Technology infusion in service encounters 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
Mary Jo Bitner Stephen W. Brown Matthew L. Meuter 《Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science》2000,28(1):138-149
Service encounters are critical in all industries, including those that have not been traditionally defined as service industries.
The increasing deployment of technology is altering the essence of service encounters formerly anchored in a “low-tech, high-touch”
paradigm. This article explores the changing nature of service, with an emphasis on how encounters can be improved through
the effective use of technology. The authors examine the ability of technology to effectively (1) customize service offerings,
(2) recover from service failure, and (3) spontaneously delight customers. The infusion of technology is examined as an enabler
of both employees and customers in efforts to achieve these three goals. Although the infusion of technology can lead to negative
outcomes and may not be embraced by all customers, the focus of this article is on the benefits of thoughtfully managed and
effectively implemented technology applications. Past research and industry examples are featured and future research directions
and managerial implications are highlighted.

Role stressors and customer-oriented boundary-spanning behaviors in service organizations 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Lance A. Bettencourt Stephen W. Brown 《Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science》2003,31(4):394-408
The authors investigate three types of customer-oriented boundary-spanning behaviors (COBSBs) a frontline service employee
may perform that are associated with linking a service organization to its potential or actual customers: external representation,
internal influence, and service delivery. The authors propose and test a withdrawal model to explain the negative effects
of role conflict and role ambiguity on COBSBs across a sample of 220 lower-level, nonprofessional service providers of a major
retail bank and a sample of 90 higher-level, professional service providers from the business credit division of an international
financial services corporation. The results demonstrate that (1) indirect paths through job satisfaction and organizational
commitment entirely account for the negative effects of the role stressors on COBSBs, (2) the indirect negative effects of
the role stressors are stronger on external representation and internal influence behaviors, and (3) role conflict also has
a significant positive direct relationship with internal influence behaviors.

Antecedents to customer expectations for service recovery 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
Selected antecedents of customers’ service recovery expectations are considered in this study. A conceptual model is proposed
in which customer perceptions of service quality, customer satisfaction, and customer organizational commitment function as
antecedents to service recovery expectations. The proposed model was tested with covariance structure analysis. The results
support the hypothesized relationships, suggesting that service quality and customer organizational commitment have direct
effects on customer service recovery expectations and that customer satisfaction has an indirect effect on service recovery
expectations.

The increasing implementation of self-managing teams (SMTs) in service delivery suggests the importance of developing confidence
beliefs about a team’s collective competence. This research examined causality in the linkage between employee confidence
beliefs and performance for boundary-spanning SMTs delivering financial services. The authors distinguish between task-specific
(i.e., team efficacy) and generalized (i.e., group potency) employee confidence, as well as between customer-based (i.e.,
customer-perceived service quality) and financial (i.e., service revenues) performance. They analyzed employee and customer
survey data as well as financial performance data from 51 SMTs at two points in time using lagged analyses. The findings reveal
divergent results for team efficacy and group potency, suggesting that team efficacy has reciprocal, causal relationships
with service revenues and customer-perceived service quality. In contrast, group potency has no causal relationship with service
revenues. Finally, customer-perceived service quality predicts group potency, whereas no evidence for the reverse effect is
provided.

Determinants of online channel use and overall satisfaction with a relational,multichannel service provider 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Mitzi M. Montoya-Weiss Glenn B. Voss Dhruv Grewal 《Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science》2003,31(4):448-458
This study examines what drives customers' use of an online channel in a relational, multichannel environment. The authors
propose a conceptual model of the determinants of online channel use and overall satisfaction with the service provider. They
then conduct two large-scale studies in different service contexts to test the model. The results show that Web site design
characteristics affect customer evaluations of online channel service quality and risk, which in turn drive online channel
use. Customers' overall satisfaction with the service provider is determined by the service quality provided through both
the online channel and the traditional channel. The results offer insights into the trade-offs that multichannel service providers
face as they attempt to influence online channel use while maintaining or enhancing overall customer satisfaction.

Although research into the determinants of service provider switching has grown in recent years, the focus has been predominantly
on transactional, not relational, variables. In this research, the authors address the role of consumer commitment on consumers’
intentions to switch. Drawing from the organizational behavior literature, they build on previous service switching research
by developing a switching model that includes a three-component conceptualization of customer commitment. Structural equation
modeling is used to test the model based on data from a survey of 356 auto repair service customers. The authors’ results
support the notion that customer commitment affects intentions to switch service providers and that the psychological states
underlying that commitment may differ. As such, future marketing research should consider these different forms of commitment
in understanding customer retention. The implications of this model for theory and practice are discussed.

