Employees' overestimation of functional and relational service quality: A gap analysis
Article Abstract:
A field study of 36 hotels and 35 restaurants is conducted using a questionnaire format to measure both functional and relational service quality, as well as customers' loyalty. The results of the survey revealed that the employees surveyed overestimated the service quality they offer to customers, although gaps were greater for certain service attributes than for others. The findings also showed that employees' overestimation of relational benefits plays a moderating role in increasing the negative relationship between employees' overestimation of functional service quality and customers' loyalty. The theoretical and managerial implications of the results are analyzed.
