ABSTRACT
Technology advancement is gaining a great deal of
attention among young individual. Technology has
significantly impacted and changed the context
and the way young people live in recent years
particularly in developing countries across Asian
regions. Telecommunication companies have
noticed the importance of e-lifestyle factors which
largely will influence on their identity. This
research determines the impact of e-lifestyle on
customer satisfaction and loyalty from mobile
consumer users in emerging county. The data
collected using the survey form among 197
respondents from Generation Y that aged between
18 to 37 years old. The data was analyzed using
Smart-PLS and the results show that two
predictors under the e-lifestyle which are e-
activities and e-opinion influence consumers’
satisfaction that is strongly affect consumer
loyalty for four main service providers in
Malaysia.

I. I-TRODUCTIO-
Mobile services and applications are emerged due
to the convergence of Internet, media, IT and
advanced telecommunication technologies has
stimulated phenomenal influence of information
and communication technology (ICT). There are
numerous different mobile services and
applications available to consumers in the
telecommunication market. Individual acceptance
and adoption of mobile services have not been
full-fledged (Bouwman, López-Nicolás, Molina-
Castillo, & Van Hattum, 2012; Karnowski &
Jandura, 2014) or shown an asynchronous
pattern(Carlsson, Hyvonen, Repo, & Walden,
2005).This is due to the exponential growth in the
mobile telecommunications andthe dynamic
nature of the market. For this reason, many service
providers’ think that the mobile service market has
not yet reached its optimal level and there are still
huge opportunities to improve it services.
Malaysia has also witnessed advancement and
keeping appropriate pace with global technology
advancements, especially the mobile
telecommunication market. The major Telco
companies in Malaysia are TM Berhad, Celcom,
Maxis, DiGi and U Mobile. Others are the 4G
providers such as YES 4G and P1 WiMax which
are fully Digital WiMAX Operators. The growth
rate in the use of telecommunication facilities has
increased dramatically, especially in the rank of
increasing number of mobile service subscribers.
There are many reasons why consumers choose a
particular type of mobile service provider. One of
the factors effecting the selection of service
provider is e-lifestyle. Technology has
significantly impacted and changed the context
and the way people live in recent years (Yu,
2011).
The aim of this study is to understand consumer e-
lifestyle and how this factor influences consumer
satisfaction and affect customer loyalty. The
understanding of this relationship is important in
tailoring and delivering appropriate services to
Generation Y and service related to mobile
technologies.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
The main objectives of marketing activities are
often the development, maintenance, or
enhancement of customer loyalty (Dick & Basu,
1994).Customer loyalty has significant positive
impact on the profitability of business. Loyal
customers, who continuously use the same service
provider and ignore the competitor’s will offer a
long-term revenue for a company (Lam, Shankar,
Erramilli, & Murthy, 2004). In mobile service
industry context, loyal customers are more likely
to focus on long-term benefits and engage in
cooperative actions beneficial to both partners.
However, most mobile service providers face
Knowledge Management International Conference (KMICe) 2014, 12 – 15 August 2014, Malaysia
http://www.kmice.cms.net.my/ 507
considerable challenges due to the dynamic nature
of technological convergence and rapid evolution
of internet (Wong, Chan, Ngai, & Oswald, 2009).
Creating a loyal customer in mobile service
provider is not only about maintaining customers
overtime but also nurturing relationships with
customer for future purchase (Rauyruen & Miller,
2007). There are many factors to determine
consumer brand loyalty and understanding these
factors will enable companies to main their
customers.
E-lifestyle
Traditional segmentation strategies are based on
individual socio-demographic, attitudinal, or
psychographic characteristics (Penz, 2006). The
term psychographic puts together 'psychology and
'demographics' to add richness of both social and
behavioral sciences to demographics in order to
improve understanding of consumer
behaviour(Demby, 1974). The first spectrum of
psychographic studies was originally rooted in
personality profiles with the most frequently used
scale for measuring general aspects of personality
traits. However, these researches being plagued
with inconsistent correlations with consumer
behavior (Vyncke, 2002). In the second spectrum
of psychographic research, concept of personality
has been replaced by concept of 'lifestyle' which
was introduced by Lazer (1963). To date, the term
lifestyle has become prevalent amongst scholar in
the field of consumer behavior, and hence, the
term is used in this research.
