Notwithstanding the increasing researches on consumer behaviour, there is a dearth of studies that have investigated the
influence of customer satisfaction on customer trust, loyalty and repurchase intention in the African retailing context. Therefore,
using a data set of 151 from athletes in Gauteng Province of South Africa, this study examines these relationships. All the
posited four hypotheses are supported. The results indicate that the relationship between customer satisfaction and their trust,
customer satisfaction and their loyalty, customer trust and their loyalty, customer loyalty and their repurchase intention are
positive in a significant way. The research paper discusses both academic and managerial implications of the results and
future research directions are suggested.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of customer satisfaction on their trust, loyalty and intention to
repurchase. In particular, four hypotheses were postulated. To test the proposed hypotheses, data were collected from
Gauteng Province in South Africa. The empirical result supported all the four posited research hypotheses in a significant
way.
Important to note about the study findings is the fact that customer satisfaction and customer trust have influence
on customer repurchase intention through customer loyalty. This implies that customer satisfaction and trust have
stronger influence on customer repurchase intention when they first trigger the customer’s loyalty.
