Service Quality Measurements in a Developing Economy

SERVQUAL versus SERVPERF

Pages 47-60 | Published online: 17 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

The relative practicality and usefulness of alternative measures of service quality is being debated in the marketing literature. This research tests measuring performance perceptions only (SERVPERF) against measuring customer expectations and performance (SERVQUAL) in the context of a developing economy. In addition, both SERVPERF and SERVQUAL scores are weighted with measurements of the importance of service attributes to customers. Findings confirm that SERVPERF and SERVQUAL each contribute different valuable information; however, weighting the measures adds no new information.
