Abstract
Education is dynamic and always developing to keep it up to date with today's condition. The
government always puts an effort so that the education quality in Indonesia will not be left
behind compared to other countries in the world. One of the aspects stimulating the changes is
customer demand over the quality of the education system. This study also aimed at analyzing
the influence of service quality on the satisfaction and loyalty of senior high school or SMA
students. The data used in this study were primary data with a total respondent of 88 students.
The technique for data analysis used in this study was path analysis assisted by Smart PLS. The
research findings showed that service quality and institutional image significantly influenced
satisfaction, yet they did not influence loyalty significantly. Meanwhile, satisfaction directly
influenced loyalty. Further study is suggested to add several variables, such as perceived value,
perceived quality, and the like that are considered giving an influence on creating student’s
loyalty. Practical implications also drawn to conclude this study.

Introduction
Educational institutions play an important
role in creating human personality traits and
in developing the nation’s intellectual life.
The government puts an effort so that the
education quality in Indonesia is not left
behind compared to other countries. The
education reformation is the response
against the development of global demand
to adapt the accurate education system that
can develop human resources effectively.
Based on the information from the Ministry
of Education and Culture, the total of senior
high school in Riau Province gradually
increases annually and it reached 449 units
in the academic year 2019/2020 with the
number of students reach 151.382 students
(statistik.data.kemdikbud.go.id). The
success of an educational institution can be
seen from the student satisfaction. This
condition reflects that the parameter of
success for the school can be seen from the
provided service, whether the provided
service has met the expectation, or it even
exceeds the expectation. The student
satisfaction reflects a positive behavior
286 Evelyn Wijaya, et. al
Asia-Pacific Management and Business Application, 9, 3 (2021): 285-296
from the students against the service of
teaching and learning process performed by
the teacher due to the relevancy between the
expectation and the reality they get (Hassan
et al., 2019).
One of the institutions focusing on
education is PT. Pelita Pendidikan Kulim.
This company is the benefactor for 5
schools, namely playgroup, kindergarten,
elementary, junior high school, and senior
high school. The object of this study was
Senior High School Education. This school
was established on February 25th, 2013,
located on Kulim Ujung Street No. 08,
Tampan, Payung Sekaki and had B+ as the
accreditation status. The following is the
data for the total student studying in Senior
High School Education.

Figure 1. Total Students in Senior High School Education
Based on Fig. 1, it is seen that the total
student of Senior High School Education
tends to increase annually. It reflects that
Senior High School Education can attract
the students to study in that institution.
However, along with the development, it is
found that the services in Senior High
School Education do not fulfill the students’
expectations. Several aspects that need to be
concerned are the teachers’ competencies,
the teachers’ discipline, the punctuality, and
the accuracy in giving services by the
teachers, learning facilities, supporting
facilities, and etc. Based on the result of an
advanced observation, several points
causing problems found, namely
insufficient sports field, and a limited
number of classrooms, insufficient parking
spaces, incomplete library resources, and
lack of response by the teachers against the
needs and the students’ complaints. These
conditions caused students’ dissatisfaction
with Senior High School Education.
The aims of this study were (1) to analyze
the influence of service quality and
institutional image on student satisfaction
and loyalty in Senior High School
Education; and (2) to analyze the influence
of student satisfaction on student loyalty in
Senior High School Education.
Literature Review
Service quality reflects the expected
excellence level and control over the
excellence level to fulfill customer
expectations (Tjiptono & Chandra, 2016).
The perception of service quality in the
educational world reflects the ability in
providing an assessment against the
excellence of certain educational services
that can result in both academic and non-
academic excellence in the students. The
better service quality that is provided to the
students is, the student satisfaction level
will be higher. It is in line with a study by
(Annamdevula & Bellamkonda, 2016;
Appuhamilage & Torii, 2019; Azam, 2018;

