The 5 Dimensions Defined
After extensive research, Zeithaml, Parasuraman and Berry found five dimensions customers use when evaluating service quality. They named their survey instrument SERVQUAL.
In other words, if providers get these dimensions right, customers will hand over the keys to their loyalty. Because they’ll have received service excellence. According to what’s important to them.
The five SERVQUAL dimensions are:
TANGIBLES-Appearance of physical facilities, equipment, personnel, and communication materials
RELIABILITY-Ability to perform the promised service dependably and accurately
RESPONSIVENESS-Willingness to help customers and provide prompt service
ASSURANCE-Knowledge and courtesy of employees and their ability to convey trust and confidence
EMPATHY-Caring, individualized attention the firm provides its customers
Not All Dimensions Are Equal
All dimensions are important to customers, but some more than others.
Service providers need to know which are which to avoid majoring in minors. At the same time they can’t focus on only one dimension and let the others suffer.
SERVQUAL research showed dimensions’ importance to each other by asking customers to assign 100 points across all five dimensions.
Here’s their importance to customers.
