Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Abstract: This study examines four variables, namely emotional branding, service quality, customer
satisfaction and loyalty. The purpose of this study is to analyze and explain the effect of emotional branding and
service quality on loyalty with customer satisfaction as a service strategy in hospitals. The research respondents
were all patients who were being treated at the Aisyiyah Hospital in Malang, Indonesia. The research sample
was 158 patients who according to the hospital database were classified as loyal patients. The analysis
technique is descriptive and Structural Equation Modeling is solved by linear regression technique. A
quantitative approach was chosen to explain the influence between research variables. Collecting data using a
questionnaire. The results of this study found that emotional branding has led to customer loyalty which in turn
has a positive impact on customer satisfaction. Service Quality has a positive impact on customer satisfaction
and loyalty. The ability of hospital management to satisfy customers can be the main strategy to maintain the
continuity of the business entity.
Keywords: emotional branding, Service Quality, Satisfaction, Customer Loyalty
I. Introduction
Hospital is a health facility that operates to provide health services to the community. Concerning global
competition, hospitals are one of the service providers that are required to be able to win the competition. For
this reason, hospitals must be able to build good relationships with patients for satisfaction and make them loyal.
Service recipient satisfaction is achieved when service recipients receive services following what is needed and
expected (Wigati, 2008).
Islamic Hospital "Aisiyah Malang" is one of the Type C private hospitals located in Malang, Indonesia.
This hospital has a vision that is to become a health service center with a heart and professionalism, prioritize
quality and patient safety in 2022, and has the motto "My service is my worship". Management at "RSI
Aisyiyah Malang" continues to strive to complete facilities and infrastructure to support the treatment process to
healing, as well as improve patient health services. RSI Aisiyah Malang generally serves outpatient general
practitioners, dentists, specialists, and sub-specialists. Emergency Services (IGD) and the Intensive Care Unit
(ICU) are open 24 hours. Also, other medical support services such as laboratories, pharmacies, nutrition,
laboratories, radiology, cardiac catheterization, operating rooms, and inpatient services.
Inpatient care is a form of service in a hospital to treat patients due to certain diseases that are handled by
professional health workers. Inpatient services at RSI Aisyiyah Malang with a capacity of 186 beds. Inpatient
services can be said to be successful if the hospital's performance efficiency indicator, namely the bed
occupancy rate (BOR) meets the standard. The ideal hospital BOR (2017) is 60-80% (Ministry of Health, 2005).
The annual report of RSI Aisyiyah Malang is known that the BOR value for inpatient services at RSI Aisyiyah
Malang has increased.
Table 1. Information on the BOR of the hospital under study

3. 2018 69,03%

International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 19
The BOR in 2017 decreased to 65.08% but was still within the ideal BOR range, while the BOR in 2018
rose by 3.95%. The increase in BOR was influenced by the increase in visits by emergency room patients and
specialist outpatients. The number of patients who visited RSI Aisyiyah Malang also increased, this information
is presented in the table below:
Table 2. Information on hospital visits under study
Servicing Visiting Patient
2016 2017 2018
Emergency Services 12.443 14.018 22.064
Normal Care 113.198 135.073 184.445
Inpatient care 11.143 13.632 13.803
The description of patients in the hospital shows that there is an increase in the number of visits to all
types of services, both in the emergency room, normal care, and inpatient care. The facts presented in these two
tables show that hospital management must pay attention to loyal patients. Therefore, the researcher wants to
explain what factors influence patient loyalty and what strategies are appropriate to maintain patient loyalty
based on theoretical thinking and the results of previous studies.
The results of previous research studies show that service quality has a significant effect on increasing
satisfaction (Sritharan and Velnampy, 2011) and finally on an impact on patient loyalty (Sutrisno et al., 2016).
Service quality is centered on efforts to meet customer needs and desires as well as the accuracy to meet
customer expectations (Tjiptono, 2004). The results of research at other hospital locations prove that Service
Quality affects customer loyalty (Sibrani and Riani, 2007). Service Quality affects patient satisfaction (Sritharan
and Velnampy, 20011). Also, patient satisfaction affects patient loyalty (Meesala and Paul, 2016). Customer
satisfaction always is the key success to solving every strategic issue (Respati et al., 2013 Sopalatu et al., 2021).
Hospital management, apart from focusing on service quality, also communicates to build good
relationships with patients. The emotional branding aspect chosen by hospital management is to build good
communication with loyal patients to create service satisfaction. Emotional Branding is a memory placement
method that can regulate a person's unconscious relationship and always remembers the company or company's
products emotionally (Marc Globe,2005 Utami et al.,2020). Emotional branding has become a way/method for
business actors to build sensitive and humane relationships with clients to touch one's level of satisfaction and
emotion deeply and long-lastingly (Gobe, 2005 Aurelia et al.,2009). The results of Hariyanti and Susanto's
research (2018) prove that emotional branding has a positive impact on patient loyalty. And there is also an
influence between emotional branding and customer satisfaction (Wijanarko et al., 2014).
Hospital management, apart from focusing on service quality, also communicates to build good

