Moreover, prior of the inferential analysis, the results of internal reliability test (Cronbach’s Alpha) indicated that the measurement scales were consistent and reliable in measuring the proposed constructs. According to results generated from Multiple Linear Regression and Simple Linear Regression, all the variables (brand image, customer satisfaction, perceived risk and perceived value) except for trust indicating a significant positive relationship.
