Meanwhile, customer satisfaction included two distinct elements: service satisfaction and technical satisfaction. These findings brought an easy way to analyze the effects of service quality on customer satisfaction, and customer satisfaction on customer loyalty. We applied regression analysis to research the relationships between constructs. The results showed that service quality positively affected customer satisfaction; and customer satisfaction positively impacted customer loyalty. This study also indicated that technical quality had a key role in customer satisfaction and customer loyalty; the prominent and complete penetration role of technical-side in this study stated its importance.
