ABSTRACT

This purpose of this study was to understand the influence of physical environment, nonverbal communication of coffee shop and employees on customer emotional responses and customer satisfaction. Based on a total of 304 samples obtained for empirical research, this study reviewed the reliability and fitness the research model and verified a total of 8 hypotheses using the AMOS program. The hypothesized relationships in the model were simultaneously tested through the use of a structural equation model(SEM). The proposed model provided and adequate data fit, χ2=695.047(df 434), p<.001, CMIN/df=1.602, GFI=.877, AGFI=.850, NFI=.849, CFI=.937, RMSEA=.045. The model’s fit, as indicated by these indexes, was deemed satisfactory, thus providing a good basis for testing the hypothesized paths. The SEM showed that social factor(β=.298), paralanguage(β=.402) and proxemics(β=.276) had a significant positive influence on emotional responses. In addition, emotional responses(β=.794) had a significant positive influence on customer satisfaction. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.
