Este artigo tem como objetivo ampliar os horizontes do debate sobre a indicação presidencial para o cargo de Ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal no Brasil por meio da exploração dos mecanismos pelos quais se pode antecipar expectativas de comportamento dos Ministros. Após uma análise da discussão atual sobre o tema, que destaca a influência como um dos principais objetivos na escolha de indicados ao STF, apresentamos e discutimos os mecanismos pelos quais essa influência pode ser esperada pelo presidente: ideologia, lealdade e gratidão. Com base nisso, formulamos hipóteses sobre o comportamento judicial de Ministros que tenham sido indicados por meio de um desses mecanismos, em detrimento dos outros, e fornecemos evidências anedóticas de que presidentes indicam Ministros com expectativas de lealdade e gratidão. Além disso, observamos que a manifestação desses elementos no comportamento dos Ministros, embora criticada, também é esperada por outros atores políticos.

We present in this paper a hypothesized model with antecedent variables of loyalty towards a website (website quality, reputation, security, perceived benefit and trust) and the mediating role of perceived value in this relationship. The collection was carried out through an online survey in which 243 respondents participated. The data obtained were analyzed by means of structural equation modeling with estimation of the correlation matrix by partial least squares. Even though 10 (of the 14) hypotheses were confirmed, neither the safety perceived by the internet user, nor the reputation of the website were significant to explain the loyalty of the sample. This shows a crucial point for marketing managers to address, given that users’ perception of these constructs reveals a gap in relation to the ideal scenario.

This research aimed to analyze the relationship between social media, trust, satisfaction, and loyalty of HEI students. Data collection took place through an online questionnaire, which obtained a sample of 239 students. The proposed model was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). This research contributed to the scientific literature on social media in the educational field by creating and testing a model capable of identifying the relationship between social media, trust, satisfaction, and loyalty of HEI students, which provides a better understanding of the contributions of social media to institutions. The results indicate that students' confidence and satisfaction with HEIs influence their loyalty. They also point out that the use of social media by students and the communication generated by other students in social media influence trust in HEIs, while the communication generated by HEIs in social media influences trust and satisfaction. Finally, the results reveal that social media represent a relevant strategic tool for HEIs, allowing them to build and manage their relationship with the target audience better, generating trust, satisfaction, and loyalty.

No atual cenário financeiro observa-se crescente busca por resultados financeiros e participação de mercado. Neste contexto ocorre o trabalho das instituições financeiras cooperativas que apesar de forte relacionamento com as pessoas enfrentam dificuldades na obtenção da principalidade financeira de seus associados. Dessa forma, este estudo procura compreender os fatores impactantes no processo de compra ou adesão de consumidores a uma instituição financeira cooperativa pesquisando o comportamento dos consumidores na avaliação das alternativas e na tomada de decisão de compra com o objetivo compreender melhor essa relação gerando conhecimento e informações para a instituição se necessário ajustar seu comportamento, alinhado com as expectativas de seus associados e consumidores para obter lealdade, tornando essa a sua principal instituição financeira.

São muitos os fatores que estão ligados a confiança, a lealdade, o vínculo emocional e a conexão com a marca. Este estudo tem como objetivo relacionar cada um destes aspectos para que se obtenha uma conexão pessoal com a marca. Foi baseado em dados empíricos coletados de fonte primária por meio de um questionário aplicado a 179 respondentes. Com o estudo, pôde-se perceber que os aspectos citados anteriormente são conquistados gradativamente, por exemplo, dificilmente uma marca conquista a lealdade de seus clientes, sem antes conquistar a sua confiança. Os resultados do estudo demonstram que há uma forte relação entre afeto e conexão pessoal, entre confiança e conexão emocional e entre lealdade atitudinal e conexão emocional. Podemos concluir que os resultados estão de acordo com o que diz Vlachos et al. (2010), que considera que criar um forte vínculo emocional com a marca requer focar em vários fatores funcionais e psicológicos.

Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as influências da Percepção Ética na lealdade dos consumidores foi desenvolvido este estudo. Metodologia: Foram realizados grupos de foco que visaram explorar as dimensões da CPE no contexto do mercado em estudo. Em seguida foi realizado um experimento de laboratório com 270 respondentes, visando verificar como comportamentos éticos de uma corporação afetam a confiança, comprometimento e lealdade de seus consumidores. Um modelo hipotético integrativo foi testado através de modelagem de equações estruturais. Principais resultados: Os resultados demonstraram que o modelo foi capaz de explicar 70,3% da lealdade. O comportamento ético afetou fortemente a confiança, e significativamente e em menor impacto o comprometimento. Os resultados indicam que o trinômio ética-confiança-comprometimento trabalha de forma integrada em situações éticas fomentando a lealdade. Contribuições acadêmicas: A confiança é um sentimento de segurança detido pelo cliente em sua interação com a marca e baseia-se nas percepções de que a marca é confiável e responsável pelos interesses e pelo bem-estar do consumidor. Neste sentido as principais contribuições deste trabalho são a inclusão da ética na cadeia nomológica da lealdade das empresas, bem como indicar seus impactos na confiança e comprometimento. Contribuições Práticas: A confiança é significativamente afetada pela percepção ética, apresentando uma afirmação aos gerentes de que suas ações são acompanhadas de pertos pelos consumidores e eles devem adotar medidas rápidas para conter os eventuais problemas de uma percepção não ética, a empresa deve ser sincera com o cliente, responder as falhas rapidamente.

Objective: Although the sharing economy is a global phenomenon, being a path to create international brands with a worldwide customer reach, the relationship between virtual brands and users' in this new sector remains underexplored, leading us to investigate the relation between brand personality and users' loyalty to virtual brands. Method: Survey with 580 users of ride apps, using structural equation modeling to test the prediction of brand personality on user's loyalty. Results: The present research depicts the intangible aspects of the relationship between users and brands in the digital environment, revealing the personality traits of virtual brands and the impact on customer loyalty in the context of the sharing economy. Credibility and audacity are the most prominent characteristics of virtual brands, being credibility, reflecting the users' trust in the brand, the main driver of loyalty. Contributions: These findings contribute to the relationship marketing body of knowledge; in a sense, it provides information about how customers relate to their favorite virtual brands and indicates an antecedent of relationship marketing. Customer brand relationship studies also benefit from our results since we suggest important factors that enable positive associations about a brand in consumers' minds. Relevance/Originality: This study represents a seminal step in investigating the relational aspects of the interaction between users and virtual brands in the sharing economy, which has brought the need to rethink brand management and brand positioning in the context of virtual brands.

The current study explores variables associated with the loyalty of dairy farmers to dairy processors in the Brazilian context. A multivariate discrete choice (Logit) model and alternative formulations assess the associations between loyalty metrics and farm and processor characteristics for a sample of 32 dairy farmers in 16 municipalities at the Zona da Mata in Minas Gerais. Twenty-two dairy processors were identified as milk buyers in the area studied, but each farmer indicated that they could sell to an average of five alternative buyers of milk. Farmers’ attributes such as production scale or the technological level are not statistically significantly associated with loyalty in this sample. The current milk price paid to farmers in our sample is not associated with increased loyalty (sales to a single processor for 6 or more years) in all estimated models; although, further research on this impact is merited to inform buyer-pricing policy. Variables associated with increased loyalty include payment of premiums for quality, farmer years of experience and cooperation among farmers in the purchase of inputs. Delayed payment is associated with reduced loyalty. We could not determine the effect of participation in technical assistance programs offered by processors on loyalty, because in our sample all farmers received free university-provided technical assistance. The payment of a premium based on milk volume was also unassociated with loyalty determination. The small size of our sample limits the ability to generalize our results but provides exploratory results that facilitate future investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Devido às mudanças do mercado e à necessidade do governo de fornecer educação aos cidadãos, o Brasil experimentou um processo de crescimento no ensino superior. Assim, de forma crescente, com transformações competitivas e constantes, as demandas por serviços de qualidade tornaram-se um denominador comum nas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), o qual expôs a necessidade de otimizar a gestão para que as instituições públicas melhorem seu desempenho em benefício dos estudantes. Ao contrário das outras empresas, que têm como objetivo a satisfação, essas IES geralmente percebem a satisfação como um meio para um fim. Ou seja, estudantes satisfeitos são estudantes leais. Assim, nesta pesquisa, o Modelo Europeu de Satisfação (ECSI) foi aplicado a 1.581 estudantes de 23 universidades públicas e livres no Brasil. Como resultado, observou-se que a satisfação é um fator determinante da lealdade. Entre os determinantes de satisfação, observou-se que a imagem, o tratamento das reivindicações e o valor percebido são os mais representativos. Dessa forma, a gestão eficiente da imagem da IES pública, o tratamento adequado das reivindicações dos estudantes e a percepção de que o investimento de esforço e tempo gerará ganhos futuros têm uma influência positiva e significativa na continuidade do aluno no mundo.
