Service quality: A conceptual vision of different models, main contributions, characteristics and conclusions
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study develops an analysis of different service quality models, from the key perspective of measurement, analyzing the main basic elements, as well as the measures used for control, evaluation criteria and key determinants to measure customer satisfaction, to more than the proposed quality guarantees. As a result, a series of characteristic and specific conclusions of each service quality measurement model are established through which key variables of affinity, correspondence and congruence can be found that would allow the establishment of alternative measurement approaches in the future, as well as recommendations. and directions for future research in the area. The findings allow us to recognize a series of key variables and determinants closely related to each other that explain and point out the main characteristics that a Quality of Service, model could have, as well as important specific components so that companies can carry out control measures within their organizations.
