Abstract

Purpose: Previous researches in service quality and customer satisfaction in retail banking because of their partial viewpoint have only partial applications. Fact is that; managers in the process of decision making need comprehensive information about customers. Decisions made with partial information have a little reliability. This study attempts to debate about service quality and customer satisfaction in comprehensive way.

Design/methodology/approach: The sample of the study consists of Iran’s Melli bank customers located in Tehran; the capital of Iran. The questionnaire was based on hysteresis model’s variables (Attractiveness; zone of tolerance) and effect. Psychometric properties of the scale (such as reliability) were tested.

Findings: The hysteresis model presented here and the results of the study reveal the integrity of staff; security of account information and accuracy in operations as the most important factors in retail banking.

Research limitations/implications: First the sample of the study is small and is limited to the Melli bank customers. Second; the number of factors which were investigated are low.

Originality/value: It has not been conducted any empirical research using hysteresis model to see whether it replicates previous researches. This study is necessary; useful and relevant because; it focuses on the service quality and the study explores service quality in a comprehensive way (hysteresis model).