Lifestyle is commonly referred to patterns in
which people live and spend their time and money
(Kaynak & Kara, 2001). Lifestyle can also be
defined as patterns of action which differentiate
people in order to help to understand what people
do and why they do it (Chaney, 1996).
Accordingly, the term lifestyle has become
central, while the personality concept has become
marginal to psychographic studies and the latter is
currently replaced by lifestyle concept (Vyncke,
2002). The term lifestyle is more comprehensive
than that of socioeconomics and demographic
characteristics (Blackwell, Miniard, & Engel,
2001). More importantly, individual lifestyles
seem to be stronger predictors of consumer
behavior including use and disposition of products
and services (Murry, Lastovicka, & Austin, 1997).
Thereby, decision makers will be able to
communicate with their consumers more
effectively by recognizing the lifestyle factors of
potential consumers (Lee, Lim, Jolly, & Lee,
2009).
Rapid convergence of the internet and mobile
usage, particularly among the youth, has
dramatically impacted and changed the way
people live since last decade (Yu, 2011).
Therefore, understanding consumer lifestyles has
been considered useful in delivering suitable
products and/or services to particular target
segments of information and communication
technology and hence, concept of e-lifestyle has
been introduced that could help marketers to
decide precisely within this target segment (Chen
& He, 2006). Furthermore, Yu (2011) develops
and validate an e-lifestyle construct that could
provide marketers some insights of what triggers
people's e-lifestyles. E-lifestyle, in this research,
conceives as patterns in which people live and
spend their time and money through internet and
electronic, which this definition is consistent with
that of Kaynak and Kara (2001). Lifestyle theories
agreed that consumer behaviors can be predicted
by a function of sociological and psychological
variables. Consistently, consumer e-lifestyle is
also predictable and assessable by psychological
and sociological constructs (Yu, 2011).
Numerous researches have assessed the lifestyle
construct, but among various lifestyle scales, two
conceptualizations are popular and broadly used.
The first one is lifestyle's construct
conceptualizing by three dimensions of activities,
interests, and opinions (AIO), originally developed
by Wells and Tigert (1971). The second construct
includes value, attitude, and lifestyles (VALS)
rating scale, which developed by Mitchell (1983).
Wells and Tigert (1971) defined activities as
actual observable behaviors, interests as the
continuous paying of attention to certain objects,
and opinions as responses to specific events. Since
then, lifestyle has been conceptualized based on
AIO approach extensively to help marketers
tailoring particular service/product to various
target segments (Bates, Cooper, & Wachs, 2001;
Green, Cordell, & DiStefano, 2006; Hur, Kim, &
Park, 2010).
Mitchell (1983) developed VAL’s instrument by
observing the relations among individual values,
lives, beliefs, and actions. He explained that
mixture of personal life and perceived value
determine consumer behavior, while a perceived
value is a synthesis of individual beliefs, attitudes,
hopes and demands. Therefore, many scholars
Knowledge Management International Conference (KMICe) 2014, 12 – 15 August 2014, Malaysia
http://www.kmice.cms.net.my/ 508
argue that value is one of the necessary constructs,
beside activities, interests, and opinions, to assess
consumer lifestyle (Lin, 2003). Interestingly, in
parallel with that, Yu (2011) operationalized e-
lifestyle employing four constructs of e-activities,
e-opinions, e-interests, and e-values. Furthermore,
based on theory of lifestyle, lifestyle is a set of
behaviors reflecting individual psychological
concerns (internal beliefs) and sociological
consequences (external stimuli). This research
adopts from seminal work of Yu (2011) to
conceptualize e-lifestyle construct.
