ABSTRACT
This study explored the association between brand personality (BP), brand trust (BT)
and brand commitment (BC) in relation to two mobile service providers, Turkcell and
Telsim. The study employed an approach using a survey to collect data from
international students residing in TRNC. The sample consisted of 228 students
selected through convenience sampling. The survey included validated scales from
studies to measure brand personality brand trust and brand commitment. Through
correlation and regression analyses the collected data were examined to uncover the
relationships between these variables. The findings reveal a positive correlation
between BP and BC among both Turkcell and Telsim users. This highlights the
importance of maintaining a BP in fostering BC. Additionally, the study demonstrates
an association between BP and BT suggesting that a defined and relatable BP
encourages higher levels of BT. Similarly, respondents displayed high levels of BT
towards both mobile service providers, which contributes to their BC. Furthermore,
the study confirms that BT plays a mediating role by mediating the relationship,
between BP and BC. These findings indicate that carefully shaping a BP can enhance
the trust consumers have in the brand leading to commitment. For marketing managers
and stakeholders in the mobile service industry, these findings have implications. It is
crucial to align the BP with what consumers expect as this plays a role in building BT
and BC. The study highlights the importance of using BP as a marketing tool helping
to differentiate and communicate strategically to foster commitment and trust in the
brand. However, while this study provides insights, future research could explore how
cultural differences impact these relationships and incorporate approaches to gain
deeper insights into consumer perspectives.
