Consumer responses to service failures: influence of procedural and interactional fairness perceptions
Article Abstract:
Procedural and interactional fairness can influence consumer perception of satisfaction and fairness in case of service failures. Procedural fairness or voice is concretized as the opportunity to present information and express sentiments while interactional fairness is the apology to the consumer. A more favorable outcome, in which perceptions of satisfaction and fairness are significantly boosted, results when voice and apology are accompanied by a tangible reward. When no such remedies are provided, apology and voice have less impact on consumer perception.
