Abstract
This study identified economic, emotional, and relational value as outcomes of customer organizational citizenship behaviors (COCBs; Study 1: in-depth interviews). Study 2 (filed survey) found that COCBs have the strongest impact on emotional value compared with economic and relational value. Economic, emotional, and relational value also lead to customer satisfaction. Specifically, the findings supported that emotional value asymmetrically influences customer satisfaction, whereas economic and relational value symmetrically and positively influence customer satisfaction. Study 3 (filed survey) demonstrated that emotional value through COCBs has a greater and symmetrical influence on satisfaction in hedonic rather than utilitarian service contexts. However, economic value through COCBs is negatively associated with satisfaction in hedonic contexts, and there is no significant difference in the impact of relational value on satisfaction between service contexts. This study furnishes empirical evidence for the associations among COCBs, value perceptions, and customer satisfaction, along with their dynamic relationship patterns across service contexts.
