Abstract

This study investigated the predicted moderating effect of satisfaction on the association between the attractiveness of the alternative relationship and exit intention in a marketing channel. The study used a variation of the Kenny and Judd structural equation technique proposed by the author. The results suggested that for channel customers with lower satisfaction, alternative attractiveness was positively associated with exit intention. When satisfaction was higher, however, alternative attractiveness had no association with exit intention. The implications of these results are discussed.
