scholarly journals Customer Service Quality Practice in District Co-Operative Bank - with Reference to Thiruvananthapuram District Cooperative Bank

As the entry of sophisticated technology has paved way for greater developments in every field including the banking sector, the banking sector too is characterized by rapid change and increasingly sophisticated customers. It has become very important that banks in India determine the service quality factors, which are pertinent to the customer’s selection process. With the advent of international banking, the trend towards larger bank holding companies, and innovations in the marketplace, the customers have greater and greater difficulty in selecting one institution from another (Choudhury, K. (2018)). Therefore the current problem for the banking industry in India is to determine the dimensionality of customer- perceived service quality. If service quality dimensions are identified, the service managers should be able to improve the delivery of customer perceived quality during the service process and have greater control over the overall outcome. A better understanding of the effects of service quality and customer satisfaction on service loyalty can help academics in the development of a model of service marketing. It can also provide practitioners with indications as to where best to devote marketing attention and scarce corporate resources.

The Indian banking industry is going through turbulent times. In this era of mature and intense competitive pressures, it is imperative that banks maintain a loyal customer base. To achieve this objective and improve their market and profit positions, many retail banks are directing their strategies toward increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty through improved service quality. In the present context, characterised by rapid change and sophisticated customers, it is important that banks in India determine service quality factors, which are pertinent to the customers’ selection process, as well as the dimensionality of customer-perceived service quality. If service quality dimensions are identified, service managers can improve the delivery of customer perceived quality during the service process and have greater control over the outcome. The author suggests that customers distinguish four dimensions of service quality in the retail banking industry in India. These dimensions of customer-perceived service quality are customer-orientedness, competence, tangibles, and convenience. The results of this study offer strong support for the intuitive notion that improving service quality increases favourable behavioural intentions, namely WOM (Word-of-Mouth) communications.

The principal objective of this research paper is to Prioritise Customer Perceived Service Quality (CPSQ) in the proportion of service quality for Indian cooperative banking sector. In order to understand the cooperative banking customer’s perspective and their relative significance, thirty three service quality dimensions are considered and deeply analysed. In addition, Questionnaire of Customer Perceives Service Quality (CPSQ) is also collected and implemented. Here, the necessary data is collected in the months of November 2019 and January 2020 respectively by using convenience sampling method. The data is collected from the state of Utter Pradesh, India. The reason behind choosing Utter Pradesh is, it agriculturally strong and has higher population (around 20 Crores) in India. Here, to prioritise the CPSQ scale, we have used Relative to an Identified Distribution (RIDIT) & Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) and later we also compared the results to check the reliability of these ranking methods. To perform this prioritization we have used seven factors such as Efficiency (EFF); Infrastructure (INF); Effectivenes (EFT); Timely Services (TMS); Bank Image (BIG); Safety & Security (SS) and Up to date technology (UDT). Later, GRA and RIDIT analysis are also conducted to distinguish the prioritization of service quality items. The present study and analysis helps to validate the cooperative banks service quality in general by ranking the service quality dimensions, which are specifically important in Indian banking sector to improve and enhance its quality. Finally, the obtained results shows that, it is apparent that managers of cooperative banks in Indian scenario must focus more on cooperative bank quality dimensions to improve the reliability of their customer’s perception of cooperative banking in terms of better performance and service quality.

Earlier research has shown that, in today’s highly competitive business world, service quality and satisfaction are central to management concerns for marketing effectiveness and success. This study attempts to determine customer-perceived service quality at rural Indian banks and identify the most significant predictors of overall customer satisfaction based on a five-dimensional ‘performance-only’ scale measuring service quality. Data was collected from 289 patrons of rural banks, based on a seven-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (”strongly disagree”) to 7 (“strongly agree”). The absence of a reliable sampling frame necessitated following a controlled sampling technique. In order to extract factors relevant to service quality, we employ exploratory factor analysis, means, standard deviations, t-tests, and regression analysis. Our preliminary analysis indicates that rural customers report high levels of perceived service quality across all five dimensions while the results of the regression analysis (β) show that reliability and assurance explain overall customer satisfaction at rural banks in India. The study’s findings can be employed by the banking industry to restructure and prioritize its service quality and develop appropriate promotional strategies by highlighting relevant aspects of service quality and customer satisfaction.

This study examines the role of customers‟ emotional reactions in the context of customer service experiences. It investigates how retail banking customers‟ emotional responses to retail banking services to affect their overall banking experience. In the context of retail banking, excellent customer service experiences could be interpreted as just meeting the expectations of the retail banking customers, not any sort of exceeding of failing short of the expectations. Most of the banks try to achieve competitive advantage by taking the responses of the retail banking customers beyond the level of „just service satisfied‟ towards „exceeding their service expectations‟. Therefore, this study attempts to fill this gap by examining the relationship between customers‟ emotional reactions and excellent customer service experiences in banking sector. Structured questionnaires were distributed to 320 retail banking customers using purposive sampling technique in the area of Klang Valley.

The results suggest that emotional reactions, bank service quality value and personal contact value had a moderate relationship with excellent customer service experiences. This study identifies the types of efforts that can be implementing in helping banking sector caused by retail banking customers‟ emotional responses.
