The brands which are taken as samples includes Honda, Hero, Bajaj, Mahindra, Yamaha, Royal Enfield and others (TVS, Suzuki and VR). Kano Model analysis, frequency analysis, correlation, ANOVA test, independent sample t-test, etc. are used for data analysis. Kano model is taken as a basic model for the study.</p><p>Surprisingly, it is found that supporting after sales service has more impact on customer satisfaction than major after sales services have. Apparently, the most valued after sales service is behaviour of technicians which has the strongest and positive relation with customer satisfaction. Behaviour attributes play major role in customer satisfaction. Likewise, functional and dysfunctional questions are analyzed to carry out Kano Model Analysis. From the research, it is found that Spare part supply, Warranty, Bike wash and Service camp are the must be requirements. Likewise, Repair and Maintenance, Customer Care, Inspection and Mobile Van (office hours) are regarded as one dimensional services. And, Driving Orientation and 24 hours Mobile Van service are regarded as Attractive services. At present, 63% of customers are satisfied with the after sales service and 10% are very satisfied with the current after sales service. This study is significant to distributors of two wheelers and parent companies, as they can formulate after sales service strategies by understanding the present satisfaction level of customers and degree of each after sales service attributed to satisfy the customers.</p><p>Journal of Business and Social Sciences Research, Vol. 1, Issue 1, pp. 1-21</p>

Energy consumers in Nigeria have long complained about Distribution Companies' unfair billing practices, exorbitant monthly electricity bills resulting from meter estimation rather than accurate meter reading and calculation based on uninterrupted electricity use. The objectives of the study were to establish the relationship between the prepaid metering system and customer satisfaction; and to evaluate the level of satisfaction with respect to the usage of the prepaid metering system in Niger State, Nigeria. In carrying out the study, the structured questionnaire was administered to 393 randomly chosen respondents drawn from prepaid meter users, out of which 344 responded generating a response rate of 87.5%. The data derived were subjected to spearman correlation and multiple regression models. The major findings from the study showed a significant, moderate and positive relationship between the prepaid metering system and customer satisfaction. Additionally, three significant predictors, Affordability, Availability and Flexibility with p < .01 are statistically significant. Further findings from descriptive statistics revealed that users had the highest level of satisfaction with the privacy they had as a result of no meter readers and no accumulated.

Abstract This study investigates the link between the different service characteristics that have an influence on customer satisfaction in university cafeteria food services. A conceptual model comprising of different variables like food and beverage quality, service quality, food choice, price and value equality, and ambience were studied for customer satisfaction to explore the relationship among them. This study examined how dining experiences influence the satisfaction and loyalty of both non-mature (students) and mature (staff) customers, in order to find their similarities and differences within the context of university cafeteria services. The study was conducted at Taylor’s University in Malaysia by using a quantitative research approach, and 231 students and 63 staff members of the university participated in the study. The findings reveal that the various quality factors considered in the study are positively correlated with customer satisfaction and have a significant impact on the satisfaction level of both students and staff who dined at the university cafeteria. It could be concluded from the results that the influence of price offered at the university cafeteria had a significant effect on respondents’ loyalty.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the quality of banking services provided in support of small- and medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs) internationalization from the customers' perspective.Design/methodology/approachCustomer satisfaction of 50 Italian SMEs with the banking services provided for international activities has been evaluated by adopting the Kano model's continuous and discrete analyses.FindingsResults show which banking services provided for business internationalization are necessary to satisfy customers' expectations, which services customers like having and dislike not having and which services are unexpected by customers creating a high increase in satisfaction when provided.Research limitations/implicationsThis work shows the value of the Kano model in evaluating the non-linear relationship between customer satisfaction and quality of banking services for the international activities of companies. The main limitation of this work is the limited geographical context of the investigation.Practical implicationsThis research suggests banks to transform their role in the relationship with SMEs from mere financiers to active partners committed to their growth abroad by offering a wide range of services not just financial, but also counselling and care professional, thus achieving mutual benefits.Originality/valuePrevious works on banking services and business internationalization are focussed on the transaction costs, information asymmetries and the impact of online banking. This work advances available knowledge by analysing the customer's point of view, evaluating the satisfaction of SMEs which, although more dependent on banks for their expansion abroad than large listed companies, are mostly ignored by literature.
