| الوصف: | 107 The research mainly revolving around service quality has been receiving much attention from the academic field. Pervious research studies have indicated that there is a strong relationship between service quality and customer loyalty. However, the study focusing on the field of aviation industry hasn’t been found widely; furthermore, there has been no case study exclusively for China Airlines. The purpose of the study is to explore the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty but in the domain of airline industry, with the moderating effect deriving from brand equity. Samples of the study came from those people who have flied with China Airlines and the study adopts quantitative research design and paper-based questionnaire to test the research hypotheses. The researcher used SPSS 22.0 and Amos to analyze the data and to determine the validity of the questions in the questionnaire. Results shows that service quality is positively related to customer loyalty; however, contrary to what was predicted and hypothesized in the thesis proposal, brand equity fails to have obvious moderating effect on the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty. Based on the results regarding the relationship between service quality and passenger loyalty as well as the moderating effect on the relationship mentioned above, it may well be inferred that airline companies are part of the free competitive market. On the basis of this principle, as to China Airlines, it will not catch more people’s attention and attract more passengers merely because of its brand equity. The reason why such a conclusion is reached is because the pricing strategy is one of the major factors that will impose a direct impact on the revenues it will bring from passengers. To be much more specific, the pricing ability and strategy of China Airlines is of much more importance than the appearance of cabin crew members and other factors mentioned in the questions in the questionnaire and so forth. As a consequence, airline companies are to put much more emphasis on the service quality, which is strongly related to passenger loyalty, while providing tickets at not only reasonable but also lucrative prices, which can be the priority factors that will be put into prudent consideration by the passengers. In addition to what mentioned above, HR practitioners with airline companies are to improve the service quality from the perspective of the passengers instead of the ones held by themselves only. |
