The influence of personal values on customer loyalty in agricultural bank of Tehran

In recent years, with the advent of private banks, the competition for attracting and retaining customers in the banking industry has become more complex. Customer expectations go beyond banks and if one sees his interest in moving resources from one bank to another he will not hesitate. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of personal values in creating loyalty in agricultural bank customers. In this study, data collected from 400 clients of Agricultural Bank in Tehran, after confirmatory factor analysis, were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings showed that the personal values of the clients of the Agricultural Bank could not explain their loyalty in different steps. On the other hand, it was found that the cognitive loyalty of Keshavarzi Bank customers with a regression coefficient of 0.80 had a positive and significant effect on emotional loyalty, and emotional loyalty with a regression coefficient of 0.38 had a positive and significant effect on behavioral loyalty.
