CUSTOMER
SATISFACTION
2.1 MEANING
Customer satisfaction3 a term freBuentl8 used in mar<eting3 is a measure of
how produ9ts and ser;i9es supplied b8 a 9ompan8 meet or surpass 9ustomer
e:pe9tation1 Customer satisfa9tion is defined as Lthe number of 9ustomers3 or
per9entage of total 9ustomers3 whose reported e:perien9e with a firm3 its produ9ts3 or
its ser;i9es $ratings' e:9eeds spe9ified satisfa9tion goals1@ In a sur;e8 of nearl8 4))
senior mar<eting managers3 F+ per9ent responded that the8 found a 9ustomer
satisfa9tion metri9 ;er8 useful in managing and monitoring their businesses1
It is seen as a <e8 performan9e indi9ator within business and is often part of
a Balan9ed S9ore9ard 1 In a 9ompetiti;e mar<etpla9e where businesses 9ompete for
9ustomers3 9ustomer satisfa9tion is seen as a <e8 differentiator and in9reasingl8 has
be9ome a <e8 element of business strateg81
LEithin organiCations3 9ustomer satisfa9tion ratings 9an ha;e powerful effe9ts1 #he8
fo9us emplo8ees on the importan9e of fulfilling 9ustomersM e:pe9tations1
Furthermore3 when these ratings dip3 the8 warn of problems that 9an affe9t sales and
profitabilit81 #hese metri9s Buantif8 an important d8nami91 Ehen a brand has lo8al
9ustomers3 it gains positi;e word5of5mouth mar<eting3 whi9h is both free and highl8
effe9ti;e1L
#herefore3 it is essential for businesses to effe9ti;el8 manage 9ustomer satisfa9tion1
#o be able do this3 firms need reliable and representati;e measures of satisfa9tion1
LIn resear9hing satisfa9tion3 firms generall8 as< 9ustomers whether their produ9t or
ser;i9e has met or e:9eeded e:pe9tations1 #hus3 e:pe9tations are a <e8 fa9tor behind
satisfa9tion1 Ehen 9ustomers ha;e high e:pe9tations and the realit8 falls short3 the8
will be disappointed and will li<el8 rate their e:perien9e as less than satisf8ing1 For
this reason3 a lu:ur8 resort3 for e:ample3 might re9ei;e a lower satisfa9tion rating than
a budget motelRe;en though its fa9ilities and ser;i9e would be deemed superior in
JabsoluteJ terms1
#he importan9e of 9ustomer satisfa9tion diminishes when a firm has
in9reased bargaining power1 For e:ample3 9ell phone plan pro;iders3 su9h
as A# > # and 2eriCon3 parti9ipate in an industr8 that is anoligopol83 where onl8 a few
suppliers of a 9ertain produ9t or ser;i9e e:ist1 As su9h3 man8 9ell phone plan 9ontra9ts
ha;e a lot of fine print with pro;isions that the8 would ne;er get awa8 if there were3
sa83 a hundred 9ell phone plan pro;iders3 be9ause 9ustomer satisfa9tion would be wa8
too low3 and 9ustomers would easil8 ha;e the option of lea;ing for a better 9ontra9t
offer1
#here is a substantial bod8 of empiri9al literature that establishes the benefits of
9ustomer satisfa9tion for firms1
2.2 PURPOSE OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Customer satisfa9tion pro;ides a leading indi9ator of 9onsumer pur9hase
intentions and lo8alt81L LCustomer satisfa9tion data are among the most freBuentl8
9olle9ted indi9ators of mar<et per9eptions1 #heir prin9ipal use is twofold.L
LEithin organiCations3 the 9olle9tion3 anal8sis and dissemination of these data send a
message about the importan9e of tending to 9ustomers and ensuring that the8 ha;e a
positi;e e:perien9e with the 9ompan8Ms goods and ser;i9es1L
LAlthough sales or mar<et share 9an indi9ate how well a firm is performing currently3
satisfa9tion is perhaps the best indi9ator of how li<el8 it is that the firmMs 9ustomers
