Abstract
Service performance variability and failures also arise from the inseparability of service production and consumption, which prevents quality inspections of most services prior to delivery. Service marketers therefore have a large stake in understanding both the consequences of failure and how to provide an effective recovery, so that they can minimize customer dissatisfaction following a failure and thus retain the customer´s business. In this study, we consider mobile telecommunication industry as a target and try to find out how different levels of service recovery effects behavior intention in the specific industry. The study is designed as a typical three factor qui-experiments. The results indicate that respond speed is a better way to restore customers´ behavior intention than tangible compensation (reimbursements) , while psychological remedies has negative effect to it. Managerial implications thus are presented.
