Popis: With an emphasis on the mediating role of relational psychological contracts, this study sets out to investigate the structural connection between perceived organizational support (POS), service quality (SERVQ), and customer satisfaction (CS). Using descriptive and inferential statistics, we tested the heuristic model for the relationship using data from 394 clients at selected banks in Nigeria. It was found that both perceived organizational support and service quality significantly affected customer satisfaction, with the former serving as a predictor of the latter. In addition, a positive and statistically significant influence of the relational psychological contract was found in the connection between “POS” and CS, and perceived organizational support and SERVQ. In addition, it was determined that banks must maintain all required standards in gaining customers by continually providing a higher degree of service to keep clients satisfied. The structural nexus between the identified variables stood out as a novel idea with a heuristic model depicted for business practitioners and society’s opportunities.
