involves consumers’ behavioural and attitudinal responses to the service experience. Consumer satisfaction and perceived service quality have dominated the research agenda at this stage of the service consumption process due to their association with business performance. However, consumers who are satisfied and have high perceptions of service quality do not necessarily return to the same service provider or buy their services again.
