The verifications from hypothesis 1 to hypothesis 7 were as follows. First, the hypothesis 1 of “Environmental clue will have positive influence on internal response” was adopted. Secondly, the hypothesis 2 of “Service encounter will have positive influence on internal response” was adopted. Third, the hypothesis 3 of “Environmental clue will have positive influence on behavior intention” was rejected. Fourth, the hypothesis 4 of “Service encounter will have positive influence on behavior intention” was rejected. Fifth, the hypothesis 5 of “Internal response will have positive influence on behavior intention” was adopted. Sixth, the hypothesis 6 of “Environmental clue will have positive influence on behavior intention through internal response” was adopted.