and customer satisfaction (Wijanarko et al., 2014).
II. Critical Theorists
Customer loyalty is the willingness of customers to buy the same product on an ongoing basis and
suggest to relatives and family to buy the product (Khan, 2012). According to Griffin (2002), customer loyalty
is beneficial for companies to reduce marketing costs to get customers. There are four activities to retain
customers such as interaction, work programs for loyalty, personalization with customers, and creating
institutional bonds with customers (Kotler and Keller, 2009). There are four types of loyalty categories, namely
no loyalty, weak, hidden and strong loyalty (Griffin, 2005). Loyalty can be used as a tool to predict sales growth
and buyer behavior (Griffin, 2005). Loyalty measurement can be observed from repeated purchasing activities,
making purchases outside the product line, and recommending to other parties and there is immunity from
customers to refuse purchases from other products (Griffin, 2005). The stages of loyalty formation occur at the
level of product awareness, making initial purchases, and repeat purchases.

International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 20
Customer satisfaction is the feeling of someone who is satisfied after comparing the reality and
expectations of a product after being consumed (Kotler, 2000). According to Kotler and Keller (2009)
satisfaction reflects a person's assessment of product performance or results, concerning the assumption that
customers can judge satisfied and dissatisfied or disappointed. If the performance of the product matches the
expectations, the customer is satisfied, if the product performance exceeds the expectations, it is better
according to the customer and they feel happy. The factor of customer satisfaction is much influenced by the
perception of product quality, service quality, and personal factors that are temporary situations. Attributes
forming satisfaction consist of conformity with expectations, interest in revisiting, and willingness to make
positive recommendations (Hakwins and Lonney, 2004).
Marketing research on service quality mostly refers to the Service Quality model thought developed by
Parasuraman et al. (1988), which explains that Service Quality is the level of closeness between reality and
customer expectations for the services received by users. Users' expectations are based on word-of-mouth
information, personal needs, past experiences, and external communications such as advertisements and various
forms of company promotions. There are five dimensions to measure services, namely tangibles, reliability,
responsiveness, empathy, and assurance. Tangibles are related to facilities, equipment, and personal physical
appearance. Reliability is related to the ability to serve the company. Responsiveness is related to the ability of
company management to help customers agilely. Assurance is related to the company's ability to guarantee that
everything offered to users is at least as expected. Empathy is related to the company's ability to pay attention
and understand the needs and desires of customers.
Emotional branding is a brand creation concept that aims to establish an emotional connection between
brands and customers through creative and innovative approaches (Gobe, 2010). Emotional branding is a new
inspiration to recreate and maintain the emotional connection between products and consumers in the long term.
Emotional branding is also a tool for creating a “personal dialogue” with consumers. According to (Gobe, 2010)
the basic concept of the emotional branding process consists of four important variables, namely: relationship,
sensory experience, imagination, and vision.
Hospital management uses five SERVQUAL measures to determine customer needs and customer
perceptions (Kotler, 2005). Services that meet expectations, and provide satisfaction for customers. Customer
satisfaction can lead to customer loyalty (Lupiyoadi, 2006:87). The results of the research Sibrani and Riani
(2007) show the effect of service quality on patient loyalty in hospitals.
H1: Service quality affects patient loyalty
H2: Patient satisfaction mediates Service quality and patient loyalty
Emotional branding is part of hospital management to retain loyal customers. Hariyanti and Susanto found a
direct impact of emotional branding on patient loyalty in Indonesian hospitals. Furthermore, Wijanarka et al.
(2014) proved that there is a strong influence between emotional branding on patient satisfaction. Many
previous studies have tested satisfaction and loyalty with the results that there is a significant effect.
H3: Emotional branding affects patient loyalty
H4: Patient satisfaction mediates emotional branding and patient loyalty

