Defining Consumer Satisfaction

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A review of the existing literature indicates a wide variance in the definitions of satisfaction. The lack of a consensus definition limits the contribution of consumer satisfaction research. Without a uniform definition of satisfaction, researchers are unable to select an appropriate definition for a given context; develop valid measures of satisfaction; and/or compare and interpret empirical results. Consumer satisfaction researchers have contended that these problems are pervasive and important (Gardial, Clemons, Woodruff, Schumann, and Burns 1994; Peterson and Wilson 1992; Yi 1990).

Satisfaction was comprised of three basic components, a response pertaining to a particular focus determined at a particular time.

More recent satisfaction definitions concede an emotional response. The emotional basis for satisfaction is confirmed by the consumer responses . . .  .. . ... (baca_selengkapnya)
