LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction of Literature Review
Underpinning Theory
Two theories have been used as the reference, Theory of Planned Behaviour and Servqual Theory. The theory of planned behaviour is extension from the reasoned action theory which added perceived behaviour control (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980; Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975).
The study of the behavioural intention at KLIA is placed one of the variables in theory planned behaviour perceived behaviour control is crucial element to be extended. This is due to perceived behaviour control encompasses of beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and behaviour. The other reason is in the TPB stated that there have direct link between PBC and BI and will produce Behavioural Performance.(Ajzen, 1991)

Self-Efficacy is internal motivation and beliefs that imply the PBC and directly will impact the BI. (Zolait, 2011)
The service quality is vital to complement the customer experience to purchase the product in the airport environment. The service quality or Servqual have five components encompasses of tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy. (Prasuraman 1994}
Airport service quality literature and research is different compared to SERQUAL because it’s more precise and attribute to the model of the airports. (Fodness & Murray, 2007). Reflect to this, researcher develop the model based on SERVQUAL to focus on the retail business despite many features existing in the airport business model.
Conceptual Theory
Apart from that, the environment create tendency for the customer to purchase the product. Therefore, environment or known as servicescape of the airports is crucial to assist in the purchasing process. The servicescape of the airport affected the passenger perception (Bitner, 1992). Servicescape has been extended by (Jeon and Kim, 2012) who stated that servicescape related to the emotional and behavioural intention. The argument on the criticality of servicescape has been strengthen despite of the former research clarified that this factor has minimum effect on behavioural intention and major importance of human factor.(Bogicevic,

switching, word of mouth etc.(Jen et al., 2011). It is added by atmospheric impact (Rajic & Dado, 2013) and technology (Abdullah, 2012). The service quality element known as ‘empathy’ more impact to meet satisfaction level compared to other 4 elements. (Anand, 2016).
The Behavioural Intentions is more focus to the post purchase impact. The behavioural intention is vital and should be managed effectively that can be used to retain the existing customer. Behavioural intention can provide many strategic advantages, such as positive word of mouth communication, increased in revenue and etc. (Transportu, Transportu, Cie, & Indonezji, 2015)
Behavioural intention has been studied in many industries such as airline industry (Singh, 2015), hotel industry (Ladhari, 2009), ethnic restaurant (Ha & Jang, 2012), chain store restaurant (Chou, Wu, & Huang, 2014) and also in sports environment (Biscaia et al., 2013) and healthcare services(Anand, 2016). The combination of the past research will be a good sign for the airport research specifically for KLIA. This research will be based on retail business to focus on customer behavioural intention despite of limited empirical research for the airport
Social cognitive theory (SCT) and the Trans-theoretical Model (TTM) are two often utilized frameworks to comprehend and forecast changes in physical activity behavior. Both theories offer insightful perspectives on the psychological and social elements affecting changes in physical exercise behavior. Which strategy, however, has contributed the most significantly to forecasting increases in physical activity is still up for discussion. In this paper, TTM and SCT will be compared and their individual contributions to the field will be assessed.
The Socio-behaviorist theory (behaviorism) Socio-behaviorists often study how children 's experiences model their behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Behaviorism believes that what matters is not the development itself, but the external factors that shape children 's behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). This theory demonstrates that teachers and mentors dominate and instruct child-related activities, and they decide what children should learn and how to learn (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Reinforcement, which is an essential factor that helps children to learn particular behaviors, generally refers to rewards and punishments (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Children are more likely to repeat actions that result in receiving praise; in contrast, they may ignore or abandon behaviors that make them get punishment.
Social process theory has several subdivisions including: social control theory, social learning theory and social reaction (labeling) theory (will only focus on social control theory). Social control theory insinuates every person has the possibility of becoming a criminal, but most people are influenced by their bonds to society. It contends that individuals obey the law and are less likely to commit crime if they have: learned self-control, attachment (to family, friends, peers, education, etc.), commitment (to school, learning, etc.), involvement (in leisure activities, sports, etc.), and belief (those that are positive). According to social control theory, an individual is more likely to be criminal/deviant if they are detached and alienated (from friends, education, family, etc.),
Social model often ensures physical and mental health and broader sphere of participating in active life. The model permits most understated discrimination of people that succeed to lead productive lives irrespective of physical damage. The disadvantage of social model is the approach that runs the threat of excessive breadth and to incorporate all life. Therefore, they do not differentiate among the state to become healthy the concerns of being healthy neither do they differentiate among “health” and “health determinants”.
