The objective of this study is to demonstrate the relationships among the severity of service failure, service recovery, customer satisfaction and loyalty towards the Vietnamese international hospital system. The research data were collected from 303 customers who have used services and experienced service failures at international hospitals. Applying Structural Equation Modeling, the study pointed out that service failure includes three dimensions, which are system failure, request failure, and behavior failure. Meanwhile, service recovery is made up of three dimensions which are distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice. The severity of service failure positively affects service recovery and service recovery puts a powerful impact on customer satisfaction, thereby increasing their trust in international hospitals in Vietnam.

Perceived Justice

PurposeThe study sought to assess the nexus between components of perceived justice and satisfaction, trust and loyalty with service recovery.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data were gathered from a sample of 300 clients from 8 midscale hotels in Ghana. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships.FindingsPerceived distributive justice has no effect on customer satisfaction with service recovery. Interactional justice had the greatest effect on customer satisfaction with service recovery. No significant relationship was found between procedural justice and trust. Also, trust had a significant effect on loyalty post-service recovery.Research limitations/implicationsEmpirical data were taken from one service industry; thus, it is reflective of only that service industry, generalizations should be mindful of our context bounded results.Practical implicationsThe study offers suggestions for managers to leverage the dimensions of perceived justice in order to build trust and loyalty post-service failure. Hotels should treat customers with fairness and respect at every point of contact during the service recovery process. Reward based compensation should be offered to customers to build trust.Originality/valueThe study is among a few to assess service recovery and its link with loyalty from a developing economy context. The study revealed that perceptions of justice with service recovery influences customer loyalty and satisfaction post-service recovery and extend the understanding of service recovery in the Ghanaian hotel sector.

With advanced technology, service providers have used multiple channels to get customer feedback. Online complaints are considered a useful solution for many service providers. If the online complaints are appropriately resolved, this not only helps recover customer satisfaction but also enhances the service image in customers' minds. This study applies structural equation modeling (SEM) to determine the affecting factors on online complaint intention and service recovery expectation in e-banking services. Research data are collected by random sampling with a sample size of 206 customers who have ever experienced e-banking service failures. The study demonstrated that customers' intention to complain online is influenced by attitude towards online complaints, complaint experience, and service failure severity.

Purpose This study aims to identify the factors of service recovery strategy that affect customer satisfaction. In addition, this study aims to explore the relationship between consumer satisfaction with service recovery and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) in the online context. Design/methodology/approach A self-administered questionnaire is designed and administered through an online survey. This study evaluates the proposed framework through structural equation modeling with online survey data from 425 samples in the context of online buying. Findings The results show that explanation, effort, response speed, problem-solving and apology are the components predicting service recovery strategy. These factors have impacts on customer satisfaction with service recovery and also generate e-WOM about service recovery experiences. This study significantly contributes to not only practical insights but also the expansion of expectation confirmation theory and social exchange theory regarding online service failures. Research limitations/implications Samples from non-internet shoppers are not collected because this study focuses on consumers referring to purchase online. Testing this conceptual model for other populations, such as non-online consumers, including the moderating effect of gender, age and education on the relationships proposed in the model may be an interesting extension. Moreover, this study does not distinguish different types of online retailers. Practical implications This study highlights the significant effect of customer satisfaction with service recovery on e-WOM. That is, managers should focus on not only making customers satisfied with their initial purchase but also enhancing customer satisfaction with service recovery in case the service failure occurs to encourage positive interaction among customers. This case will also improve the organizational image of a firm. Originality/value This study contributes to the identification of service recovery actions that focus on the roles of employees in dealing with service failures and their impacts on customer satisfaction in the online shopping context. In addition, the findings provide a greater understanding of the importance of customer satisfaction on e-WOM.

The Impact

With the rapid growth of the services industry in Pakistan which is more than fifty percent of GDP, organizations focus more on their service recovery strategies to keep high the level of customer satisfaction. The basic theme of this research is to judge the customer satisfaction with respect to the elements of Justice Theory (Distributional, Interactional and Procedural Justice) and Service Recovery Strategies, SRS (Apology, Compensation, and Speed). For this purpose, the data is collected with the help of a questionnaire from 115 passengers at Peshawar Airport Pakistan. The results show that all three elements of SRS (Compensation, Speed, and Apology) and two components of Justice Theory (Interactional and Distributive) have a significant positive relationship with customer satisfaction. The only element that has shown insignificant value is procedural justice. The results also indicate that the compensation element of service recovery and interactional justice of Justice Theory have a higher impact on customer after facing a service failure from any Airline company during traveling. The findings suggests that companies should invest more in their front desk employees and should have a recovery strategy that has a major focus on compensation – an element of justice theory – for losses.

The Relationship

The previous justice literatures have studied that member's justice perception influenced member’s attitude and behavior. Since the study of Tepper & Taylor(2003), the recent literature emphasize the necessity of considering trickle-down effect that focus on justice perception flows from leader to member and eventuates influence employee attitude. Therefore, We hypothesized that member' interactional justice perception will be influenced by leader' interactional justice perception in organization. To test multilevel analysis, we collected the survey data from 240 leader and 5626 members and analyzed Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling using Mplus 5. In result, We found that member’ interactional justice increases affective organizational commitment and mediate the relationship between leader' interactional justice and affective organizational commitment.
