The results of the study are as follows: First, conviction quality had not influence on both cognitive satisfaction and emotionally based satisfaction, but tangibles quality had more influence on cognitive satisfaction than emotionally based satisfaction and responsiveness quality had more influence on emotionally based satisfaction than cognitive satisfaction. It found that there was a significant positive relationship between dimensions of the service quality, cognitive satisfaction and emotionally based satisfaction, and dimensions of the service quality affect satisfaction either directly or indirectly through emotion. Second, consumer satisfaction had more effect on service loyalty through service reputation than direct effect.

본 연구는 이동통신사를 대상으로 서비스품질 구성차원과 감정적만족, 인지적만족, 서비스명성 및 서비스 충성도 간의 경로상의 관계를 검증함으로써 감정적만족과 서비스명성의 인과적 역할을 확인하였다. 분석결과, 서비스품질 구성차원인 확신품질은 인지적만족과 감정적만족 모두에게 영향을 주지 않았지만, 유형품질은 인지적만족에 더 많은 영향을 준 반면 대응품질은 감정적만족에 더 많은 영향력을 줌으로써 서비스품질 차원에 따라 인지적만족과 감정적만족의 중요도가 달라짐을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 서비스품질과 인지적만족 간의 관계에서 감정적만족이 매개됨을 검증하였다. 또한 서비스품질에 대한 만족의 서비스충성도에 대한 직접적 영향력보다는 서비스명성을 통한 영향력이 더 높은 것으로 나타나 만족과 서비스충성도 간에 서비스명성이 매개됨을 확인하였다. 따라서 서비스품질을 통한 서비스충성도 구축을 위해서는 서비스품질 차원에 따라 감정적만족을 유도함으로써 인지적만족을 형성하여야 하며, 만족한 고객에게도 서비스명성을 높임으로써 강력한 서비스충성도을 이루어야할 것이다.
