Dissertation Project

This research project examines the reputation of banks from the customer's perspective. The theoretical model is based on reputation and satisfaction models from the marketing literature. The project consists of three studies. First, the established reputation model by Schwaiger (2004) is adapted to the banking context. Second, the model is extended by the construct of trust, and third, a new construct - especially for cooperative banks - is developed. The results of the PLS path analysis show that performance and attractiveness positively influence bank reputation, which in turn has a positive impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty. Furthermore, trust is positively influenced by perceived likeability. Cooperative orientation mediates the relationship between reputation and customer satisfaction. The results have far-reaching implications for the strategic reputation management of banks from a theoretical and practical perspective.
