Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı müşteri bağlılığını doğrudan etkileyen önemli faktörlerin Arnavutluk’ta bankacılık sektörü bağlamında ortaya çıkartılmasıdır. Bu amaçla geliştirilen ankete 410 kişi katılım göstermiştir. Müşteri bağlılığında doğrudan etkili olabilecek beş değişik faktör belirlenmiştir.

Elde edilen sonuçlara göre sadece ‘ilişki’ ve ‘çalışanlar’ faktörleri müşteri bağlılığı üzerinde doğrudan bir etkiye sahiptir. Bankacılık sektöründe müşteri bağlılığı üzerindeki önemli faktörlerin belirlenmesi, müşteri memnuniyetini artırmak adına öncelikleri belirlemede banka yöneticilerine faydalı olacaktır.