Bakrie et al., 2019; Chandra et al., 2018;
Dora, 2017; Hassan et al., 2019; Jabbaret
al., 2020; Jiewanto et al., 2012; Leonnard et
al., 2014; Lunarindiah, 2018; Munizu &
Hamid, 2015; Mansari et al., 2014;
Permana et al., 2020; Wulandari & Suryani,
2017). The students who are satisfied with
the services provided by the company will
stimulate the existence of student loyalty. It
is in line with a study by (Annamdevula &
Bellamkonda, 2016; Hassan et al., 2019;
Leonnard et al., 2014; Lunarindiah, 2018;
Munizu & Hamid, 2015; Permana et al.,
2020; Wulandari & Suryani, 2017).
However, it is in contrast to a study by
(Appuhamilage & Torii, 2019; Bakrie et al.,
2019; Chandra et al., 2018)
The image reflects the perception of a
certain company or institution resulted from
people’s objective assessment over the
actions, behavior, and the ethics of the
institution amid the society (Lunarindiah,
2018). The image of a good quality
educational institution becomes one of the
important things and consideration when
having a decision to choose an educational
institution. The better the image of the
educational institution is, student
satisfaction will get better. It is in line with
a study by (Appuhamilage & Torii, 2019;
Bakrie et al., 2019; Hassan et al., 2019;
Leonnard et al., 2014; Lunarindiah, 2018;
Mulyono et al., 2020; Shahsavar &
Sudzina, 2017). The good image of an
educational institution can also stimulate
student loyalty. It is in line with a study by
(Bakrie et al., 2019; Hassan et al., 2019;
Shahsavar & Sudzina, 2017; Sugianto &
Farida, 2018). However, it is in contrast to
a study by (Appuhamilage & Torii, 2019;
Leonnard et al., 2014).
Customer satisfaction reflects the customer
responses over the evaluation of the
perceived incompatibility between the
initial expectation before the usage and the
perceived actual performance of services
the usage (Hassan et al., 2019). Customer
satisfaction becomes the initial turning
point in measuring the success of a
company. If the customers are satisfied with
the services provided by the company, the
next step is how to encourage them to be
loyal against the provided services. Loyalty
reflects customer behavior to use the
company’s services repeatedly and build
customer loyalty towards the services
provided by the company (Chandra et al.,
2018). The higher the student satisfaction
against the services provided by the
company, the student loyalty would
increase more. It is in line with a study by
(Africia et al., 2017; Annamdevula &
Bellamkonda, 2014; Appuhamilage &
Torii, 2019; Chandra et al., 2018;
Dharmayanti et al., 2018; Dora, 2017;
Hassan et al., 2019; Leonnard et al., 2014;
Munizu & Hamid, 2015; Shahsavar &
Sudzina, 2017; Wulandari & Suryani,
2017). However, it is in contrast to a study
by (Bakrie et al., 2019; Ismanova, 2019;
Lunarindiah, 2018).

Data Collection Method
This study used primary data collected by
distributing questionnaires that had been
filled out by the respondents. Meanwhile,
the secondary data were collected from
library research and supporting research
journals. The data collection was conducted
for 4 months (November-February, 2021).
Data Analysis Technique
The data analysis technique used in this
study was path analysis. Before designing
the path equation, the preliminary research,
including validity test, reliability test, and
multicollinearity test was conducted to
assess the feasibility of the research model
that would be used.
Result
Respondents’ Profiles
The sample used in this study was all
students of Senior High School Education,
namely 88 respondents in total. The
respondents’ characteristics used in this
study included gender and the previous
junior high school.
Based on the recapitulation result for the
questionnaire respondents, the information
that had been collected showed that 58%
were males and 42% were females.
Regarding the information from Senior
High School Education in the student data
in the academic year 2020/2021, the total
male respondents were higher than the total
female respondents were.
Based on the recapitulation result for the
questionnaire respondents, 73% of the
students were from Junior High School
Education and they continued their study in
Senior High School Education. Meanwhile,
the remaining or 27% of the students were
from other senior high schools. This
explained that most of the students of Junior
High School Education continued their
study to the senior high level.

