Abstract

Customer satisfaction has become a crucial determinant of success and sustainability for low-cost airlines in Southeast Asia, particularly in the post-pandemic era. This study aims to analyze how service quality dimensions (tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy) influence passenger satisfaction within the low-cost aviation sector. A quantitative research design was employed using survey data collected from 175 AirAsia passengers. Data were analyzed through descriptive and multiple regression analysis. The model explains 42.5% of the variance in customer satisfaction (R² = 0.425), confirming the significant role of service quality in shaping passenger perceptions. Regression results reveal that empathy (? = 0.265, p 0.001) is the most influential factor, followed by tangibility (? = 0.233, p = 0.002) and reliability (? = 0.165, p = 0.047). Assurance (? = 0.159, p = 0.032) also exerts a positive, albeit smaller, effect. These findings affirm the applicability of the SERVQUAL model in the aviation context and underscore the strategic importance of improving interpersonal engagement, operational reliability, and service consistency. The study contributes theoretically by validating SERVQUAL in a cost-sensitive market and practically by offering insights to enhance passenger satisfaction in low-cost airlines

Abstract

McDonald’s is one of the world’s leading fast-food chains that has been a prominent player in Malaysia since 1982. With over 300 outlets in Malaysia, McDonald’s serves millions of customers emphasizing convenience, quick service and digital innovations. Despite its popularity, McDonald’s has faced periodic challenges including consumer boycotts caused by various reasons. This paper analyzes the impact of boycotts on McDonald’s in Malaysia aiming to understand the motivations behind these actions and their effects focusing on consumer boycotts action, corporate image and reputation, social media amplification, consumer loyalty and perceived performance. By utilizing a quantitative approach involving 102 customer surveys, this study investigates the impacts of boycotts on its public image. The survey results reveal that consumer boycott actions significantly influence brand reputation and consumer loyalty with socio-cultural factors in Malaysia amplifying their impact. This finding offers valuable insights into how consumer activism works and how McDonald’s responds to the impact of boycotts in influencing business practices.
