Researchers have demonstrated that good reputation is perceived as a signal of reliability (Suh and Houston, 2010) and acts as an antecedent to trust (Alam and Yasin, 2010; Torres-Moraga et al., 2010). Chang (2013) explored the role of trust as a mediating variable between corporate reputation and brand loyalty in the restaurant sector, and the results supported previous studies in that corporate reputation has an influence on trust. Thus the current study adopts brand reputation as a mediating variable between CBCRBE and brand trust.
