Abstract  
The online food delivery industry has emerged as a new channel of food delivery and marketing in order to capture a bigger share  
and sale in the food industry. This new type of business delivery has become very popular, especially among young, busy and working  
people. In addition, this business has become more competitive due to the increasingly new business entries and users’ expectation  
resulted from the anxiety of online food ordering and time convenience, but not at the expense of providing quality products and  
services. Therefore, it is very crucial that online service providers understand the nature and requirements as well as the pertinent  
aspects of the online service industry that are considered important to the customers in this emerging market. This study tries to explore  
and gauge information to guide the online service providers regarding the requirements and attributes of this new service delivery  
system. Using adopted questionnaire from Mobile Service Quality (M-S-QUAL), this study aims to investigate the relationships  
between customers perceived service quality of online food delivery (OFD) and its influence on customer satisfaction and customer  
loyalty, moderated by personal innovativeness. The data are collected from the customers or users of any online food delivery service  
and will be analyzed using correlations and Hierarchical Moderated Regression Analysis.

Introduction  
gain competitive advantage (7, 11). It infers that firms must  
obtain the positive response from the user first before customer  
loyalty is created and the competitive advantage is achieved.  
Therefore, OFD service providers must fully understand how  
the customer perceived this online service and such  
understanding requires measuring the OFD service quality  
To date, a smartphone is one of the important media gadget  
for young Malaysian. In 2017, about 97.7 percent youngsters  
aged 15 years and above have been using smartphones in  
accommodating their daily activities. More specifically, it has  
also changed how they purchase products or services to fulfill  
their needs and wants. For instance, this trend has promoted  
Online Food Delivery (OFD) Service in Food and Beverage  
(
23). Thus, assessing perceived service quality of the customer  
is very crucial for the service company in its effort to achieve  
customer loyalty in order to sustain and survive in this very  
competitive market. This is the main issue that this research  
tries to investigate and hopes to contribute to better  
understandings of OFD service quality.  
Literature has provided considerable evidences on Mobile  
Service Quality (M-S-QUAL), yet there is a lack of scale  
utilization and exploration (21). More specifically, in the OFD  
industry, previous studies mostly investigate the customer  
attitude toward the service and few addressed the customers’  
response behaviorally. In addition, several studies investigate  
(
F&B) Industry. The OFD industry itself has emerged as a new  
wave in the food and beverage industry. This new marketing  
channel intends to increase sales and grab bigger shares of  
F&B industry, either through partnerships with food delivery  
companies (e.g., Foodpanda, Grabfood, Running Man  
Delivery, etc., or restaurant delivery service, e.g., McDonalds,  
KFC, Domino’s Pizza, Pizza Hut delivery services).  
Although the OFD service industry seems to be hugely  
promising, the nature of this market is poorly understood (10).  
However, delivering superior service to increase customer

