Competitive and Procedural Determinants of Delight and Disappointment in Consumer Complaint Outcomes
Abstract
This article examines the impact of competition and complaint handling procedures on the creation of outstanding complaint resolutions. Using a survey of consumer selfreports of delightful and disappointing complaint experiences, competition is found to have a direct but nonlinear relationship with delight in consumer complaint resolutions. Moreover, the relative impact of consumer loyalty as well as various aspects of complaint handling procedures on the creation of delightful or disappointing resolutions to consumer complaints is examined. Consumer delight and disappointment with complaint outcomes are found to be primarily influenced by compensatory aspects of complaint resolutions.

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.