Based on Table 2, it can be inferred that all
research variables are valid since having an
AVE and loading factor of more than 0.50
and reliable since having a cronbach’s alpha
of more than 0.60.
The multicollinearity test was aimed at
assessing the correlation between the
exogenous variables. The test was done
using the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF).

Based on table 3 , it can be inferred that the
research variables have a VIF value of less
than 10. Hence, it can be inferred that this
study was free of multicollinearity
symptoms.
Coefficient of Determination (R2)
The R2 value showed how big the influence
between exogenous variables and
endogenous variables. The higher the
R2value was, the influence would be better.

institutional image of 60.6%, while the rest
of 39.4% was influenced by other variables
outside the study. Table 4 also shows that
the R2 value is 0.410. It indicated that
student loyalty was influenced by service
quality, institutional image, and student
satisfaction of 41.0%, while the rest of
59.0% was influenced by other variables
outside the study.
Path Analysis and Hypothesis Testing
Path analysis was used to know how big the
influence of exogenous variables against
the endogenous variables in the students of
Senior High School Education. Meanwhile,
hypothesis testing was used to know the
influence of endogenous variables and
exogenous variables partially.

The Influence of Service Quality on
Student Satisfaction
The result of the path analysis also showed
that the beta coefficient value between
service quality and student satisfaction was
0.504. The result of the calculated t-test was
5.223 with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). It
indicated that service quality positively and
significantly influenced student
satisfaction.
The Influence of Institutional Image on
Student Satisfaction
The result of the path analysis showed that
the beta coefficient value for the
relationship between institutional image
and student satisfaction was 0.369. The
result of the calculated t-test was 3.684 with
a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). This indicated
that institutional image positively and
significantly influenced student
satisfaction.
The Influence of Service Quality on
Student Loyalty
The result of the path analysis showed that
the beta coefficient value for the
relationship between service quality and
student loyalty was 0.232. The result of the
calculated t-test was 1.537 with a p-value of
0.125 (p>0.05). This indicated that service
quality did not significantly influence
student loyalty.
The Influence of Institutional Image on
Student Loyalty
The result of the path analysis showed that
the beta coefficient value for the
relationship between institutional image
and student loyalty was -0.001. The result
of the calculated t-test was 0.012 with a p-
value of 0.990 (p>0.05). This indicated that
institutional image did not significantly
influence student loyalty.
The Influence of Student Satisfaction on
Student Loyalty
The result of the path analysis showed that
the beta coefficient value for the
relationship between student satisfaction
and student loyalty was 0.474. The result of
the calculated t-test was 3.546 with a p-
value of 0.000 (p<0.05). This indicated that
student satisfaction positively and
significantly influenced student loyalty.
Discussion
The result of the respondents’ responses
stated that service quality was considered
important by the respondents. This was
supported by the result of the assessment
showing a positive direction. It means that
if service quality increases, student
satisfaction will also increase. It is in line
with the result of the hypothesis testing that
service quality positively and significantly
influenced student satisfaction in Senior
High School Education. The finding of this
study is in line with a study by
(Annamdevula & Bellamkonda, 2016;
Appuhamilage & Torii, 2019; Azam, 2018;
Bakrie et al., 2019; Chandra et al., 2018;
Dora, 2017; Hassan et al., 2019; Jabbaret
al., 2020; Jiewanto et al., 2012; Leonnard et
al., 2014; Lunarindiah, 2018; Munizu &
Hamid, 2015; Mansari et al., 2014;
Permana et al., 2020; Wulandari & Suryani,
2017). The service quality provided by
Senior High School Education exceeded the
students’ expectations that made the
students felt satisfied. It was proven by a
statement that the teachers in Senior High
School Education always provide updated
materials related to the applicable education
quality standard to help the students in
maximizing the learning outcome. Besides,
the teachers were able to create a conducive
learning atmosphere so that it was able to
make the students felt comfortable during
the learning process. Good service quality
could create student satisfaction during the
study in Senior High School Education.
Service Quality, Institutional Image and Satisfaction... 293
Asia-Pacific Management and Business Application, 9, 3 (2021): 285-296
The result of the respondents’ responses
stated that institutional image was
considered important by the respondents
and this was supported by the result of the
assessment showing a positive direction. It
means that if institutional image increases,
student satisfaction will also increase. It
was in line with the result of the hypothesis
testing that institutional image positively
and significantly influenced student
satisfaction in Senior High School
Education. This finding was in line with a
