Abstrakt: This study examined the mediating effect of customer gratitude as well as the moderating influences of perceived customer centricity and perceived emotional competence on the relationship between idiosyncratic service experiences and brand love. A sample of 1,160 customers of targeted luxury restaurants was gathered. The results indicate that idiosyncratic service experiences lead to customer gratitude, especially when customers perceive stronger customer centricity. Customer gratitude in turn leads to brand love, particularly when customers perceive high emotional competence in employees. Moreover, perceived customer centricity and perceived emotional competence respectively serve as first- and second-stage moderators affecting the predictors of brand love. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
