Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to develop and test a model to reveal the influence of complaint satisfaction on corporate reputation, negative word-of-mouth communication and repurchase intentions, and to examine the relationships between them. Data were gathered through survey from bank customers (taking services at least two years) who complained about banking service in any issue at least once and whose complaints were evaluated by the bank during the last year. The results show that the customers have not been satisfied concerning their complaints. The results also show that the complaint satisfaction has positive effects on corporate reputation and repurchase intension, whereas it affects negatively the negative word-of-mouth intention. In addition, the corporate reputation affects negatively the negative word-of-mouth intention and has positive effects on repurchase intention. Certain managerial implications, limitations, suggestions for future research and the conclusion of this research are also briefly discussed in this research
