Modelling the relationship between perceived value, satisfaction and repurchase intentions in a business‐to‐business, services context: an empirical examination

Examines the relationship between four key post‐purchase constructs: perceived performance, satisfaction, perceived value, and repurchase intentions, in a causal path framework in an empirical study of business‐to‐business professional services. Attempts to disaggregate performance into its component multiple dimensions, and assess the individual impact of each on post‐purchase evaluation processes. Shows that the effect of perceived value on repurchase intentions is completely mediated through satisfaction. Confirms six performance dimensions, each having a significant impact on both value and satisfaction and adds new insight to our understanding of the respective roles of perceived value, satisfaction and post‐purchase intentions.