III. Research Methodology
Research design
This research design is quantitative, testing four research hypotheses. Descriptive analysis is used to
explain the description for each research variable and structural equation model analysis is used to determine the
accuracy of the model with the conditions under study. The analysis of the Structural Equation Model in this
study was solved by linear regression technique using the SPSS program. T-statistical and path analysis were
used to prove the research hypothesis. The data collection tool uses a Likert scale questionnaire (choice 1
indicates the perception of strongly disagree, up to option 5 which is strongly agreed while option 3 is neutral).
The SPSS program is suitable to calculate r Validity, CFA, and description analysis (Respati, 2010).
Population and Sample
The research respondents were all patients who received inpatient services at RSI Aisyiyah Malang
with criteria > 17 years of age and were able to communicate well. Researchers gave questionnaires to patients
who were doing routine check-ups after being hospitalized a few days or months ago. During a period of one
month, according to the database of inpatients at the hospital, there were 950 inpatients. The Slovin formula is
used to determine the number of samples by considering an error of 5% so that the number of samples is 158
respondents. Sampling using a simple random sampling technique by considering that every patient encountered
has the same opportunity to answer the research questionnaire.
Research result
RSI Aisyiyah Malang, located in Malang City, Indonesia, is a healthcare institution that can provide
excellent services, which include preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative services with an Islamic
touch and feel that is the hallmark of this hospital. Respondents of this study were patients who received
inpatient services as many as 158 patients. Researchers have collected primary data, namely respondents'
answers to questionnaires, and have tabulated them.

Table 5 presents information that the implementation of service quality in hospitals is more emphasized on
assurance, patient emotionality in hospital management is shown by the relationship aspect, patient satisfaction
is shown in the suitability of expectations and patient loyalty is shown by the behavior of patients who are
willing to make repeat purchases.
To build a structural equation model, regression was carried out twice. The results of the regression model
equation are as follows:
First multiple linear regression model: PS= 0,556SQ +0,257EB +e1
Second multiple linear regression model: PL= 0,240SQ +0,240EB +0,281PS +e2

