The purpose of this study is to evaluate Web-based service quality. First related literature is reviewed and then a survey is conducted to measure Web-based service quality which is provided by a Turkish firm. Study results have indicated six Web-based service quality dimensions; information quality, responsiveness, Web assistance, tangibles, empathy, and call-back. Average values of information quality and responsiveness dimensions are highest indicating that these are valued highly by respondents in determining the software firm’s service quality. Also, average values of all dimensions being greater than 3, indicates that respondents evaluated service quality as good. Dimensions do not predict overall service quality, indicating that respondents independently evaluate each dimension and the overall service quality. Overall service quality and dimensions are found as distinct constructs and overall quality affected user satisfaction.

The study of e-consumer behavior is getting more attention in e-commerce related literature. Acknowledging the importance of e-commerce, this study aims to investigate the influence of e-service quality dimensions (efficiency, requirement fulfilment, accessibility, privacy and responsiveness) on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty as well as to understand the mediating effect of customer satisfaction on e-service quality and customer loyalty. The study employed survey strategy using a self-administered questionnaire with professionals working in different industries and business settings located in Sabah, Malaysia. Study results indicated that out of five e- service quality dimensions, efficiency, accessibility, privacy and responsiveness are positively affecting customer satisfaction but in contrast accessibility had insignificant impact on customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, efficiency, accessibility and responsiveness were found to have a positive and significant relationship with customer loyalty. The findings of hierarchical regression indicated that customer satisfaction partially mediated the effects of efficiency, privacy and responsiveness on customer loyalty. Based on these findings, the study implications and suggestions regarding future research are discussed.

The Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia is known as Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK). In carrying out its duties and functions, it empowers and relies on information technology (IT) infrastructure that covers all aspects, including planning, procurement, service provision, information asset security, service continuity, and evaluation. BPK implements a collaboration portal to meet service needs and teamwork during the audit process, ad-hoc committees, and leader instructions to follow BPK’s strategic plan. BPK needs to assess the effect of the collaboration portal in supporting employee performance and improving IT services. As a result, this study aims to investigate the factors that influence the effectiveness of the BPK collaboration portal. This study used Delone and McLean model of information system success by looking at the relationship of system quality, information quality, service quality, facilitating conditions, and collaboration quality to user satisfaction and individual job performance. The research method used a quantitative approach with partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The sample data was collected from 60 respondents at BPK. The data obtained from the respondents were processed using the SmartPLS application. The study results show that information quality, facilitating conditions, and collaboration quality positively and significantly affect user satisfaction. There is a positive and significant influence of user satisfaction on individual job performance. In addition, system quality and service quality do not significantly influence user satisfaction with collaboration portal services.

The present study explores the effect on student satisfaction and student loyalty of higher education service quality dimensions. Ensuring quality improvement and implementation of strategies for the tertiary education sector has become critical. Moreover, the study also tests the mediating impact of university reputation and external prestige between university service quality and satisfaction and loyalty. Data has collected through a structured questionnaire from a sample of 390 graduate and undergraduate students of two public universities in Bangladesh. The study reflects that the performance on service quality dimensions of selected public universities is not satisfactory. The study results have shown that Teaching, Support services, Library and lab facilities, and internationalization significantly influence student satisfaction except for Administrative service and Hostel facilities. Teaching, Administrative Services, Library and lab facilities, and internationalization significantly influence student Loyalty. The mediating analysis has shown that student satisfaction partially mediates between service quality and student loyalty. The study results have also indicated that university reputation and external prestige partially mediate between service quality and student satisfaction and loyalty. The previous studies which measure service quality of Bangladeshi higher educational institutions have applied the SERVQUAL model, which is not suitable for an educational institution. However, this study has applied a higher education service quality model uniquely developed to measure higher educational institutions' service quality.

The aim of this paper is to identify key dimensions of mobile wallet (m-wallet) service quality and to prioritize mobile wallet service providers on the basis of these dimensions. Based on extensive literature review and discussion with an expert, six key dimensions of m-wallet service quality, namely convenience, reliability and security, responsiveness, aesthetics, accessibility, and information quality/content, are proposed in this paper. Fuzzy TOPSIS approach is proposed to evaluate and rank mobile wallet alternatives. Four major mobile wallet players from the Indian market are prioritized on the basis of six key service quality dimensions. Examination of the literature indicates that this study is among the first attempts to identify m-wallet service quality dimensions as well as to prioritize mobile wallet alternatives using fuzzy TOPSIS. The findings will be valuable to academicians and practitioners alike. The key dimensions proposed in the paper will enlighten m-wallet service providers about the aspects of services to be focused on. Moreover, the fuzzy TOPSIS technique discussed in this paper will help m-wallet companies to compare them with their competitors. This will help managers to develop strategies to improve their services. On the academic front, the study will extend the knowledge base in the field of self-service technologies.

This study aims to determine the dimensions of mobile service quality and to examine their effect on customer satisfaction in UAE mobile phone service providers while also investigating the behavioural differences between mobile phone customers with prepaid and postpaid subscriptions. A combination of the SERVPERF model has been adopted as the main framework for analyzing service quality. A structured questionnaire instrument was designed for data collection. The present study concentrates on the level of customers’ satisfaction for leading service providers in the UAE mobile industry. Etisalat and Du were chosen for this study. A sample of (452) mobile phone users in Abu Dhabi city was selected at random using convenience-sampling. We found a positive effect of both functional and technical service quality (network quality) on customers’ satisfaction. Functional and technical dimensions were good predictors of customer satisfaction and confirmed the multidimensional nature of service quality. Also, the service quality dimensions; reliability, assurances, and responsiveness are found to be significant predictors of customer satisfaction. Behavioural difference between mobile phone customers is also significant in predicting customer satisfaction for postpaid subscribers. However, only reliability and network quality are significant predictors of customer satisfaction for prepaid subscribers. The model developed in this study provides marketers and researchers with a diagnostic tool to assess service quality from the perspectives of customers to meet the customer’s expectations and ensure customer satisfaction.
