L’articolo propone un modello multidimensionale di fedeltà all’insegna di retail grocery in cui le sue componenti - cognitiva, affettiva, conativa e comportamentale - sono legate in sequenza causale. Al contempo, l’atteggiamento verso l’insegna è fattore che agisce in via diretta, oltre che mediata, sulla fedeltà comportamentale. Il contributo chiarisce pertanto la concettualizzazione del costrutto di customer loyalty analizzando il ruolo delle sue componenti e le relazioni tra le stesse. Il modello è testato applicando la tecnica SEM ai dati raccolti somministrando un questionario strutturato ad un ampio campione di acquirenti in-store. I risultati suffragano la bontà del modello ed offrono spunti di riflessione sul piano delle implicazioni teoriche e manageriali di marketing.


Keywords: Fedeltà all’insegna, atteggiamento verso l’insegna, soddisfazione della clientela, fedeltà affettiva, fedeltà conativa, retail grocery.