However, in the recent years, Ryanair keep changes and make a development on its brand image and made a lot of efforts to attract more customers and use the past bad experienced to teach them to become better in future. After Ryanair faced all the challenges in the airline business for many years, it is managed to become a biggest low-fares airline in the Europe and use the low fares as a competitive advantage of Ryanair. In this report, we are required to perform a SWOT analysis, evaluate four criteria of sustainable competitive advantage, discuss the two primary value chain activities which are operation and sales and marketing, and finally we need to discuss the impact of two external environmental factors that challenge Ryanair company to remain competitive in the airline industry. 1.
Competitiveness Airports operate in a highly competitive environment and therefore encourage developments which make the airport sector more responsive to the needs of their passenger and airline customers. Competition in the airline sector has been a driver of innovation and cost reduction and has delivered major benefits for consumers in terms of increased choice and value. Effective competition between airports is clearly something to be encouraged for the same reasons. “Within the aviation industry, MRO, ground handling, catering, CRS and freight forwarding created economic profits, but these were much more than offset by economic losses by airlines and airports. Airlines were responsible for the large USD17 billion of economic losses globally.
Ryanair is a famous low-cost airline company which was established in 1985 by Tony Ryan family. It’s headquartered in Ireland and provides services across Europe. Ryanair was built on Southwest Airlines model, which is highly successful in US, and now Ryanair is one of the most successful and profitable low-cost airlines in the world. In this work, I would like to analyse Ryanair’s external and internal strengths and imperfections.
Since opportunity to target women was catered by Song, it shows how well they are consistent with external consistency. The threat of competitors declined as well because of their sound strategic implementations. Moreover, we can judge their external consistency by applying porter five forces model. Porter five forces model • Threat of new entrant: Threat of new entrant is quite low because of high capital requirement and lower margins in low-cost airline segment. In addition, market share in this segment is fragmented, which is why it not that easy to snatch market share from existing employees.
United Airlines is the second largest air career in the world. It was established in 1927 from the merger of 4 companies. In this essay, Q1 will discuss marketing environment of UAL and how changes in the environment can impact it; Q2 will define segmentation, market segment, targeting and positioning and how UAL uses to segment its market in order to grow then in Q3 SWOT and its components will be defined and applied on UAL. Q (1.a): Marketing environment refers to “The actors and forces outside the marketing department that affect marketing management’s ability to build and maintain successful relationships with target customers” (Kotler, 2011). And it consists of Micro environment and Macro environment.
Teacher Efficacy was first conceived by The RAND( Research and Development ) researchers United States, with its theoretical base, grounded in Rotter’s Social Learning Theory (1966).According to them Teacher Efficacy is the extent to which Teachers believed that they could control the reinforcement of their actions, that is, whether control of reinforcement lay within them or in the environment. Student motivation and performance were assumed to be significant reinforces for teaching behaviors. Thus, Teachers with a high level of Efficacy believed that they could control, or at least strongly influence, student achievement and motivation, thus the concept of Teacher Efficacy was originated. Teacher Efficacy has been defined as "the extent to which the Teacher believes he or she has the capacity to affect student performance" (Berman, McLaughlin, Bass, Pauly, & Zellman, 1977, p. 137), or as "Teachers ' belief or conviction that they can influence how well students learn, even those who may be difficult or unmotivated" (Guskey & Passaro, 1994, p. 4).
JetBlue’s operations strategy is evident from its choice of location from which they operate since location setup is one of the most important strategic decisions in operations management. They placed their main operations headquarter in the New York City, a city with the population of almost 19 million people (jetBlue, 2013). This fact alone helps them to fly their airlines in their full capacity almost all the time which ensures their business profitability. Their choice of locations fulfills the first and foremost part of the operations management, demand and competition location. It is easily understandable that it is a good practice to choose location of an organization where the product or service they are giving will have demand and will have enough population to maintain the level of demand.
The organizations that in various ways are customers of the airport have been summarized as “business, commerce, tourism, arts, sports, and education organizations” (Upham 2003). Some organizations are direct users of the airport by importing or exporting services (i.e. business travellers) and goods (raw materials or finished goods). Other organizations are indirect customers of the airport as a result of their customers (e.g. tourists) traveling through the airport. The term “organizations” is used to encompass both for- profit and not-for-profit
The airports provide the airline with information such as; the destinations preferred by the customers in the particular
Consumer is one who consumes the goods & services product. The aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy the Consumer needs and wants. The modern marketing concept makes customers the centre stage of organisation efforts. The focus, within the marketing concepts is to reach target and largest customer’s sets ball rolling for analysing each of the conditions of the target market1. Consumer behaviour can be defined as “the decision making process and physical activity involved in acquiring, evaluating, using and disposing of goods and services”.
Therefore this research will make use of the Extended Technology Acceptance Model with Theory of Planned Behavior and Theory of Perceived Risk