the external factors in moderating the customer reaction of  
perceived service (9). However, the presence of internal  
characteristics, such as personal innovativeness is still limited.  
So far, research examining the influence of personal  
innovativeness that potentially moderates the customers post-  
adoption of M-commerce is limited or not extensive (5, 32).  
Therefore, this study tries to address this issue and fulfill the  
gap in the literature by investigating the influence of perceived  
OFD service quality on customer satisfaction and customer  
loyalty and the role of personal innovativeness in moderating  
the customer satisfaction and customer loyalty linkage.  
In this regard, this study adopts the quantitative and cross-  
sectional approach using M-S-QUAL (23) as the instrument to  
capture the perceived OFD service quality. This paper firstly  
proceeds with an introduction, the objectives of the study and  
the test conducted to obtain the reliable measures of the  
variables; Secondly, it continues with a brief literature review;  
Thirdly, it describes the conceptual framework consisting of  
the conceptual model and hypothesis related to Online food  
delivery (OFD) service quality, customer satisfaction,  
customer loyalty, personal innovativeness based on the review  
of the current evidence of these relationships. Fourthly, it  
discusses the methodology used. Fifth, it highlights the results  
of the analysis using correlation and Moderated Regression  
analyses. Finally, the results are then discussed and  
implications highlighted.  
comprises of 22 items in four dimensions: efficiency,  
fulfillment, system availability, and privacy. Additionally, in  
the same study, to measure the recovery aspect of service  
quality the authors also developed e-recovery scale (E-RecS-  
QUAL) which consist of 11 items in three dimensions:  
Responsiveness, Compensation, and Contact (38). Even  
though, m-commerce is often portrayed as the continuation of  
e-commerce the existing electronic service quality may not be  
proper. It leads to the need of specific measurement for mobile  
commerce service quality as it has its own characteristics (33).  
A number of scholars have formulated and suggested  
various factors to operationalize mobile service quality.  
According to Lu et al., m-service quality perceived is the form  
of interaction, environment, and outcome qualities (32,33).  
These are evaluated based on sub-dimensions of each  
dimension, namely attitude, expertise, problem-solving and  
information for interaction quality, equipment, design, and  
situation for environmental quality, and punctuality, tangibles,  
and valence for outcome quality. Lin state dimensions to assess  
mobile service quality differently (30,31). They suggest using  
functionality, content, customer service and interface design.  
Moreover, to measure mobile service quality that has physical  
and virtual product Huang et al., introduce the specific  
measurement for mobile quality service, namely M-S-QUAL,  
which consists of five dimensions: contact, responsiveness,  
fulfillment, privacy and efficiency of virtual product and four  
dimensions for physical product: contact, responsiveness,  
fulfillment and efficiency. In the context of OFD, this present  
study adopts a mobile service quality scale (M-S-QUAL)  
developed by Huang et al., that has been widely used to  
operationalize service quality for virtual and physical products

Literature Review

.1 Mobile Service Quality  
As this study aims to examine the relationship of perceived  
(
23).  
service quality of OFD grounded from M-S-QUAL on  
customer satisfaction and loyalty, it is important to understand  
how the mobile service quality evolved in the literature.  
Hence, the following paragraph starts with the initial service  
quality model, followed by the evolving of the electronic  
service quality literature and finally mobile service quality  
literature in relation to this study setting.  
Service quality has been substantially studied in the  
literature (6, 12, 15, 17, 25) but SERVQUAL of Parasuraman  
is the most influential seminal work which developed the  
instrument of service quality dimensions, namely Tangibles,  
Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy (40) .  
Basically, service quality is the form of customer perception  
during the purchasing process and also when the  
product/service is being delivered and recognized as the gap  
model which is the comparison between the customer’s  
perception of perceived service with their expectation (39).  
However, the evaluation of perceived service quality varies  
according to industries (14, 33). Thus, the existing scale of  
service quality may not be generalized in electronic service  
quality setting.

.2 Customer Satisfaction  
Previous studies indicate that firms with high competitive  
advantage must capture the customers’ positive response first  
before reaching competitiveness (7, 11). This positive  
response is characterized as a satisfied customer with the  
service perceived after experiencing the service quality. In  
fact, in mobile commerce, this attitudinal response is important  
for the company to fully understand the quality of their service  
(
27). So that, firms need to provide superior service in order to  
achieve customer satisfaction. It explains that service quality  
has a strong relationship with service quality (36). This link is  
supported by Expectation Disconfirmation Theory (EDT) that  
explains the post-purchase cognitive response of service.  
H1: Mobile service quality positively affects customer  
satisfaction  
To improve the market share, mobile service business  
needs to obtain a competitive strategy that caters to customers’  
needs in order to achieve long-term success (29, 43). This  
means the customer becomes loyal to the service. Unlike  
satisfaction, customer loyalty can be categorized in behavioral  
and attitudinal (11, 18). Furthermore, in technology-based  
service perceived service quality has a positive impact on  
customer loyalty (24). Therefore, there is a link between  
service quality and customer loyalty and we hypothesized:  
The wide advancement of technology and wired  
communication devices have thriven the service quality  
literature to adopt this advancement (16, 43). The  
transformation of the way service is being delivered from  
offline to online also lead this trend to the development an  
Electronic Service Quality (E-S-QUAL) to gauge the service  
quality delivered from websites (37,38). Initial E-S-QUAL

