expectations
Fair Treatment

Service recovery experts Steve Brown and Stave Tax have
documented three spesific types of justice that consumers
are looking for following their complaints ;




Outcome fairness
Procedural fairness
Interactional fairness
Fairness Themes in Service
Recovery
Fair Treatment


Outcome Fairness

Customers expect equity in the exchange ,
They want to feel that the company has paid for its
mistakes in a manner at least equal to what customer has
suffered.
The company’s punishment should fit the crime .


Interactional Fairness

Customers expect to be treated politely, with care and
honesty.
Fair Treatment


Prosedural Fairness

Customers expect fairness in terms of policies, rules and
timeliness of the complaint process.
- They want easy access to the complaint process and
things to be handled quickly, preferably by the first person
they contact.
- Fair procedures are characterized by clarity, speed and
absence of hassles.
- Customers feel unfair if they have to proof their case.
Switching versus staying following
service recovery
•

•

•



Researchers found that customers who were not
satisfied with the service recovery were much likely to
switch to a different provider.
The magnitude and criticality of the failure will clearly be
a factor in the future repurchase decisions;
If the failure more serious, customer is to switch no
matter what the recovery effort.
To remian loyal to the service provider or to switch to
another provider.
Switching versus staying following
service recovery
Types of customers’ relationship with the firm also influence
whether the customers stays or switches providers.
If customers have a true relationships with service providers are
more forgiving of service failures and less likely to switch than
are those who have a pseudo-relationship or a first time
encounter.
True relationship : customer has had repeated contact over
time with the same service provider.
First time encounter : customer has had only one contact.
Pseudo relationship : customer has interacted many times
with the same company, but with different service providers
each time.

Complaining customers want quick responses. Half of
all customers who have problems resolved immediately or
with in 24 hours are completely satisfied.

employees to solve a complaint.Research suggest that
if a problem can be handled by the first contact

services and strengthen ties with customers.

Another key of an effective service recovery strategy is to learn
from the customers who defect or decide to leave.

Service Guarantees
A guarantee is a particular type of recovery tool.
With a tangible product,the customer is quaranteed that it
will perform as promised and if not it can be returned.

to undo what has been performed.

are benefits for doing so.
