Abstract

Service recovery activities are primarily managed by service delivery functions. However, service recovery satisfaction has received little attention in service management literature. This study outlines a proposed conceptual model to examine the post service recovery process and then an empirical study was conducted to test this model. A quantitative study was conducted based on data collected through a structured questionnaire with samples who use customer relationship management Software-as-a-Service. The study points to the need for an array of service management research efforts and will lead to a better understanding of the customer’s perception of post service recovery.
