Service Quality
THE EMERGENCE OF END USER COMPUTING in the mid-1980s placed IS organizations
in the dual role of information provider (producing an information product) and service
provider (providing support for end user developers). Pitt et al. observed that
“commonly used measures of IS effectiveness focus on the products rather than the
services of the IS function. Thus, there is a danger that IS researchers will mismeasure
IS effectiveness if they do not include in their assessment package a measure of IS
service quality” [37, p. 173]. Other researchers have agreed with this, citing the need
for a service quality measure to be a part of IS success [25, 28, 56].
Researchers who have argued that service quality be added to the success model
have applied and tested the 22-item SERVQUAL measurement instrument from marketing
[25, 37] to an IS context. This instrument uses the dimensions of tangibles,
reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy to measure service quality. Some
sample SERVQUAL instrument items include:
