“Similarly, the importance of different justice dimensions remains unclear.”
From A Meta-Analysis of Organizational Complaint Handling and Customer Responses (2011) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999
In the citing paper
“It is argued and empirically shown that justice perceptions (distributive, procedural, and interactional justice) completely mediate the relationship between organizational responses and post-complaint satisfaction (Karande, Magnini, and Tam 2007; Maxham III and Netemeyer 2003; Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999).”
From A Meta-Analysis of Organizational Complaint Handling and Customer Responses (2011) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999
In the citing paper
“Justice theory is used in more recent studies, which provide evidence that customers, who perceive the organizational response to a complaint as fair, display higher levels of post-complaint satisfaction than those who perceive the response as unfair (Maxham III and Netemeyer 2002; Patterson, Cowley, and Prasongsukarn 2006; Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999).”
From A Meta-Analysis of Organizational Complaint Handling and Customer Responses (2011) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999
In the citing paper
“Research provides evidence that each organizational response may affect the three justice dimensions (Homburg and Fu ¨ rst 2005; Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999).”
From A Meta-Analysis of Organizational Complaint Handling and Customer Responses (2011) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999
In the citing paper
“First, extant studies cover only some of the relevant constructs (e.g., Liao 2007; Maxham III and Netemeyer 2002; Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999) instead of conjointly analyzing the full range of relationships in an overall model.”
From A Meta-Analysis of Organizational Complaint Handling and Customer Responses (2011) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999
In the citing paper
“other research suggests that type and level of compensation affect customer responses (Mount and Mattila 2000; Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999).”
From A Meta-Analysis of Organizational Complaint Handling and Customer Responses (2011) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999
In the citing paper
“The results of our study reveal that the common contention of distributive justice to be the most salient determinant of post-complaint satisfaction (e.g., Kau and Loh 2006; Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999) is true only for transaction-specific satisfaction. For cumulative satisfaction, however, distributive justice does not play a salient role.”
From A Meta-Analysis of Organizational Complaint Handling and Customer Responses (2011) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999
In the citing paper
“Although research consistently shows that an apology has a positive main effect on justice perceptions (Liao 2007; Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999)”
From A Meta-Analysis of Organizational Complaint Handling and Customer Responses (2011) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999
In the citing paper
“In addition, in the services literature, it has been found that perceptions of justice affect the overall satisfaction with the service encounter (Mattila and Cranage 2005;Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999;Sparks and McColl-Kennedy 2001;Tax, Brown, and Chandrashekaran 1998).”
From Recovery Voice and Satisfaction After Service Failure: An Experimental Investigation of Mediating and Moderating Factors (2007) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999
In the citing paper
“Others, such as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner (1999), have modeled the effect of recovery attributes such as response speed on procedural justice and procedural justice on satisfaction separately but have not specifically tested for its mediating effect.”
From Recovery Voice and Satisfaction After Service Failure: An Experimental Investigation of Mediating and Moderating Factors (2007) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner (1999)
In the citing paper
“It also eliminates the managerial undesirability of intentionally subjecting customers to failure situations (Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999).”
From Recovery Voice and Satisfaction After Service Failure: An Experimental Investigation of Mediating and Moderating Factors (2007) · cites this paper as Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999
In the citing paper
“Last, this approach has advantages over asking participants to recall actual service failures and recoveries using a retrospective-type approach (Smith and Bolton 1998;Smith, Bolton, and Wagner 1999).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
