    Abstract

    Today, the business world is based on "customer satisfaction" in such a way that expanding services and even providing them without considering this principle is not only difficult, but also impossible. The intensity of competition in the markets and the understanding of the importance of keeping customers has made banks gradually take steps towards maintaining long-term relationships with customers. Today, in order to prevent customers from turning towards competitors, managers should more than ever seek to understand the demands and needs of customers in order to better meet their needs and establish long-term business relationships with them. Customer satisfaction is considered as a law by which companies manage the relationship with their customers. Generally, customer satisfaction is defined as the overall evaluation of customers based on the purchase and consumption experience of products and services. The concept of "relational marketing" has attracted significant research attention from marketing researchers during the last two decades. The basic and fundamental advantage of the relational marketing approach claims to create stronger relationships with customers, which increases performance results that include sales growth, market share, profits, return on investment and customer retention. The current research method is regression-correlation type. For this purpose, a questionnaire with 29 questions has been designed. The results of data analysis using SPSS software indicate the positive effects of relational marketing dimensions on customer satisfaction, and finally, the use of relational marketing dimensions (trust, commitment, communication, shared value, mutual relations) is suggested for banks to create customer satisfaction.

    Keywords: Relationship marketing, customer satisfaction, trust, commitment, establishing communication, shared value, mutual relations.

    1-1) Introduction

    In any economy, the financial sector and specifically banks are interpreted as the driving engine in the process of achieving growth through appropriate and optimal allocation of resources to economic productive sectors. Banks are defined as service providers to customers. Banks and financial institutions are defined as intermediaries of funds between depositors and investors. Banks are defined as a business entity with the purpose of generating income from expenses incurred during commercial activity (Raisi Dehkordi, 2017-18)

    On the other hand, considering the economic conditions prevailing in the country's banking system, which face difficulties in bank transactions and opening LCs and do not allow remittances from our country to other countries; Also, foreign commercial companies are subject to fines for conducting commercial transactions with our country, the National Bank and other banks have encountered many problems in carrying out their activities (Moradi, 2012, 49).

    As economic institutions, banks always seek to fulfill the expectations and needs of their customers. Banks and financial institutions must be able to provide their services in a way that creates value (satisfaction) in customers and in their main task. which is to satisfy the customer to be successful. Organizations are victorious in this quantitative and qualitative competition whose managers adapt their organization to the environmental conditions and improve the internal conditions. On the one hand, the profitability of a company, which guarantees its survival, depends on the design of the correct market management plan based on satisfying the needs of customers (Bahirai, 2011, 29).

    Today, banks and financial institutions seek to attract customers and increase their satisfaction, constant communication with customers is particularly important, and on the other hand, competition among banks and loan institutions in the variety of banking services has increased. (Rajabi, 2013, 2015).

    The closer and more intimate the relationship between the organization and customers, the closer they can be made to the organization (Bahirai, 2013, 2014).

    The concept of relational marketing has received significant research attention from marketing researchers during the last two decades. The basic and fundamental advantage of the relational marketing approach is to create stronger relationships with customers that increase performance results that include sales growth, market share, profits, return on investment, and customer retention (Nguyin, 2011).. [1]

    In this research, the effect of relational marketing dimensions (trust, commitment, communication, shared value, empathy, mutual relations) on customer satisfaction will be investigated, in order to first determine whether the dimensions of relational marketing have an effect on customer satisfaction, and secondly, if so, which of the dimensions has the greatest effect on customer satisfaction.

    In this chapter, the problem statement, research questions, research objectives, theoretical framework, research hypotheses, conceptual definition and The operation of the research variables and finally the scope of the research will be mentioned. 1-2) Statement of the problem Today, the business world is based on "customer satisfaction" in such a way that expanding services and even providing them without considering this principle is not only difficult, but also impossible. (Aghadavoud, 2010, 234). They manage with their customers (Nguyin, 2011).[2] Satisfaction is an emotional-emotional state, and after each service experience, customers experience different levels of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, according to how much their expectations have been met or exceeded (Lovelock, 2011, 126)[3] Customer satisfaction has many benefits for any institution, and a higher level of customer satisfaction leads to greater customer loyalty. Very satisfied customers always spread favorable word-of-mouth advertising and it becomes a popular advertisement, which reduces the cost of acquiring new customers. (Lovelock, 1391, 128)

    Philip Kotler defines satisfaction as the pleasant or unpleasant personal feelings that come from comparing the product's performance on a scale with the consumer's expectations. For example, the result of a customer survey of a bank branch showed that the loyalty of completely satisfied customers was almost 42% higher than that of customers who were only satisfied. (Lovelock, 2011, 126).

    Research results show that "communication" has a positive effect on service improvement and "customer satisfaction" has a positive effect on customer loyalty and "service improvement" has a positive effect on customer satisfaction (Kamunda, 2012) and also "easy technology" has a positive effect on customer satisfaction (Gangoli, 2011) [5]. The results of Le Neguyen Hau's research in 2011 show that among the components of relational marketing, trust, commitment, shared value, and mutual relationships have a positive effect on customer satisfaction, while communication and empathy (the ability to understand customer behavior) do not. Interestingly, the role of trust and commitment in customer satisfaction is better than shared value and mutual relationships (Nguyin, 2011) [6]. Relationship marketing is a strategy to attract, maintain and improve relationships with customers so that the goals of both parties are met in this relationship (Dubisi, 2007) [7]. This is beneficial, because attracting new customers is much more expensive than maintaining existing customers, customers are less sensitive to the price and provide the possibility of free and free word of mouth advertising of the company's products (Aghadavoud, 2011, 195). The basic and fundamental advantage of the relational marketing approach claims to create stronger relationships with customers, which increases performance results that include sales growth, market share, profits, return on investment, and customer retention (Nguyin, 2011).

    According to the material raised and the importance of customer satisfaction and the role of relational marketing components, the question arises in the mind of the researcher: Does relational marketing affect the satisfaction of Bandar Anzali National Bank customers?

    1-3) Importance of the research topic

    As the competition field becomes more competitive, banks have realized the need to change their behavior with the customer and respect him. The customer has a lot of choice and does not easily establish a long-term relationship with any institution (Aghadavoud, 1391, 133). Relationship marketing emphasizes the importance of creating and maintaining a relationship between customers and buyers, compared to the transactional orientation of the classic marketing paradigm. (Eagle Sias, 2011) [8]. The concept of relationship marketing has attracted much research attention from marketing researchers during the last two decades