Customer Satisfaction
The relationship between satisfaction and loyalty
seems to be nearly intuitive. Satisfaction is used as
a common marketing benchmark to measure a
product’s performance in the market. Previous
research has identified customer satisfaction is
considered as a key to achieving customers’
retention and loyalty and therefore helps in
realizing economic goals such as turnover and
revenue(Dick & Basu, 1994).Satisfaction is an
"overall customer attitude towards a service
provider" (Levesque & McDougall, 1996, p. 14),
or an emotional reaction to the differences
between customers expectation and what they
receive(Zineldin, 2000). There are at least two
different conceptualizing of customer satisfaction
construct – at the first time post purchase
evaluation (Oliver, 1977) or the cumulative
satisfaction to overall evaluation after usage for a
period of time(Fornell, 1992). For this study the
cumulative construct of satisfaction is more
relevant to telecommunication service sector,
where customer satisfaction can be measured as
the overall evaluation of the service provided by
the specific mobile service providers in Malaysia.
The relationship between satisfaction and loyalty
is assumed to be positive (Zeithaml, Berry, &
Parasuraman, 1996). This is widely recognized in
previous empirical studies.
Based on the above literature review, the research
framework and hypothesis are proposed as below:
H1: Consumer e-activities have positive impact on
customer satisfaction.
H2: Consumer e-interests have positive impact on
customer satisfaction.
H3: Consumer e-opinions have positive impact on
customer satisfaction.
H4: Consumer e-values have positive impact on
customer satisfaction.
H5: Customer satisfaction has positive significant
impact on loyalty to the service provider.
Figure 1: Proposed Research Framework
III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A self-administered questionnaire was distributed
and collected from subscribers of mobile service
providers in Malaysia. The unit of analysis in this
study is subscribers of mobile service providers
(i.e., Celcom, Digi, Maxis, and Umobile) within
some areas in Malaysia including Kedah, Perlis,
Perak, Penang, Selangor, Kelantan, Melaka, and
Negeri Sembilan. Based on rule of thumb, the
minimum number of respondents is five-to-one
ratio of the number of latent variables to be tested.
Since we were not able to obtain list of total
population in the suggested area, thereby a non-
probability purposive sampling approach is
employed whereby only mobile subscribers of the
five particular mobile providers in Malaysia were
chosen and the rest were excluded from the data
set.
The questionnaire consists of three major sections.
First section included four sub-constructs
underlying consumer e-lifestyle. The four sub-
constructs include e-activities, e-opinions, e-
interests, and e-values adapted from previous
research (Lee et al., 2009; Mitchell, 1983; Yu,
2011). The second part includes the customer
satisfaction and loyalty and the last section gathers
demographic information of the respondents such
as gender, age, race, and education level.
IV. RESULTS A-D DISCUSSIO-
Purposive sampling method was used as the list of
population was not available. About 600 self-
administered questionnaires were distributed.
However only a total 197 usable questionnaire
were finally used for data analysis with32.8%
response rate. SmartPLS 2.0 software (Ringle,
Wende, & Will, 2005) was used to evaluate the
relationships among the constructs of the research
model by conducting partial least squares (PLS)
analysis.

Table 1 shows the respondent’s profile. The
respondents who are female are more than double
that of the number of male respondents with rate
of 68.7% female versus 31.3% male. Age of
respondents in this category varies differently. The
results show that the majority of respondents are
in the range of generation Y (i.e., birth date years
between 1980s and 2000s). More than half of
respondents are Chinese (58.2%), while 28.6 are
Malay and only 1.5% of respondents are Indians.
About 40.8% of mobile users as respondents
spend less than RM50 monthly on mobile
subscription. Similarly, about the equal numbers
of respondents spend monthly between RM50 and
RM100 on subscription, while only 1.6% spends
over RM200 on mobile subscription. In general,
mobile users in Malaysia closely use different
mobile network operators. It shows high
competition on telecommunication sector. For
example, Digi is number one in terms of
subscription among the respondents by 27.4%
followed by Maxis second after Digi with 24.2%,
and Celcom (21.1%) respectively. Umobile is a
newly introduced brand to the market and has yet
to be recognized among the mobile users.
Measurement Model The measurement model with reflective indicator
was modelled using SmartPLS. The measurement
model is evaluated by examining individual item
reliability, internal consistency or construct
reliability, average variance extracted analysis,
and discriminant validity.
