LITERATURE REVIEW

Concept of Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is a critical component of business success, and it has been


extensively studied in various contexts. The concept of customer satisfaction is
complex and multifaceted, and it has been defined in various ways by different

delivering customer satisfaction.

Customer satisfaction is influenced by various factors, including product quality,


price, brand reputation, and customer service (Parasuraman et al., 1988). These

Tangible factors refer to the physical characteristics of a product or service, such as its