and user attitudes in the context of Location Based Service  
(LBS) (26).  
H2: Mobile service quality positively affects customer  
loyalty  
Although Walsh, Evanschitzky, & Wunderlich suggest  
critical incidents and income as moderators to be pertinent in  
the satisfaction and loyalty relationship, however, there is a  
room for other moderators to be included in the link (41). In  
fact, Homburg & Giering argued that personal characteristics,  
specifically variety seeking, age, and income, are strongly  
moderate this relationship (22). In the field of mobile  
commerce, we assumed that as features and applications of  
mobile technology become highly developed and become  
more sophisticated, users’ internal motivation (i.e: personal  
innovativeness) could potentially become a key element in  
mobile-related service usage (5). This means the relationship  
between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty and  
between perceived service quality and customer loyalty are  
assumed to be strengthened or weakened by personal  
innovativeness. Thus, we hypothesized:  
By adopting m-technology in the business, firms must first  
consider the factors that influence customer satisfaction with  
the service as these factors are the key elements to enhance the  
loyalty (27). However, the nature of the relationship between  
satisfaction and loyalty is being debated. Erjavec argues that  
the drivers of satisfaction and customer loyalty are observed to  
be diverse according to industries (19). Deng in his study on  
mobile instant messages confirms that customer satisfaction  
directly boosts customer loyalty (17). Likewise, in the mobile  
banking sector, to attain customer and company long-term  
relationship, the customer must be satisfied first (4). This  
means, there is a positive relationship between customer  
satisfaction and customer loyalty. Therefore, we hypothesized:  
H3: customer satisfaction positively related to customer  
loyalty  
H2a: Personal innovativeness moderates the relationship  
between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty  
H3a: Personal innovativeness moderates the relationship  
between service quality and customer loyalty  
As stated before, service quality and customer satisfaction  
have been identified as one of the major antecedents of  
customer loyalty. However, the customer perception on  
service quality initially affects customer satisfaction first. This  
simultaneous relationship between perceived service quality  
and customer satisfaction and its link toward customer loyalty  
has been attracting scholar’s attention (13, 34). Whilst some  
scholars studying the direct relationship between service  
quality and customer loyalty, some examined the mediating  
role of customer satisfaction over this relationship (8, 25).  
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the basic theory of  
such adoption, explain the relationship of perceived usefulness  
and perceived ease of use perceived from service quality may  
lead to the attitudinal response, i.e: customer satisfaction, and  
intention to repurchase the service, i.e: customer loyalty.  
Therefore, we hypothesized:

Methodology  
In the methodology section, we presented the  
questionnaire design and measurement, the sampling method  
of the study and data collection and also the profile of the  
respondents.

.1 Questionnaire Design and Measurement  
The questionnaire designed comprised of three sections,  
namely Mobile Service Quality (Contact, Responsiveness,  
Efficiency, Privacy, and Fulfillment), Customer Response  
(
Personal Innovativeness, Customer Satisfaction, and  
Customer Loyalty) and Demographic Information.  
Demographic information captured respondents’ profile such  
as Age, Gender, Education Level, and Monthly Income. We  
included a screening question at the beginning of the survey  
questionnaire to filter and ensure that respondents included in  
the study were those that met the pre-determined criteria of the  
target population which confined the respondents to those who  
have conducted the Online Food Delivery service only.  
H4: customer loyalty mediates the relationship between  
service quality and customer loyalty

.3 Personal Innovativeness  
Personal innovativeness is defined as the enthusiasm of an  
individual to try any new technology and an individual’s  
tendency to accept a new innovation earlier than others (1).  
Personal innovativeness is found as internal social motivation  
that determines the customer continuance intention in the  
mobile commerce post-adoption behaviors (29). Since  
customer satisfaction is a strong determinant of loyalty, there  
is a potential impact of personal innovativeness to influence  
the customers’ reaction toward this post-adoption of mobile-  
commerce. Some scholars have employed personal  
innovativeness as a moderator. For instance, Jeong, Yoo, &  
Heo demonstrated that personal innovativeness moderates the  
relationship between perceived need and purchase intention in  
mobile RFID service and found the negative effect of personal  
innovativeness (28). Another study by Jang & Lee also  
discovered the personal innovativeness as strong moderator in  
the association between reputation, trust, and entertainment

