For hypothesis 1, perceived service quality will serve as ‘x’, which is the independent variable, while customer satisfaction will be ‘y’ that is the dependent variable. For hypothesis 2, customer satisfaction will serve as ‘x’, which is the independent variable, while brand loyalty will serve as ‘y’ that is the dependent variable. For hypotheses 3, customer service will be ‘x’, the independent variable, while customer satisfaction will be ‘y’, which is the dependent variable.
Decision Rule
1. If ‘r’ is equal to +1, it means that there is a positive relationship. Thus, an increases in ‘x’, will lead to an increase in ‘y’.
2. If ‘r’ is equal to -1, it means there is a negative relationship. Thus an increase in ‘x’, will lead to a decrease in ‘y’.
3. If ‘r’ is equal to zero (0), it means there is no positive or negative increase. Thus, the variables are not related.
