Information Systems Service Quality on IS Service Reuse," Information & Management
(46:6), pp. 335-341.
IS researchers have normally assumed that satisfaction is the key factor influencing
IS customers’ reuse of services; however, a focus on customer satisfaction does not
always guarantee customer retention. We synthesized customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction
models from prior service quality research to provide a comprehensive model predicting
the behavioral intentions of customers to reuse IS services. Five research hypotheses
were empirically tested by using a field study of 263 users of an IS service department.
Our findings placed IS service quality in a causal network leading to IS service reuse
and highlighted the relative importance that service quality value played in predicting
behavioral intention to reuse the service.