(
OFD) is as part of virtual mobile service, therefore, we used  
M-S-QUAL instrument to operationalize the OFDs’ mobile  
service quality. Three items were used to measure Personal  
Innovativeness (1), three items for Customer Satisfaction (35),  
and four items for customer attitudinal and behavioral loyalty

Results and Findings

.1 Correlation Analysis  
In this study, the original measures of the constructs were  
(
18). Respondent’s responses were measured using Likert  
multi-dimensional. Therefore, Cronbach Alpha reliability  
values were determined for each construct to ensure the  
consistencies of the scales. The values of the Cronbach alpha  
of the constructs were found to be at acceptable levels,  
suggesting the existence of consistency of the measurements  
since all the alpha values were above 0.70 (Table 2). The  
service quality variables showed high associations among  
them. Therefore, before conducting correlation and regression  
analyses, the constructs were checked for any possible  
multicollinearity problems. The collinearity statistics  
suggested that the associations between scales within each  
construct would not create severe multicollinearity problems  
since all the VIF values were below the threshold value of 10.  
As reveals in Table 3, the correlation analysis indicated that all  
service quality variables had positive and significant  
correlation with customer satisfaction and loyalty except  
personal innovativeness. Satisfaction exhibited high  
correlations with efficiency (.557), fulfillment (.460) and  
responsiveness (.402). On the other hand, loyalty  
demonstrated high correlations with fulfillment (.413),  
responsiveness (.427), contact (.432), and satisfaction (.605).  
Scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).

.2 Sample and Data Analysis  
The present study employed purposive random sampling  
since the sample frame is hard to discover. 158 usable  
responses from OFDs’ customers in Malaysia were received.  
As shown in Table 1, slightly more than half of the respondents  
of this study were female at 56.96 percent. Majority of the  
respondents were between 25-35 years of age (47.47%) and  
mostly had managed to obtain a Bachelor or Master degree.  
Majority of the respondents earned a monthly income of RM  
5000 and less.

The Mediated-Based Regression analyses were conducted

to test the proposed hypotheses. In this study, we tested H1,  
H2, and H3 using simple linear regression analyses. The  
mediated regression analyses were also performed to  
investigate the mediating role (2). Mediation analysis was  
conducted to test the mediating role of customer satisfaction in  
the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty  
association (H4). In the first step (first row of Table 4), SQ  
Hierarchical Moderated Regression Analysis was used to  
test the hypotheses regarding mediation and moderation.  
Regression analysis was used to test the mediation effect of  
customer satisfaction in the causal path between service  
quality and customer loyalty, while the moderating effect of  
personal innovativeness was analyzed using moderated  
regression analysis method (42). As suggested by Hair et al.,  
(
independent variable) exhibited positive and significant  
impact (beta = 0.505) on CL (dependent variable). In the  
second step (row 2), SQ demonstrated a positive and  
significant contribution (beta = 0.528) towards CS. The third  
step suggested that CS had a positive and significant  
association (beta = 0.258) with CL. The result of the last step  
in Table 4 indicated that when CS (mediator) was included in  
the final step (row 4), the result showed that SQ was still  
significant (beta = 0.468, sig. 0.000).  
(
2014), before testing the hypotheses, we assessed the  
variables for any multicollinearity problems. Multicollinearity  
test was conducted to check whether two or more variables in  
the regression model are highly correlated by examining the  
Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) threshold values. Table 2  
demonstrated that the VIF values were less than 10. The result  
suggested that the multicollinearity problem was not severe

Conclusion and Discussion  
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the  
relationships between customers perceived service quality of  
online food delivery service in Malaysia on customer  
satisfaction and customer loyalty. In addition, the study also  
examines the mediating role of customer satisfaction and the  
moderating effect of personal innovativeness on that  
relationship. We propose that high perceived service quality  
will enhance customer loyalty as well as the customer  
satisfaction in this relationship. This study provides evidence  
to support the hypothesis regarding mediation proposed and  
concludes that perceived service quality leads to loyalty via  
customer satisfaction (8). Thus, online food delivery providers  
must firstly attain customer satisfaction before they have the  
privilege of securing customer loyalty. Nonetheless, the nature  
of the mediation role of customer satisfaction in the OFD  
context is found to be partial. In addition, the result of the  
moderated regression analyses suggests that personal  
innovativeness moderates the customer satisfaction-customer  
loyalty link. However, the result fails to support that personal  
innovativeness has a moderation role on the service quality and  
customer loyalty linkage.

