importance of five service attributes (employees, show time, facility access, ancillary quality, and visual aesthetics) used by attendees when evaluating the service quality of their experience at performing arts events. The importance of service attributes were considered by patrons' commitment level and demographic characteristics. Study data was obtained from the performing arts center associated with a mid-sized university located in the mid-west. The sample was drawn from patrons at five unique performances that took place on different days of the week and times over a two-month period. A total of 457 audience members participated in the study. Importance of service attributes did vary by commitment characteristics, as did behavioral intentions. As the level of commitment with the organization increased, the more likely they were to recommend, attend in the future, subscribe to, and donate time or financial resources to the performing arts organization.

The present study was designed to investigate how music listening affects intentions to attend concerts by employing both the music consumption model and the general consumer behavior model in service environments. We conducted a listening experiment using live recorded classical music. Participants responded to questionnaires after listening to pieces that represented different types of emotions. The items surveyed included felt emotion, liking, performance evaluation, and monetary value. The main findings were as follows: (1) strong emotions that were linked with happiness and tenderness/liking induced by music listening and performance evaluations were associated with intentions to attend concerts, and (2) the individual sense of the value of classical music also influenced the price that audience members were willing to pay to attend a concert when inspired to do so through music listening.
