The statistical population includes marketing and banking experts and managers (board members and managers of several private and public banks) to analyze customer behavior who were selected using theoretical sampling method. The structural equation modeling was conducted using partial least squares method based on variance. The statistical population, more than 100,000 people, includes the selected customers of Bank Mellat in Golestan province with a long history of working with the bank.
