Abstract

This research paper defines service value as the multidimensional overall user evaluation of the efficiency of a particular service in the context of the benefits they provide, measured through satisfaction and loyalty of consumers and, in this particular case, of entrepreneurs. By distributing a questionnaire comprising a set of descriptive questions and a five-point Likert scale, the authors managed to collect 281 valid responses from entrepreneurs in Serbia. Structural equation modelling was used to evaluate the impact of service value factors on satisfaction and, ultimately, loyalty. Following a confirmatory factor analysis, the authors found that quality, personal relationship, expediency, leadership, and perceived costs significantly impacted the bank users’ satisfaction, which is ultimately converted into lasting loyalty towards the dominant bank used in a daily routine or running personal business. Even though new forms of business are more and more focused on the individual and subjective attitude towards banking service, a large number of determinants still need to be identified. In this research, all hypotheses about the influencing factors were confirmed.
