Özet

The purpose of this study was to explore the role of switching costs in the relationship between satisfaction, trust, and commitment for a brand. Data analyzed in this study were collected via questionaires from real consumers (n=457). Our research model emphasizes associations among switching costs, satisfaction, trust and commitment for a brand. Our study provides compelling evidence for future work to gain further insight into switching costs, satisfaction, trust, and commitment for a brand and includes several implications for management practice and future research. Switching costs have positively effect the relationships between satisfaction, trust and commitment for a brand. This empirical study provides a new approach to understand the effects of switching costs on the relationships between satisfaction, trust, and commitment for a brand.
