Introduction
a) Service Quality
ey to success and survival of any business is the
deliverance of quality services to customers and
Islamic banks are not exception to this. The
banking industry is facing very intense competition due
to technological advancement and improved communication systems. Financial services provided by banks
are generally undifferentiated products. The banks can
distinguish themselves on the basis of improved service
quality which is critical for expansion of market share
(Shafie, Azmi & Haron, 2004). However, it is difficult to
define and measure quality in services because of the
intangible nature of services offered. However, a series
of researches have been conducted to determine what
service quality actually means, what the dimensions of
service qualities are and how a bank can have an edge
over its competitors in this intensely competitive market.
Customer satisfaction, loyalty, recommendation to
others, etc. can be achieved through improved service
quality.
