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.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the Islamic banking literature by examining the impact of different factors of customer service quality on customer satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach The paper presents a model which is not frequently used in Islamic banking literature and shows relationships between six factors of customer service quality and customer satisfaction in the Islamic banking sector. Customers of five main Islamic banks are contributing in this study. Findings This paper demonstrates strong and positive relationships between the six main dimensions of customer service quality (Compliance, Assurance, Reliability, Tangibility, Empathy and Responsiveness) and customer satisfaction. Research limitations/implications The study may suffer from lack of generalization, as it is conducted in one country (Bahrain). It might also be useful to enlarge the study sample and include comparison between Islamic versus conventional banking with regard to service quality and customer satisfaction. Practical implications This paper can influence the current Islamic banks with regard to service quality with an ultimate aim of increasing customer satisfaction and retaining customers. Originality/value This study is one of the few that focus on effects of customer service quality dimensions on customer satisfaction in the Islamic banking sector. It reveals that, although customers pay special attention to Sharia’h laws (compliance) in their transactions with banks, the way services are delivered matters to them too.

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.

Banks must meet the needs of their customers in order to achieve sustainable development. The aim of this paper is to examine service quality dimensions, by using the modified SERVQUAL model, which can be used to measure customer satisfaction, and the effect of these dimensions (tangibles, responsiveness, empathy, assurance, reliability, access, financial aspect, and employee competences) on customer satisfaction in Jordanian banks. Data were gathered from 825 customers in the Jordanian banking sector. The sample data were statistically analyzed through exploratory factor analysis by the SPSS program to determine service quality perception and customer satisfaction. The results illustrate that the modified SERVQUAL Model extracted four subscales in the new model instead of eight in the initial model. The first subscale contains four dimensions—assurance, reliability, access and employee competences. The second subscale consists of two dimensions—responsiveness and empathy. The third and fourth subscales—financial aspect and tangibility—are separate factors. Further studies should consider the dimensions of access, financial aspect, and employee competences as essential parts of service quality dimensions with the other subscales, so as to improve wider customer satisfaction in the banking sector. In the authors’ opinion, the modified SERVQUAL model is useful for addressing customer satisfaction in the banking sector.

This article represents the differences between expectations and perceptions of service quality among international postgraduate students in UTM by calculating the gap scores in SERVQUAL scale. In addition, this article indicates the service quality dimensions which are evident among these students by using all calculated gap scores in factor analysis. Also, one sample t-test was conducted to find the level of service quality from the perspective of the participants. This study used a modified service quality (SERVQUAL) instrument which was validated by a pilot study and distributed to 353 of international postgraduate students in UTM who were selected by stratified sampling to reach to its results. The results demonstrate the negative gap scores among all 22 items of SERVQUAL scale and it shows that the students’ expectations of service quality are more than their perceived service quality in this university. Additionally, four dimensions, namely tangible, consistency, assurance and compassion, were identified in the SERVQUAL scale. Finally, the low level of service quality is demonstrated from the perspective of international postgraduate students in UTM.

Several studies have revealed that there is a relationship between the quality ofservice o§ered by the service provider and the level of satisfaction among their customers.But as we know that service quality from the customerís perspective is very subjective.Therefore, service quality dimensions cannot be generalized for all types of services. Thoughthe SERVQUAL model of measuring service quality has proven its applicability across allservices, there is a need to have sector-speciÖc Service Quality Management (SQM) Model.This paper attempts to Önd out the SQM model for the Indian banking sector coveringpublic, private and foreign banks. Principal factors of banking service quality have beenidentiÖed which are important for customer satisfaction in a particular type of bank.
