Educational policies, structures and practices have been essentially affected by globalization. Some of these progressions have been driven by financial forces, while others have been driven by political, technological, and social powers. Globalization's effect on education has brought on a reconsidering of numerous ranges in education, including its purpose, structure, pedagogy, content, instructional methodology, and outcomes assessment. The study aims to investigate the casual relationship between service quality and student behavioral intention, as well as, the mediating effect of student happiness. In the current study, the researcher adopted the quantitative technique (using questionnaire method) to achieve the research aim. SPSS25 and Smart PLS3 are implemented for data analysis. The results revealed that higher education service qualities; and student happiness, have a positive effect on student behavioral intention. In addition, student happiness mediates the relationship between higher education service quality and student behavioral intention. Theoretical and practical implications are introduced as well as suggestions for future research.","PeriodicalId":35351,"journal":{"name":"Restaurant Business","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48552347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study aimsto establish the impact of social media marketing (SMM) on Zimbabwean commercial bank customers’ behaviour, from a Social Exchange Theory (SET) perspective. The objectives included determining the influence of the SET determinants inherent in SMM on commercial bank customers’ satisfaction; loyalty and repurchase intentions. A quantitative research approach was used to survey 384 bank customers in Harare and Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences program. Structural Equation Modellingrevealed a positive and significant relationship between the perceived social, informational and monetary benefits inherent in SMM and the bank customers’ satisfaction. There was also a significant positive relationship between social connectedness inherent in SMM and the bank customers’ loyalty. Furthermore, significant positive relationships were found between perceived fairness, customer engagement, perceived reciprocity inherent in SMM and bank customers’ trust, while the strength of community ties inherent in SMM is negatively and significantly related to bank customer loyalty. It is thus recommended that marketers take cognizance of the influence of the social exchange theory determinants inherent in social media marketing on customer behaviour, when developing and implementing social media marketing strategies and policies.","PeriodicalId":35351,"journal":{"name":"Restaurant Business","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48344085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
