Abstract
Abstract Customer citizenship behaviors (CCBs) allow firms to boost their performance and competitiveness, but little is known about the impact of customer perceived justice (CPJ) in frontline service encounters on different key dimensions of target-based CCBs. Drawing on the stimulus-organism-response framework and theories of equity and social exchange, the present investigation developed an integrative framework to explore how CPJ influences target-based CCBs in the after-sales service field. Using survey data collected from 368 smartphone customers in China, structural equation modeling via AMOS v. 24 was employed to empirically examine the hypotheses. The findings revealed that CPJ positively impacted the behavior to help other customers and provide feedback to the company. Customer trust and affective commitment mediated the links between CPJ and target-based CCBs, respectively. The findings hold theoretical and practical implications for strategically managing CPJ and target-based CCBs in frontline service encounters.
期刊介绍:
The Review of Marketing Science (ROMS) is a peer-reviewed electronic-only journal whose mission is twofold: wide and rapid dissemination of the latest research in marketing, and one-stop review of important marketing research across the field, past and present. Unlike most marketing journals, ROMS is able to publish peer-reviewed articles immediately thanks to its electronic format. Electronic publication is designed to ensure speedy publication. It works in a very novel and simple way. An issue of ROMS opens and then closes after a year. All papers accepted during the year are part of the issue, and appear as soon as they are accepted. Combined with the rapid peer review process, this makes for quick dissemination.
