| Summary: | This study aimed at examining the relationship among program benefi ts (utilitarian/monetary, hedonic, and symbolic),
program satisfaction, and loyalty (program loyalty and store loyalty) in the retail context in Malaysia. A total of 300
questionnaires were collected via convenience sampling from program members of hypermarkets and superstores in
Malaysia. A structural equation model that assessed the relationship between the proposed variables was tested using AMOS
20. The fi ndings revealed that of the three program benefi ts, utilitarian benefi ts and symbolic benefi ts were statistically
signifi cant in infl uencing program satisfaction. In terms of loyalty, both hedonic and symbolic benefi ts were related to
program loyalty and only hedonic benefi t was positively related to store loyalty. |
