3 dimensions in service exchange model
Service experience is the main of the 3 dimensions contained in the service exchange model where a customer’s service experience is determined by three service promises both implicitly and explicitly. These promises will make a customer have an expectation that must be fulfilled and if not fulfilled the experience of a customer will disappoint. His promises are:
- The service deliverable (or delivery promise) is the main reason why customers approach private sector businesses i.e. to buy certain products such as buying a car, or government departments to obtain services. According to Gronroos (1984; 1988) this can be seen as part of the technical quality and functional quality that describes a quality of service that will be received by customers when visiting a service provider and how they perceive the results of the service.
- The service organisation (or) is a type of promise in which a reputable organization where customers can have trust. Brand promise will see the image of an organization of service providers directly affected by technical and functional quality (Gronroos, 1984; 1988).
- The service engagement (or engagement promise) is the process that the customer experiences when he interacts with the business, where the promise of employees of a company is a competent employee, polite, and willing to provide the delivery needed by the customer. According to Durvasula, Lysonski and Mehta (2005), and Mattila and Enz (2002) say that these attributes can affect customer perception and satisfaction
