1. Introduction

The success of College in increasing student satisfaction will be able to

maintain the number of new-student applicants, so that the college will continue

growing and developing sustainably1,2

. College as one of service organizations

is currently experiencing a fundamental change. This change is not only due to

the rapid development of science, technology and information, but also because

of the changes in society's expectations of the role of colleges in the future3.

Such activity can run if the institution has the resources as follows: (1)

students4,5,6

6 (2) reputation7,8

; (3) adequate facilities and infrastructure9,10

; (4)

funding11,12,13,14

. Theoretically, customer or student loyalty is influenced by

several factors such as learning, quality of service and satisfaction15,16

Colleges need to be aware of the importance of the service quality of education.

A good service quality is able to improve customer satisfaction17

. This means

that the ability of colleges to provide a fast and proper service to students will

increase students’ satisfaction in STIE Enam Enam Kendari. Overall, the

number of students of STIE Enam Enam Kendari experienced significant

growth from 2012 to 2015. This indicates that the college competition is

increasing more, so that requires STIE Enam Enam Kendari make

improvements in the quality of learning systems and services which are

expected to provide satisfaction and loyalty to students18

.

Not much different from public services of the government officials in other

institutions, STIE Enam Enam Kendari as one of the colleges in Kendari, still

has weaknesses. It is characterized by various complaints from students, such as

about the learning system reflected in the lesson plan; the lecturer does not

provide SAP and GBPP before starting the course, about the teaching quality of

the lecturer which is reflected on the inconsistency of material that was

delivered with SAP that has been prepared. In addition, the student complaint

was also about the service quality of STIE Enam Enam Kendari, such as the

inadequate lecture rooms, lecturers Performance which is less convincing and

professionalism of administrative staffs in providing services to students.

Based on the above empirical phenomena, it is interesting to conduct further

investigation. Therefore, this study takes an object at STIE Enam Enam Kendari

as one of the private colleges that have responsibilities in providing services to

students and lecturers optimally.

The research conducted by Yassyir Maulana, Murti Astuti, Surachman in 2012

with the research variables are Servqual, Satisfaction, Student Loyalty, used the

analysis method of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), which uses

estimation in determining the sample. The estimation in this study uses the ML

or Maximum Likelihood. The result of research shows that there is significant

difference between the variables of servqual and student satisfaction, there is a

significant difference between the variables of student satisfaction and student

loyalty, there is no significant difference between the variable of SERVQUAL

and the student loyalty. Then, Ade Titi Nifita in 2011, with the variables of

trust, satisfaction and loyalty, the method of analysis used was multiple linear

regression method, assumption test consisting of multicollinearity test and

autocorrelation test, F test and t test. Based on the results of F test, it is known

that F value showed 21.309 with a significance level of F = 0.000 or smaller

than 0.05. This may imply that simultaneously or jointly X1 = trust and X2 =

satisfaction significantly affect the student loyalty and partially each variable

has a significant effect on student loyalty. Meanwhile, the satisfaction variable

has the most dominant influence on loyalty compared to other variables with the

t was 3.646. Furthermore, research conducted by Indah Dwi Prasetyaningrum in

2009, with the research variables were learning quality and service quality in

relation to student satisfaction and loyalty of Undaris Ungaran. This research

was conducted by survey method. The data was obtained by distributing

questionnaires to 170 respondents. The population in this study was students of

Undaris Ungaran starting from the academic year of 2004/2005 until the

academic year of 2008/2009, as many as 1144 students. The samples taken were

decided to be 150 students. The sampling method used was purposive sampling

which is the technique of sampling with a certain considerations. Data were

analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with AMOS 4.0 with

maximum likelihood estimation.

