Abstract
[ 126 ]
Introduction
Published studies of applications of
SERVQUAL have focused mainly on the USA
and, in relation to retail banking have
featured banks in North America, Australia,
Hong Kong and Singapore. This paper
presents a case study of a pioneering use of
SERVQUAL in the UK by one of the top ten
retail banks. Unlike most existing accounts
of service quality improvement initiatives
this study is empirical and qualitative rather
than conceptual and quantitative. Such an
approach is supported by Gummesson (1998),
who observed: ``There is a need for inductive
research that allows reality to tell its own full
story without forcing received theory on it''.
This study therefore seeks to add some
empirical insights to the theoretical
literature on service quality through a
depiction of a major High Street bank's fiveyear quality improvement programme, at the
heart of which lay the systematic application
of SERVQUAL. Specifically, this paper
explores the ways in which SERVQUAL was
used in a retail bank as a diagnostic tool. It
examines the difficulties that arise in the
measurement process (including the
administration and collection of the data,
sample selection, timing, retrospection) and
suggests that its value may not be fully
realised if the measuring process is not well
executed. Indeed, it may be easy to adopt
SERVQUAL and implement large-scale
surveys and continue to measure outcomes
but if they are not acted on it becomes a futile
exercise. Finally, this paper explores the
relationship between SERVQUAL use and
the management of service quality.
The paper is structured into the following
sections:
1 the financial services environment;
2 a review of the relevant industry and
academic literature;
3 explanation of the methodology;
4 the case study itself; and
5 discussion of selected aspects.

Methodology
The methodology adopted for this combined
an examination of SERVQUAL survey data
for 1993-97 and of customer commitment
survey data for 1995-98,with the bank's own
literature annual report and accounts 199399, employee opinion surveys and company
leaflets. The company documentation was
augmented with in-depth interviews
employing an evolutionary interview
structure in which the focus, issues and
practice-areas grew over time as the
programme progressed from pilot in 1993 to
the eve of its sixth year. Fourteen in-depth
interviews were conducted at headquarters
with senior managers including the director
of the national retail branch network with
overall responsibility for the selection and
implementation of the SERVQUAL surveys
together with senior managers from retail
support, personnel, marketing and human
resources over a period from January 1995 to
May 1999. These interviews were augmented
by drawing on the few accessible executive
