The aim of this research is to examine the previously published research studies in the area of retention in
insurance. PRISMA framework has been used for synthesizing and selecting the data and the most relevant papers
have been extracted from Scopus database. This systematic literature review (SLR) explored perceived customer value
and service quality being the predictor for customer loyalty in the insurance industry and also other financial services
and customer satisfaction mediating between the two. There have been other factors too which affect customer
satisfaction and retention as firm image, WOM, CSR, trust and ethical sale behavior. The report emphasizes on the
importance of customer value and service quality constructs in the previous studies. The study is focused on the most
cited last two decades’ research articles and explored various factors and various approaches by the authors. The
current study is based on descriptive analysis from the secondary data source. This study would enrich the existing
research data on retention in insurance and foster new avenues for future research possibilities. The report starts with
the insights from the industrial reports and showing the need for academic research in this area.
