The study also provides the comparative analysis of four alternative extended versions of service quality models namely SERVQUAL, Weighted SERVQUAL, SERVPERF, and Weighted SERVPERF. The quantitative analysis has been conducted and to form the sample for the study, self-administered questionnaires have been distributed and responded to by 500 customers of Pakistani commercial banks. The data was analyzed on four alternative service quality models concerning customers’ opinions regarding service quality expectations, perceptions, and importance, and their impact on customer satisfaction and further efficacy of these alternative models have been compared. The comparative analysis of four alternative service quality models has been carried out by applying construct validity, reliability, uni-dimensionality, and model fit indices on service quality variables revealing that all four service quality models fulfilled the requirement of validity, reliability, and goodness of fit as well as the models significantly and positively impact the customer satisfaction, however, the superiority and higher effectiveness of the Weighted SERVPERF model over the other three service quality models have been established. The mean-based ranking of four alternative service quality models has been attempted and further analysis of banks' high and low-performing variables from a customer perspective was performed. In the Weighted SERVPERF model, the tangible, reliability, and responsiveness variables were established as high-performing, whereas empathy and assurance variables were established as low-performing variables. The bank management should enhance customer satisfaction by improving service quality with a more focused approach as provided in this study.","PeriodicalId":332063,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Experiential Learning & Case Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139388446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to investigate English language anxiety among undergraduate learners at Pakistani private universities and explore the factors affecting language related anxiety. The researchers assessed three demographic variables—age, gender and years of English language learning—alongside three key aspects contributing to language anxiety: Test Anxiety, Fear of negative evaluation, and communication apprehension. Data were collected from one hundred undergraduate participants in the study using English Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (ELCAS). Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and correlation analysis. The data revealed a significant correlation between years of English language study and language anxiety. However, there was no relationship between gender, age and English language anxiety. The multiple regression analysis revealed that the primary factor related to language anxiety is the fear of negative evaluation. The study underscores the importance of addressing the fear of negative evaluation as the key factor in English language anxiety among Pakistani private university undergraduates and recommends tailored language programs and professional development for educators to create a supportive learning environment.","PeriodicalId":332063,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Experiential Learning & Case Studies","volume":"34 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139389171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings of this research are that there is no stationarity issue in all the returns’ series, and the average return for Pre (Category A) and Post Covid periods (Category C) is positive; however, it is negative During the Covid period (Category B) which shows the bearish trend in Pakistan Stock Exchange market (PSX) due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Moreover, the coefficient of variation (CV) is computed, which shows that pre-COVID tenure has the highest relative dispersion (CV = 44.43), followed by during COVID (CV = 40.76), and post-COVID tenure has the most negligible coefficient of relative dispersion (CV = 23.1) which refers to the least volatile phenomenon. The findings also suggest no statistically significant difference among all average returns, and all are equal.

With a Google form survey, the data was collected from 156 organic food buyers in Karachi (Pakistan) because of limited resources. Using the PLS-SEM method, we discover that consumers’ intentions to buy organic food are significantly positively influenced by economic value, emotional value, social value, and functional value quality. The structural relationship between consumption values and the intention to buy organic food is further found to be significantly mediated by attitude toward purchasing. In contrast, the relationship between attitude toward purchasing and the intention to buy organic food was moderated by perceived behavioral control. According to our findings, promoting treatments that address attitudes toward purchases is a potential method to encourage persistent purchase intentions. These findings significantly impact how the organic food business develops based on consumer preferences.","PeriodicalId":332063,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Experiential Learning & Case Studies","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115661851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