A measurement model has satisfactory internal
consistency reliability when the composite
reliability (CR) of each construct exceeds the
threshold value of 0.7. Table 2 shows that the CR
of each construct for this study ranges from 0.8 to
0.9 and this is above the recommended threshold
value of 0.7. Thus, the results indicate that the
items used to represent the constructs have
satisfactory internal consistency reliability.
Indicator reliability of the measurement model is
measured by examining the items loadings. A
measurement model is said to have satisfactory
indicator reliability when each item’s loading is at
least 0.7 and is significant at least at the level of
0.05. Based on the analysis, all items in the
measurement model exhibited loadings exceeding
0.65 ranging from a lower bound of 0.649 to an
upper bound of 0. 936. All items are significant at
the 0.01 level. Table 2 shows the loading for each
item. Based on the results, all items used for this
study have demonstrated satisfactory indicator
reliability

In this study the measurement model’s
discriminant validity is assessed by using the
Fornell and Larcker’s (1981) criterion. The results
in Table 3 show that a measurement model has
discriminant validity when the square root of the
AVE exceeds the correlations between the
measure and all other measures, and the
indicators’ loadings are higher against their
respective construct compared to other constructs.
Hence, the result confirmed that the Fornell and
Larcker’s criterion is met.

Note: Values in the diagonal (bolded) are square root of the AVE while the off-diagonals are the inter-construct correlations.
Path Coefficients and Hypotheses testing A major emphasis in PLS analysis is on variance
explained as well as establishing the significance
of all path estimates. Specifically, the predictive
power of the structural model is assessed by the R2
values of the endogenous constructs. Figure 2 and
Table 4 present the results of the model and the
path analysis to test the hypotheses. Based on the
path coefficient and t-test results shows out of five
hypotheses, only three hypotheses are supported
and another 2 of the hypotheses related to e-
lifestyle are not supported. The results show that
e-activities and e-opinion positively influence the
satisfaction of four mobile service providers at
significant level of p<0.05. The final e-activities
predictors that been identified in the model is the
three items that related the usages of internet to
EA2:shop for products/services, EA3:do the
banking transactions or finances and EA6:arrange
trips by booking flight/bus tickets or
accommodation. These are the main activities that
consumer do online. The positive results of this
factor indicate that customers are satisfied with the
current service provider that they are using. On
the other hand, for e-opinion, the four items
related are the continued development of ICT that
give positive impact forEO1: society, EO2:
culture, EO3: education system and EO4:
economy. The two constructs under e-lifestyle,
namely e-interest and e-values do not have any
significant impact on customer satisfaction.
Based on the both e-activities and e-opinion,
consumers are satisfied with brand and the quality
of the service provider by the four mobile
companies which are Celcom, Digi, Maxis and U-
mobile. Consistent with prior literature,
satisfaction has the strongest relationship with
loyalty. The results of R2
value is 0.241 and 0.605
suggesting that 24.1% of the variance in customer
satisfaction can be explained by the e-lifestyle
factors while customer satisfaction can explain
60.5% of the variance in loyalty. Customers are
willing to L1: loyal to the current brand, L2:
continue to the subscription of the brand, L3:
recommend the brand to their friends and L4: not
switching to the other service providers.

V. CO-CLUSIO-
In today’s dynamic global environment, it is
important to understand how e-lifestyle factors
influence customer satisfaction-loyalty
relationship toward the mobile service providers.
The competition among the mobile service
providers in Malaysia is more intense now than
ever before as the market has not yet reached its
optimal level and there are still huge opportunities
to improve their services. Four major service
providers are evaluated and the results show that
e-lifestyle directly influence the customer

satisfaction and indirectly impact the customer
loyalty. Although, e-lifestyle was validated
previously by Yu (2011), this study used different
validity assessment tools and approach in the
Malaysian context. Understanding consumer
lifestyle has long been conceived beneficial in
tailoring and delivering appropriate product and
services to particular target segments, ample
opportunity exists in conceptualizing an e-lifestyle
instrument. By doing so, marketing management
researchers could be able to build a better strategic
planning based on understanding their potential
consumer’s lifestyle towards mobile
communication services.
