The model tests the impact of relationship benefits, namely confidence benefits, special treatment benefits as well as social benefits on relationship quality, and relationship quality on word of mouth. The research was conducted with a sample of 220 respondents using airline ticket service in the past six month in Binh Duong province and Ho Chi Minh city. The result showed that relationship quality had a significant impact on positive word of mouth. However, relationship quality was affected by only two components of relationship benefits including confidence benefits and social benefits, and was not explained by special treatment benefits. These findings suggest that managers should concentrate on social benefits and confidence benefits to enhance relationship quality. Thanks to the increase of relationship quality, word of mouth will be enhanced. LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 2 Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Research background: In an environment that customers almost decrease their beliefs in advertisements by organizations, word of mouth becomes significantly effective to the competition of company’s advantage (International Word of Mouth Marketing Conference, 2005). Besides, the Nielsen Global Online Consumer Survey over 25,000 online consumers from 50 countries in 2009 showed that the information from acquaintances and comments from online customers are the most reliable advertising form.1 Degree of trust in forms of advertising The report also shows that ninety percent of surveyed consumers trust in the recommendations from people and seventy percent believe in the information LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 3 posted by online consumers, meaning consumers’ reliance on word of mouth in the decision-making process, either from their acquaintances or online consumers whom they have not known, has increased significantly. The power of word of mouth is proved and recognized by plenty of previous researches. Clearly, its power is an extreme influence, because word of mouth appears as a naturally and normally colloquial situation, it happens any time of day (Gildin et al. Moreover, its characteristics is spontaneous and independent from any seller (Gildin, 2003), which strongly explains the major reason why word of mouth can influent people’s buying behaviors and final purchase decisions (Kiecker and Cowles, 2001; Buttle, 1998; Bayus, 1985). It also means that WOM acts as a source of information as well as a persuasive communication tool (Schindler and Bickart, 2005; Gildin, 2002; Keller, 2007; Bayus, 1985). In addition with attracting new customers, word of mouth is important for the long term economic success of company (Hennig-Thurau et al. It also contributes to decrease the cognitive dissonance of existing customers (Wangenheim, 2005). Cognitive dissonance, experienced by individuals, is even over the concern of having made a wrong decision (Festinger, 1957). Accordingly, spreading word of mouth, customers attempt to convince themselves of the purchase decision they made (Wangenheim, 2005). Obviously, customers use WOM as one of the strategies to reduce their post-decision dissonance (Festinger, 1957). According to Buttle (1998), WOM can be regarded as a risk reduction strategy. Dichter (1966) proves customers’ purchase-intentions for innovative products are increased by positive word of mouth because of reducing the risk associated acquisitions. Garbarino and Strahilevitz (2004) also cite the reduction in perceived risk when purchasing online after receiving a site recommendation from friends. LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 4 Additionally, customers believe heavily on the advices and suggestions of whose have experienced the service (Kinard and Capella, 2006). Furthermore, consumers often trust each other more than their communications with firms, thus emphasize the importance of WOM (Zeithaml and Bitner, 1996). Despite numerous literatures about the importance of WOM, there is only few seldom researches analyzing about the antecedents of WOM and specifically the impact of customer-employee relationships on WOM intentions (Gremler et al.2 Vietnamese aviation market: Aviation industry has made significant contributions in promoting economic development, increasing foreign currency income, improving the balance of payments, expanding the exchange of goods and cultures, as well as promoting Vietnamese image to the world. Therefore, the Government has confirmed that Vietnam's aviation industry is a key economic sector and promoted investment in modernizing and enhancing the service quality of this industry. Vietnam has the advantage of strategic location (in the Asia-Pacific region) which accounts for 50% of the volume of air transport worldwide (Ministry of transport – middle airports corporation, 2010). According International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) at Montreal in July 2012 assumed that civil aviation activities in Asia-Pacific was the most effective with net income of nearly U. $ 11 billion, while the net profit of the European airlines achieved less than U. $ 1 billion, and African airlines lost $ 100 million. ICAO also forecasted that global aviation industry continues to grow 5.4% in 2012 and in coming the years to come with the speed of 6% in 2013 and 6. This is an advantage information for the development of the world's aviation industry in general and Vietnam in particular so far. LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 5 For Vietnamese aviation, the report of Vietnamese General Statistics Office indicated that in the first quarter of 2012, the number of air passengers has increased proximately 4.4% compared with the same period in last year. Based on the Investment newspaper, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecast that in 2014, Vietnam will become the third fastest growing market of passenger and international merchandise transport in the word, only behind China and Brazil. By 2015, the Vietnamese aviation market will have 34 - 36 million passengers; by 2019, it will reach 52-59 million passengers. Besides, the freight will increase to 850,000 - 930,000 tons in 2015 and from 1.6 million tons in 2019. With all above information, Vietnamese aviation promises a huge potential for development. In other words, it is a big chance for airline ticket agents in their business.3 Problem statement: Airline ticket agents are considered as the airline representatives to make reservations and sell tickets. Airline ticket agents hold stressful duties, because they relate directly to customers and timely solve their travel problems. Moreover, sometimes, they also put up with many complaints which are actually not their faults, such as the flight delays or cancellations,… Due to the unexpected problems of the flight at any time, airline ticket agents must work at nights, weekends, or even on holidays. Besides the work pressure, the airline ticket agents also face against strong intensity of competitive pressure from the others airline ticket agents and, even from the airlines head offices. The pace among agencies lies on the race of marketing campaigns, customer services, sales strategies… To stand out from the rest, airline ticket agencies try to have super offers or policies. For example, they try to post LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.
