Abstract

This research uses student happiness as a mediator to evaluate how brand image and service quality affect student loyalty. Quantitative research was used, and SEM with Partial Least Square (PLS) was used to examine the data. This study's independent variables include brand image and service quality, while student loyalty and satisfaction are the dependent and mediating factors. An online Google Form quiz used a Likert scale to gather data. Purposive sampling was used to choose 77 Makassar English Grammar Institute pupils. Student satisfaction mediates the favorable and substantial effects of brand image and service quality on student loyalty.