will ma<e further pur9hases in the future1 "u9h resear9h has fo9used on the
relationship between 9ustomer satisfa9tion and retention1 Studies indi9ate that the
ramifi9ations of satisfa9tion are most strongl8 realiCed at the e:tremes1L On a fi;e5
point s9ale3 Lindi;iduals who rate their satisfa9tion le;el as JGJ are li<el8 to be9ome
return 9ustomers and might e;en e;angeliCe for the firm1 $A se9ond important metri9
related to satisfa9tion is willingness to re9ommend1 #his metri9 is defined as L#he
per9entage of sur;e8ed 9ustomers who indi9ate that the8 would re9ommend a brand
to friends1L Ehen a 9ustomer is satisfied with a produ9t3 he or she might re9ommend
it to friends3 relati;es and 9olleagues1 #his 9an be a powerful mar<eting ad;antage1'
LIndi;iduals who rate their satisfa9tion le;el as J+3J b8 9ontrast3 are unli<el8 to return1
Further3 the8 9an hurt the firm b8 ma<ing negati;e 9omments about it to prospe9ti;e
9ustomers1 Eillingness to re9ommend is a <e8 metri9 relating to 9ustomer
satisfa9tion1L
2.3 Construction of Customer Satisfaction
OrganiCations need to retain e:isting 9ustomers while targeting non5
9ustomers1 "easuring 9ustomer satisfa9tion pro;ides an indi9ation of how su99essful
the organiCation is at pro;iding produ9ts andDor ser;i9es to the mar<etpla9e1
Customer satisfa9tion is measured at the indi;idual le;el3 but it is almost alwa8s
reported at an aggregate le;el1 It 9an be3 and often is3 measured along ;arious
dimensions1 A hotel3 for e:ample3 might as< 9ustomers to rate their e:perien9e with
its front des< and 9he9<5in ser;i9e3 with the room3 with the amenities in the room3
with the restaurants3 and so on1 Additionall83 in a holisti9 sense3 the hotel might as<
about o;erall satisfa9tion Jwith 8our sta81
As resear9h on 9onsumption e:perien9es grows3 e;iden9e suggests that 9onsumers
pur9hase goods and ser;i9es for a 9ombination of two t8pes of benefits. hedoni9 and
utilitarian1 Hedoni9 benefits are asso9iated with the sensor8 and e:periential attributes
of the produ9t1 Utilitarian benefits of a produ9t are asso9iated with the more
instrumental and fun9tional attributes of the produ9t $Batra and Athola +,,)'
1
Customer satisfa9tion is an ambiguous and abstra9t 9on9ept and the a9tual
manifestation of the state of satisfa9tion will ;ar8 from person to person and
produ9tDser;i9e to produ9tDser;i9e1 #he state of satisfa9tion depends on a number of
both ps89hologi9al and ph8si9al ;ariables whi9h 9orrelate with satisfa9tion beha;iors
su9h as return and re9ommend rate1 #he le;el of satisfa9tion 9an also ;ar8 depending
on other options the 9ustomer ma8 ha;e and other produ9ts against whi9h the
9ustomer 9an 9ompare the organiCationJs produ9ts1
Eor< done b8 /arasuraman3 Aeithaml and Berr8 between +,-G and +,-- pro;ides the
basis for the measurement of 9ustomer satisfa9tion with a ser;i9e b8 using the gap
between the 9ustomerJs e:pe9tation of performan9e and their per9ei;ed e:perien9e of
performan9e1 #his pro;ides the measurer with a satisfa9tion LgapL whi9h is ob=e9ti;e
and Buantitati;e in nature1 Eor< done b8 Cronin and #a8lor propose the
L9onfirmationDdis9onfirmationL theor8 of 9ombining the LgapL des9ribed b8
/arasuraman3 Aeithaml and Berr8 as two different measures into a single
measurement of performan9e a99ording to e:pe9tation1

using a Li<ert #e9hniBue or s9ale1 #he 9ustomer is as<ed to e;aluate ea9h statement
