Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel independen kualitas layanan inti yang diajukan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap positive word of mouth, sedangkan variabel independen kualitas layanan tambahan yang diajukan berpengaruh positif namun tidak signifikan terhadap positive word of mouth.
