Literature Review

The literature has explores sources of satisfiers and dissatisfiers and recognized that they are typically different. Dissatisfiers refer to the necessary but not sufficient antecedents for service performance (Cadotte & Turgeon, 1988). That is, the absence of such performance results in dissatisfaction. Contrarily, satisfiers refer to unusual performance that triggers strong satisfaction (Cadotte & Turgeon, 1988). For example, attribution of service failure to the firm determines reduced quality perception and reduces satisfaction (Iglesias, 2009).
