The results of the study shows that service quality has a significant effect on reputation and student satisfaction, but service quality and student satisfaction have no significant effect on student loyalty. On the contrary, the reputation of an institution has a very significant direct effect on loyalty. Student service quality has a significant indirect effect on student loyalty through the reputation of the institution, this implies that the reputation of the institution carries a relative influence relationship between service quality on student loyalty.

To develop the county, technical and high skilled workers are in high demand by various industries. Align with this, the government has put high attention on main stream the technical education in Malaysia. In addition, the enrollment to in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is expected to be increased as to support higher industry demand. The main purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the mediating role of Corporate Image of University (CIO) on the link between Service Quality (SQ) and Student Loyalty (SL) of Technical Higher Learning Institution (HLIs) in TVET sectors in Malaysia. The previous research discovered that student loyalty level is influenced by Service Quality and Corporate Image of Universities. The relationships between the constructs is positive. However, there is inadequate evidence on mediating effect of Corporate Image of University on the relationship between Servic e Quality and Student Loyalty in TVET Higher Education Institution (HLI). Convenience sampling was used to distribute the questionnaires to final year student from Universiti Kuala Lumpur. 398 of good questionnaires were analyzed by using Partial Least Square (PLS)-Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results shows that there is direct effect of Service Quality to Corporate Image of University and Student Loyalty. There is also direct effect of Corporate Image of University and Student Loyalty. Interestingly, there is also mediation effect of Corporate Image of University on the link between Service Quality and Student Loyalty.

Exploring private universities service quality in Kenya: A structural equation modeling technique

The Kenyan private higher education sub-sector is considered one of the fastest rising and as such, pivotal within the economy. Whereas achieving higher service quality is challenging among private universities, it is not easy to come up with extraordinary service delivery deliverables which will fully entice customers. Therefore, a university has to discern their customers well, and in turn, provide superior services in order to achieve significant customer satisfaction. The aim of the present research was to empirically investigate specific dimensions of service quality (SQ) that influence customer satisfaction with, service delivery in private universities and the consequent contribution towards internal customers’ satisfaction in a Kenyan context. One aspect emphasized is taking cognizant dimensions tested in intricate situations as well as the reality in a developing country which in itself is self-contradictory. The study employed an adapted HEdPERF survey type with higher education service quality attributes namely; non-academic, academic, reputation, access, programme issues and understanding aspects, and structural equation modelling (SEM). The fit of the HEdPERF model to the data gained through stratified random sampling from ‘internal customers’ – students and employees was checked using SEM. Results claimed that in respect to private higher education, not all HEdPERF SQ variables are significant to internal customers. Two dimensions of SQ were identified and have the greatest predictive power on internal customers’ satisfaction ratings with regard to the quality of service, and these were presented in model(s) to indicate their inter-relatedness in terms of service quality and customer satisfaction. This research presents significant insights towards better understanding of internal customers’ attitudes. Private universities will be able to design and improve their internal services and/or internal marketing strategies as per their consumers’ preferences in a different cultural context. Finally, the use of SEM in exploring the HEdPERF model is also a valuable contribution.

This study analyzes the effect of quality of services provided to the students' in relation to their satisfaction and loyalty. Respondents in this study were seventh semester students of Universitas Muslim Nusantara Al-Washliyah, the total number of students was 312. Data analysis techniques in this study used was SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) using the SmartPLS program. The results showed that students' satisfaction significantly mediated the correlation between academics and students' loyalty, between non-academic and students' loyalty, between reputation and students' loyalty, and between campus access and students' loyalty; on the other hand, students' satisfaction was not significant in mediating the correlation between program issues and students' loyalty. The findings suggest that it is necessary to improve the quality of lecturers to improve students' academic abilities and communication skills. As far as non-academic aspects are concerned, conducting training and development efforts and increasing awareness programs for administrative staff is important. For the reputation aspect, to carry out several marketing campaigns which predict to have an effect upon students in building positive perceptions of campus has to be executed as well. Meanwhile for access aspect, it should be made certain that every student can have direct access to staff employees, and it is necessary to improve dimensions which can increase students' satisfaction so that students are convinced of their choice of campus and then they are likely to recommend their chosen university and spread positive things about their institutions.

The aim of this research is to validate the explanatory model of how the quality of service perceived by students of a higher education center influences their loyalty (retaining and attracting new students) through mediating variables: perceived value, expectations, and satisfaction. The methodology used to validate the measurement scales is exploratory, and confirmatory factor analysis and the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique are applied to analyze the causal relationships proposed in the model. The results show that the key variables to improve student's loyalty to the center are the quality of the service provided and the satisfaction perceived by the students. Both variables are postulated as a major source of competitive advantages. It is also observed that service quality is one of the three key variables to achieve student's satisfaction together with expectations and perceived value. This research and its results allow us to understand the relationship b...