Figure 2 explains that service quality (SQ) has no direct effect on patient loyalty (PL). Also, emotional
branding (EB) does not directly affect patient loyalty (PL). Service quality (SQ) has a significant effect on
patient satisfaction (PS) and in the end, has a direct effect on patient loyalty (PL), the indirect effect is 0.156).
Emotional Branding (EB) has a significant effect on patient satisfaction (PS) and in the end, has a direct effect
on patient loyalty (PL), the indirect effect is 0.072. The comparison of an indirect effect of 0.156 is higher than
0.071 which means that service quality (SQ) has a stronger influence on patient satisfaction which in turn has an
impact on patient loyalty (PL).
IV. Discussion
Service quality discusses the difference between expectations and reality related to services
(Parasuraman et al, 1988). According to the patient's perception, from the assurance, tangible, and
responsiveness measurements, reliability was found that the assurance aspect was the most preferred by the
patient. Patients feel the service that the hospital can serve well, especially with privacy guarantees and
guarantees for explanations from doctors on how to deal with patients' health problems based on complaints.
The results of this study are relevant to the statement of Parasuraman et al. (1988) that privacy assurance is part
of service quality.
The positive image attached to the customer's mind is part of the implementation of emotional branding
(Gobe, 2010). The results of the emotional branding measurement show that the hospital has a positive
emotional relationship with the patients. The friendly attitude of employees such as doctors, nurses, and
administrative officers creates a positive positioning. Officers in the emergency department, according to the
patient's perception, received the most positive response. The results of this study were able to develop Gobe's
(2000) thought that a friendly attitude has a great opportunity to stick in the minds of consumers.
Buyer satisfaction discusses individual feelings about the comparison between service performance and
spending money after consuming the service (Kotler, 2000). The results of this comparison can be concluded as
satisfied or dissatisfied. According to the perception of the patients, after consuming hospital services they feel
satisfied. They feel good service, communication between patients, doctors, and nurses is very friendly, and also
7. The Role of Patient Satisfaction as Mediation of Emotional Branding and Service Quality to Build
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 24
the available facilities are very adequate. The results of this study agree with the statement of Kotler (2000) that
the comparison between service performance that exceeds the expenditure of money is called buyer satisfaction.
Increasing loyal customers is part of the performance (Grifin, 2005), especially marketing performance.
Loyalty is a form of commitment to remain a customer (Oliver, 2005). The test results found that the patients
behaved loyally in making repeated purchases. According to the perception of the patients, they make repeated
purchases for laboratory services, and individual health control and if there are complaints, they always visit this
hospital. The results of this study can confirm Oliver's (2005) statement that the behavior of surviving as a
customer by making repeated purchases is part of loyal behavior.
Sibrani and Riani (2017) researching patients in Indonesian hospitals have proven that there is an effect
of service quality on patient loyalty. Similarly, Sibarani and Rianai (2017) prove that there is an effect of service
quality on patient satisfaction and ultimately has an impact on loyalty. Sriharan and Velnampy (2011) prove that
there is an effect of service quality on patient satisfaction in Sri Lanka hospitals. The results of this study are
different from those of Sriharan and Velnampy (2011). This study has proven that there is no influence between
service quality on patient loyalty. However, the implementation of service quality can create patient satisfaction
which in turn has an impact on loyalty. The results of this study are relevant to the results of Sibrani and Riani's
research (2017). The relationship between service quality, patient satisfaction, and loyalty in this study proves
that satisfaction is the main goal of implementing service quality to get loyal behavior. Communication between
hospital employees to patients and the availability of facilities are the focus of patients, so this aspect is very
important for the type of business in the sector of hope.
Wijarnarko et al. (2014) examined the effect of emotional branding and loyalty. The results of the
study proved that there was a significant effect. Sibarani and Riani (2017) also prove that there is influence of
emotional branding on satisfaction. Meesala and Paul (2006) prove the effect of satisfaction on loyalty. The
results of this study are different from the findings of Wijarnako et al. (2014). This study shows that emotional
branding does not affect loyalty. However, emotional branding has created satisfaction for patients which in turn
has an impact on loyal behavior.
V. Conclusion and recommendation for future research
RSI Aisyiyah Malang has carried out the service well. Likewise, hospitals have positive emotional
relationships with patients. Both the implementation of service quality and emotional branding at RSI Aisyiyah
Malang can create a high sense of satisfaction for patients so that they behave loyally. On the other hand, it was
also found that the implementation of service quality at RSI Aisyiyah Malang did not have a direct impact on
loyalty, nor did emotional branding have a direct effect on loyalty. This is because the hospital is a sector of
hope. So, to achieve loyal behavior, other aspects are needed such as satisfaction, trust, and understanding. For
future research, there are other determinants of loyalty behavior that are more appropriate to be studied for
business sector expectations such as hospitals and universities. Future researchers can examine the relationship
between trust and understanding of loyalty in the type of business sector that gives hope to stakeholders.
