Unit-level linkages between employee commitment to the organization, customer service delivery and customer satisfaction
  • Dec 17, 2014

  • Neil Conway + 1 more

Service profit chain and service climate research identifies the importance of employee attitudes and employee service behavior as mediating between organizational practices and customer satisfaction. While the importance of employee attitudes and customer service performance are acknowledged, there are calls to more precisely specify proximal mediators between employee attitudes and customer satisfaction. We propose a model in which the relationship between unit-level organizational commitment and customer attitudes is not direct but mediated via employees' customer service delivery including queuing time, serving time and service quality. We conducted a longitudinal unit-level analysis (N = 39) aggregating employee (N over 893) organizational commitment and customer (N over 1248) satisfaction data, and customer service behavior drawn from organizational records. Our model received reasonable support from basic tests of the predictive associations between unit-level organizational commitment, customer-relevant employee behaviors and customer satisfaction; however, organizational commitment was not found to be an important predictor in more rigorous change analyses. The findings as a whole therefore suggest that organizational commitment is a feature of units delivering fast, quality service, but its causal role is as yet unclear.

  • Aldino Salam + 2 more

Customer satisfaction is a critical factor in ensuring business sustainability, particularly in service industries that rely on customer interaction. In the context of complaint handling, the effectiveness of consumer complaint services plays a key role in shaping customer experience, which in turn influences satisfaction levels. PT Jasa Raharja, as a state-owned social insurance company, faces challenges in improving the quality of its complaint services, with a significant increase in the number of complaints each year. However, surveys reveal persistent issues such as slow response times, lack of concrete solutions, and limited accessibility—factors that negatively impact both customer experience and satisfaction. This study aims to identify complaint service indicators that influence customer experience and satisfaction, and to explore the mediating role of customer experience in this relationship. A quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and mediation analysis was employed. The findings indicate that complaint services significantly affect both customer experience and satisfaction. Furthermore, customer experience significantly mediates the relationship between complaint services and customer satisfaction. These results highlight the importance of enhancing complaint service quality to foster positive customer experiences and improve overall satisfaction.

  • Hala Najwan + 7 more

This study investigates customer satisfaction, trust, and loyalty within Malaysia's ice cream and milk tea industry, focusing on Mixue Ice Cream & Tea. While previous research has predominantly examined how factors such as taste, perceived price, and service quality impact customer satisfaction, this study aims to bridge the gap by exploring the transition from customer loyalty to brand loyalty and its subsequent effect on brand competitiveness. Utilizing a quantitative approach, online surveys were administered to milk tea consumers across Malaysia. The analysis reveals that customer satisfaction and customer loyalty have a positive association, supporting Hypothesis H1, while customer trust significantly influences customer loyalty, confirming Hypothesis H2. However, the analysis rejects Hypotheses H4 and H5, indicating no substantial positive association between customer satisfaction and trust with brand loyalty. Notably, customer loyalty shows a strong positive relationship with brand loyalty, thus supporting Hypothesis H3. These findings contribute to the existing literature by detailing how customer satisfaction and trust evolve into strong brand loyalty and provide strategic recommendations to enhance Mixue Ice Cream & Tea's competitiveness in the F&B sector

  • Latoya Gibbs + 2 more

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, 2017), over one billion tourists traveled the globe in 2016. In spite of this increase of travelers, airlines are faced with declining levels of customer service and quality of customer experience (American Customer Satisfaction Index [ACSI], 2012). Frontline service employees, like flight attendants, create a critical impression of the service which affects customer perceptions and satisfaction. Nevertheless, many unknowns exist about what creates such impression and how it can be improved. In particular, no study has investigated the effects of Competency-Based Training (CBT) on flight attendants' performance and consequently passengers' satisfaction. The goal of this research was to examine the effect of CBT on flight attendants' performance and consequently passengers' satisfaction. A group of 109 flight attendants was trained in four competences: managing stress, dealing with conflict situations, displaying human relations skills, and delivering quality customer service. Pre-and post-training measures of flight attendants' performance and customer satisfaction were taken. Random sampling was employed to administer questionnaires to passengers traveling between the Caribbean and North America. Bivariate analysis revealed that there was a positive association between flight attendant performance and customer satisfaction. However, flight attendant performance was not positively associated with CBT. Further analysis revealed that customer satisfaction is associated with CBT. Consequently, theoretical and practical implications were developed.

The results depicted that (1) Service quality have a positive association with service value (β=0.57, t value = 12.357, p<0.001). and customer satisfaction (β=0.61, t value = 11.909, p<0.001). (2) Perceived sacrifice is positively to service value (β=0.38, t value = 8.097, p<0.001). (3) Service value is positively related to behavioral intentions (β=0.44, t value = 4.858, p<0.001). (4) Customer satisfaction is positively related to behavioral intentions (β=0.27, t value = 3.044, p<0.01). (5) Service quality is weakly supported to behavioral intentions. (6) All 6 indirect paths are all positive association with behavioral intentions. (7) Service quality, service value, perceived sacrifice, customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions differ from the education. (8) Service quality is different in area and behavioral intentions are different in age stratification. (9) Service quality, service value, perceived sacrifice and behavioral intentions are no different from gender, occupation and income. The result indicates the service quality become more important and more complex. Therefore, the automobile maker and dealer not only focus on the core-technique, but also have to improve the service quality to enlarge the market share.