study by (Appuhamilage & Torii, 2019;
Bakrie et al., 2019; Hassan et al., 2019;
Leonnard et al., 2014; Lunarindiah, 2018;
Mulyono et al., 2020; Shahsavar &
Sudzina, 2017). The better the image built
by Senior High School Education, it might
increase student satisfaction. It was proven
by a statement that Senior High School
Education had B as the accreditation status
indicating that education quality they offer
can build students’ characters and students’
knowledge. If the institutional image can be
continuously maintained and improved, it
may create student satisfaction.
The result of the influence of service quality
on student loyalty had a positive direction.
It means that if service quality increases,
student loyalty will also increase. However,
the result of the hypothesis testing showed
that service quality did not significantly
influence student loyalty. It explained that
service quality provided by Senior High
School Education did not directly influence
student loyalty. It was in line with a study
by (Appuhamilage & Torii, 2019; Bakrie et
al., 2019; Chandra et al., 2018).
Nevertheless, it was in contrast to a study by
(Annamdevula & Bellamkonda, 2016;
Hassan et al., 2019; Leonnard et al., 2014;
Lunarindiah, 2018; Munizu & Hamid,
2015; Permana et al., 2020; Wulandari &
Suryani, 2017). Even though, in general, the
students were satisfied with the service
quality provided by Senior High School
Education, the students still had several
complaints, such as insufficient parking
spaces, insufficient sports field, and
incomplete learning book collections in the
library. Student loyalty might be formed if
the students got positive impressions during
their study in Senior High School
Education.
The result of the influence of institutional
image on student loyalty had a negative
direction. It means that if institutional
image increases, student loyalty will
decrease. The result of the hypothesis
testing showed that institutional image did
not significantly influence student loyalty.
It explained that the institutional image built
by Senior High School Education did not
directly influence student loyalty. The
institutional image could not be a variable
having an ability to encourage or create
student loyalty. This finding was in line
with a study by (Appuhamilage & Torii,
2019; Leonnard et al., 2014). However, it
was in contrast to a study by (Bakrie et al.,
2019; Hassan et al., 2019; Shahsavar &
Sudzina, 2017; Sugianto & Farida, 2018). A
good accreditation status did not guarantee
that the students would be loyal against a
certain educational institution. It was
because many other educational institutions
also had a similar accreditation status.
The result of the respondents’ responses
stated that satisfaction was considered
important by the respondents and this was
supported by the result of the assessment
showing a positive direction. It means that
if student satisfaction increases, student
loyalty will also increase. It was in line with
the result of the hypothesis testing that
student satisfaction positively and
significantly influenced student loyalty in
Senior High School Education. This finding
was in line with a study by (Africia et al.,
2017; Annamdevula & Bellamkonda, 2014;
Appuhamilage & Torii, 2019; Chandra et
al., 2018; Dora, 2017; Hassan et al., 2019;
Leonnard et al., 2014; Munizu & Hamid,
2015; Shahsavar & Sudzina, 2017;
Wulandari & Suryani, 2017). However, it is
in contrast to a study by (Bakrie et al., 2019;
Ismanova, 2019; Lunarindiah, 2018).
Result for characteristics of respondent
states that 73% of the students were from
294 Evelyn Wijaya, et. al
Asia-Pacific Management and Business Application, 9, 3 (2021): 285-296
Junior High School Education and they
continued their study in Senior High School
Education. Furthermore, the students
considered that the teachers’ quality in
Senior High School Education could keep it
up to date with the current development of
education quality so that the students would
feel comfortable and satisfied during their
study in Senior High School Education.
This condition was able to create student
loyalty.
Conclusion
Based on the result of the assessment, it is
known that service quality and institutional
image significantly influence student
satisfaction but did not influence student
loyalty. In addition, the study shows that
student satisfaction significantly influences
student loyalty. It means that Senior High
School Education has put a maximum effort
in increasing student satisfaction and
loyalty. To minimize the possibility of
student dissatisfaction in Senior High
School Education, the educational
institution needs to understand the students’
wishes and expectations, especially in the
provision of learning facilities. Senior High
School Education should provide library
resources that are relevant to the current
development of curriculum and education
quality so that the students’ learning process
can be more optimal. This is because the
statement gets a low mean score, indicating
that the library resources provided by
Senior High School Education do not
support the ongoing learning process yet.
Limitation and Future Research
The current study is limited only to the use
of service quality and institutional image as
the variables that can stimulate student
satisfaction and loyalty. Hence, the result is
not perfect yet. For further research, it is
expected to involve other variables to detect
the factors that can influence student
satisfaction and loyalty.

