The results indicate that hypotheses 1 through 5 were supported. Using multiple regressions as a basis for causal paths, a model was developed that examined the influence of all five dimensions of service quality on customers’ satisfaction.The model explained 26.9% of the variance which indicates that 26.9% of the changes in the dependent variable are explained by the independent variables.Altogether, independent variables explained 26.9% of the variations.
