There are various ways to define Customer Satisfaction. Anderson et al. (1994) viewed customer satisfaction as
customers overall experience while buying or consuming products or services. Baker and Crompton (2000)
suggested that Customer Satisfaction is a personal experience derived from differences between personal
expectations and actual receives.
Anderson et al. (1997) pointed out that companies should consider customer satisfaction and productivity
together in order to gain business growth, positive word-of-mouth and increase overall profitability and image.
Boshoff and Gray (2004) Stated that products and Services do not contain customer satisfaction inherently but,
instead, customer satisfaction is included in perception of every customer about the product and service
attributes.
According to Anton (1996) customer satisfaction is customer’s state of mind when his/her expectations met or
exceeds the perception and result in post- purchase decision of loyalty. Fornell (1992) added that favorable
word-of-mouth and repurchasing are the results of customer satisfaction.
