relationship between e-service quality and loyalty
(Coker, 2013; Husain, 2017). Based on that result, e-
service provides by VHO will increase guest
satisfaction and after that, will increase guest loyalty
as the impact.
In the relationship between image, guest
satisfaction, and guest loyalty, the result shows that
the Sobel test statistic is 3,82319162. It means the t-
statistic is higher than the t-table 1,96 (5%). Based on
the result, the image has a positive and significant
effect on guest loyalty with guest satisfaction as a
mediator. This result supports the previous finding of
the mediating role of guest satisfaction in the
hospitality industry (Novitaningtyas, 2017). Thus, the
better image of VHO will increase guest satisfaction
and also will give effect to increase guest loyalty.
5 CONCLUSION
The results of this study indicate that service quality
and the image has a positive effect on guest loyalty,
but the effect is not significant. Besides that, e-service
quality has a positive and significant effect on guest
loyalty. The results show a positive and significant
effect on the relationship between the independent
variables such as service quality, e-service quality,
and image with guest satisfaction as a mediating
variable. Thus, service quality has a positive and
significant effect on guest satisfaction, e-service
quality has a positive and significant effect on guest
satisfaction, and image also has a positive and
significant effect on guest satisfaction.
Moreover, guest satisfaction is proved that this
variable has a mediating role. Guest satisfaction
mediates the relationship between service quality and
guest loyalty. Then, guest satisfaction also has a
mediating role in the relationship between e-service
quality and guest loyalty. Besides that, the mediating
role is also proved in the relationship between image
and guest loyalty.
Based on the results, VHO should consider
service quality, e-service quality, image, and guest
satisfaction as the factors that will increase guest
loyalty. Moreover, VHO should increase the quality
of its service and e-service to make its guests
satisfied. Other than that, VHO needs to create the
best image to make its guests satisfied. Thus, if the
guest feels satisfied, it tends to increase their loyalty
to VHO. Loyal guests will give benefit from the VHO
because they will be potential repeater guests.
Besides that, they intend to recommend and say
positive things about the product.
