Hi, Charles:

Its a wonderful topic.  Service quality is vital to the success of any service organization. Please take a look at the following two research studies that you may find useful for your current research:

In this study, Walsh, Dinnie and Wiedman (2006) analyzed whether perceived corporate reputation and customer satisfaction are directly associated with customer intention using structural equation modeling based on the responses to a written questionnaire of 462 customers of a large German utility. The authors found a non-significant and weak relationship between corporate reputation and switching intention. The postulated impact of customer satisfaction on customer switching intention was confirmed. Corporate reputation and customer satisfaction were found to be strongly correlated. The authors argued that the importance of reputation and satisfaction will ultimately be assessed on the basis of their customer-related consequences and their economic relevance to companies! 

• Walsh, G., Dinnie, K., & Wiedmann, K. (2006). How do corporate reputation and customer satisfaction impact customer defection? A study of private energy customers in Germany. Journal Of Services Marketing, 20(6/7), 412-420.

In this study, Boon-Liat and Zabid (2013) adopted a systematic sampling approach to collect data through self-administered questionnaires from 500 Malaysian hotel guests. The findings revealed that perception of service quality is significantly related to customer satisfaction, which in turn generates positive customer loyalty in the hotel industry. Besides, corporate image is found to be a partial mediator in the relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. The authors argued that findings of this study would help hotel operators to formulate and implement effective marketing management strategies to cope with the keen competition in the hotel service industry!

Hope this helps!

You may want to have a look at Hair at al's book on Multivariate Data Analysis. The newest version has quite a lot about SEM modelling in it, and I seem to remember that moderation and mediation were also covered.

hello,

there are many books for this. I like the debra byrne books and the robert Ping approaches here.

I am not sure how many items you have and whether this will lead to too many prohibitive cross-product terms but PLS and SmartPLS may offer an alternative.

My articles are worth consulting if that is the case
