Analyzing the Effect of Product Quality on Consumer Satisfaction at Shoe and Sandal Stores in Bogor Regency
Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of product quality on consumer satisfaction in shoe and sandal stores in Bogor Regency, Indonesia.
Research Methodology: The study employs a quantitative descriptive approach using a questionnaire for data collection. A sample of 92 respondents was selected through accidental sampling. Data analysis was performed using simple linear regression to assess the relationship between product quality and consumer satisfaction.
Results: The results reveal that product quality has a significant positive effect on consumer satisfaction. The regression analysis shows a positive relationship with a significance level of 0.000, indicating that higher product quality leads to increased consumer satisfaction.
Conclusions: This finding confirms the hypothesis that better product quality leads to higher consumer satisfaction, which in turn can foster customer loyalty and repeat purchases.
Limitations: The study is limited to a specific geographic area (Bogor) and a particular product category (shoes and sandals), which may limit the generalizability of the findings to other regions or industries.
Contributions: This research highlights the importance of product quality in consumer satisfaction and offers valuable insights for retail businesses, particularly in the footwear sector, aiming to improve customer retention and competitive advantage.
