The firms need to\u0000applying specific approach to exist and competitive advantage through\u0000specific brand. Yet, few research has examined consumer satisfaction\u0000with brand awareness-based consumer loyalty. So, it is essential to\u0000undertake this study in order to comprehend how customer satisfaction\u0000and loyalty are evolving over time. This study investigates the\u0000relationship between brand loyalty, brand love, and consumers'\u0000satisfaction with Indonesian logistic and courier services. A sample of\u0000710 customers from a survey study and structural equation modeling\u0000are used to assess the research assumptions (SEM). The empirical data\u0000show that consumer pleasure has a positive and significant influence on\u0000consumer brand loyalty and trust. Customer pleasure has a detrimental\u0000effect on brand loyalty. Also, consumers' emotional connections have a\u0000positive and significant influence on their loyalty. Consumers'\u0000emotional connections act as mediators in the relationship between\u0000customer loyalty and contentment. Further research is needed to\u0000validate the findings across the region and industry because this study\u0000only looked at courier and logistics consumers in Indonesia. The\u0000marketing and psychological insights from the current study were\u0000helpful to the management of courier and logistics organizations. The\u0000leaders must improve the promotion of their brand and products in\u0000order to grow their relationships with customers. This study illuminated\u0000the psychology of consumer decision-making by developing and\u0000evaluating a model of emotional attachment and consumer psychology.","PeriodicalId":43392,"journal":{"name":"FWU Journal of Social Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47778707","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}

The data was collected from the State Bank of Pakistan.\u0000To examine financial performance, this study used return on assets (ROA) and\u0000returns on equity (ROE) as proxies, and considered both internal attributes\u0000(such as liquidity, bank size, asset quality, capital adequacy ratio, operational\u0000efficiency, and assets management) and external factors (such as\u0000macroeconomic indicators like GDP growth and inflation rate). Ordinary least\u0000squares (OLS) estimation is employed to examine the relationship among\u0000variables. The estimation findings suggest that all of the internal factors have\u0000a strong association with banks' performance. Bank size and asset quality\u0000were found to have a positive and significant association with ROA, while\u0000asset quality and assets management were associated positively with ROE.\u0000Additionally, during the Covid-19 pandemic period, banks' size and liquidity\u0000were found to adversely affect ROA of Islamic banks, while operational\u0000efficiency had a positive impact.","PeriodicalId":43392,"journal":{"name":"FWU Journal of Social Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45452175","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}
