The effects of customer age and recovery strategies in a service failure setting
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The aim of this article is to explore the relationship between the type of service failure, age and the customer ’ s negative emotions after a service failure; as well as the relationship between these emotions, the recovery strategies executed and service recovery satisfaction. The proposed model is tested on a sample of fi nancial services customers who suffered some type of failure. The results indicate that the customer ’ s age has a negative impact on the intensity of the negative emotions experienced after a service failure. In addition, the type of service failure (process or outcome) interacts with the age variable on its effect on these negative emotions. Finally, results also show that recovery strategies offset the negative effect of negative emotions on customer satisfaction and that a compensation strategy is more effi cient if offered quickly.
