The aim of this study is to identify the level of gap extended between management perceptions of clients’ expectations, and clients’ expectations for service quality dimensions in the Jordanian commercial banks. The study also investigates the impact of combined service quality dimensions (tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and online services) on management’s and clients’ expectations. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a quantitative study was conducted and a convenience sampling was taken by distributing questionnaires to commercial bank managements and clients during the period of 2018–2019. In total, the researchers had: 362 clients and 168 managers. The study findings were analyzed by using the statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS Statistics V22.0). After testing the hypotheses using various techniques, it was found that there is a difference between management perceptions of clients’ expectations and clients’ expectations of service quality dimensions (tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and online services). Also, it found that combined service quality dimensions as independent variables have a significant impact on management perceptions of clients’ expectations and clients’ expectations of service quality dimensions as dependent variables.

Purpose In the present competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, service quality has become one of the most important facets of interest to academic researchers. The purpose of this paper is to determine the dimensions of perceived service quality and investigate their impact on customer satisfaction in the Indian banking context, with special reference to selected public sector banks in India. Design/methodology/approach On the basis of the empirical study, the authors validate a measurement model using structural equation modeling for investigating the impact of perceived service quality dimensions on customer satisfaction. The study sample consists of 480 respondents in the National Capital Region (NCR) of India; the data were collected through a structured questionnaire utilizing a seven-point Likert scale while implementing a purposive sampling technique. Findings The perceived service quality dimensions identified were tangibility, reliability, assurance, responsiveness, empathy, and image. The empirical findings revealed that “responsiveness” was found to be the most significant predictor of customer satisfaction. On the other hand, “image” (corporate image) has a positive but the least significant relationship with customer satisfaction followed by all other constructs. The exception is “reliability,” which is insignificantly related to customer satisfaction in Indian public sector banks. Research limitations/implications The study cannot be generalized in the context of Indian banking sectors, as it only focused on the public sector. The findings of this study suggest that the six dimensions of perceived service quality model are a suitable instrument for evaluating bank service quality for public banks in India. Therefore, bank managers can use this model to assess the bank service quality in the context of Indian public sector banks. Originality/value There is dearth of research focusing on corporate image as a dimension of perceived service quality and its effect on customer satisfaction in the Indian banking context. Furthermore, similar studies were rarely found in the Indian context, especially within the public banking sector. Hence, this paper attempts to accomplish the research gap by empirically testing the satisfaction level of a large sample of the population in NCR toward six dimensions of perceived service quality rendered by selected public sector banks in India.

This study addresses a research gap in mobile banking (M-banking) related to post service usage consumer behavior and aims to discover the impact of electronic core (e-core) service quality dimensions on the perceived value of service in relation to three socio-economic variables i.e. gender, age and income. The study attempts to identify whether the impact of these dimensions vary as per the difference in socio-economic demographics? Further, E-S-QUAL scale representing dimensions of e-core service quality is utilized and data collection is conducted from a survey of 600 mobile banking users of the Punjab State in India. The collected data is then put to test using Multiple Regression Analysis and Cronbach's alpha. Findings of the study reveal that different customers perceive these dimensions differently depending upon their demographics. This study has important implications for academic research related to e-service quality or to any one doing research in the field of M-banking.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the multidimensional concept of mobile banking service quality (security/privacy, practicity, design/aesthetics, enjoyment and sociality) and the impact of the latter on the quality of the relationship (commitment, trust and satisfaction) between consumers and their primary financial institution. Design/methodology/approach An online survey was conducted using a sample of 375 respondents, all owners of a mobile device and all accustomed to conducting banking activities on mobile platforms. Results were analyzed using structural modeling techniques (EQS 6.1). Findings Findings confirm that trust significantly and positively impacts commitment/satisfaction. Mobile banking service quality dimensions also influence trust and commitment/satisfaction. Trust is associated with security/privacy and practicity (regarded as utilitarian factors), while commitment/satisfaction is driven by enjoyment and sociality (dimensions more hedonic by nature). No link is found between interface design and either trust or commitment/satisfaction. Originality/value This study contributes to bank marketing theory since it is the first to demonstrate how key mobile banking service quality dimensions drive customer perceptions of relationship quality. In doing so, this research extends beyond mobile adoption (short term) by addressing customer engagement with financial institutions and issues relating to relationship quality (long term). Regarding managerial implications, findings signal to marketers in the financial services industry the importance of not underestimating the power of hedonic factors (sociality and enjoyment) when developing mobile platforms. These dimensions are often overlooked in the banking industry, a sector in which consumers are believed to be mostly driven by utilitarian motives.

The objective of this paper is to examine the service quality dimensions and passenger characteristics and its effect on passenger’s satisfaction on railway station. Jember Railway Station is a survey location where the questionnaires were spread. A total of 400 respondents who departure from Jember Railway Station were selected via convenience sampling method. The effects of characteristics and service quality items on the overall satisfaction were estimated using probabilistic approach. The thirteen service items extracted from Guidelines for Standardization of Railway Stations provide a representative framework of how passengers evaluate railway station service quality. This study illustrates how the probabilistic approach may be used for the direction of the effects of service quality and passengers’ characteristics on the probability that a passenger presents higher level of overall satisfaction. Direction for future research is presented.

The technology based self service banking (TBSSB) refers to banking services availed by customers using electronic banking channels, without any interaction with bank employees. This paper examined the impact of TBSSB service quality dimensions on customer loyalty. A survey was conducted to collect data from customers of different banks, using a questionnaire. The sample size of 414 was divided into two sub-samples of equal size. The dimensions (factors) were identified by conducting an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on first sub-sample using SPSS 16.0 software. Factor structure was confirmed by conducting confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using AMOS 20.0 software on the second sub-sample. The proposed TBSSB SQ-Customer Loyalty conceptual model was tested for uni-dimensionality, reliability, and validity. Four proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling (SEM) with the help of AMOS 20.0. Out of four TBSSB service quality dimensions, Personalization is the only dimension that is found to have positive significant effect on customer loyalty. This study will guide banks about the critical technology based banking factors that need to be focused upon for increasing customer loyalty.
