Abstract Details

The objective of this study was to investigate how member involvement, service quality, and perceived value, influence member satisfaction and intention to renew membership for members of private country clubs. An online survey instrument customized for the country club industry was distributed to members of two country clubs in the Northeast Ohio area. To obtain data, survey questionnaires were e-mailed to members. From the results of this study it can be seen that involvement, service quality, and perceived value impact country club members’ satisfaction and intention to renew their membership. Research results could help country clubs implement effective strategies for developing member loyalty programs.
