Abstract

This research makes three important contributions. First, the study provides evidence that the atmosphere created by varying service environments influences consumer loyalty. Second, these effects are captured by a two-dimensional representation of consumer loyalty - behavioral and attitudinal. Third, the type of service environment, lean versus elaborate, significantly alters the process by which true consumer commitment is created.
