CHAPTER 3

3.1 Theoretical Background Study

The customer gap is the differences between customer perceptions and customer
expectations. Customer expectations are reference points that customers bring into
familiarity, but customer perceptions are biased assessments of real services experience.
Customer expectation generally consists ofcustomer believes, customers think that they
have received what they expected. But practically it is rare which leads to gap between
customer expectations and perceptions and there are five types of gaps they are:

 GAP 1: It is the disparity between the customers’ expectation and the perception
of this expectation byorganization.
 GAP2: It is the disparity between the perception of the customer expectations
byorganization staff andtangible features of the service.
 GAP 3: It is the disparity between the prerequisite of service quality and the
quality of actual service conditions.
 GAP 4: It is the disparity between the quality of service provided and the
information on service provided to customers.
 GAP 5: It is the difference between level of satisfaction of the customer's
expectations and customerjudgment of the service

The listening gap (gap 1) is the difference between customer expectations of service and
company understanding of those expectations. The firms should give preference and
accurate understanding of customer’s expectations rather than meeting of customer’s. the
information about customer expectations is obtained by doing the market research
through customer interview, survey research, complaints system, and customer panels.

The lack of upward communication is a key factor listening gap. Frontline employees are
directly in contact with customers, so they will have information about customer needs
and preferences. If management is not in contact with frontline employees then they can’t
understand what employees know.

When companies more concentric about new customer then they fails to understanding
the changes in needs and expectations of existing customers. Lack of service recovery is
one of the reasons for listening gap. Lack of encouragement to listen to customer
complaints which make customer dissatisfaction it will widens the listening gap. Majority
of companies fails in providing appropriate recovery mechanisms if service is failed.

3.2 DIMENSIONS OF SERVICE QUALITY

Service quality is a critical element of customer perceptions. It is also be a very important


tool to measure the customer satisfaction. The customer expectations and perception are
based on five dimensions they are Reliability, Assurance, Tangibles, Empathy and
Responsiveness.

RELIABILITY

It plays major role satisfaction of customer related toservice quality. Reliability is defined
as the capability to perform as promised dependent and accurate services or company
should deliver as they promised to customer in service provision, problem resolution, and
pricing.

RESPONSIVENESS

It is the readiness to assist customers to offeron time services. It concentrates more


onkindnessand promptness in facing customer requests, questions, complaints and
problems. To do extremely well on the dimension of responsiveness, a company should
view the process of service delivery from customer view rather than employee prospect.

ASSURANCE

Assurance defines employee knowledge and courtesy and the capacity ofinspiring the
customerfaith and assurance of customers. Assuranceplays major role in service
industries which offers high intensity of risks, such as automobile repair and hospital
services. The importance of the assurance increases withpercentage of the risk and the
better the incapability for a customer to assess the service

EMPATHY

Empathy is defined as the kindness, individual attention given towards customers. The
fundamental nature of empathy is assigning through personalized or customized service,
to customers who are unique and special. The capability understanding the customer
needs.

TANGIBLE

Tangible is known as the appearing of physical facilities, equipment, and workforce and
information materials. Service industry like hospitals and restaurants depends more on
tangible factors. Customers habituallycritic the quality of a hotel experience based on
quality of the physical atmosphere and tangible amenities. It provides physical
representation or images of the service those customers, especially for new customers.
