Abstract

Zusammenfassung Kundenzufriedenheit wird allgemein verstanden als Konsumzufriedenheit, d.h. die Zufriedenheit mit dem Ge- oder Verbrauch eines Erzeugnisses. Unbeachtet bleibt die Zufriedenheit mit der eigentlichen Produktwahlhandlung, d.h. der Entscheidungsprozesszufriedenheit. Dieser Artikel setzt sich zum Ziel, die zentralen Determinanten der Entscheidungsprozesszufriedenheit zu identifizieren, den Zusammenhang zwischen Entscheidungsprozess- und Konsumzufriedenheit zu erhellen sowie die Auswirkungen des Konstrukts auf Kundenloyalität und Weiterempfehlungsabsicht zu untersuchen. Die Ergebnisse einer empirischen Studie belegen die Bedeutung der Entscheidungsprozesszufriedenheit für das Marketing.