Customer value,satisfaction, loyalty,and switching costs: An illustration from a business-to-business service context 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Shun Yin Lam Venkatesh Shankar M. Krishna Erramilli Bvsan Murthy 《Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science》2004,32(3):293-311
Although researchers and managers pay increasing attention to customer value, satisfaction, loyalty, and switching costs,
not much is known about their interrelationships. Prior research has examined the relationships within subsets of these constructs,
mainly in the business-to-consumer (B2C) environment. The authors extend prior research by developing a conceptual framework
linking all of these constructs in a business-to-business (B2B) service setting. On the basis of the cognition-affect-behavior
model, the authors hypothesize that customer satisfaction mediates the relationship between customer value and customer loyalty,
and that customer satisfaction and loyalty have significant reciprocal effects on each other. Furthermore, the potential interaction
effect of satisfaction and switching costs, and the quadratic effect of satisfaction, on loyalty are explored. The authors
test the hypotheses on data obtained from a courier service provider in a B2B context. The results support most of the hypotheses
and, in particular, confirm the mediating role of customer satisfaction.

This research examines the benefits customers receive as a result of engaging in long-term relational exchanges with service
firms. Findings from two studies indicate that consumer relational benefits can be categorized into three distinct benefit
types: confidence, social, and special treatment benefits. Confidence benefits are received more and rated as more important
than the other relational benefits by consumers, followed by social and special treatment benefits, respectively. Responses
segmented by type of service business show a consistent pattern with respect to customer rankings of benefit importance. Management
implications for relational strategies and future research implications of the findings are discussed.

Customer relationship dynamics: Service quality and customer loyalty in the context of varying levels of customer expertise and switching costs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

As customer-organization relationships deepen, consumers increase their expertise in the firm’s product line and industry
and develop increased switching costs. This study investigates the effects of customer investment expertise and perceived
switching costs on the relationships between technical and functional service quality and customer loyalty. Technical service
quality is hypothesized to be a more important determinant of customer loyalty than functional service quality as expertise
increases. Both technical and functional service quality are hypothesized to have a reduced relationship with customer loyalty
as perceived switching costs increase. Three-way interactions between the main effects of service quality, customer expertise,
and perceived switching costs yield additional insight into the change in relative importance of technical and functional
service quality in customers’ decision to be loyal. Six of eight hypotheses receive support. Implications are discussed for
customer relationship management over the relationship life cycle.

Implications of loyalty program membership and service experiences for customer retention and value 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
Ruth N. Bolton P. K. Kannan Matthew D. Bramlett 《Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science》2000,28(1):95-108
Companies that offer loyalty reward programs believe that their programs have a long-run positive effect on customer evaluations
and behavior. However, if loyalty rewards programs increase relationship durations and usage levels, customers will be increasingly
exposed to the complete spectrum of service experiences, including experiences that may cause customers to switch to another
service provider. Using cross-sectional, time-series data from a worldwide financial services company that offers a loyalty
reward program, this article investigates the conditions under which a loyalty rewards program will have a positive effect
on customer evaluations, behavior, and repeat purchase intentions. The results show that members in the loyalty reward program
overlook or discount negative evaluations of the company vis-à-vis competion. One possible reason could be that members of
the loyalty rewards program perceive that they are getting better quality and service for their price or, in other words,
“good value.”

Re-examining salesperson goal orientations: Personality influencers, customer orientation, and work satisfaction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Eric G. Harris John C. Mowen Tom J. Brown 《Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science》2005,33(1):19-35
Several scholars have noted the importance of relationship marketing and the critical role that salesperson knowledge plays
in the formation of buyer-seller relationships. However, research on salesperson learning motivations has been relatively
scarce compared with research on firm-level learning orientations. One promising stream of research in this area is salesperson
goal orientation. Drawing from previous work in control theory, the authors extend previous research in this area by proposing
relationships between personality influencers, goal orientations, customer/selling orientation, and overall work satisfaction.
Their hypotheses are tested using data obtained from a sample of 190 real estate agents. The results provide support for their
hypothesized model. Specifically, learning orientation is shown to positively influence customer orientation, while performance
orientation is shown to positively influence selling orientation.

Modeling the determinants of customer satisfaction for business-to-business professional services 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Paul G. Patterson Lester W. Johnson Richard A. Spreng 《Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science》1997,25(1):4-17
This research empirically examines for the first time the determinants of customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction (CS/D)
in the context of business professional services. The simultaneous effect of key CS/D constructs (expectations, performance,
and disconfirmation) and several variables—fairness (equity), purchase situation (novelty, importance, and complexity)—and
individual-level variables (decision uncertainty and stakeholding) are examined in a causal path framework. Data were obtained
from a two-stage longitudinal survey of client organizations. The results indicated substantial support for the hypothesized
model. The effect of purchase situation and individual-level variables (via their indirect affects) rivals that of disconfirmation
and expectations in explaining CS/D. Performance was found to affect CS/D directly but not as powerfully as disconfirmation.

