Can Good Citizens Lead the Way in Providing Quality Service? A Field Quasi Experiment

Abstract

In a field quasi experiment, customers were most satisfied with the service quality of the branch of a multinational bank where good organizational citizens had been trained as service quality leaders, and branch employees exhibited the highest conformance to the quality scheme of the bank. In a branch where service quality leaders were randomly selected for training, customer satisfaction and conformance improved more than they did in a branch where no service quality leaders were trained.
