Behavioral Intentions in Service Recovery: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of service recovery on customer behaviour through a meta-analytic method. To deepen understanding of the relationship between service recovery and behavioural intention, the study analysed 31 articles from diverse research fields in Web of Science (WOS) and Google Scholar. The data from this study were analysed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software v4. Egger's test and Funnel Plot graph were used to identify and evaluate potential biases in the studies. Additionally, a Heterogeneity test was performed to ensure that the included studies represent the general population and that this sample reflects population trends. The Meta Analysis Forest Graph was used to visually represent the results. The research results show that the average effect size is 0.396 with a 95% confidence interval between 0.261 and 0.515, indicating a moderate positive relationship. The findings suggest that service recovery positively impacts consumers' future behaviour, and the effect size is both significant and statistically reliable. This meta-analysis contributes significantly to the literature by systematically synthesizing the effects of service recovery on customer behaviours. The findings may aid businesses in designing service recovery strategies more effectively and assist future studies.