2. Method

This research is explanatory research19

. Explanatory research is a research that

describes a causal relationship among variables which affect the hypothesis20

. In

this study, there are minimum two variables that are connected, and this

research functions to explain, predict and control a symptom. Therefore, this

study will explain the interactive relationship among variables to be studied and

how far the relationship affects each other. The population in this study were

students who use the services of STIE Enam Enam Kendari starting from

academic year of 2010/2011 until 2014/2015 consisting of 1114 students,

whereby the number of samples was adjusted using an analysis tool being used

that was Structural Equation Model (SEM)21

. This study consists of four

variables and 15 indicators. The number of samples was taken from eight times

the estimated number of parameters. Thus, the sample size used was 120

respondents22,23,24

.

3. Findings and Discussion

Hypothesis testing confirms that the more satisfy, the more loyal the students to

STIE Enam Enam Kendari. This means that the improvement of student

satisfaction will increase the loyalty of students to STIE Enam Enam Kendari.

The underlying logic of thinking is the loyalty of students to STIE Enam Enam

Kendari will be achieved when students feel proud to be a student of STIE

Enam Enam Kendari, the charged cost is appropriate with the benefits obtained,

the proper and the fastness of service, and the appropriate concentration that is

needed by the students.

The results of this study confirm some of the results of empirical research which

concluded that customer satisfaction gives positive and significant impact on

customer loyalty to the products or companies25

. The Increase of customer

satisfaction is in line with the increase of customer loyalty to the company. On

the basis of these ideas, if the management party of STIE EnamEnamKendari

wants to increase the loyalty of the students, one of the aspects that should be

improved is the student satisfaction. One of the reasons why customers move

from one service company to another service company is because the customers

are not satisfied with the quality26

of the service or with the way of dealing with

the problems. When customers are not satisfied with what they got or when they

have problems, they might respond by exiting and switching to other service

providers, voice (trying to solve the problem by expressing complaints), being

loyal (still being with their providers and hoping something better will happen

in the future)27

..

Today, student satisfaction becomes one of the main keys for the college to

continue to grow and develop because if students were not getting a good

service then the students will simply move to other colleges are considered able

to provide better service28

. Student satisfaction means a manifestation of

strategies and tactics of a company (college) to face the competitors' strategies

and tactics29,30,31

29-31. Building student loyalty is a strategic policy for the

company, because the company views the student loyalty is part of the

company's strategy to face the competitors and connect the company to the

market (consumers). Student loyalty is needed as an element in a competitive

marketing strategy32,33

. In particular, to face the increasingly-competitive

market conditions, companies often rely their future on customer loyalty. The

important provide of references as the basis of this study. This study

investigated the relationship between student satisfaction and loyalty. The

achieved result becomes an important justification as the reference that the

relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty is positive.

Therefore, for most companies, the customer loyalty is often identified as a

guarantee for short-term and long term benefits for the company34,35

.

Based on the result of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)36

, it was noted that

the biggest indicator in reflecting the student satisfaction is the quality of

service based on students' perceptions about the appropriateness and the

fastness of the service of education personnel of STIE Enam Enam Kendari. In

this step, the fastness and appropriateness in handling the students are crucial.

Dissatisfaction can be even greater if students feel that their needs are not

serviced properly. This condition can make them have bad prejudice and are

hurt so that it gives impact on the student loyalty. Besides, the aspect that

should be improved in realizing customer satisfaction based on priority is to do

some of the following: the cost of education should match the quality provided.

By paying the high cost of education, the college is expected to give parallel

quality in the learning process. The pride of being a student of STIE Enam

Enam Kendari also needs to be improved by involving students in academic

decision making in STIE Enam Enam Kendari, so that later the students feel

being part of a big family of STIE Enam Enam Kendari. The creation of

customer satisfaction can provide several benefits, including having harmonious

relationship between the company and customers, providing a good basis for the

re-purchase and for the building of customer loyalty, as well as creating word-

of-mouth recommendation that benefits the company

4. Conclusion

the student satisfaction, the higher the student loyalty to STIE Enam Enam

Kendari is. High loyalty will have an impact on the students’ will to give

recommendations to others to continue their education at STIE Enam Enam

Kendari students and on their will to give complaints with in order to improve

the services that are considered unsatisfying.
