This study investigates which factors influence customer’s switching behavior specifically in banks. Flourishing organizations very well aware about one fact that the road to their success moves with their customers. Those companies who do not value their customers they create chance for their rivals to capture customers. Same instance happen in banking sector.

...ation’s employees using their knowledge. Empathy –the ability to understand and share the feelings of customers. (Parasuraman et al., 1988). Perceived qualities as well as customer expectations are the two most important constructs that positively and directly influences overall customer satisfaction. (Yu et al., 2005). Customer satisfaction is directly proportional to service quality. So organizations should pay more attention on service quality. For this, the firms should welcome customer suggestions and should design programs which can measure service quality and customers satisfaction. (Ojo, 2010). Empathy, reliability, responsiveness and tangibility which are the dimensions of service quality are positively related to customer loyalty. Tangibility is one of the most important forecaster of customer loyalty. (Al-Rousan et al., 2010) Research depicts that improvement made to service quality will automatically increments the loyalty of customers. The service quality dimensions that play a significant role in customer loyalty are reliability, empathy, and assurance. (Kheng et al., 2010).

Abstract Background and Objectives: Services quality has become the major concern of policy-makers in the present rapidly growing consumer-oriented health industry. However, there is a major gap in the relevant literature in Malaysia in this particular field. Thus, this research attempted to narrow this gap by conducting a qualitative study to gain insight into quality of healthcare services in the Malaysian private hospitals, as perceived by the patients. Methods: This interview-based study was conducted between November 2013 and January 2014. A sample of 14 patients was randomly selected for interview, from three major Malaysian private hospitals including Kuala Lumpur Pantai Hospital, Prince Court Medical Centre, and KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital. Interview data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire designed based on the literature review. The major themes of healthcare services quality were extracted by iterative review of the interview transcripts. Findings: Analysis of the interview data identified three important aspects of healthcare services quality as perceived by the interviewed patients, including cost and location of services delivery, quality of patient care, availability of adequate facilities. Conclusions: By identifying major factors of patient satisfaction in the private healthcare sector, this study can guide development of effective strategies leading to a higher quality of health services in Malaysia. The study also sets a baseline for future large-scale studies aiming at improving the understanding of patients' unmet expectations from the health system.

...e quality, Private hospital, Malaysia, Cost, Loyalty, Customer satisfaction Background and Objectives In current rapidly growing consumer-oriented health industry, quality has become the integral part. Quality is not the magniloquence of the today’s business enterprise; rather it also occupies a towering position in every business. Without providing quality services, no business can survive. This is also the key point to the healthcare industry nowadays. Service quality works as a suspension bridge, which hangs within customer and organization, and thus, shows the valuable exchange among them [1]. According to Sohail [2], understanding of the customers’ requirement has become a necessity as it helps the practitioners in developing new approaches to provide improved service quality. However, healthcare markets are facing challenges in defining and measuring the service quality [3]. Quality is a very important concern for patients while planning to get treatment. According to Johnson [4], rather than selecting hospital based on price, patients should select it basing on quality and services. However, hospital’s overall reputation, and available facilities should be taken into considerat...

Tourist satisfaction is one of the most important concerns of competitive destinations as it considerably influences the tourist’s choice of a destination, the consumption of products and services and the decision to visit the destination in the future. With the increasing role of tourism in the global economy and growing competition in the global tourism market, the importance of enhancing the satisfaction level of tourists is being recognized as a way to expand and maintain a large and loyal customer base for long-term success. Satisfied tourists bring success to the tourism business. They are likely to revisit and recommend the destination to their families and friends. On the other hand, dissatisfied tourists may not return to the same destination and may not recommend it to other tourists. Even worse, dissatisfied tourists may express negative comments about a destination and damage its market reputation. In view of the growing importance of tourist satisfaction for tourism promotion, present study is an attempt to measure the satisfaction level of tourists in Kashmir Valley. Based on data gathered from three hundred forty (340) tourists, the study brought to light four interpretable service quality dimensions for tourism services: Assurance, Tangibility, Responsiveness and Reliability. Findings are analyzed and suggestions for improving tourists ’ satisfaction have been discussed.
