Methods and Results In this paper it formulated a conceptual model founded on a structural equations system in order to estimate the influence and the weight of the different drivers on the customer satisfaction. Using Partial Least Squares analysis, an empirical study was conducted to investigate the relationship between some factors of the insurance company and the customers satisfaction overall. Partial Least Squares is chosen as the method of analysis since it can be used with data that come from non-normal distributions and less than interval level data.
