  AUTHORS: Osman Mohamed Ali

  KEYWORDS: Service Quality, Relationship Quality, Customer Loyalty, Social Exchange Theory, Business-to-Business

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.8 No.4, April 2, 2020

  ABSTRACT: This study empirically examines 270 B2B firms based in Guangdong province, China, in an attempt to increase understanding of the interplays between service quality, relationship quality and customer loyalty from a social exchange theory viewpoint. The study reveals that service quality is positively related to relationship quality, relationship quality is positively related to customer loyalty, and service quality is positively related to customer loyalty. At the same time, relationship quality partially mediates the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty. The study offers useful insights to practitioners on how to cultivate better relationships with collaborators through offering better services which in turn help them retain customers.
