The main aim of this study is to examine the relationship between service quality and customer
satisfaction and their impact on behavioral intentions in higher education setting in Serbia. Two
competing models, revealed during the literature review, have been tested on a sample of Engineering
Management students by means of structural equation modeling, performed via LISREL 8. Results
of the study indicate that satisfaction is influenced by service quality and directly related to
behavioral intentions, thus offering support for Oliver’s (1999) cognition-affect-conation sequence
of causal relationships in loyalty formation. Implications of the study have been discussed and
limitations and directions for future research are outlined.
