This study attempts to develop the customer engagement scale. Customer engagement is defined as the behavioral manifestation from a customer toward a brand beyond the purchasing behavior. The concept of customer engagement becomes the important issue because it can capture the values created by customers for the firm. However, the literature documents the theoretical statement of customer engagement, rather than the empirical scale. Thus, this study attempts to develop and construct the customer engagement scale which further provides the strategy for the management of customer engagement. This study follows a deliberate scale development process to develop the relevant items for four dimensions of customer engagement (i.e., customer lifetime value, customer referral value, customer influencer value, customer knowledge value). The findings indicate the 15-item scale's convergent and discriminant validity. In addition, the differences of customer engagement between product (smart phone) and service (movie theater) are compared. |