... Additionally, Teeroovengadum et al. (2019) and Mulyono, Hadian, Purba, and Pramono (2020) conducted empirical tests to demonstrate the validity of the affiliation between technical service excellence and student contentment. Wijaya, Junaedi, and Hocky (2021) most recent research demonstrated that service excellence has a favorable impact on student contentment and significantly increases consumer pleasure. Therefore, the following is a way to state the hypothesis: ...
... This research model included the intake quality of students as an exogenous variable, which is an extraordinary effort to explain a dependent variable. Most past researchers used service quality and institutional image (Wijaya et al., 2021), teaching quality (Gao, Zhuang, & Chang, 2021), student engagement (Manggarani, 2018), and quality improvement (Kanwar & Sanjeeva, 2022) to explain student satisfaction, ignoring intake quality. ...
... In respect to Table 6, the first hypothesis is favored by the study. The first hypothesis is consistent with the recent findings of Islam and Himel (2018), Sharabati, Alhileh, and Abusaimeh (2019), and Wijaya et al. (2021). That means service excellence has a positive effect on student contentment in tertiary-level education, indicating that learner satisfaction can be increased by reinforcing the service excellence of education. ...

The intention of this paper is to verify students’ satisfaction through service quality, institutional image, and intake quality from a higher education perspective. To satisfy this objective, the study collected 303 data points randomly from North South University, Brac University, and United International University, the top three non-government institutions in Bangladesh. Results exhibited that service quality, institutional image, and the intake quality of students are statistically significant predictors of student satisfaction. As a result, these factors are appropriate for explaining student satisfaction. From a practical point of view, academicians, scholars, and practitioners should emphasize service quality, intake quality of students, and institutional image as major determinants of student satisfaction. It is challenging to maintain student satisfaction in institutes of higher learning. University administrators will have a great deal of opportunity to make useful judgments for boosting student satisfaction by comprehending this point of view and this study's conceptual model. Additionally, this research would have a big impact on both policymakers and academics. This study concentrated on aspects of higher education that students highly value. To fortify this conceptual model, the study incorporated "intake quality of student" as an independent variable for determining student satisfaction, which is a fairly extraordinary effort to expose a theoretical gap.
... Students in HLIs hope that their institutions will keep their promises and provide error-free services, as evidenced by studies conducted in Indonesia (Wijaya et al. 2021); Malaysia (Nicholas et al. 2022) and Tanzania (Magasi et al. 2022;Mashenene, 2019). Similarly, the current authors anticipate a positive relationship between reliability and satisfaction or, H2: Reliability relates to student satisfaction positively. ...
... The results of past studies carried out in Indonesia (Wijaya et al. 2021); Malaysia (Nicholas et al. 2022), and Tanzania (Magasi et al. 2022;Mashenene, 2019) show that student's satisfaction increase when the HLIs academic and administrative staffs are willing to provide valuable and quick service to students. Therefore, the currently studied HLIs staff's responsiveness is expected to be positively related to student satisfaction or, H3: Responsiveness relates to student satisfaction positively. ...
... In other words, a service provider's graciousness, courtesy, approachability, and knowledge capacity are important (Pollack, 2008) for the service providers to build consumer trust and confidence (Zeithaml et al. 2006). The following service quality studies in HLIs support the positive relationship- Wijaya et al. 2021;Nicholas et al. 2022;Magasi et al. 2022;Mashenene, 2019; as such, this study predicts that, H4: Assurance relates to student satisfaction positively. ...

