Using a library information system in an engineering research environment, this paper investigates the service quality perceptions of professional information system users. This paper also examines the relationship between the relative importance allocated by the system’s users to each of the five SERVPERF dimensions (dimensions that are shared with the SERVQUAL instrument) as measured by the p...

This paper proposes a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach to measurement and benchmarking of service quality. Dealing with measurement of overall service quality of multiple units with SERVPERF as multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM), the proposed approach utilizes DEA, in particular, the pure output model without inputs. The five dimensions of SERVPERF are considered as outputs of the...

There is a dearth of studies pertaining to the influence of SERVPERF on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty among low cost and full service airlines. Prior studies have measured service quality using the GAP-5 model with SERVQUAL; however this study offers a new perspective by using the SERVPERF with an SEM–artificial-neural-networks predictive analytic approach. This is different from t...

The aim of this study is to assess quality perception of information system (IS) services outsourced by a large Brazilian bank, both from a technical (results) as well as from a functional (process, relationship) dimension. It is used the SERVPERF instrument from the SERVQUAL model, which has its structure assessed. SERVPERF is suitable for service quality evaluation. The results revealed unsat...

SERVPERF, the performance component of the Service Quality scale (SERVQUAL), has been shown to measure five underlying dimensions corresponding to Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1988). This paper describes a validation study, employing four different datasets, of a shortened 15-item version of the SERVPERF scale to be called SERVP...

Bridging the trust-based decision-making theories with the SERVPERF framework, we introduce a new model to investigate the effects of human agent service quality of an Instant Messaging Decision Support System (IMDSS) on the customer’s trust and perceived risk before purchasing in a marketplace with uncertainties. We also introduce a new service quality measurement model, IM-SERVPERF, to fill t...

In literature several methods have been proposed for the service quality assessment. A large number of models have been proposed to evaluate Service Quality (Servqual, Normed Quality, Servperf etc.). Starting from the SERVPERF paradigm, in this paper we propose to use Odds Ratio analysis to evaluate Customer Satisfaction. In particular the data has been collected in t hreeway contingency tables...

The role of service quality has become critical to the success of organizations. Therefore, it is important to use a reliable instrument to measure information service quality. SERVQUAL is a popular instrument for doing this, but, though widely used, it has been criticized for its reliability and validity. Use of the performance measures from SERVQUAL to form SERVPERF has addressed some of thes...

Quality has come to be recognized as a strategic tool for attaining operational efficiency and improved business performance. This is true for both the goods and services sectors. However, the problem with management of service quality in service firms is that quality is not easily identifiable and measurable due to inherent characteristics of services which make them different from goods. Vari...

У статті йдеться про модифікований SERVPERF як методику, призначену для вимірювання якості освітніх послуг, що надаються закладами вищої освіти (ЗВО). Вона складається з 26 пунктів, об’єднаних у п’ять блоків і вклю­чена до моніторингового опитування студентів UNiDOS, проводиться факультетом соціології КНУ імені Тараса Шевченка. Мета – виявити так звані «проблемні» пункти: ті, є незрозумілими ре...