In a series of three studies, a four-level hierarchical model of personality was employed to identify the antecedents and
three validating criteria of a newly developed trait labeledjob resourcefulness (JR). JR is defined as an enduring disposition to garner scarce resources and overcome obstacles in pursuit of job-related
goals. Across three service contexts, JR was shown to predict customer orientation, self-rated performance, and supervisor-rated
performance. The results also revealed that the hierarchical model accounted for more variance in performance ratings than
one version of the 5-Factor Model of personality. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for selecting high-performing
service employees.

Current measures of service quality do not adequately capture customers’ perceptions of service quality for retail stores
(i.e., stores that offer a mix of goods and services). A hierarchical factor structure is proposed to capture dimensions important
to retail customers based on the retail and service quality literatures as well as three separate qualitative studies. Confirmatory
factor analysis based on the partial disaggregation technique and cross-validation using a second sample support the validity
of the scale as a measure of retail service quality. The implications of this Retail Service Quality Scale for practitioners,
as well as for future research, are discussed.

The influence of store environment on quality inferences and store image 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
Julie Baker Dhruv Grewal A. Parasuraman 《Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science》1994,22(4):328-339
The study reported here examines how combinations of specific elements in the retail store environment influence consumers’
inferences about merchandise and service quality and discusses the extent to which these inferences mediate the influence
of the store environment on store image. Results show that ambient and social elements in the store environment provide cues
that consumers use for their quality inferences. In addition, store environment, merchandise quality, and service quality
were posited to be antecedents of store image—with the latter two serving as mediators—rather than components of store image
(as they are typically treated in the store image literature). Theoretical and managerial implications of the findings are
discussed, and future research directions are proposed.

Alternative indexes for monitoring customer perceptions of service quality: A comparative evaluation in a retail context 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Customer satisfaction and service quality measures obtained through consumer surveys invariably have skewed distributions.
As such, researchers have questioned the appropriateness of the popular approach of using the mean rating to summarize such
data. However, no detailed study on this topic has yet been conducted. In two independent studies, the relative validity of
the various indexes that can be used to summarize consumer’s service quality ratings (e.g., mean, median, mode, kurtosis,
skewness, top/bottom-tail percentiles) are examined. In Study 1, using typical commercial survey data from a fast-food/convenience
retail chain, both the mean and top-box percentiles are found to be the best indicators of service quality, based on their
correlation with customer-driven business performance measures. In Study 2, the results are further confirmed by an extensive
simulation that varies factors such as the shape of the underlying distribution of customer ratings and the strength of the
relationship between customer ratings and business performance measures. The article concludes with a discussion of the findings
and implications for future research.

An examination of selected marketing mix elements and brand equity 总被引:46,自引:0,他引:46
Boonghee Yoo Naveen Donthu Sungho Lee 《Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science》2000,28(2):195-211
This study explores the relationships between selected marketing mix elements and the creation of brand equity. The authors
propose a conceptual framework in which marketing elements are related to the dimensions of brand equity, that is, perceived
quality, brand loyalty, and brand associations combined with brand awareness. These dimensions are then related to brand equity.
The empirical tests using a structural equation model support the research hypotheses. The results show that frequent price
promotions, such as price deals, are related to low brand equity, whereas high advertising spending, high price, good store
image, and high distribution intensity are related to high brand equity.

Customer mind-set of employees throughout the organization 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Karen Norman Kennedy Felicia G. Lassk Jerry R. Goolsby 《Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science》2002,30(2):159-171
Previous research has provided strong evidence for the benefits of embracing a market orientation, an organizational focus
highlighting the needs of customers, and the creation of customer value. This study extends this focus on the customer to
the individual worker level. A construct, customer mind-set (CMS), is developed that reflects the extent to which an individual
employee believes that understanding and satisfying customers, whether internal or external to the organization, is central
to the proper execution of his or her job. In this exploratory study, the authors develop a parsimonious scale for measuring
CMS. Relationships between CMS and significant organizational variables are examined to establish CMS's validity and provide
some tentative insights into its value to researchers and practitioners. The authors believe the CMS construct will allow
for operational-level analysis of the extent to which a customer orientation is embraced throughout an organization, permitting
managers to implement targeted improvement strategies.

Intelligence generation and superior customer value 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
It has become conventional wisdom that an organization's ability to continuously generate intelligence about customers' expressed
and latent needs, and about how to satisfy those needs, is essential for it to continuously create superior customer value.
However, intelligence generation typically has been treated as a generic firm activity. The authors propose that there are
four distinct modes of intelligence generation, each of which is part of a welldeveloped intelligence-generation capability.
The article reports the results of an exploratory study that supports this proposition.
