Abstract

Based on congruity value theory, this research aims to examine the effect of service quality on customer loyalty and the mediating role of customer satisfaction in delivery services via post offices in Central Java Province, Indonesia. A total of 120 respondents, data was collected from post office customers using purposive random techniques and analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) 3. 0. The research results show that service quality has a significant positive influence on customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction has a significant influence on customer loyalty. The findings also show that service quality directly has a positive effect on customer loyalty. However, service quality has a greater indirect influence on customer loyalty through customer satisfaction. These findings contribute to the management of delivery services at post offices by building customer satisfaction to increase customer loyalty based on superior service quality.