Despite policy efforts to promote higher learning in Tanzania, reports show persistent student dissatisfaction, revealing the extant inadequate quality measurement models. The study examined the fundamental elements causing dissatisfaction using an extended SERVQUAL model with additional variables, perceived transparency mediated by trust. Researchers collected quantitative data from 398 third-year higher learning students. The structural equations modelling result shows that reliability, perceived transparency, and trust in an institution significantly predict satisfaction. Further, trust partially mediates the influence of perceived transparency on student satisfaction. Evidence from this study suggests that education policy geared to promote the expertise of service providers and punctuality of service offering, transparency in service offering, and social responsibility of service provision is adequate for student satisfaction. Future research can look into a cross-level of economic development, groups of students—analysis of satisfaction determinants, and test the transparency—trust-based SERVIQUAL Model in quality struggling sectors in Tanzania and other developing countries. Also, studies can test how satisfaction mediates the effect of quality on academic performance.

... Judging by the servqual method, some researchers stated that student satisfaction with e-learning is still at a higher level of expectation than reality, meaning that e-learning has not met the element of satisfaction for its users. (Darmawan, 2015;Pham Hong et al., 2020;Wijaya et al., 2021). ...
... It is very important to note from the research results that a very large gap occurs in teaching items providing explanations about learning materials and the use of e-learning platform plates. Given the different abilities of students, explanations from teachers are very important at every meeting of the e-learning model, these activities can have a positive impact on students' skills in learning with this model so that satisfaction will increase (Li et al., 2018;Meranga, 2021;Wijaya et al., 2021). ...

... It is clear from the aforementioned discussions that a university must promote student involvement, satisfaction, brand image and loyalty in order to survive in the very competitive field of higher education. We observed extensive research about student satisfaction, school image and loyalty (Ghosh, Whipple, & Bryan, 2001), service quality, student satisfaction and student loyalty (Chandra, Ng, Chandra, & Priyono, 2018), service quality, institutional image, student satisfaction, and student loyalty (Wijaya, Junaedi, & Hocky, 2021), service quality, university image, student satisfaction, and loyalty (Chandra, Hafni, Chandra, Purwati, & Chandra, 2019), brand image, brand love, and brand loyalty (Mahothan, Laohavichien, Srivardhana, & Lertlop, 2022), image and loyalty (Hassan et al., 2020;Qomariah, Budiastuti, Sanosra, Susbiani, & Budisatoto, 2020), service quality, university image and student satisfaction towards student loyalty (Cahyono, Purwanto, Azizah, & Wijoyo, 2020). Most of the abovementioned studies showed that direct, straight-forward relationships in a single construct were scarce. ...

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between student engagement, brand image, student satisfaction and loyalty. Furthermore, the study intends to explore the mediating role of student satisfaction in the relationship between engagement and loyalty as well as brand image and loyalty in the context of higher education. A representative sample of 296 students from the three best private universities in Dhaka has been gathered in order to test the hypotheses. The study demonstrates that brand image has a favorable impact on student satisfaction while student engagement has no influence on student satisfaction. The results show that loyalty is heavily influenced by the student satisfaction construct. When there is no mediation between student engagement and loyalty, a complete mediation is recognized when student satisfaction is a mediator between brand image and student loyalty. The study also reveals that there is a negative correlation between student engagement and satisfaction. The results of the research definitely improve brand perception which keeps students engaged to their higher education.
