Development of Research Questions and Hypotheses

In verbal models, the variables and their relationships are

stated in prose form. Such models may be mere

restatements of the main tenets of a theory.

An analytical model is a set of variables

and their interrelationships designed to represent,

in whole or in part, some real system or process.

“improvement in service quality can enhance customer loyalty”

Models

Graphical models are visual. They are used to isolate

variables and to suggest directions of relationships but are

not designed to provide numerical results.

statistically

Mathematical models explicitly specify the relationships

among variables, usually in equation form.

Research questions (RQs) are refined statements of the

specific components of the problem.

A hypothesis (H) is an unproven statement or

proposition about a factor or phenomenon that is of

interest to the researcher. Often, a hypothesis is a

possible answer to the research question.

Research Questions and Hypotheses

RQ1 Does Service performance has a positive impact toward customer

satisfaction?

H1 Service performance positively related toward satisfaction