the positive relationships between SQ-CL, SQ-CS, CS-CL and  
SQ-CS-CL links. Thus, H1, H2, H3 and H4 were accepted.

4.3 Moderated Regression Analysis  
In testing the moderation effect using the moderated  
regression analysis, we used the overall values (mean) for all  
main constructs and later the standardized Z-scores of all  
constructs were predetermined (3). Table 5 summarized the  
steps performed in the moderated regression analyses. H2a  
proposed that personal innovativeness had a moderating role  
on customer satisfaction-customer loyalty link. The result of  
Model 3 showed that personal innovativeness negatively  
moderated the relationship between customer satisfaction and  
loyalty ( = -0.173; p<0.05). The result implied that when  
personal innovativeness was at a higher level, customer  
satisfaction had a lower effect on customer loyalty. However,  
the significant result suggested that personal innovativeness  
moderated the customer satisfaction-customer loyalty link.  
Therefore, Hypothesis H2a was accepted. On the other hand,  
H3a proposed the moderating effect of personal  
innovativeness on service quality-customer loyalty  
relationship. In model 4, the results show that  = 0.080 which  
indicates that service quality and customer loyalty was not  
significantly moderated by personal innovativeness.  
Therefore, Hypothesis H3a was rejected.

Many researchers agree with the notion that service quality  
has positive influence on customer satisfaction and customer  
loyalty and therefore can be considered as a very robust tool to  
enhance customer performances which ultimately leads to  
increased sales. In the context of online food delivery, it  
implies that when customer perceived service quality as high,  
it will enhance customer loyalty (25). Moreover, service  
quality also is found to be positively associated with customer  
satisfaction. This finding suggests that managers must  
understand their service elements and provide what the  
customers need in enhancing their loyalty.  
The findings of the study also suggest that the service  
quality dimensions are positively related to customer loyalty.  
Among other dimensions, responsiveness is found to have the  
highest correlation with customer loyalty. It indicates that in  
order for the customer to become loyal, OFD firm must pay  
attention to deliver the service responsively. For example, if  
the service fails to deliver the food ordered, the representative  
of the company must rectify the problem by either providing a  
good explanation or replacement or compensation whenever  
the service failure happened. This is very important since an  
unsatisfied customer may tell others of his or her bad  
experiences.  
The result from the moderated regression analysis also  
provides interesting results. We discover that personal  
innovativeness has a negative moderating effect on the  
relationship between customer satisfaction and customer  
loyalty. This means that a customer with high personal  
innovativeness will decrease the significance of customer  
satisfaction-loyalty relationship. The majority of OFD users  
are young people who are mostly engaged with activities  
involving the usage of technological and innovative tools.  
They have no problem getting the information and switching  
to another OFD provider if they feel their needs are not  
attended to. The switching behavior usually happens when  
other OFD providers also offering the same services but with  
cheaper prices. Thus, a company must continuously improve  
their OFD service by considering consumerspersonal  
innovativeness. By understanding their nature and  
characteristics, it will lead themto form a new market segment.  
As the limitation of this study, firstly, our sample of 158  
online food delivery service is somewhat small. Future studies  
on service quality, especially online service quality, can  
perform studies by collecting larger sample size and adopting  
different improved measures of service quality in order to  
adapt to the existing trend. Secondly, in relation to the  
mediating role, future study should include other potential  
consequences besides customer satisfaction to be investigated  
in service quality and loyalty relationship. Finally, since  
personal innovativeness is one of many other personal internal  
characteristics, other possible moderators, e.g., self-efficacy,  
self-consciousness, interpersonal interactions, novelty-seeking  
etc, can be considered for future investigation.
