Owing to burgeoning scope of pharmacy business in Thailand many local and multinational companies have entered the market. These new entrants have caused a turmoil in the dynamics of market. Unhealthy competition is no free reign and new entry has almost been blocked. As a result, it has become very difficult to retain the customers. This study is performed to observe the factors which best enhance the customer devotion and loyalty. The impact of perceived service quality of pharmacy structure, medication price strategies and perception about pharmacists on customer devotion with the mediating role of pharmacy engagement has been studied in the following research. Random sampling technique was used to gather the required data. Data was analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) by using PLS software. Additionally, structure equation modeling technique (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. The results of the study revealed that there is a positive correlation between perceived service quality of pharmacy structure, pharmacy customer devotion perception and pharmacy engagement. Moreover, pharmacy engagement also strengthens the linkage of pharmacy customer devotion. Meanwhile, pharmacy engagement also mediates the relationship between perceived service quality of pharmacy structure, customer perception about pharmacist and pharmacy customer devotion.
