Abstract: | This study explores the antecedents and customer-related consequences of corporate reputation (henceforth as: c-rptn.) for one important stakeholder group, customers, and within a special service sector with product and corporate associations being synonymous. The concept of c-rptn. is linked to related concepts. Using structural equation modelling on customer survey data sample (n=511) of a German energy supply company, the impact of customer satisfaction and trust on c-rptn. are examined. It is also explored how customer loyalty and word of mouth behaviour are affected by c-rptn. |
