Benefit Segmentation Using Service Quality Dimensions

TL;DR: In this article, the use of service quality, convenience, and competitiveness as a basis for benefit segmentation was investigated and two segments, a performance driven segment that in the retail bank sector is primarily interested in having the bank "get it right the first time" and a convenience driven segment wants location, were identified.

Resource, service quality and performance triad: a framework for measuring efficiency of banking services

TL;DR: A theoretical framework for measuring the efficiency of banking services taking into account physical and human resources, service quality and performance is proposed here, thereby linking the marketing variables to the financial metrics.

Zone‐of‐tolerance moderates the service quality‐outcome relationship

TL;DR: In this article, the authors aim to extend Zeithaml, Berry and Parasuraman's examination in 1996 of the relationship between service quality and behavioral intentions across the zone of tolerance (ZOT) by heeding Teas and DeCarlo's call in 2004 to examine the relationship for specific dimensions.
